I'm glad we're getting the higher quality animatronics but the big question is how many will we get? Splash had tons, I fear we will have far fewer in this new version and a reliance on the dreaded screens to make up for all the missing physical animatronics.
@@tjtennisicmroll2k Disney said that there would be 17 characters, but that doesn't mean 17 animatronics. My guess is that many of the characters will appear several times throughout the ride.
There’s a lot of misinterpretation of what Disney *said* - what they said is to expect 17 brand new characters…That excludes animatronics (and their multiples) of Tiana, Louis, Naveen, Mama Odie, Charlotte, Big Daddy, etc. 17 NEW characters, which could have multiple animatronics as well - and, I imagine there will be frogs and whatnot that aren’t included in the character count. From what inside sources have confirmed, it’s dozens. Maybe not *as many* as Splash, but Splash counted barely moving things towards their AA count.
Tiana is from New Orleans, the Critters are from Critter Country. I can totally hear Tiana saying that. "We landed ourselves smack dab in the middle of Critter Country."
Read that in her voice and kinda love that. She’s such a great princess. It’s annoying how much hate already is being thrown at this because largely extremely racist people. Yes people (including myself) loved the original ride but I do fully understand the huge issue with it being based on a film that is very problematic as far as racism. I do hope so much they are making this ride incredible. They need to understand if it’s not to the standard of the original, if not only will get more hate, but almost validate the racist people hating on it already… unfortunately.
Still wish they would have made the ride around the movie instead of after the movie and mainly because the villain was awesome, Sad if he isn't in there in some way
I think Disney was terrified of having the same racism controversy pop up over the original movie like what happened with Song Of The South. There's already been some controversy over the rosy depiction of that era in Princess And The Frog, among other things.
@@AStageForTheKingdom That's literally the worst excuse I've ever heard. Let me get this straight, they are retheming the ride because the movie it's based on, is racist. And the movie that they're retheming it to, at least from what they are arguing, is racist. Their solution, in BOTH cases, is to ignore all of the racist elements and cut them out from the ride. How is that any better than OG Splash Mountain? And if it isn't, than why are they retheming it to a movie they think is ALSO RACIST?????
@@davidguthrie6316 That’s why they are setting the ride AFTER the movie, rather than basing it on the original. That’s why we have a salt mine with cuddly critters and a food co-op rather than the story from the movie.
@@AStageForTheKingdom Again, still terrible. I don't think Facilier is racist but if Disney thinks he is, then they shouldn't associate their ride with a "racist" movie if they want to not make the same mistake they did before
I heard from a coworker a few months ago a lot of this stuff David just reported. He told me that the ride is basically about her running her restaurant. I think the best part of the ride will be the longing you feel for splash mountain!
Awaiting the reimagining but growing skeptical. Yesterday, another channel said Bob Iger toured Tiana's and called it "boring". Whether or not that is accurate, I have no idea.
FreshBaked is the only RUclips source on Disney I trust (well and Offhand Disney), so many other channels are just making up things to Totally Own Disney in the culture war.
Just wondering what having no Valentine's Day special food items has anything to do with the Sweetheart nights? They could be for sale both during regular operating hours & also during the. Sweetheart night. We all know that Disney is too cheap to offer any sweet treats for free at sweethearts night. So I'm just scratching my head over this one! 😳
The animatronics better not have those shitty digital faces! They have ruined the mine scene at Disney world. They feel cheap. Something six flags would do
The main point of the video is that the Tiana ride will have state-of-the-art animatronics. Not the digital faces like in Epcot's Frozen, but like the animatronic facial expressions like in Hong Kong's Frozen. By the way, I live practically next-door to a Six Flags and even once worked there as a ride operator, and I can tell you that Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is far, far more advanced than anything Six Flags has done, even their Justice League ride.
The problem with making a New Orleans land in Magic Kingdom is that Big Thunder is on the wrong side of Splash and makes tlno sense in New Orleans. Also I wonder when they'll update EPCOT Elsa to be like Hong Kong?
