Disney has just shared a first look at two new retail locations coming to Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.




Critter Co-Op takes over the former Briar Patch, and Tiana's Bayou General is located at the exit from the ride.

Both new stores will open alongside Tiana's Bayou Adventure this summer, although an exact date is not yet available.

But lighting designs are within the scope of “details and construction” of the ride, no?? If OT means ‘off topic’, then this caution looks misplaced

Things are getting a little OT again.

I'm starting to think the drop won't be obscured as initially thought and instead the mist will be used to diffuse the lighting to create an effect similar to those of moonflower lighting or God rays. Only it'd be facing the riders up the ascent to create a "magical" light tunnel.

the lights with the bottles look like they are just running through their test sequence... doing full spectrum... I am hoping the bottle end up being individually lit indifferent colors... cuz yeah, full spectrum colored lighting is so-o 2010...

Another new video for you guys from last night! Not sure who was on it but they were testing with people and mist sound effects too.

I'm happy to report that this did make the final cut, but is not working correctly at the moment. The entire waterfall/50-foot drop light up as well, which is a bonus from what I was expecting. It's currently not timed correctly, but I'll be sure to post a video as soon as it is. My eyes lit up seeing it and I am very happy it made the final plan.

Maybe they ran out of money towards the end and went to Spencer’s Gifts and Five Below for the lighting effects.

My first critique of this retheme: I really don't like the glowing bottles at night. What makes Mama Odie's bottles so special is the rainbow cast from them all glowing different colors. The bottles all glowing the same color and cycling feels like 2010s bedroom lighting technology. I think each bottle glowing its own color, even if they all changed, would have looked much more impressive. That being said, I'm reserving the right to change my mind when I see it in person for myself in July.

Also from Drew. Color changing lights on the bottles has been turned on. Also looks like the mist effect has been scaled back from early tests.

You guys are assuming a lot.

You forgot the maintenance fees in that calculation.
