Disneyland’s Latest Milestone: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Without Water!
Greetings, Disney enthusiasts! The transformation of Disneyland’s iconic Splash Mountain into Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is progressing impressively, making waves across the park community.
Earlier this year, Walt Disney World debuted Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, inviting guests to join Princess Tiana in a thrilling bayou celebration filled with vibrant characters from the beloved 2009 animated film, *The Princess and the Frog*. With its heart-pounding 50-foot drop, this ride ensures a splash-tastic experience, quite literally! Now, fans eagerly await Disneyland Resort’s version in Anaheim, California.
Recently, an eye-popping preview showcased log tests on the final hill of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure—but with a twist! The ride was operating sans water. Social media buzzed with fans reacting to the dry test runs, with some excited and others feeling rather… squeaky. As @ParkWizar1 exclaimed on Twitter, “AHHH ITS HAPPENING IM SO EXCITED!!” While Kev Kage humorously noted, “Watching them go down dry makes me so uncomfortable haha.”
TikTok also joined the conversation. User @disneyscoopsguy shared footage, sparking comments like WhoTang’s, “Isn’t there supposed to be water running down the drop?” and disneymama’s, “I know it doesn’t affect the ride but I would be scared to go down the waterfall without any water.”
The decision to reimagine Splash Mountain stemmed from its controversial inspiration—the 1946 film *Song of the South*. By embracing Princess Tiana’s story, Disney ensures a more inclusive and uplifting experience for guests.
Mark your calendars! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is set to open on November 15, 2024. What are your thoughts on this transformation? Do you think the dry run adds a unique twist, or are you longing for the water-filled excitement? Share your opinions in the comments and let’s keep the discussion flowing!
