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.

Pretty sure this will likely be VQ only just like the other recent new Attractions began with, and some still retain. Too much to deal with otherwise and OPs will want to address the crowd control issues / potentially long lines that will form in what is already a somewhat compact area in comparison to other places in the Park. VQ will help alleviate those issues……as well as push Guests to empty wallets for LL who miss the time windows. No way Disney will pass up all that easy money….all a part of the master plan. So get your thumbs flexing and start practicing your seven second timing. It’s coming…. -

You’ve already posted about them—the tiara multiple times. Why pretend you’re being silenced when a simple search of this thread proves otherwise?

They said preview information is going out tomorrow, will we get info on weather it'll be VQ or standby tomorrow?

I’m just checking, is the 1970’s Electric Company mural and giant tiara on a water tower in Frontierland finished yet? Are we allowed to comment on these yet? Just let us know when they are complete, thanks.

Hope we get a melody like Splash’s previous soundtrack release.

Sure. It’s definitely not. On the other hand, looking at how fast Universal is building an entire theme park makes TBA in 18 months seem not particularly impressive or worthy of praise. It’s a reskin. They aren’t constructing a new ride system from the ground up, they replaced animatronics and did cosmetic work.

Just like driving through New Orleans on I-10.

When they say soundtrack in this case, I think they're just referring to the music in the ride as the "soundtrack." That's not to say Disney won't be releasing any of the ride music. My guess is that the song PJ Morton wrote for the finale will be released as a single.
