Word salad.

I think that’s Louis’ derrière. I suppose it was to be an homage to Brer Bear’s rear end as Fox was pushing him through the hole to the Laughin Place. But alas…gator derrière.

I’m being more direct about it than those engaging in the sort of behaviour I’m referring to. It’s impossible to discuss properly without breaking forum rules, so I’ll leave it there.

Another thing: we are no longer in a flowing river through fields and woods. We are in a warehouse of screens. Ok, I'm done.

Management absolutely sucks. But modern Imagineering also absolutely sucks ... and it had plenty of money and resources to complete this attraction. I know where I'm placing the blame.

I have been for years… You do it in everyone. Want me to post it 300x from the box office thread last year?

As expected: The glazers glaze Those of us against it are against it The people in the middle are seeing this for the trash that this is Personally, my memories of the ride were when I was 15, then 21, then 24 in 2021. Despite the ride being in utter disrepair, it was still better then what Disney is proudly showing off, and even the magic of the old ride was conveyed over video. This is a dud. This is a shame. They destroyed art. It makes me even more sad, because PatF would make an insanely good dark ride addition to the parks. But no, can't say why they did it obviously, but now we can confirm that Imagineering is dead, and replaced by what are essentially advertisements for their IP. Splash WAS an ad for a soft banned film, and it was one of the best attractions ever created in theme park history.. That fact there proves the scale of what has been lost. We were right.

Asked 6 minutes ago in the YT comments, "Where is the Adventure in Tiana's Bayou Adventure"?

Perhaps you should actually read my posts first before assuming I haven’t seen or commented on the video.

Disney may have fooled me for awhile with the AA footage, but at least I know my concerns and predictions were pretty much on point throughout. I was worried the mountain would look less iconic. It does. I was worried modern imagineers wouldn't understand how to utilize music to score a musical attraction. They didn't. I was worried that the removal of Splash AA's would leave big empty moments and the new figures would lack character. Yup. I was worried about the dialogue and plot. MMMHMMM. I was worried that the lift hill and drop would be recontextualized. It was. I was worried that the recontextualization of the lift hill and drops would work against the storytelling in place in the ride design. It did. The only thing I didn't know about was the idea to end the attraction on an unknown original song and having it fade out so quickly to final nothing scene of Odie. I know it is much easier to armchair imagineer than actually doing it, but I wonder how much fault lies with modern Imagineering and how much lies with management not giving them the resources or freedom to design rides like they used to. I'm sure its a mix, but this feels like management told them to craft an original story, save money, and avoid all scary/problematic themes. And this was the best the modern imagineers could come up with those restrictions. Which is kind of baffling.

I armchaired a PatF dark ride on here back in 2017 where the plot was Dr Facilier turning guests into a frog, and Louis+Tiana helped you escape into the Bayou before Mama Odie turned you back to normal.

After news dump Like when coward Bob “retired” Never a new trick

Do you ever try any other tricks than to play the card? Watch the video. Sometimes non-living things cause their own grief just on the merits Anyone would be getting blowed up in this scenario…Tony Baxter, Bob gurr, John hench and Marty sklar would be

In political circles, "document dumps" are released mostly on Fridays but over the weekend to get the bad news out there when major media aren't reporting on it but those releasing the info can't be blamed for withholding info either. This is the WDW equivalent.
