News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

[Horizons '83]

One thing that seems painfully obvious is that the original rock work in the queue "tunnel" really has no place in a New Orleans themed ride. You dig 1 foot in NOLA and you're hitting water. Just doesn't match the attraction. Again, why retrofits never seem to work out very well.

Same for me with Tokyo. Wish they’d bring more to WDW from TDL since I imagine VERY FEW guests visit those two. Many more make it to DL and DLP.

I’d be fine with a total clone of some of the rides (besides frozen we already kinda have it).

Like I said, I really enjoy the Peter Pan ride and Tangled would make a fine D-ticket.

Agreed there. Tangled looks like a great fit for World Showcase (if we accept it must be IP-based).

It’s still there. Or are you suggesting TBA is the new favorite…?

Rip out those bathrooms and let’s get cracking in MK. Assuming there is some space.

If not then sure, WS may work. I’d prefer it in Magic Kingdom though.

See that is what is so interesting!

Every review I've seen on Twitter (by people who have ACTUALLY ridden it) has been relatively positive. They're not "shills", they're not "WOKE DEI enthusiasts," but they are normal park guests riding with their kids and reviews have been glowing.

Maybe we shouldn't take everyone who has the word "Br'er" in their usernames' opinions at face value?

Of course it's better when you ride it.
It's still a great flume ride.
We get no sense of movement sitting at our screens criticising a video.
No smells, feeling of outdoor heat and indoor A/C.
It's all new inside, higher tech, nice lighting.
But that doesn't mean that it could not have and should have been so much better.

I don’t believe there’s enough room at Kingdom Crossing. Or is it Krossing? Can’t believe there’s a name other than Tangled Toilets or Pascal’s Potties.

 

[Surferboy567]

But it doesn't have the stench of being an inferior replacement of something else hanging over its head.

at least it's a new ride/land over there that didn't come at the cost of something else that people loved.

Yeah, that’s the big one I imagine. Once you mess with people’s nostalgic memories by ripping and old (probably superior) ride and replace it with something else. That’s where they run into problems.

There are some rethemes though that I actually prefer over the original though. Buy and large though the above applies.

Fantasy Springs is also a land with 3 attractions

……minor correction due to a minor but absolutely adorable 1st class C ticket style ride: Tinker Bell’s Busy Buggies

Springs has 4 rides/attractions

Correct, forgot about the busy buggies. I don’t really like that attraction but it’s cute for the young ones. It also makes my point a little stronger.

I wish they would show it how it actually is served.

We are not.

Boy, they sure reversed course on that idea real quick. Was this in response to the negative backlash towards TBA, or had they already decided prior to that?

 

[flyerjab]

We are not.

Interesting. So TBA is just going to be inserted into Frontierland as is?

 

[Ayla]

We are not.

That was a quick turnaround from 2 days ago when I asked. lol

It’s a bit early for reception to impact anything. It’s a YouTube video.

This was the response on Sunday about the restaurant.

The ride’s early reception has had no impact on this. There was a window for conversion. They waited and the window closed. So there are no plans for anything there at present. I suspect they want to move onto BBT rapidly. Two months of beignets and then we will be seeing Polynesian artisans given expensive contract work for authenticity.
