Tiana's Bayou Adventure set-piece delivery
Posted: Thursday November 2, 2023 1:@2pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Thanks to some lucky timing, we spotted this large set-piece being lifted into position at Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom today.

The set-piece comprises a mechanical crane taking on a rusted, industrial appearance, with a series of gears and pulleys. The arm of the crane is extended and is hoisting a wooden crate, which is suspended by ropes. The crate contains three boxes, one stamped with Tiana's logo.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure replaces Splash Mountain with a planned opening in 2024 at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Wonder how much was involved in lack of continuous maintenance through the years. What with the failures of the set pieces due to lack of maintenance how much overflowed to the ride system...

Believe it or not salt mist is actually a thing. “The air in the mine, saturated with a salt mist, is very healthy and is the reason why the mine has been used as a healthcare facility since the 19th century.”

Tomorrow ? it seems like this mist effect will be cool at night but I can't see how it will be the same with the bright Florida sunshine behind it during the day , but I guess we will see soon enough.

I watched the video on the main page. The mist is right at the peak of the hill. You're going to get half a second of view before dropping. Presuming it's not affected by the wind.

So if media previews are June 9-10 (roughly a month out) shouldn’t they be announcing the opening soon? Don’t previews typically occur for cast members before media?

I feel like in Florida heat, my sunglasses and glasses are constant fog.

You don't even know if the view will be different at all yet, the mist could be far enough back it doesn't change the sightline at all

Personally, no. I like having the view for a handful of seconds rather than just a split second.

The site is VERY active this morning.

Well of course, that's why everyone's so concerned that the flowers will blow downtown

Is there wind in Florida?