And Pirates is set in the Caribbean? What’s your point? Small World is literally all over the world. Peter Pan is in London and a fictional world of Neverland. Seriously what’s your point? Rides can take place anywhere lol
@ryanb4940 yeah but those are all indoor rides where the facade matches their surroundings. Big Thunder doesn't have that advantage. Now given that it sounds like they might turn current frontierland INTO New Orleans and put a new frontierland behind Big thunder than that sidesteps the issue. It's just gonna be a weird transition
As much as I look forward to seeing Tiana's Bayou Adventure, I think that replacing Splash Mountain was an absolutely unnecessary change. Why tear it down? All because of a stupid, outdated controversial link with the so-called "racist" movie "Song of the South"? It's getting old and tiresome, man! I think Tiana's should be moved to a different spot and Splash Mountain should be rebuilt. Tokyo Disneyland kept Splash Mountain, so why shouldn't US Disneyland do the same? Everything should be back to the way it was before! Please bring back Splash Mountain!🙏🏻
You know which land the Disneyland version should be in: Both... have it be in both as it sits on the border. They're making sure it works in both. Heck the Imagineers and Cast Members can have fun with people asking the question "Is this ride supposed to be in Critter County or New Orleans Square?" by answering "Yes" and if they need a real answer just say "It's a bridge between the two lands." This doesn't work for Disney World, obviously, but for Disneyland... doesn't need to be in one land... it can be in both.
This is exactly what I was thinking for Disneyland. No idea what they're planning for Magic Kingdom. The fact that they're presently updating the Country Bears show there makes it seem Frontierland is sticking around for a while.
I wish they could have rethemed it to Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Disneyland and the Western River Expedition in Disney World. I mean, how can you do a better reimagining of the ride than use it to resurrect Marc Davis's magnum opus
"The city itself could be described as a character in the story" What's this push for story and storytelling recently? They're telling us instead of showing us the story with these comments.
I wish they'd have done the ride to be like the film when she's going down the bayou as a frog. Yes there's no mountain there but at least it's from the film and tells a full story. When you land they could have even shown the 2 stars in the sky.... also they could make Winnie-the-Pooh ride into a Friend's on the Other side ride. Yes it kills critter country but it's already going away. Just what to do with the Hungry Bear? Mama Odies? Idk just thoughts.
That is encouraging that there could be at least 2 fantastic audio animatronics, in Tiana's Bayou Adventure. If this could start a movement to replace most of the projection faced characters, that should make quite a few guests happy.
@@davidguthrie6316 Given the amount of "dead faced" projection characters that Disney has been using in the US parks (Runaway Railroad x2, Frozen, and Seven Dwarf Mine Train) a return to expression is "encouraging".
Nobody wants a ride through a factory.. hope Tiana's foods won't be this, I find it very weird that they are making Tiana's bayou adventure about what "happens after the movie" .. they never made a sequel. People want a princess and the frog ride, because we love the movie. Why invent a new story line that nobody knows? Tiana's food? Tiana as a bayou guide?.. no give the people what they love!!
We already know we’re getting a fraction of the animatronics and you’re also ignoring the other reports that Bob Iger said (in a recent walk through): “this is really boring.” Which does seem to match the story of Tiana collecting ingredients for party food. Hope springs eternal though we shall see…
Splash was an iconic ride with over 100 animatronics. The song Zip-a-Dee-doo-dah is the most memorable song I have from my childhood. Not sure if Tiana’s adventure is going to be all that great and memorable for people
I do look forward to some of the NO style. But once I get past that fleeting emotion, I go back to the sickness of knowing I'll never finish this ride with most epic of finishes: Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.
Hey there Freshbaked! Thanks for keeping us updated, as this was a very interesting and helpful video! I think I have a great theory that explains why they are building some sort of tunnel in Tiana's Bayou Adventure over at Disneyland, where the little critter home at Critter Country can be seen. What if they're planning to add a scene where the park guests would be able to see fireflies projected into a dark tunnel, that will be leading to another scene. It makes sense, right?
To be truthful, I really don’t care which land the ride is in or what the theme is. I do love the fact that some of the areas are themed but if the ride is good, I’ll go, if it isn’t good, I won’t go. It looks like they’re putting a lot of work into this and it should be a great ride. That’s all that makes me happy.
Change is good since things can get stale. Question is Disney alienating those Disneyland fans that grew up in the 60s and 70s by making changes that remove cherished memories that some remember when they grew up with their families. Maybe that's why so many guests are not families having fun together like back in the good old days.
Disney failed me recently for too much times. It’s great that we finally have a black princess themed ride, but judging from the Little Mermaid remake, I better lower the expectation bars so I don’t get hurt.
