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.

Um, OK? Am I missing why that would be significant?

That’s cool we are getting a soundtrack release

Please remember that this is a thread about TBA construction and updates - not a Splash discussion.

The headline is the only part mentions ride feature. I guess we'll soon see!

This has long been a concern of mine as well. The rural farm motif of Splash was vibrant and with scenes throughout. I just hope they deliver the same detail and care with this version and not use "the darkness of the bayou" as justification for sparse nothingness. To add, I found the image showcasing the various frogs in their swampy surrounding to be very prosaic and visually uninteresting. But perhaps it was only a staged image to show off the Wayfair garden statues and not really indicative of anything except to show their continued construction progress. I've no doubt the songs will be lively and fun. I just hope the rest can match that energy.
