[@taylorserasera]

for me it is: Disney World: Splash Mountain Disneyland: Tiana's Bayou Adventure Tiana's ride fits with the themeing of New Orleans Square so incredibly well and the attraction looks INSANELY good in the Disneyland version. The length really did fix the ride for me! Also the visuals are so much better

[@z3v..]

i still call it splash mountain tbh, im js used to the name

[@taylorserasera]

@@z3v.. me too haha

[@ChunkychunHealy]

It’s not better. It’s just a cheap copy.

[@taylorserasera]

@@ChunkychunHealy that is fine if that is your opinion. i just prefer the disneyland version of this ride

[@Rtp4k]

Why Disneylands is better -the fast pacing has a purpose -the animatronics are more spread apart than just in one area -Tiana’s lines are actually better in this one -more colors -No dead silent scenes (although I don’t really mind because it is a bayou and it is realistic)

[@ItzAdrian02]

Funny how the face paced flume actually works in favor. Compared to splash where it was kinda why wdw splash was better.

[@RonanBunny]

Also, one of the reasons why it’s better is because it’s next to New Orleans Square, which as we all know, is the location of where Princess and the Frog takes place

[@z3v..]

ill give it to them on this one, and its great cus this is literally the disney park i go to

[@thewiz2003]

I cannot believe I am saying this, but, I think Disneyland's shorter run time has made this attraction so much better. The finale scene feels like you move through it slower while other scenes do not feel as spaced out since the animatronics are closer together and overall you are moving through the attraction faster. Also love the Tiana sitting on a log. Disneyland for the win. I am happy they made the necessary changes. While it may not be perfect I think this attraction brings more justice to Princess and the Frog than the Disney World version.

[@ttttttttttttttttttt22t2t]

Also the mist effective going up to the top drop is much more effective bc they blocked the light on the sides. They learned from a lot of mistakes

[@thewiz2003]

@@ttttttttttttttttttt22t2t Yep. I was going to mention that as well.

[@ItzAdrian02]

Yea, believe or not this version took an additional 2 more months to open compared WDWs, if it took the same time of construction as WDW it would've opened in September. Plus I'm sure disneyland was the blueprint for the ride then they poorly translates it to WDW

[@thewiz2003]

@@ItzAdrian02 Yah I am almost positive Disneyland was the one it was designed for. It also makes sense now why so many of the lines are so short by comparison. You are only next to them for around 10 seconds.

[@thewiz2003]

Also a major plus which not many are talking about is the entrance to the dark section. In Disney World, natural light just floods into the show building. Disneyland removed a huge amount of the light leakage by having a tunnel that divides the show building and the first drop. The cave opening is also slightly offset and small so when you turn you can not see back outside.

[@z3v..]

this reveal is what everyones been waiting for for months

[@RichardSmith-dl2dk]

Positives and negatives. Positives first: Disneyland looks better cause less dead space. That’s it Negatives: Must be a preview run cause green tarps are up and Juju animatronic is not working at the end scene. Now let’s be honest with ourselves. The story here is Frozen Ever After with a Princess and the Frog skin. You are invited to a celebration, scenes of characters being gathered for said celebration, finale is celebration. Mama Odie might as well say “Let it go!” when you do the drop! Real big missed opportunity for the Tiana Foods element to be used to teach the importance of food production and co-ops in underserved communities which is more of a re-imagining of “Living with the Land” which would serve the story

[@iangrimm]

Maybe I'm the only one but I prefer the Magic Kingdom version. The way it is spaced out lets you soak up the vibes and really appreciate the animatronics. I get that pacing doesn't work in a youtube video but it works well when you are actually on the ride (and when the ride works lol - yes I know). The "tiny" scenes, the turning tiny scene, exterior and queue are also better at Magic Kingdom IMO. We're just in an era when social media thinks everything at DLR is better (sometimes it is but not always).

[@LifeWithProHD]

This version is much better than the WDW version. it's quite obvious that the attraction was definitely made for Disneyland.

[@CaliforniaDreamin.]

Disneylands version (as many of us suspected) is FAR superior. I really like it a lot. Not as much as Splash, but way better than WDW!

[@williamthomas4242]

This is the better version of the two Tiana rides! I like how they slowed down the finale scene so you can actually see all the wonderful animatronics and scenery!!

[@ryankinseth5715]

The queue and outside is better at Walt Disney World but why do I feel like the ride at Disneyland is gonna have less downtimes if none at all.

