Tiana's Bayou Adventure testing - March 4, 2024
Posted: Thursday March 7, 2024 10:54am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Ride system testing continues this week at Tiana's Bayou Adventure as the attraction enters the final stretch toward its summer 2024 opening at Walt Disney World.


Logs have been spotted cycling at the former Splash Mountain's standard operating pace, with ride vehicles taking the plunge at a rapid pace.

Watch the video below to see some of the recent testing that has taken place during the evening hours at Magic Kingdom.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure will open in the summer of 2024, but Disney has yet to announce a precise date.

The earliest and most optimistic estimates place a soft opening around Memorial Day (late May), which may put an official opening sometime in July.

The upcoming D23 Down in New Orleans event on March 23 provides Disney with one of two opportunities to announce an opening date; the other is the Annual Shareholders meeting on April 3.

This post won’t age well once the first ride through videos show us the lift hill ascent is a duet between Mama Odie and Steven Tyler at a rave.

The outside of TBA looks awesome. If the inside matches it then this is going to be one amazing ride.

A small section of wall has been removed to reveal a few props. It also appears a new sign, still wrapped, has been installed in front of the railroad station.
