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

[Drew the Disney Dude]

This is likely my final "construction" update ever for this attraction, but they added new props outside of Mama Odie’s house!

The candles look fantastic and there's some fun Mardi Gras beads around them. It's a very simple addition, but it adds a lot to this area, especially at nighttime.

It operated nearly flawlessly tonight! They opened it 40 minutes before when it was scheduled to open, and it was operating without any major issues for the entire night. I am pleasantly surprised (and shocked) at how smoothly the event went. I hope it's a sign for what's to come.

Is it just me or does the new passholder shirt look like it came out of a coloring book.

They couldn't be bothered to paint the floor to look like wear from going in and out of the house??
Looks perfectly plastic from this seat

Even adding some of Mama Odies shoe prints or something would have added much more life to the scene. Worked when it was Br’er Bear’s cave.

Side note: I don't get this scene on Bayou. Whys Mama Odie yelling at us from inside her house? Br'er Bear snoring in there worked because it was perfectly in character for him to take a nap before joining Br'er Fox to chase Br'er Rabbit.

But... but... how could you show off how special you are without it being in big gold letters? Without that, people could think you're a mere tourist.

I thought Mama Odie lived in aN OLD BOat in the bayou, NOT an abandoned salt mine.....

Agree, there was no attention to detail at all like that with this attraction, it was small things such as that which made a difference and enhanced the story and atmosphere,,, they didn't even try in this because they don't have it in them anymore since it was designed by committee and not creatives......it is nice to see a few additions were made, but it feels like more needs to be done throughout.

I wonder if any of the animatronics were failing when Bob rode?

Maybe, they had cast members in camouflage behind the animatronics just in case so they could move them in case they froze?

He looks fine?

Yes, it's a callback to how he allegedly called the ride 'boring' a while back.

I actually sketched a way they could used the cave and actually made it seem like half an ounce of effort was put in - Give it to the bear family we see on the attraction.

That way it could still feel like where a Critter could reasonably live and be a quick retrofit from Br’er Bear's cave

Just like the bison built for Western River Expedition that were rehomed at LttL, this is clearly De La Cruz rehomed with Tiana.

Remember meeeeeeeee
Even though I travel far
