During this past weekend's Destination D23 event, Walt Disney Imagineering gave us a rare look inside the Audio-Animatronics Workshop as work continues on Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

 

In the video below, a large audio-animatronic version of Louis is being assembled before being installed inside the attraction.

Speaking at the event, Disney Parks Chairman Josh D'Amaro said, "These folks are doing amazing work. They're hard at work on all the figures that we're just packing into this attraction. It's going to be such a great experience experience, bringing you a new story from Tiana's world that picks off right where that classic film left off."

Tiana's Bayou Adventure will open in late 2024 at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom and Disneyland.

Only hint at what TBA's queue will look like right now is from the model of Disneyland's version at 22's D23. Actually now that I look at this, it seems to have the wooden rails that WDW had.

Isn't this the area already revealed in the TBA scale model? Signage, some magnolias and rockwork. Looks like rockwork base with garden picket fence queue.

I’m sure they want to avoid the strung rope disaster that was the previous Splash queue by the barn.

Please no Looks like they are going all out on this, they brought rocks to Florida. Real rocks not fiberglass, rocks are expensive to get to central Florida.....

I wonder, are they widening the queue so they can have an interactive one ala Haunted Mansion or Winnie the Pooh?
