Tiana's Bayou Adventure construction - May 2 2024
Posted: Thursday May 2, 2024 10:33am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Scaffolding is down at Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, with all of the visible areas of the main structure now seemingly complete.








Most of the external work is now focused on the queue area behind the railroad station, which is also rapidly approaching completion.

Disney is still waiting to provide an opening date, but the best estimates continue to suggest some previews for select groups to begin in early June.

No it was near the briar patch when Splash opened. It didn't have a critter name though so it was just a random house.

just speculation so far,,,,I watched a splash video the other day and had forgotten just how much show space, depth and intricate detail was down there, it was incredible.....I just hope they didn't block off/fill all this in, and have actually used it in the same way in terms of the infrastructure of it.

Maelstrom was often a walk-on

I mentioned this a while ago (over 100 pages back), do we have any indication what song plays in the Laughin Place yet?

The logs don’t look changed to me, but the soak factor is determined by the weight of the log and the angle of the ‘scoop’ on the front. If they wanted to lessen the splash, they would’ve needed to lighten the logs somehow as well as sharpen the angle of the scoop to ‘push’ the water away from riders rather than towards them. Nothing obvious visually seems to have been done, but who knows, they may have sanded the logs to adjust the scoop or found a way to internally lighten them.

The logs were not changed

Does anyone think they might have tried to adjust the shape of the ride vehicles to lessen the soaking factor? I know nothing about this (am not a water log engineer and never played one on TV). I know only that log rides in general seem to vary in amount of water that hits riders. I’m hoping to ride Tiana’s later this year, but my wife and kids avoid water rides because they don’t like feeling soggy.

Would love to see this footage... hoping this means the water becomes lit up like that concept art

That is probably why I was given (by other posters) my username way back when.

Oh I had no idea what that title under her name meant. I'm not dumb lol It is just funny to me almost all of her replies are basically telling children to shut up and stay focused
