Disney has shared a first look at a full-scale delivery truck installed overnight in the queue area at Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Walt Disney Imagineering said, "Adding themed elements like this one help transport guests into the attraction's story before they experience it! We want to give you a sneak peek of this truck today, to get you even more excited to see it in real life this summer."

Watch the video below for a look.

If true this means the only working cannons at WDW are in Pirates.

Send them this... Which only proves that the blue lighting is appropriate!!

I don't have a source from someone close to the project at all. It was something that was stated by some people on this forum who claimed it was valid.

But are the cannons there now? I don't remember who said they were taken out. The fence still being there doesn't actually mean the cannons are still there.

The cannons made the evac walkway wet, I believe. Granted, plenty of the other walkways are wet, too...since it's a water ride.

I thought the fence was put in for guest safety because of the lift hill machinery (obsolete since they put lap bars in).

If the water cannons were taken out then the wooden fence before the mill house would not still be there. It was put in due to the water cannons.

Someone said the water cannons were taken out during the retheme...does anyone know if that's true? @Drew the Disney Dude can you see them anywhere?

They turned down water effects during covid (probably to prevent masks from getting soaked), so this is definitely accurate.

I'm so excited for that moment when we all could ride it finally and talk about the 98% of it that we haven't seen yet!

Where did this idea come from? I interviewed Don Carson (one of the managing Imagineers on the WDW Splash project) back when the retheme was announced and all we had was the original concept art with the boat. He said: The "mountain" has "good bones" and I think it will support the changes they make. I've posted the full interview on here in some other thread, but I think he would have brought up the fact that the mountain couldn't support the boat if that were the case.

Completely agree.

For sure. PatF is a great property to base the re-theme off of - and I have done my best to judge the work on that metric. I've got my pros and cons based on what I've seen of the project. My biggest con as I've mentioned many times is the exclusion of Dr. Facilier because he was essential to the film, its best character, and working him into the theme could have been spectacular. Given that wasn't used, I'm left to judge things on the decision to exclude him. From that... Most of what I see, I like. The exterior (with the exception of some signage, mostly the vegetable chop fence) is very well done. Would have loved the boat element, but structural issued wouldn't allow it. The AA's as we have been shown are some of the best ever. I also love the very large emphasis on the "critters" as Splash was all about the animals. I'm certain some of the interior scenes and lighting are going to be quite beautiful, and far beyond anything Splash gave us. Ultimately, we'll see how it all comes together.
