WILL IT WORK? Tianas Bayou Adventure THE DISNEYLAND REVIEW
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- I went to Disney World to review Tianas Bayou Adventure For Disneyland. My reviews covers my main three concerns: how is the design, will it work at Disneyland and is it better than Splash Mountain.
If you didn't know of the "controversies" surrounding the IP Splash was based on, you would've never thought there was an issue. It was about Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Bear and the dislike two had for Brer Rabbit.
To interject that the idea that any race would be offended with Splash is way off base. The ride was entertaining, and I presume Tiana's will also be very entertaining.
Outside of that thought, your videos are very entertaining and a joy to watch.
And this one is actually based in a salt mine in Louisiana that used slave labor. This all filled the need of a much needed refurbishment, getting Tiana in the parks, and they chose to virtue signal with this whole transition.
Even if you ignore the racial stereotypes of the characters, you unfortunately can’t separate characters from source material. It doesn’t work that way.
How exactly did splash mountain insult people?
And how does TBA celebrate everyone?
Great review. Thanks for your time & honesty.
It looks good, but sad to see a classic replaced. 😢
The ride is loosely based on the characters and not on the movie, but you can benefit from viewing the movie. Nonetheless, the attraction story is so thin that it doesn’t even hold up in the entire ride that lasts quite long for a dark ride. Tiana is getting an animal band for the restaurant in 2 scenes in the middle with finale in the last scene is so wasted. And it didn’t even feature the villain, the best thing, Naveen is in the background in the finale. Demoted. So that’s what Disney has done to Splash Mountain.
touch grass and/or die mad?
I really appreciate your review from a design perspective. Your review is one more that is getting me excited for when Disneyland's Tiana ride opens! Thank you for taking the time for this review.
To add, I watched the Disney video they put out. My biggest complaint is I wish I could ride the Disneyland now, it looked that amazing. My second was, the final scene is too short. It really does look and sound amazing.
I won't be riding until Disneyland, but I get the strong impression that Tianna's isn't quite of the quality that will get Splash Mountain super fans to forgive the loss, which is a shame. I'm older than Splash Mountain, so I don't have that childhood nostalgia for it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to love Tianna's. Still, we have to be kind to people who truly loved Splash Mountain as it was, as they did lose something special to them.
Yep
@@user-ty6yl1hx1fYa I’ve been seeing such negative comments towards people who are excited for this ride and it’s very concerning! Majority of Splash Mountain fans are adults so to hear that negativity is appalling! This is a children’s theme park, that type of attitude isn’t pleasing to see. I am personally excited for this ride, and they all have to realize that attraction will eventually change and that’s just how it is.
@@user-ty6yl1hx1fexactly,Splash was the big thing at Gradnite at Disneyland and I absolutely loved it, but a change isn’t going to make or break my love for Disney. That’s the whole point of Disney 🤷🏽🤷🏽 to love and respect each and everyone which we all need
You mentioned being from the south, and having had “problems” with Splash. What’s your opinion on the salt mines in Tiana . Are you aware of salt mining history in Louisiana?
Didn't you hear my review on "Salt Of The South"
@@HeyBrickey No, I didn’t see it I’ll check it out tho. One thing I’ll add is that Splash Mountain wasn’t advertised to ONE specific race, or ppl . It was for everyone . I notice you say this ride isn’t made for you …pardon, but why? and what are you getting at ? ? It’s a water ride, it’s made for everyone..especially when it’s hot . Your remarks seem curiously agenda leaning/ driven .
Looking for the Salt of the South review but I am not able to find it.
@@yancyturner565 yes I heard that too. Being empathetic is one thing, but speaking about someone's cultural/gendered pov- experience is both arrogant, and nonsensical.
@@yancyturner565it was about a “rabbit” running away from a plantation… to find that his happy place was always at the plantation
Brickey, thank you so much, I LOVED your review and this video. One of my faves of yours so far. You almost made me cry. I have been going to Disneyland since a young child early 60's and there has been so much change. I also love New Orleans. This is going to send more joy to the park I believe. So happy for you making the trip, and then sharing with us. Made my day. Have a wonderful time there and safe travels.
