I mentioned this a while ago (over 100 pages back), do we have any indication what song plays in the Laughin Place yet?

The logs don’t look changed to me, but the soak factor is determined by the weight of the log and the angle of the ‘scoop’ on the front. If they wanted to lessen the splash, they would’ve needed to lighten the logs somehow as well as sharpen the angle of the scoop to ‘push’ the water away from riders rather than towards them. Nothing obvious visually seems to have been done, but who knows, they may have sanded the logs to adjust the scoop or found a way to internally lighten them.

Does anyone think they might have tried to adjust the shape of the ride vehicles to lessen the soaking factor? I know nothing about this (am not a water log engineer and never played one on TV). I know only that log rides in general seem to vary in amount of water that hits riders. I’m hoping to ride Tiana’s later this year, but my wife and kids avoid water rides because they don’t like feeling soggy.

Would love to see this footage... hoping this means the water becomes lit up like that concept art
