First logs take the plunge at Tiana's Bayou Adventure as ride system testing begins at Walt Disney World

TraumaLess than a minute ago

The negativity is really starting to grow on social and every single YouTube ride thru posted. Disney is getting taken to the woodshed by its fan base and they deserve it. I’m hoping this blowback will be a wake up call but at this point who am I kidding. They don’t want the hardcore fans to stick around. Some bean counter must have figured out that we don’t spend as much per minute or something. This ride is a giant middle finger to the Disney Park fans.

The ride is full of shoehorned in modern terms and phrases that you’d hear in Corporate board room or marketing team or HR meeting. Nothing even remotely authentic.

That's exactly the one that I was going to point out as really bad.

Perhaps the central flyer, but the rest? What about the “Free Cooking Classes” ad?

I’ve rekindled my participation in Disney forums recently after several years. This is NOT a hyper positive Disney forum. This place is full of Disney downers. At least it’s entertaining though. I go to a different forum if I want positivity.

That may be, but if I'm not mistaken, they are trying to transport you back to New Orleans in the 20s, not take you into the film. Therefore, the graphics should be reflective of how flyers would look back then.

I dont understand this either, why is that not a fun zippy instrumental specifically designed for the ride through that area...they just slapped the film soundtrack song through there and called it a day.

But they are in keeping with the stylings of the film. That seems like a reasonable choice:

I saw an animatronic in the Laughin Place that we hadn't seen before. Now we're up to 45!!

Not a lot of red Sharpie pens in 1923?

I think that yes, some folks were always going to dislike the change. That's what you're up against when you decide to change one of the most incredible and popular theme park attractions ever created. For Disney, the stakes could not have been higher-- and I think not fully appreciating this was their first mistake. But look back on these boards and elsewhere, and a lot of folks, even many who expressed dislike over the initial decision, transitioned into the "let's wait and see" camp. Let's be fair and give Disney the benefit of the doubt. Disney then acknowledged the stakes were high and began to tout how incredible the new ride would be, releasing teasers of animatronics and storylines and even admitting Bob Iger wanted improvements and that improvements were being made. Their message: "We understand. Don't worry. We hear you. We've got this." Perhaps they set expectations too high; perhaps (as many folks have been arguing) they are simply completely out of touch. The issue is larger than the ride itself at this point. Disney has been responsible for a growing number of recent and massive missteps. Starcruiser, Harmonious, EPCOT's transformation, a lifeless and sterile Star Wars land, disrespecting sight lines, instituting a firm caste system in the form of Genie+, longer lines, higher prices, endless upcharges, confusing apps, needless complications, questionable ride reliability, countless examples of poor show and shoddy maintenance, only one waterpark open at a time, destroying highly themed resort environments by supplanting or replacing incredibly themed architecture with bland and generic construction, a botched tile job in Morocco, a DJ in the train station at the MK... the list goes on. So with TBA, the stakes could not have been higher and the consensus is mixed at best. To respond by simply calling a thread "miserable" tracks with the growing effort on these boards to dismiss negativity as whining, or hyperbole, or expressing a lack of imagination. Read the criticisms in this thread. Yep, some are driven by an agenda, but the *vast* majority are basing their opinions on solid criticism and have expressed those criticisms in specific and constructive terms. A miserable thread is what you get when the stakes are unbelievably high and you manage to overpromise and underdeliver. It's not just TBA. A lot of folks, lifetime fans and paying customers who invested financially and emotionally in a brand that charges a lot but promises even more... have reached the end of their patience. And it shows.

I like it more after seeing an unedited POV.

Over the last few years Disney’s pushed more than a few subpar projects direct to streaming.