Thanks for this breakdown. It was truly enjoyable and for someone who probably won't make it out to Disney World anytime soon, it was really fun to get a preview of what Disneyland's version might look like. Love that conversation. Thanks for taking the plunge. 😉💦
It's always good to hear different opinions and viewpoints, and I'm impressed that Brickey traveled all the way to the East Coast to bring us his. 😊 While the version at the Magic Kingdom is mostly a missed opportunity, I share Brickey's enthusiasm to see what they can pull off at Disneyland.
Thanks bud ❤️
Hello 👋 David here, I have been a Disneyland fan and collector for over fifty years and I have watched many of your videos and have injoyed them. I was quite surprised when you said that your not a Disney movie fan and don’t see the movies. I have always thought that that was the whole point of Disneyland was to experience the movies. If you don’t see the movies then it’s just a ride with characters you’re not familiar with going by you. Imagine seeing Mickey Mouse in the park for the first time and not seen one of his movies. It just wouldn’t be the same. Keep up the great work, Have a magical day! 😊
There is a difference between a movie being problematic and a ride being problematic. Splash didn’t have any of the problematic elements the movie did. By your logic Peter Pan and Dumbo have to go or better yet Tiana’s ride shouldn’t have been made because there’s an evil voodoo witch doctor and that’s apparently problematic too. Everyone was included in Disney World before and would have been just as included if they built a Tiana ride somewhere else in the park. Disneyland could have had this and Disney World should have gotten a brand New New Orleans Square in the beyond Big Thunder expansion.
Brickey, YOUR REVIEW WAS SPOT ON!! I am not black and I am not from the south either and I feel the same as you. Everyone should feel welcome. Please say your review with hard conviction, BECAUSE YOU ARE 100 PERCENT RIGHT. THANK YOU. Thank you, thank you
Great video brickey! I personally don’t think that splash mountain was offensive, and I am still sad seeing it go. But I’m glad you enjoyed tiana’s!
Oop!! u said the animatronics aren't even as articulated as what they showed in their video..... then what is the point of them harping on and relying on that so much if they actually don't work? like wasn't that their whole draw for the ride? 🤣
You're so sadly mistaken and misinformed on Splash Mountain. It didn't disparage anyone, it had nothing to do with slavery. Song of the South took place POST Civil War. There were no "Happy slaves". This ride has more roots in slavery, being based off of Slavery Island, I mean Avery Island. Perpetuating these lies about Splash Mountain topped with the shilling of this garbage attraction with this nonsensical story are the reasons I'm unfollowing. I thought you were a cool and genuine dude.
Wait giving my honest opinion doesn’t make me genuine??? LOL
Seriously stoked you unsubscribed. I don’t have time for stupid people.
Brickey was a douche to you. Didn’t even address the points you brought up, just insulted you. I like how he said he didn’t mind if you unsubscribed, yet begs for subscriptions halfway through every video.
Not sure when you got to do your preview, but it would have been awesome to meet you. We went on the 20th, the last day for AP previews. We got a little wet and loved it. Good thoughts and perspectives. We've never been to Disneyland, so we have no idea about the fit there. I'm glad you enjoyed it and took one for the team by getting soaked.
Your review is the by far the most well balanced review I’ve seen on RUclips.
Your videos never fail to knock it out the park!
These boys can play…. , these boys can play…. These boys can play… These boys can play… These boys can play…. These boys can play . Ok ok I get it
Can They?
How were the Br'er critters insulting to you?
Brickey, I have a keen interest in getting as much criticism of TBA as possible as my daughter is the Imagineer that designed Mama Ode and each Tianna. Sadly, the Orlando RUclips vloggers have taken a VERY NEGATIVE position on the ride and your take was the 1st POSITIVE take I have seen. WDW Pro has cast such a dark cloud and it was so nice to see the Sun Shine from your take! Good Job and Keep It Up!
I love the all the bayou greenery, and it's perfect for the transition from New Orleans Square to whatever happens to critter country.
Love your comments on representation. I've found that people that argue against it are ones that have always been represented. 🤷🏻♂️
1000% if you have always been represented it’s hard to see the other perspective.
