4 things about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure that surprised me 🐸

[@taoaki3287]

Well Ray died and it’s assumed the shadow man died too… so if you say it’s like a sequel, why would they be there?

[@Guide2WDW]

Yes, it makes total sense. It's just surprising for most people since they were such big parts of the movie, and theme park rides usually include all the biggest and most iconic parts of the property they're based on. I've gotten a ton of comments on other videos asking if Dr. Facilier and Ray would be in it. It wouldn't have been a huge stretch to imagine that the Shadow Man is back from the spirit realm somehow, but Disney made a creative choice to make the ride about something different. Not saying it's bad, just saying it's unexpected.

[@TheDisneyGeekette]

Yet Ray the firefly’s voice is clearly heard singing throughout the attraction…so confusing to say the least. 🤔 °o°

[@jasminejacinda8612]

Good point! You should legit email the dept that handles that! Imagineering maybe? I love when fans find little things like this and Disney adds it into the story or fixes whatever the issue is. 😊

The problem is that they weren’t replaced with anyone notable. Facilier could have been in the ride, maybe as a returning threat in a spirit form or something. He’s the most iconic character, so even if you had to fudge it, it’d be good to put him in. Ray could have had a cameo as a voice from the stars or in a refrain in a song as a nod. Anything more than nothing.

He is singing in the shrinking section (it plays going down the bayou) but it’s not addressed specifically.

This ride is kind of watered down in my opinion because there isn’t much going on. Splash Mountain had a lot going on and was more animated than Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. I was expecting more energy from the people voicing the characters not people who sounded tired and worn out but it makes more sense for the person who voiced Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) since it’s been a while since the movie came out. The thing about the band being the missing ingredient and random thrown in scenes [ahem] (frog scene) just felt weird and it’s way too distant from other rides. But other than my rant, I think it’s a really good ride that fits right into adventure land.

The Tiana remodel looks very good but I really liked how splash Mountain was before. I love the movie Song of the South and I don’t know how people find it racist. It’s not.

[@marvalez]

They’re missing a animatronics, a story, good musical transitions and overall the sense of a thrilling experience. There is lots of empty space in the new ride that they try to cover up with tress or by making that area dark. This makes the ride feel a bit boring as you see an animatronic up ahead but have to sit still and wait until it’s your turn to pass it. The story doesn’t make sense either. Apparently they are looking for a critter band to play at the party but the critter band can be seen and found at the very beginning of the ride. That leaves us as the riders kind of just floating around the swamp with no other purpose. The music also lacked good transitions. The placement of the music felt quite random and while I love the princess and the frog, the songs just didn’t seem to fit with what is supposed to be a “thrilling” ride. Overall, there’s no sense of danger to this ride like there used to be. I feel as if though the concept they came up with would have been a better fit in Fantasyland.

[@OfficialCourtesyCourtie]

Hey, I don't mean to be rude, and I'm aware that this is your opinion and not something your stating off as fact. But this is my opinion of your opinion: this ride is the sequel of one of the most popular Disney Princesses of all time for a multitude of reasons. So of course the two characters who DIED in the film wouldn't be in the sequel unless you like zombies next to a Disney princess... second along with Tia being one of the mosy popular Disney princesses of all time she also has the largest wardrobes, sporting over 8 dresses and outfits in the original film. Including 2 wedding dresses... why would she wear her wedding dress (that fancy green one is a wedding dress since she wore it at her wedding and she was wearing a vail to boot) twice? If course she wiuld have a couple new outfits for her very own ride. And Third, the princess in the frog film was one of the few disney princess movies that had music related to the time and location... why wouldn't they add their appreciation to the culture by adding a new song? Especially for the finally.

[@drawingdragon]

1. Just being a sequel doesn't automatically make it somehow giving her more deserved recognition. I'd rather have a beautiful and interesting dark ride going through noteworthy scenes of the film (like Ariel's Grotto, one of my favorite Disney rides of all time) than a sequel that gives us "more" but that "more" is just her standing around in a bayou in different scenes where nothing happens until suddenly there's a party the end. It isn't adding anything to her because it ISN'T anything. 2. Yep, the characters who died obviously wouldn't be present in a sequel. So... why make it a sequel and drop 2 of the iconic characters that provided scenes worth rendering into a 3d space? 2.5. Same with the dress. Practically, no, there's no reason for her to wear it again - but Disney princesses showing up in "her dress" is kind of one of the things Disney Princesses at Disney World are known for. Again, the problem disappears if we got a retelling of the actual film and a big finale scene of her and Naveen at their wedding (again, very similar to Ariel's Grotto) 3. His point was not that "a new song" was weird or somehow bad, it was that it was surprisingly placed at the end as a grand finale and favored over songs that were already iconic. He didn't say it was bad, just surprising, which it was. I don't care for the music in the film at all so I have no strong opinions on it either way, just playing devil's advocate

I was very upset since it was one of the things that helped me over my fear of heights when I was little and I wished instead since they were gonna do it anyways that it would have been the part of Yzma's lair in the emperor's new groove still sad about the change though

Same here. There’s nothing any one can do anymore. The cast members gleefully destroyed most if not all the splash mountain creatures. 😢 Everyone saying Toyko still has it but it isn’t 100% the same. They destroyed Splash Mountain. Hopefully big thunder isn’t next on their list. Who knows anymore.

I lost my first theme park AND my home park (2 different parks). I wish my biggest disappointment was a retheme.

Oh get over it

The most surprising thing about the ride is how cheap it looks and how the imagineers sermed to not have a clue!

I just realized even the animated parts are 3D, which I don’t get because the movie was in 2D, is Disney allergic to make anything big 2D?

Shadow Man is dead as well as the fire fly. It makes sense.
