Completely agree. This has been discussed before, but WDI needs to work on consistency and quality when it comes to its graphics department. Even on this project in the past few weeks we've had these banners and the signs on the barn that just look too modern alongside the Critter Co-Op sign which may be fantasy-based but more in-line with what you expect from a Disney theme park.

We need an opening date really badly. We can’t talk about cranes forever

Omg the plot whole of Tiana being able to talk to Louis is such a big obvious plot hole. I don’t think it distracting tho because most people wont think much of it

I can't imagine you'll be able to see some of the set elements, so you'll have to make some odd awkward head movement to see. Anyone know the word for that? 🤔

The issue, as ever in this thread, is people taking benign topics of conversation and ruining them for everyone else.

This thread is going "cray cray"

It can certainly be the kind of thing of leverage.

As a user who's been quietly observing this project and missed the last couple of pages in this thread. I thought it was acceptable to discuss about specific mechanics during an attraction's construction at least from older members of this site. Unless I'm confusing them with ladders.

I kinda like it. It's a harmless Walt quote that also fits Tiana welcoming people onto a ride that should — hopefully — bring happiness. I'll save final judgement until we get the full video ridethrough, but I'm feeling generally optimistic about Tiana's Bayou Adventure. There seems to be a lot of genuine positive energy from those involved in making it and the videos we've seen so far have been mostly impressive.

I’m picturing you hoisting and winching the members with some sort of basic yet functional mechanical device that applies the laws of physics. Of course, looked at another way, maybe you’re crying fowl.

Yes, you missed something.

I must have missed something. Aren't cranes part of the construction process? I'm confused as to why they would be banned. Although I haven't seen cranes in recent photos that Drew has been posting, it seems like they are much further along in construction.

Please stay on topic. And the next person who posts anything about cranes will be in time-out.

I see the "happy place" in the banner as a successor to the "laughing place." And yes I know the quote came from Walt, but the average park guest doesn't know that.