Recently found you and have enjoyed your content. After this fair minded balanced review IM A FAN FOR LIFE!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Appreciate that Chad. But friend for life, no fans, just friends ❤️
Is there a story point where there is a sense of fear? Super important and curious if there is suspense.
No that’s what’s missing.
Nevermind! You definitely touched on this
Thanks for checking this out for those of us on the west coast. Kudos for thinking outside the box.
Wonderful review. I will be there tomorrow.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you Brickey I am looking forward to being back in World.
@@HeyBrickey thank you!
As a big fan of the original splash , this ride has a lot to make me like it. That being said, I appreciate your honest review and I can tell that'd how you really felt !
I really want to ride this but I’ve never been a fan of thrill rides or just getting wet. I get motion sickness easily and hate heights 😂 I wish this was a flat ride, I would go on it multiple times.
Love your work Brickey but I respectfully don't agree with you on this one brother. I'll never get over the replacement of Splash Mountain with this boring reskin. To be fair, I think that "Spice" song was mildy catchy but absolutely no comparison to Zipedy doo dah that was a cornerstone of the nostalgic park VIBE I loved. I rate Tianas Bayou Adventure a solid F and only confirms my view that Disney just cant get anything right any more. #NotMyDisney
Thanks for the awesome review Brickey! Very well balanced and honest. Tiana's Bayou Adventure has HUGE shoes to fill (and not just with water). Can't wait for it to open in Anaheim! Maybe I will see you there.
I really enjoyed your assessment. Honestly you are the only one I trust to give a sincere review. Thank you for being honest with your audience. Because of you I will give the ride a fair chance.
Thank you for reviewing this new attraction and sharing your thoughts on how it would fit in at Disneyland. I am looking forward to experiencing it first hand once it opens on the west coast.
Love this unique take as a Parks and Disneyland fan… exactly the kind of perspective I love to hear.
I can see there are a few areas to improve and would have loved to see a few more hand painted signs (or on the car) like what would have existed in the time setting.
A fair and fun review, appreciate you taking the dive.
I have been going to disney since I was a baby, I love and enjoy it. It was and is an escape from real life. I never saw splash as a problem, never saw the movie. I hate disney is pushing real life. I will have to escape to universal now and Tokyo Disney, they still have the magic.
I don’t think you could’ve said it any better Brickey! Totally agree with your views and opinions of the attraction. I believe that Disney Imagineering will plus the ride with the years to come and address any areas where the transitions may seem a bit lacking. The first few experiences from the guest will always seem problematic because of it being a version to compare to but eventually I believe people will begin to enjoy the ride more. I feel WDI has done a good job so far and will continue to improve the ride more if possible with the advantage of them starting to incorporate newer and more up-to-date effects and systems that can open up more opportunities for them to innovate and create additions if ever planned to the ride.
I think the biggest problem with the new ride is that it seemed to have been redone with genuine malice toward the original (seriously, it seems like Disney gaslit a good chunk of their fanbase into thinking anyone who liked the original ride was a closet Klansman), and that lack of respect toward the original translated into doing basically the opposite of everything it did.
As much as some people now want to refuse to admit it, Splash Mountain worked so well because the storytelling worked in conjunction with the ride system. While some elements of the update are indeed quite nice, the lack of care with the story is incredibly apparent, and even fans admit they'll overlook it for the pretty visuals and music...which is a troubling shift in Disney's design and operating philosophy. If the "ride or die" fans will support them quite literally no matter what they do, why would they bother caring about the fine details that set their product apart in the first place?
So many have bashed Tiana's before even experiencing it. At least Splash got replaced. I grew up in the Disneyland era of sky buckets and peoplemovers.
All I can say is Bring Back Splash!
I have to agree I'm a Disney Parks / attraction fan then with the movies but then again you have some kind of knowledge of the movies to enjoy the attractions
Prince and the Frog has some solid tracks, and it was great to hear sections of them in the ride footage. I do agree that Dr. Facilier would have been a great addition to this ride, "Are You Ready" or "Friends on the Other Side" would have been near perfect for a drop section.
