It took 5 years to build the world's largest liminal space

[@SlushysSecret]

Technically 1 year because it was announced 4 years ago but only started destruction last year

[@RogueAgent17]

@@SlushysSecret Lol Disney announced it 4 years ago, and then started building it in 1 year. So 4 years of wasting time and one year of making a animatronic museum. So 5 years total. Stop defending a company who doesn’t know how to do anything right anymore

[@BlinkArmy4]

@@RogueAgent17They aren’t defending anything just correcting the information. 😂

[@SlushysSecret]

@@RogueAgent17 Those 4 years include the one year of making an animatronic museum lol, if you weren’t so focused on typing fast without even thinking about the correction you would’ve realized I wasn’t praising this company or the ride at all 😂

[@andrewtaylor940]

It makes sense when you realize there is a revolving door between Walt Disney Imagineering and the architecture and design firm Gensler. Which is noted for all these modern empty “liminal space” abominations. Just looking at nuEpcot you can see it comes from Gensler people. Famous for making everything look like an empty cafeteria. Without the charm, function, or food.

My mom jokes that the “ghosts of the briar patch” are haunting the ride. 😂😂 It’s sad that Disney spent so much time on this and it’s having such a rough start…. And I still think Tiana deserved her own new ride- not an overlay on an old one.

[@EverScrolls]

I love that. From now on my canon will be the ghosts of the briar patch are haunting Tiana's ride.

[@user-ds5cx1ky2v]

The reason why it’s closing so much right now is because even though there previews. It’s still in testing hopefully Disney will iron these malfunctions out. 🤞

[@FfStar]

​@@user-ds5cx1ky2vthey need to add wayyyyyy more animatronics to get back up to par with splash. There's better more advanced animatronics sure but they pale to the variation and lively atmosphere that the original had.

[@RealDeluxo]

lol. “The story doesn’t make any sense, the animatronics are broken.” 8.5/10??? HOW?

[@MACMAMI]

[@moovudu4822]

ive heard that while the story doesnt make sense, and some animatronics like to break the scene around the area is a lot better, while there is a lack of sheer animatronics the scenery is much better. Thats why a lot of people are rating this decently high despite its downfalls. (also splashs story wasnt really known till the controversy started so its not a huge point of contention)

[@MisterWealth]

Disney upped their prices and dropped their quality? I'm shocked.

[@thehpn1097]

[@hasenmyer]

the sad thing is you know that providing more shade in Epcot was discussed at one point and someone said..NO! Who is going to stand out there and bake except the vloggers

[@Furinastan]

I reccomend going during winter. i went during decemeber and it was only super cold during after hours.

[@ScoundrelGaming]

I was sick at Hollywood studios three years ago while waiting for slinky dog. Didn’t realize there was no shade. How they haven’t learned idk

[@bellaangel4422]

I am not rushing to WDW to see this failure. Disney does not deserve my money right now. Universal all the way!

[@dynamicmediacurations]

Disney has become a F*CKING joke. Ten years ago, I never thought I would ever say that.

[@RobCartwright]

They pushed out all the Imagineers who were supposed to be mentors to the younger generations. They're reaping what they sowed.

[@mark-789]

NEW NAME: "Tiana's Busted Bayou"

[@fishjones4618]

Pretty soon, all the animatronics will freeze and Disney will have to flood the ride with flashing lights to create the illusion of movement as they did with the Matterhorn and rename it “Tianna’s Disco Adventure”.

[@dorkultra]

I can't believe how much they budget cut Communicore Hall. Instead of having exhibits and artwork, you know - things that you want to explore and interact with, like the old Communicore, it looks like a hotel lobby

[@vectorwolf]

Even that's too generous. It looks like the snack area at a convention center home show. Apparently the food is equivalent too...

[@knottynumbers44]

Looks like an airport to me

[@greglbennett]

These videos I am seeing of the decline of Disney World are saving me tons of money. Haven't been to the parks in over a decade and I can't imagine ever going again. Did they ask a five year old, "What would you like to do at Disney World? "PLAY GIANT CONNECT FOUR!!!"

[@cassidystarchild7907]

Holy sh1t, right? 😆 Not just Connect 4, but YUGE Connect 4. The biggest Connect 4 anyone's ever seen.

[@hanonondricek411]

I don't remember them running logs so close together when it was Splash Mountain. At most you might see one log ahead, of you, never three in a block zone. I bet this is an attempt to increase capacity and it's not working well.

[@nickn271]

I hope they got the extended warranty.

[@belle2157]

Connect 4 and corn hole is what I expect at the pool deck at the resort not in the theme park.

How on earth is this ride already breaking down? What will it be like in 5 years?

