@ I don't mean as in the ride but in media in general, like television etc, they could've given them a show back in the 80s or 90s or something, at least they made cameos in House of Mouse

[@A_A610]

@@hubertberrum6242 There was apparently a pitch for an animated show with them following the success of the ride (basically continuing where the ride leaves off), but it was not given approval due Disney changing its tune about publicly using Song of the South after the rides had opened (background cameos okay, front and center not so much).

[@isaiahbravo3308]

I’m disappointed they didn’t have a cameo of Dr. Facilier 😓 One of my favorite villains

[@Regina.6692]

It still feels like they rushed it, some spots still have a sort of emptiness to it. The music is so catchy though, and I do love Tiana's dress at the end. I have a soft spot for Charlotte so I wish her animatronic was given the same love as Tiana's, with the expressiveness of her face and movements. The outside parts are better than what's inside imo

[@A_A610]

They're relying too much on the brand recognition doing the heavy lifting, hoping people pay less attention to the lack of any actual story substance. Sure, the characters are present, but they don't do anything particularly interesting or compelling enough to warrant a ride (much less a thrill ride).

[@DanXmas]

all they had to do is add a Keith David section.. 😮‍💨

[@hubertberrum6242]

yeah like at the lift hill before the Splash like Br'er Fox

[@JacksonStokes-xo4fb]

Exactly

[@disneylandmusician7741]

I've done both versions of both rides numerous times (Splash 100+ times and Tiana's almost a dozen times), and can confirm Splash is better. The room with the frogs is lacking and the pre-drop is bad. Splash was designed for rerides, and Tiana's was designed to be a one and done. Splash is a solid 9.5/10 attraction, Tiana's is about 6.5/10. There's more thematic and story tension across at Winnie the Pooh, which is BAFFLING.

[@thewiz2003]

Same. While I do love the new animatronics, there are much less of them, and they are spaced quite far apart. I would much prefer many lower articulated animatronics then a few really fluid ones. Avatar Navi River Journey has the same problem as well. While it is definitely better than the Disney World edition it does not match the storytelling of the original. It is a fine ride. As you said before it is a “one and done.” It is not necessarily a bad thing, but at a park like Disneyland in California where so many of the guests are local, it will quickly grow stale.

[@GeriMars]

The outside of the attraction is more colorful but far less distinctive with its lower peak. However, compared to "Splash Mountain," the attraction's interior, story and music are ho-hum. Also, there is way too much empty space and an overuse of video screens. There was NOTHING wrong with "Splash." Disney Parks should've plussed it, not torn it out and scrapped it. I actually find "Tiana's Bayou Adventure" offensive with its reference to salt mines. There were no such references in "Splash," an attraction populated solely by animal characters. The Disney Corporation is adhering to its policy of offering less for more.

The animatronics and festival scene at the end is very nice but I feel like it would be better if it retold atleast some of the movie itself? the plot of the ride isn't very memorable and is hard to track. I feel that they could have incorporated Dr facilier and some of the actual nighttime swamp areas, rather than it being underground or something.

It's pretty and the animatronics are great. But the story kills this whole ride, the story is stale and bland. There's no beginning middle or end its all on side quest in a video game.
