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.

Co-Op and Tiana's Bayou General merchandise store

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

They brought the stupid banner back, god.

The more I listen to the instrumentals in this song, the more excited I become. I just heard the bang of a cymbal which is presumably Ralphie on the drums. I think this one is going to deliver. Edit: I think I just heard Tiana and Naveen singing, as well. The instrumentals are stronger than the lyrics, so it's *very* hard to tell, but I'm truly loving what I'm hearing, even from over 100 feet away.

You guys are going to have to take my word for this one because it's impossible to get audio of, but PJ's song is playing in the finale again. It sounds very quick-paced and upbeat, perfect for a party scene. I hear a tambourine and trumpet playing, but can't hear any lyrics from the bridge out front. So close, yet so far.

I don’t understand the bolded. And I’m not sure we can really call this a princess ride when the only royal reference we know of is the tiara. Nothing else that’s been revealed about the ride suggests an overly young or “girly” experience, or one more aimed at children than Splash was.

Thorns or no thorns that is an issue - having a princess ride as a thrill ride isn’t ideal. It will be interesting to see how that goes.

OK, but that’s a separate issue from the claim that kids are being duped into going on a thrill ride they may not be able to take. Sure, we don’t know whether the narrative will work well, but we do know that potentially frightened individuals will have all the visual information they need to make an informed choice about the scariness of the drop.

It was cartoony - as were the vultures on the lift hill - but it was cartoon scary which matched the story and the rest of the attraction. Can’t fully judge until I’ve ridden it but there is a lack of story here I think. We just falling out of the salt mine and into the swamp?

Thanks for the clarification.

I really don’t think the old exterior looked as scary as some here maintain. The briar patch was distinctly cartoony and not, in my view, menacing. The most frightening thing was the drop itself, which still remains visible.

Although I’d prefer this banner wasn’t there either, personally I asked why the banner before the finale is outside. Not this one.

I wish they didn't cut the thorns/branches out from the blue sky art. Would've given something interesting to look at as riders vanish behind it. Maybe, heaven forbid, even add a sense of "Oh no we're going somewhere scary!" But I suppose we can't have the kiddos getting scared.
