Today, we have the latest look at the construction progress for Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Three large tree trunks have arrived this week, taking up position on the right side of the mountain. There are connectors throughout the trunks to attach branches.

Scaffolding has been removed in some areas, giving a clearer look at the new greenery and paintwork.

At the main entrance, work is underway on new walkways and a small elevated structure. We also get a clear view of the new Malaika Favorite mural.

Magic Kiingdom's Tiana's Bayou Adventure was said initially by Disney to open in late 2024, but recent wording from Disney has dropped the "late." There may be hope for a slightly earlier-than-anticipated opening.

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

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.

ATTENTION! - FIFTY FOOT PLUNGE AHEAD! Tiana's Bayou Adventure is a turbulent flume adventure with high speeds, heights, and sudden drops and stops! BOARDING INSTRUCTIONS: Pull down on lap bar Stow items • Remain Seated! YOU MAY GET WET! YOU MAY EXIT HERE

I do and it’s similar to here. People either being ecstatic about it or saying this ride sucks and no one asked for it.

I don’t follow FB or other forums on other sites, but I don’t see what you’re describing here.

Which would be a shame after so many years of development and construction. And also because this will be the only "new" ride at WDW for a while...

I figured we would’ve moved on to the dates not aligning with peoples vacation schedules…

I'm just gauging what I see as a whole. 60% of comments I see about TBA seem to be very celebratory. Here it is a bit more even and nuanced than on social media.

This characterisation bears no resemblance whatsoever to the dynamics of the present thread.

These forums, other forums on other sites, Facebook groups and posts. Almost anytime new information is released, it explodes all over my algorithm and the comments and posts are all pretty enthusiastic and treating the ride as the second coming.

All this argument over a Warning sign (yes, I know it's now devolved into arguments over every aspect of the ride, and arguments about arguments about the ride), which is meant to be informative, not a piece of theming. The purpose is to explain to potential riders what physical conditions they will be exposed to on the ride. Every attraction at a major theme park has such a sign. They can be themed a little bit, but the point is to stand-out so that potential riders who may not be able to handle a giant drop can be warned, and Disney can protect themselves if those guests still choose to ride. (And yes, the giant visible drop should be give-away enough, but theme park guests can often be dumb and get in a queue without even realizing what ride they're boarding). As the POTC example showed, these signs always stand out and aren't meant to look like a natural extension of theming.