I'm sure Disney explored this, but decided it would have been too fun for guests 🤪
I'm so thankful I came across Brickey last year and subscribed. This is by far the best review of the ride I've seen so far. Kudos to Brickey for all that he does.
I grew up on Splash Mountain and like many others I wasn't aware of the problematic origins until much later in my life. I do think the story it's based on had its problems, but Splash was really just a flume ride to me - and the best flume ride at that. I even remember Disneyland before Splash when there was a mountain there, but all that was going on was the sound of a bear that no one ever saw but could hear him snoring from above. It was amazing when they transformed that area to Splash.
Splash had so many things going on inside it, and it was awesome to find out they had repurposed the characters from America Sings (formerly DL's Carousel of Progress). The other most important aspect of Splash was the cadence and pace of the story. By the time you got to the laughin place the tension was so high with all of the critter chaos going on around you, and then the vultures just before you ascended the lift hill, it was all there so that you had that moment of celebration after you survived the drop. And c'mon, Zippidy Doo Dah was exactly what you needed after the adrenaline rush!
So, I illustrated all of that because no matter how much we try to avoid it, TBA will be compared to its predecessor, and it's totally normal to do so.
TBA in my opinion is so well done in appearance, it's lush bayou scenes, the ambiance, everything...it's constructed with the care and detail that makes Disney famous. We all need to thank the construction workers and detailers who put their hard work and sweat into making it.
That all being said, I would have preferred they made Tiana's ride her own, not repurposed from a legacy attraction. I think that in itself is where the hate is coming from. I have to agree to a point (but not with the vile haters out there), that this whole endeavor created the divisiveness and that unfortunately is what they have to deal with now.
I'll ride it, and I'll enjoy it and marvel at all of the Disney craftsmanship that goes into these projects, but it is a downgrade when all the points I mention are considered, and that's a shame.
Until I actually ride it in DL, I've so far seen an exceptionally well executed ride, but with it's own issues. Still, the best flume ride anywhere.
Thanks for the insight Brickey ... looking forward to the west coast version! Another logo that's fun with secret hidden bits is Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors - love how the B and the R includes the 3 and the 1!
That is another classic!!! And I love that color way
🎉Glad to hear it works for you Brickey. I trust your perspective, so that is exciting news.
Lost me as viewer . If you can ride splash mountain and find anything racist , then you are the problem . I'm sure you are aware of the lengths that Tony Baxter and Disney went through to make sure there was nothing "offensive" on splash. There was nothing offensive about Song of the South either. This era of modernism is erasing the achievements of the very people you are trying to include. You and Disney are virtue signaling pure and simple.
I’ll do fine without you.
@@HeyBrickey I'm sure you will. So will Disney. That does not make my statement false.
@@JC-ct7wp…..Californians. 🤷🏼♂️🤔🙄
@@JC-ct7wp completely agree... If you're incapable of identifying with a character unless they have the exact same skin tone as you, then guess what? YOU are the racist.
Representation in lieu of good storytelling, and/or as the primary motivating factor, isn't "inclusive" it's inherently exclusive. And when that motivation is painfully obvious, it breaks the immersion, and pulls you back into the insanity that is modern politics.
I don't have anything against Princess and the Frog. In fact, it's the very first Blu-Ray I ever purchased. I enjoy it very much, and I've wanted to see it in the parks. I have a problem with people who condemn Song of the South as "racist" simply because it had the audacity to depict post-slavery black and white people actually getting along together.
This idea that everything ever created must conform to the modern political climate or be erased from history is completely insane.
I'm glad to see Princess and the Frog in the parks, but I feel it deserved its own thing.
@@LanceMiller87 Very well said .
Looking so forward to riding this with some of my Club 1313 friends! (I'm looking at you Amanda, Jess, David and Andy!) Thanks for the review Mark! 🌊🌊🌊
Regarding camera presence…You look and present great with sunglasses 😎 However, allowing us to see your “eyes smile” is fantastic. Again, you look sharp either way…but more without sunglasses please 🙏🏼 Awesome info and content as always!
