First look at a finished show scene inside Tiana's Bayou Adventure

LittleBuford3 minutes ago

As I’ve said repeatedly, I have no idea what the ride will feature beyond the very sketchy details they’ve given us—hence “We don’t yet know”. What references do you want me to provide besides the fact that the ride has yet to be unveiled?

reference? Maybe. An allusion or element of the show within? You think likely?

We don’t yet know that they haven’t.

Didn't really seem like that, considering you quoted someone's post and bolded the part that most related to your own comment. That seemed to suggest pretty fairly that you were attempting to undercut their assessment rather than merely offering your own separate one. On top of that, I don't see anyone "pretending they don't criticize incomplete projects" - certainly not the poster you quoted. So that's the mischaracterization. The issue people take here isn't just that there's any amount of criticism of a work in progress. There's a decent amount of healthy critique in this thread that no one really has a problem with. The issue is, as has been stated many times, the outrageous amount of overzealous destructive criticism of elements that are not even yet known to us. While it can get a little tiresome when someone comments for the 20th time about how they don't like the look of the facade, it's at least understandable to be developing an opinion of what's visible. But those overextending their own imaginations and continuing their tirades about set pieces that haven't yet been revealed or story points that they merely assume must exist can't reasonably expect to be taken seriously. For literal years now there has been so much obsessive and ugly pre-emptive condemnation of choices that people simply imagine WDI is making for this ride, many of which have already been disproven by the continued construction. The outrage about the Green Fence that was obviously going to be hidden is a recent example (and a relatively benign one!). This thread has had to be so heavily moderated that at this point reading what remains doesn't paint a full picture of how contentious and nasty the timbre of it has often gotten, so if you haven't seen that in real time it can be hard to understand why people seem to get their hackles up so quickly. But for anyone who has been following closely throughout, @Disney Analyst 's comment about "years and years of constant pile ons" is unfortunately very apt. This pattern can be seen in discussion about this ride all across the internet - criticism of rides in development is not unique to Tiana's Bayou Adventure, but the level of aggressive, overt, and misplaced vitriol is absolutely unique, and pointedly consistent for a ride about a princess and her musical animal friends in a magical swamp. It is so painfully clear that the problem runs much deeper than people thinking the plastic flowers look cheap or that some of the paint choices seem odd. When we've reached the point of pathological fault-finding that loses touch with what's even actually happening it becomes unsurprising that people would feel the need to push back against posts that don't seem to correctly assess the content they're responding to.

I really like how this looks at night! We were at MK yesterday and we made a point of checking it out once the sun went down. Water was in the flume so I was hoping that they would start testing it but they never did.

They literally have a supernatural based villain that makes deals against death in a culture known for voodoo and ghost stories, and somehow missed all of that to not even give an element or references to shadows.

A month-or-so ago one of the dates we expected news on passed and I wasn't at my computer so I decided to check Twitter and see if there was anything on the project. Really put things on this board into context. Makes everyone feel much more reasonable and open-minded. But I wouldn't suggest anyone ever stick their head in that den of scum and villainy.

Facilier didn’t have to be tied to the Frog storyline to have a presence in TBA. He or his shadow and friends could have come back for any reason. Revenge sounds about right. They could have used story beats from PATF and re-introduce Facilier however they want. Think Finding Nemo. Probably a good template for what TBA should/ could have been (story wise) in how it’s essentially most of the story beats from the movie but not a book report. It didn’t have to be the exact same story. For example in TBA they are using most of the original songs for a completely different story. I didn’t list all the reasons why Mermaid fails. Mermaid does feel cheap because of bad execution. Ursula’s lair is probably the only scene that feels right. I fully agree on all of this. To be honest, Frozen's story doesn't lend itself super-well to a "book report" dark ride. Same goes for Monsters Inc. - the story's a bit too complicated, which is why I think Tokyo's going for a ride set after the movie was a wise move. Regarding the Facilier thing, they could easily just go "To heck with continuity" a la Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and have him just be in the ride with no explanation.

Can people please stop complaining about other people's opinions? It seems very unnecessary.

I was stating my own opinion on the matter. Now you may not with agree with me and that’s fine but my comment was based on my own observations. Now tell me how did I “mischaracterize” that poster’s complaint?

yensidtlaw196913 hours ago

Way to mischaracterize that poster's completely legitimate (and overly-earned) complaint.

Very random but there’s two circular designs embedded in the sidewalks at two spots in the queue - under the railroad and in front of the Main Entrance. They are ALWAYS covered with plywood in pictures. It’s probably so minor but I’m dying to know what it looks like

Why do some people on here feel the need to pretend that they don’t criticize incomplete projects?
