Tiana's Bayou Adventure construction - April 13 2023
Posted: Friday April 14, 2023 9:52am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Here is the latest look at the progress on transforming Splash Mountain into Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.


At the top of the mountain, the tree stump has now been completely removed, leaving quite a large space surrounded by scaffolding.





Moving to the bottom of the mountain, Imagineers and construction crews are working on new rockwork at the splash-down of the flume.




Tiana's Bayou Adventure is set to open at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom in late 2024.

I actually like the mist idea, except it will be broken within a week and they won't fix it and they'll spin at as a 'opening week limited time magic' activation 😂

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