I’ve not seen anybody talking about how different it’s going to look from Disneyland version look at the construction of Disneyland and you will see they’re keeping a lot of the red rock, and the shape of the mountain is very different I like Disneyland’s better I also looked at the model for Disneyland and the barn at the front isn’t green and brown. I hope the ride cube building isn’t yellow and brown as well. We will see!
They should have respected this character enough to give her, her own flat dark-ride. Canceling an already established fan favorite was a serious miss-step by the current Disney leadership. As for this attraction, once one becomes acquainted with the actual film, one can see all the incredible missed opportunities they had and maybe better understand another facet of the backlash. If they had to replace Splash for this, at least they could have utilized the movie and knocked this thing out of the park. They Didn't. They prefer mediocrity. Disney in decline. Sad.
You are spot on. There would have been overwhelming support for a Tiana dark ride. No reason to take away the most popular ride they had.
1000% agree friend. They should have a made a ride dedicated to Princess and the Frog elsewhere in the park. This was a massive mistake.
As I've always said, Tiana and crew deserve their own attraction elsewhere. This ride did need animatronic and ride system upgrades though... as it sits right now though, from everything I've seen it seems like a down-grade.
For all the grief people gave the accents on Splash, how is this any better? I really want to know.
Once TB goes live in DL, I think it will be quite some time before I ride it. Not just because of it being different theming, thinking that it will be absolutely packed for some time. Im just hoping that HM and PC will have been opened before or shortly after the grand opening of TB so that the western side will have its Magic back
Dude you are on fire! Thank you for going out to the kingdom!
Thanks for the great video, Brickey. This was good for me to see. My initial thoughts were that Disney really screwed the pooch on this one, but after hearing your perspective I want to give it a fair chance when it comes to Anaheim. Thank you!
Water drop rides aren't my thing either (except my fav Pirates technically kinda falls in that category) but I look forward to trying it at DL. I agree... it will fit perfectly between NOS and CC.
Splash Mountain didn’t include everyone? The singing animals? Jesus Christ.
He says he doesn't reviews movies but rides. I don't understand it either.
@@joanmoret my favorite part is where he says Splash Mountain disparaged and insulted people and yet he would ride it. What does that say about you? Or did you not think that until you were told to think that? What year exactly did you come to the conclusion that Splash Mountain insulted people? Circa 2020 Im guessing.
I hope in the future when they have to money, they will add an icon masterpiece on the top of the mountain
I wish Disneyland had the side by side seats in their logs like MK.
Thanks for the coolest vlog ever. You are very right about the one at Disneyland will be better because it will blend in with New Orleans and Critter Country. Tell me did you figure out the psychedelic tunnel, I saw it in another vlog and it reminded me of the scene in Willy Wonka but it must be a spell from Mama Odie. That's what I thought. Maybe one time I'm down at Disneyland I'll get to meet you.😅
That's a fair assessment. I kinda thought this will be a much better fit in Disneyland than the Magic Kingdom. But, if they wanted to get away with the ride in the Magic Kingdom, annexing Liberty Square and Frontierland to become the Lands of America might be a better use of theme. 😂
Hey loved the video! Can’t wait to get it over here in Disneyland..😊🤙
Thank you!
I am also glad that they added some other cultural aspects to the park, but I have several black family members that said splash Mountain wasn’t that big of a deal, but I’m only hearing from a few perspectives, I just hope I enjoy it as much as I did splash Mountain, looking forward to riding it at Disneyland.
I’m old enough to remember seeing the Song of the South as a little girl when it was still in circulation. Charming story and great music on the surface but…Disney did the right thing pulling it out of circulation. It’s hard for so many of us who loved Splash Mountain to see it go. It is nostalgic yet, kudos to Disney for taking a beautiful story like Tiana’s and doing this new overlay. THANK YOU for the unexpected “Disneyland” review Brickey! Loved it! Might I add, even though you aren’t a Disney movie fan, you should really watch Princess and the Frog. If you love New Orleans culture, the music and animation are just amazing!!
I hate the updated animation for the ride. It's the last movie in the old animation style and they couldn't even keep it for the ride.
Brickey is in WDW!!! Some of the best content.
