Here is the latest look at the progress on the former Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom as it is transformed into Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

Scaffolding is in position throughout the mountain for crews to access different areas of the structure.

As we have seen at the bottom of the main drop, sections of the mountain's rockwork are marked off, likely to be cut into.

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.
