Tiana's Bayou Adventure reaches new milestone as Disney Imagineers begin test rides

Mar 22, 2024 in "Tiana's Bayou Adventure"

Tiana's Bayou Adventure took a big step towards its summer opening today as Walt Disney Imagineers took the first rides on the new Magic Kingdom attraction.

DisneyDrewDude captured one of the first logs taking the 50ft plunge.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure will open in the summer of 2024, but Disney has yet to announce a precise date.

The earliest and most optimistic estimates place a soft opening around Memorial Day (late May), which may put an official opening sometime in July. The upcoming D23 Down in New Orleans event on March 23 provides Disney with one of two opportunities to announce an opening date; the other is the Annual Shareholders meeting on April 3.

This post won’t age well once the first ride through videos show us the lift hill ascent is a duet between Mama Odie and Steven Tyler at a rave.

The outside of TBA looks awesome. If the inside matches it then this is going to be one amazing ride.

A small section of wall has been removed to reveal a few props. It also appears a new sign, still wrapped, has been installed in front of the railroad station. Photos from today. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53729967365_081becd660_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53728668632_8b501cdb01_o.jpg [URL='https://flic.kr/p/2pRVTtH']https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53729920619_e8f85b05c2_o.jpg [URL='https://flic.kr/p/2pRU6dR']https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53729569901_bece2917fb_o.jpg [URL='https://flic.kr/p/2pRU6bb']https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53729569746_ecf33389cd_o.jpg [URL='https://flic.kr/p/2pRPddt']https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53728617867_2b1829621b_o.jpg

Discussing lighting is on topic. Posting about Steve Tyler, rave memes, etc. are not.

But lighting designs are within the scope of “details and construction” of the ride, no?? If OT means ‘off topic’, then this caution looks misplaced