So bummed to hear you say splash mountain “wasn’t for everyone “ and that you thought this new ride was fun cuz it “celebrates black culture / history?” I’ve been a subscriber/ supporter of yours since near your beginning on RUclips but this review has me heading toward the door. I didn’t expect you to be critical and risk your Disney media pass but if what you said is truly how you feel then we don’t agree on the state of Disney parks and films. Bummer. Doesn’t mean I can’t stay friendly. But splash wasn’t racist at all. It was for everyone and the stats prove that out. This new ride isn’t half as good as splash and I think you know that. There is no story to follow and ZERO ADVENTURING going on! No antagonist? Less than half the animatronics? This is an epic fail . (IMHO). It’s a cost cutting , woke , mess and we can disagree and I can still like your other content. Nuff said.
💯
He is from the south so he knows that Song Of The South doesn’t come from a good place? What a nonsense take, what does that even mean? Just another lemming that can’t articulate an opinion.
Great review! Thanks
Improvement culturally? There was nothing racist about Song of the South.
hes from California.. you cant convince them using logic.
The vast majority of people who think SotS is racist haven't watched it. P&TF has antisemitic undertones, but that's just fine apparently.
Easy fix . Just spread out the animatronics better. So each scene gives you something to see.
Who knew that a theme park ride review would draw so much fear and anger from people? I don't think most of them are even aware of it. Hold on loosely my friends.
the animatronics weren't as advanced as they claimed them to be... Yeah, because they're never fully functioning. They're advanced, they just don't work. This ride has been a diaster since day one and it's a huge shame because it should have been amazing.
design 6?
Great review! I appreciate your honesty and breaking down the facts to those who might not know the history of splash mountain. So glad we now have a great representation in the parks and can not wait to ride Tianas Bayou Adventure at Disneyland! Hope to run into again soon at the parks!
how was splash mountain racist? it's literally about a bear, fox and rabbit
The film the story that the story comes from, Songs of the South, is about a little white boy that lives in a cotton plantation, who is friends with a small black boy that is a slave’s child. There is also an old slave named Uncle Remus, and he sings “Slave working songs”, though Disney wrote them, and the story with the bear, fox and rabbit was only half told in Splash Mountain. The full story includes the bear and fox creating a “Tar Baby” where they take tar and shape it to look like a black person, trying to trap the rabbit by making him want to punch the tar. The rabbit is also in the likeness of an uneducated black person. So the movie it’s based on is racially insensitive and portrayed the slaves as if their slave work was fun by singing and telling stories. Disney hasn’t released the film on any physical media. You can find it online, but the ones I’ve seen of it are from other countries where they broadcasted it on TV in the 1980s, and the video quality is poor. Personally, I wish they just kept it, but it was stirring up a lot of trouble with race equality groups, which are very fair and deserve the merit.
Never in a million years
I’ve liked your videos for a while, but love your comments about inclusion. Well said!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Im sorry, imagineing being a little black girl and her family on how welcoming she must feel? Im sure that little black girl doesnt look for specifically black rides, the ride is horrible, so many missed opportunities...whats next, they gonna get rid of haunted mansion? I mean the story is a bride killing her husbands...
Representation matters. I’m sorry you can’t see that.
@@HeyBrickey can you explain *_why_* representation matters?
What matters is good storytelling with universal themes that *_everyone_* can identify with. If that comes from a great film with black culture, like Princess and the Frog, then great! But Disney has been prioritizing "representation" over all else, and it shows in the rapidly declining quality of everything they do.
Putting so much emphasis on representation indicates a belief that "minorities" are incapable of identifying with a character of any other background than their own, but "white" people can. I'm sorry, but _that_ in itself is racist.
@@LanceMiller87 he cant explain why. He just repeats whats said by the liberal hive mind. No actual original thoughts going on in there. Just regurgitated liberal talking points.
@@LanceMiller87 Would you say the same thing if you lived in a country where there were relatively few white characters in books, movies, shows, and theme park attractions?
