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

[tanc]

Got a lightning lane and plan to get a VQ for this ride, will report my thoughts. Hope I get a good boarding group, going during the first christmas party so hope the ride doesn't break down too many times.

I just saw on Wikipedia a claim that somebody proposed retheming Splash Mountain to Robin Hood.

Considering that, among other things, the description of this hypothetical attraction got Maid Marian's name wrong, I assume none of that is true.

Anyone can edit a wiki page.....

Neither the Splash Mountain nor the TBA wiki pages mention that. Do you have a link?

After watching like a hawk I finally got an earlier time. Kind of ridiculous this ride is still VQ or LL at this point. Wonder if it will go under refurb or they will skip it until 2026.

The refurb it needs won't happen.

From my 2 rides in September - It's decent, at best. Mish mash of ideas that don't work together. Very thin story. Too many gaps in the main show.

It confirms what I said from the beginning - This should be its own ride building and area.

At this point I do not believe the yearly maintenance refurb will happen.

Credit where credit is due, they have done a great job improving this ride’s reliability. It seems like any downtime at this point is solely due to weather.

It’s conflicting for me, I got group 11 VQ and ended up changing my LL. I really dislike the use of screens, and also the animatronic at the end was broken. The finale is cool but the usage of screens again takes away from it to me. Some of the redo is nice, but using projections for fireflies doesn’t work. While I think using lights for fireflies is fine.

I could see why Disneyland is superior because I feel like there’s just not much going on at times. The critters are all well done I guess.

I think really it just doesn’t feel like it was made as a New Orleans sort of flume. It’s obvious it’s just a fresh coat of paint on the old building. In a way kind of baffled they didn’t make original buildings for the queue, idk just doesn’t look right to me.

Not worth an hour wait on a normal day, I couldn't imagine waiting an hour during an event where time is that valuable...

 

[Disney Analyst]

The Disneyland opening certainly feels like a much bigger event.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

From far away it looks like funeral bunting.

That also once again confirms that design work was not in the works for many years before the announcement.

They are trying hard to make this a thing.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

Hmm. Sounds like we were right on the money:

The two versions are so different in length and pacing that I’m not sure how they’re going to design something that works well for both.

I predict they won’t.

Exactly. That's a huge strike against this project already. One or both of the versions of this are going to have some sizable gaps in which nothing is happening.

 

[WorldExplorer]

Imagine actually walking through the scenes of an iconic Disney attraction and going "hm...here I think we should put...some weeds".

They were literally hammering out the pacing for DL's the day Splash closed. Seems like something they would want nailed down before the ride closes.

All the more reason why WDW shouldn't get rid of their riverboat. We can't get things like this with it gone.

Have they used it previously like this? I know Disneyland does.