[@Jemmyjammer]

Every time I see Peter I know there’s gonna be a hooterade reference at the end. 😂

[@ThemeParkPassion]

I’ve gotten to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure twice. I rode a few minutes before Drew the Theme Park Dude and I had similar malfunctions as the ones he had that were shown in this video. Louis was working on my ride through but every frog animatronic in the former Laughing Place was frozen. I rode again on Sunday because I wanted to get the full experience and not have a bunch of figures down. Right before my group got called it went down for 2 hours. When it came back up the line was crazy but it only took me like 15 minutes to get on the ride. I had a perfect ride through that time. I guess the best time to ride is right after it reopens after a breakdown because nothing has gotten the chance to break yet.

[@mvddic]

it's very disappointing to see a company with so much money do so little for their fans/customers. everything there looks cheap and overpriced. but hey, at least they have physical maps (even if the aren't fully updated lol).

[@sarahkelly6375]

The Encanto show looks like a Six Flags show!

[@RobCartwright]

As a former performer and entertainment director for Six Flags, you're spot on. We were given almost no budget for our shows and this looks about the level we were able to achieve.

[@ckyleu]

I rode on the 14th; Waited 20 minutes with no issues. They still have 10 days until official opening, so hopefully they can figure out any outstanding issues. I would also suspect part of a soft opening would be testing evacuations, and what not, though there are clearly issues with the ride currently.

[@Matt561]

How can you be a chef in Louisiana and be friends with the animals? What do they think goes in gumbo?

[@RobCartwright]

Universal has their own problems, but at least their creative appears to be trying. Disney is just phoning it in 90% of the time.

[@JoseLHernandezJ]

I think people are just blinded by their love for Disney and are to forgiving this ride is not a 8 out of 10, people complain about so much and to not lose their privilege they go and say its wonderful, thats why i don't trust most access Media.

[@guavajuice8873]

When we went for Tiana’s pass holder preview on 6/14, it was a quick walk on and the ride was smooth and fun. All the animatronics were working great and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I will say that we got lucky though. As soon as our log came back to the loading area, the ride broke down. We went for the 1 pm virtual queue as we couldn’t get a magic kingdom park reservation for that day, but I guess that was for the better. Booked Epcot instead and got to ride cosmic rewind in the morning and took the monorail to magic kingdom for tiana’s in the afternoon. Awesome day!

[@KRobinson-ko1ne]

Jesus Christ Someone actually fainted waiting in line I guess this is too much to hope for but they can’t have an enclosed que with AC?!

[@pcdave1783]

20:04 - you’re actually wrong and it’s shown on the blueprints for splash. For example the trap scene and the million dollar bunny both had sensors, heck even the “briar patch?” At the top of the lift hill was on a sensor. In most cases these effects on tianas have been suffering problems with the movement itself and I think it’s something to do with this new motor tech being slapped in figures without the due time taken to ensure they’re ready to perform

[@redpandaclips]

Im glad they didnt refurb spaceship earth they would've stuck ips in it

[@darrellborder8555]

My guess is the new electronics are more fine tuned and sensitive to power fluctuations. Maybe they didn’t want to upgrade the breaker panels/ banks / filters to smooth out the 3 phase and provide overall cleaner power to many moving parts of this ride.

[@gridley]

Today's Disney Co reflects the nature of its CEO: A greedy, dishonest, unscrupulous, politicized guy. It's not just one thing (Tiana or otherwise) that reflects that, it's almost everything.

[@ccmauck]

The other huge issue with all these breakdowns is that there are many others, like myself, who traveled 3,000+ miles on the assumption "Disney will have enough slots for all passholders to ride" (I mean, why else would they allow riding multiple days if they didn't assume there would be more than enough to go around), who never won an afternoon lottery because the morning breakdowns were nullfying the pool of reservations for the afternoon queue. You didn't even mention the one day (Tuesday) that all of us got messages on our phones around noon telling us there wouldn't even be a 1pm lottery. Never seen that before. So while the ride breakdowns themselves are a disappointment, I think the bigger story here is the general mismanagement that created this scenario where Disney is (again) breaking trust with their closest supporters. I was ready and willing to give the new ride a chance, but I (and many, many others, based on the sub-1-second times the afternoon queue disappeared) didn't even get that privilege, due to poor event planning on Disney's part.

[@LumeanTV]

Idk why people keep talking about it breaking down like it's some monumental thing. I remember how often Galaxy's Edge broke down several times on its debut iirc. Half the rides at Disneyland broke down on opening day. This isn't very surprising. I guess it's just been getting more and more common as they try and make more rides, or something.

[@mathewevans9706]

Was able to get on Tiana’s Bayou, but the queue for guests with disabilities is TERRIBLE! You literally feel like they’ve forgotten about you. Hoards of people passed by in the foot line and we sat outside for what seemed like forever. One concerned cast member took it upon himself to alert the ride attendants, and he personally set out make sure that we all FINALLY made it to the ride. We also were a bit disappointed in the sensor system, and the backstory was weak at best. Wish it followed the movie more. The colors were beautiful, and the added slide was fun. Don’t think I’ll wait that long again. I’m ok with a one and done on this one.