I like most of Brickey's stuff...but this comment about representation and imagining being a little black girl is just pure WTAF lunacy. 1) It's not Disney's responsibility or place to have representation of every culture and background. If you don't feel welcome or if you go looking for things where you might be not represented, that's entirely on you. I guess you can hang out on it's a small world all day. I'm pretty sure every culture is represented there. 2) Do you imagine being a misrepresented ghost on Haunted Mansion? A misrepresented tribesman on Jungle Cruise? A misrepresented gold prospector on Big Thunder? No, of course you don't. Just stick to your design theories...
This is Disney World, not Disney Land.
Boo you said that song of the south was racist you should do your research before you speak on this subject.
It is and I did.
Boring ride, no suspense, no catching tunes.....When Disney goes woke this is what you get
Need to get off that woke mess and live your life,don’t like it??don’t ride it and keep moving🤷🏽🤷🏽
I think you missed it on this one.
Song of the south was not racist at all. Nor did it have anything to do with slavery.
The ride is so bad it has you in the Salt mine. You do realize that salt mines were mined by SLAVES.
This ride is more offensive to African Americans than splash mountain.
I won't stop following you over this however.
This is just your opinion.
That's the beauty of America.
We can disagree yet still be friends.
Take care my friend.
Hey Brickey! Just met you at connections. Thanks for being so cool! Stoked in Vero Beach.
Awesome to meet you and your son!!! Thanks for saying hello
13:00👍👍👍
You should keep your hat off. You’re a good looking man.
I appreciate that. The hat is more to protect the head so I can keep my youthful head. I’m way older than most people think and not having a lot of sun damage helps. But I appreciate that comment ❤️
You’re way too generous, Brickey!
This re-skin is low budget and a bad fit for a thrill, water ride.
And this is a step down from Splash with a fraction of the animatronics of Splash.
I’m guessing you’re trying to give a positive review to stay on the media guest list.
I’m not on the media list. Nor do I care to be on it. Sorry to ruin your conspiracy for my honest opinions.
We know that the haunted mansion will be having its manicured gardens turned into the bayou
Do we all know that?
@@HeyBrickey Do you remember seeing the Ken Anderson & Sam McKim concept art of the mansion set in the bayou?
@@HeyBrickey there is no way they leave a random plantation house in between Tianas place and Tianas Bayou Adventure..
they just don't have the budget to rile people up with it yet.
You sound like a paid actor!
That's not Disneyland 😅
Sounds like a bought and paid for pixieduster review of Wokeback Mountain.
Loser
Hey Wokey! I disagree with your take. Unsub. Too shilly.
Oh know my career will be over without you. Please come back I’m one idiot short now.
@@HeyBrickey lol
Finally a perspective that actually helps. I agree there should have been a villain, but It will fit wonderfully where the ride is situated in Disneyland.
100%. After seeing the queue and the ride itself, I feel like this ride was built for Disneyland.
This ride is so boring, it needs a villain badly. Worst ride redo of all time
I really appreciate you saying that you're a Disney park fan, not a Disney movie fan. I'm here for the rides and experiences, not the IPs.
Would've preferred an original story that fit's the ride system than having an out of place story with Tiana.
bro just contradicted himself in this video.. check it out 12:19 then goes on to say 13:56 Like, which one is it? Youre not a biggest fan but you love the songs? lol what a shill
@@ReiseTimeHumans have more complexity than you’re allowing for. You can him a shill, I call you simple minded and lacking in subtlety 🤷♂️
Agreed. Bro got paid off lmao@@ReiseTime
@@RakoonCDeither that or they just retell the story for Tiana’s
Unfortunately, Splash Mountain was the place that felt home to me and the heart of the park, Like It's the only reason I wanted go to Disneyland. (also I read the Brer Rabbit stories at a young age).
I think the storytelling is a step down, and not even compared to splash, just about the most recent attractions have displaced storytelling that doesn't match the ride system, Not to mention the lack of stakes or thrill either.
I think it would've been a bigger statement if disney let their imagineers remake/reboot splash mountain but as an earnest, respectable, depiction of their stories and culture. But showing how they didn't market Iwájú and the anthology series that well, I can't enjoy Tiana's even at a moral point of view.
