It makes sense when you realize there is a revolving door between Walt Disney Imagineering and the architecture and design firm Gensler. Which is noted for all these modern empty “liminal space” abominations. Just looking at nuEpcot you can see it comes from Gensler people. Famous for making everything look like an empty cafeteria. Without the charm, function, or food.

Despite what Disney tries to brainwash people into believing (and, sadly, has done so successfully to far too many people), they do not care about minorities. Why do you think they'd rather race swap (which is insulting to both parties, as it's not just saying the character wasn't good enough as they originally were and those of us who saw ourselves in the original iteration don't deserve to keep that character, but also the minority they get turned into doesn't deserve original characters/stories or adaptations of their preexisting stories) than create original characters? They care about saving/making as much money as possible, not about the people they pretend to care about.

Disney has become a F*CKING joke. Ten years ago, I never thought I would ever say that.

I’ve gotten to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure twice. I rode a few minutes before Drew the Theme Park Dude and I had similar malfunctions as the ones he had that were shown in this video. Louis was working on my ride through but every frog animatronic in the former Laughing Place was frozen. I rode again on Sunday because I wanted to get the full experience and not have a bunch of figures down. Right before my group got called it went down for 2 hours. When it came back up the line was crazy but it only took me like 15 minutes to get on the ride. I had a perfect ride through that time. I guess the best time to ride is right after it reopens after a breakdown because nothing has gotten the chance to break yet.

I still say the ride should have just followed the plot of the movie It would fit just fine with this ride especially with the drop

Another theme park youtuber ride the front tow of the log on Tianas bayou. As they were going up the lift to the big drop the people in the log in front of them was singing "are you ready!" Disney failed and they know it

I rode on the 14th; Waited 20 minutes with no issues. They still have 10 days until official opening, so hopefully they can figure out any outstanding issues. I would also suspect part of a soft opening would be testing evacuations, and what not, though there are clearly issues with the ride currently.

When we went for Tiana’s pass holder preview on 6/14, it was a quick walk on and the ride was smooth and fun. All the animatronics were working great and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I will say that we got lucky though. As soon as our log came back to the loading area, the ride broke down. We went for the 1 pm virtual queue as we couldn’t get a magic kingdom park reservation for that day, but I guess that was for the better. Booked Epcot instead and got to ride cosmic rewind in the morning and took the monorail to magic kingdom for tiana’s in the afternoon. Awesome day!

20:04 - you’re actually wrong and it’s shown on the blueprints for splash. For example the trap scene and the million dollar bunny both had sensors, heck even the “briar patch?” At the top of the lift hill was on a sensor. In most cases these effects on tianas have been suffering problems with the movement itself and I think it’s something to do with this new motor tech being slapped in figures without the due time taken to ensure they’re ready to perform

1:28 Oh trust me, they purposefully design it like that to get you hot enough to want to buy drinks from the park.

My guess is the new electronics are more fine tuned and sensitive to power fluctuations. Maybe they didn’t want to upgrade the breaker panels/ banks / filters to smooth out the 3 phase and provide overall cleaner power to many moving parts of this ride.

“I understand why they got rid of it” I do as well but it’s all BS and never should’ve been changed. Want to give Tiana her own ride? Fine, don’t replace a ride that was immensely popular to do it….

The lift to the drop being boring is such a failure of the ride i think, that and the fact every bit of dialogue is "they can play" makes the entire retheming boring as hell... but of course its still splash mountain so the actual log flume part will never be bad

“Tianas foods values your safety- only three people have passed out!” -a normal day in Orlando

Nothing screams Epcot like Cornhole. "Everyone gather around the Cornhole for a photo!" Innovation!! Also I know the animatronics dont have a free mode..theyre on sequencers...on an old log ride...so the boats roaming on water and pace has SOOO much to do with this. They shouldve kept loops and sensors.

When all else fails, bring a camping chair 🪑 right Kevin?

When we rode it in the afternoon on Father’s Day, we managed to get through the whole ride without anything noticeable going wrong. Today (6/20) we tried again, and the ride got shut down while we were in the line after our group was called. We have a pass to come back later today if we want assuming they are able to open up again.

Idk why people keep talking about it breaking down like it's some monumental thing. I remember how often Galaxy's Edge broke down several times on its debut iirc. Half the rides at Disneyland broke down on opening day. This isn't very surprising. I guess it's just been getting more and more common as they try and make more rides, or something.

I give it a 5 out of 10. The animatronics of Tiana and the fat crocodile are really impressive, they move so lifelike (okay, you can see the robot underneath but that's a matter of making the sleeve a bit longer, and they shouldn't malfunction of course, but these are glitches that should be easily fixable) but then the animal band is made up of very simplistic animatronics that just wiggle back and forth, that's a big contrast. The biggest issue I have is the tv-screens: that is not how characters in a darkride should be presented: background maybe, but not foreground characters, that is so lazy. In a darkride you should be seeing animatronics, something that really exists.

What a shit show.

Today's Disney Co reflects the nature of its CEO: A greedy, dishonest, unscrupulous, politicized guy. It's not just one thing (Tiana or otherwise) that reflects that, it's almost everything.

I was just at Disney and the Taina ride was down for a while. I was also disappointed that the floor lights in Epcot where not working. But the Guardians ride is the best ride I have ever been on. Even better than rise and I'm a Star Wars fan.

The other huge issue with all these breakdowns is that there are many others, like myself, who traveled 3,000+ miles on the assumption "Disney will have enough slots for all passholders to ride" (I mean, why else would they allow riding multiple days if they didn't assume there would be more than enough to go around), who never won an afternoon lottery because the morning breakdowns were nullfying the pool of reservations for the afternoon queue. You didn't even mention the one day (Tuesday) that all of us got messages on our phones around noon telling us there wouldn't even be a 1pm lottery. Never seen that before. So while the ride breakdowns themselves are a disappointment, I think the bigger story here is the general mismanagement that created this scenario where Disney is (again) breaking trust with their closest supporters. I was ready and willing to give the new ride a chance, but I (and many, many others, based on the sub-1-second times the afternoon queue disappeared) didn't even get that privilege, due to poor event planning on Disney's part.

I did the CM preview. We waited 4 hours after our timeslot passed because the ride wasn't working. When the ride finally started working again, they announced that everyone with 11am-12pm slots would have to come back another day. The ride was working just fine too at that point

If you're talking about the EPCOT map, that would be Figment, a character original to the park (more specifically from Journey into Imagination). He has a dedicated cult following owing largely to nostalgia for the original (best) version of the ride that closed in 1998. It's subsequently redone since then (one time to strip the original theming, another to shoehorn Figment back in after the previous version was panned as one of Disney's all-time worst), but Disney has increasingly capitalized on the niche appeal of the character as more of EPCOT's quasi-official mascot.

I think the problem with Tiana’s bayou adventure is Disney was so ambitious with this project to the point where they did not comprehend that hey maybe these animatronics are a little too advanced and they’re gonna break down a shit ton and plus that it’s a water ride and their screens everywhere and that ride doesn’t match up with what’s happening with the animatronics and the screens I think this project was just so rushed and so underdeveloped to the point where it’s like OK I understand why people are mad. That’s splash mountains gone because we shouldn’t be waiting 3+ hours for a ride that’s just gonna break down and we’re gonna get evacuated it’s not worth the time but I think it’s still looks great. It’s a great idea. I love the addition of Tiana, but there’s so many cons not a lot of pros

what sucks is all this heat is going probably still gonna be here during the fall which means hhn lines will be dreadful 😭