[@McBoomFly]

I second what everyone is saying. This works at DL much better than WDW. The ride is so cute

[@Hyperyote]

I always say that most things that are in Disneyworld and Disneyland the default was "Disneyland is better" except when it came to Splash Mountain. Now Tiana's is visibly the better version is at Disneyland. The short time and the way the ride layout makes a better experience. They really need to go back and tweak Disneyworld version with more elements...

I would say it’s just a cheap copy of WDW's!

[@Isaac20-b6o]

I will say I like it a whole lot better here I still think that the storyline is not the strongest and I will forever wish they had Dr Faciler and Ma Belle Evangeline for the “laughing place” with the dancing water fountains, but this fixed the other issue of the dead space. Good Job Disney I will still always appreciate you guys even if I don’t always agree with what you’re doing. I still think that when it comes down to it I will go to Disney time and time again because of what it really means for me.

[@rcrramos8242]

The cameraman was not expecting the more fast paced nature of this ride. The camera kept moving left and right lol!

[@portalbrawler5440]

This actually looks surprisingly better than WDW's version of the ride. Most of the dark, empty space that was everywhere in Florida's version seems to have been fixed here, with the band being more spread out, and no long and winding path to see tiana say a few lines before going down to the laughing place.

[@libertysdaddy1514]

Everything is better at land for some reason

[@supporter6667]

@@libertysdaddy1514 It's a Smaller and More compact version. Helps the pacing a TON.

[@ItzAdrian02]

[@someguy4253]

Its better because its darker. Maybe if they turned off more lights at the WDW one we wouldn’t be able to tell how awful it is either lol.

[@Mochichu-w6b]

I know people love this one more but idk, I like both. I love the fast speed of DL and how it gets to the point, maybe a bit too fast at times. While I like the chill going down the byoue type vibe at Disney world. Maybe a bit to slow at times as well but I’m glad there different so you always have a different experience. The audio on this version is definitely better but the animalelectronics at world are better imo.

[@eraser2592]

This is the best version of it by far. Due to the semi claustrophobic spaces, it allows you to see more of the animatronics than just seeing dead space wasted like wdw. This looks perfect

[@lololagoon]

The fear in their voices before each splash 😂

[@SA12String]

I hope they're pumping in the smell of cooking beignets into that little kitchen. LOL. It was the same with Splash Mountain - as soon as you drop off the loading belt and start floating, you get a big fat bloop of water in your lap.

It’s still pretty lame. Also, I don’t understand why they changed the name to bayou country. Critter country made more sense given that the rides revolve around animals. Also juju and mama odie are the start of what’s probably going to be a series of broken animitronics.

[@thewiz2003]

Yah but unlike Florida the humidity is a bit more consistent in California. This means the mechanics will most likely not fail as often.

[@karebear3152]

I called this from a mile away. This fits PERFECT on the DLR version of the ride. The pacing is so much better than WDW's. There's too much empty space at WDW's. ALSO, I wonder if all the animatronics WORKING (other than Mama at the end there... seems she's got a case of lock jaw... is a fluke or if this will prove to be consistent.... you know, compared to our constantly BROKEN version in Florida.

[@themeparkcheetah]

Almost copy and paste from magic kingdom aside from some things being rearranged. Unlike splash mountain, there is no reason to experience both versions because they are exactly alike. “Pacing improvements” doesn’t make the ride any better. Sorry but it doesn’t hold a candle to splash mountain and I’ve ridden Tiana’s at mk more than I can count

[@Drebe73]

I really wish that the imagineers had told the story of the party and Tiana looking for a band in the queue. Tiana saying it in passing is too subtle in my opinion and doesn’t set up the story clearly enough.

Yah, I understand how it is definitely harder to understand the story. It is not really an excuse but Disneyland has more repeat visitation so the details are more appreciated and noticed overtime.

[@justinfriedrich5741]

To be honest, the Disneyland version is a little better but it just seems lackluster and with basically almost every scene is a party it kind of makes the party ending scene which is the theme song not really that special. Which is kind of ironic because the song is called special spice.

[@danielriccardo6592]

I feel like Disneyland being faster kinda hides the dead spots from disneyworld. It feels much faster paced and the scenes are more intimate. Did they just design this around Disneyland and copy n pasted to wdw?

[@thewiz2003]

I believe that is most likely what happened. The fog on the lift hill in Disneyland is also more visible as well.

[@Floridapanthers2020]

Just looking from the POV it looks soo much better. Not saying that the one here is not good because it is. Disneyland knocked out of the park. Worthy Replacement 100 percent

[@thewiz2003]

I have to agree with you, I think Disneylands Splash was in a definite need of an overhaul. The rides lighting was broken and the Disneyland version was falling into disrepair. That being said Disney World’s Splash just needed some major maintenance and then it would have been good.