"They could've done more" is what I'm saying, but everyone's been saying this recently.
that's... a *HOT* take bud...
Heart of the park? LOL IASW, pirates, jungle cruise, even dumbo are more disney
Also, a bit petty, but I don't want the success to be a reinforcement of putting IP everywhere.
@@toyaliensindeed, especially since Splash was created way after the death of Walt Disney and more specifically, named after the Tom Hanks mermaid movie with Darryl Hannah!🤔😜 Oh, by the way, Brer Rabbit was actually a slave in the original stories. The more you know!😉📚💫
There’s no one else I’d rather hear a review from. As always, I thank you for your balanced perspective and stunning cinematography.
Balance was quite the word I was looking for as well, I felt that same with this review from Brickey!
💯
Great story? From every vid I've seen, there appears to be almost no story, other than "Let's put together a band".
As Brickey said, it's a story with low stakes:
1. Tiana is throwing a Mardi Gras celebration to thank the community for supporting her food co-op but needs help in finding a band.
2. Tiana and Louie gather several animal musicians that live in the bayou.
3. Mama Odie shrinks us to frog-size so that we can gather frog-sized musicians and fireflies.
4. Mama Odie returns us to normal sized and drops us back into the bayou.
5. Tiana holds a joyful celebration for all her friends, and Tiana sings "Special Spice.
Not every story has conflict. Some stories are more "slice of life" stories. But I agree with Brickey that a low-conflict story is not a good match for a thrill ride.
I would be interested to hear why you think that the Song of the South critters were offensive to any culture or people, granted maybe the movie was perceived as such though it did happen during reconstruction and the people living on the Plantation were not slaves. How were the animals and the tales offensive?
Splash Mountain > Tianas. The lack of any kind of antagonist or villian to create a problem to overcome for the ride story makes the events of the ride seem boring. Let's get band members for a party together and we will randomly get shrunk down to frogs while doing it just isn't good enough for a thrill ride like this and that big final drop.
It feels more like a forced fit. This attraction belongs as a Fantasyland dark ride, not a thrill ride. The weak story and tension are a mismatch for this type of ride system. It's too much of a happy feel in areas where tension should be building up. I have to say that the exterior of the attraction is an improvement. I love the trees. However, the color of the painted soil and rocks didn't change from Splash Mountain. Instead of the brownish red color, they should have painted the soil more like a bayou (greyish in color). Also, are there mountains in the bayou? Overall, I feel this attraction is a downgrade to what was there before
Yes I agree with you. It doesn't have the song "Friends on the other side" chanting "Are you ready" and that makes it fall flat. Disney World and Disneyland needs to improve their Princess and the Frog ride, I want Pink Flamingos included in the ride, I want to see a tombstone of Dr. Facilier to pay nod from the film. Also I want to see critters like gophers working in Tiana's garden and have Prince Naveen be with Tiana in the first section, also add 3 possums and deer and skunks to make it for lively. I want Louis to sing "When we're Human" They need to fix the drop off and have 2 rows of Pink Flamingos or cave bats chanting "Are you ready reprise?" and have Mama Odie sing along then I'll be more excited because right now. I'm disappointed with the early version of Disney World's Tiana's Bayou Adventure video preview, they need to improve it so they get more people on the ride.
Appreciate your review but there is something amiss. To your own admission, you reviewed Tiana’s based on how it holds up as a ride with no knowledge of the movie. It checked that box. However you didn’t take the same approach with Splash. Splash also held its own as a ride with no knowledge or understanding of the movie needed. I’m struggling to remember where Splash had any negative undertones to it. Unfortunately, the “salt mine” reference in Tiana’s cue does have undertones which was missed by imagineers.
I’m still a fan Brickey, but this review felt a little off IMHO. Much love! ❤️
Glad to hear your review! I've waited to watch all the other coverage because I wanted to get the design perspective...... I think you're right it will fit perfectly in that transition between New Orleans square and Critter country
appreciate that
The shorter track will make the DL version even better
No
I love that you didn't watch any spoilers beforehand, so your review could be genuine of experiencing it for the first time. I feel like your review is an accurate one!