Great video as always, David! I love how you weaved this video together! You went through the details of what to expect on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and to be honest, I’m excited! Your videos are excellent! Thank you, David!🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻
Did they sell off ALL of the old Splash Mountain animatronics? I don’t think the 16 robots or so that they’re planning on can possibly replace the 70+ characters from the original version. I think what made it special was how busy it felt. I don’t see how this ride won’t seem sparse and barren when so many physical objects are being replaced with screens!
Elevated water tanks are for when there are no hills on which to place a tank. In this case, the hill is right there so they would just put the tank on the hill. But yeah I know, elevated tanks are picturesque.
Lol, yeah. In this case I think it's also there to change the forced perspective to visually shrink the size of the hill so we no longer see it as a mountain.
i didn’t think they had to close the ride , just renovate it yk ? fix the animatronics the scenes, and maybe even the story, but keep the characters because you can’t change what happened in the past. if you just get rid of the ride, it’s just going to try to cover up what the history has done. although I like how they gave Tiana ride, They should’ve gave her, her own individual ride because I don’t think that kind of story could work in long flume I feel like it would’ve been better as a dark ride.
Does anyone else agree with me that they're totally missing their chance of having the "are you ready" song going "bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum are you ready" before we drop? That totally makes sense to me.
Hi David, don't know if you saw, but Disney took out a new permit: "Dlr - Briar Patch/Bldg #4101 - Tenant Improvement: 602 Sq Ft Remodel To Include Infill Of One Window, Install New Window Counter And Modification At Two Merchandise Wall Bays. With Electrical." So, Briar Patch is going, and Window Counter makes me think food options.
While I still hope this is a rich, and better version of Splash Mountain, the reports are saying 53 animatronics at WDW to 17. That is just not an upgrade. I’m still nervous.
they need to lower the cost of maintaining all of them, so they have to give us something worse, I can't wait till they ruin all of their other classic rides to save money and try to say it is about diversity and inclusion so no one can complain
I think people who are upset about Tiana's being in Frontierland are forgetting that Splash Mountain was set in Georgia (if going by the movie). Not exactly the frontier, so there's always been a distinctly non-western and specifically southern section in the middle. And then the Country Bears are supposed to be from Tennessee as well. I do get the argument that it stands out aesthetically since Splash had the more red western desert look (kind of loving the green/flowers though). But there's always been a non-western/southern themed thing there, this isn't new. What is new is a much better understanding of the context and impact of the source material. On the theme park side of things, another opportunity for people to go on a thrill ride with an ongoing story in the dark ride portion (I enjoyed the song, but I feel like this will have more of a story flow). Plus character representation - you can go to a meet and greet with Tiana in the park so you have better connections to the other lands and actually go talk to her about her attraction, which will be cool.
It's actually changed from a mountain to a salt dome, which is native to Louisiana. That's why they removed the tree on top that made it look like a mountain. They will continue to call it a salt dome or hill from now on.
@@alligator3459salt dome?!? Do you even know what happened in an actual salt dome? Blacks were held captive. Forced to work. It’s disgusting. Disney is so blind to what people actually want.
While I am adamantly opposed to what they’ve done to Splash Mountain, I wouldn’t mind expanding the New Orleans theme, since it is a strong and very atmospheric one, and would fit the Haunted Mansion in between. However, if you don’t think that the current “woke” management won’t use this as an opportunity to get rid of Frontierland entirely, you’re not paying attention. I have zero doubt that these politically correct zealots view Frontierland as “white man’s colonizer land”, and will look for any opportunity to de-emphasize or completely eliminate it. Also think about Main Street USA for a moment, and compare that to some of the far left wacko statements that have come out of Disney management. I think it also stands out as a giant exception to their “diversity” at all costs cultural jihad. Don’t think they would ever destroy Main Street? Just wait and watch. They’re completely out of control, and unfortunately the best hope for Walt’s rapidly vanishing legacy at this point is for the company’s recent financial collapse to continue, and for Nelson Peltz, with the assistance of perhaps someone like Elon Musk, to launch a hostile takeover and put a full-stop to the “woke” garbage. As for the cutting-edge animatronics, I’m always in favor of Disney using the best technology available, something they used to do routinely. However, I think we all know how long that will last before they break, ala the Yeti and Kylo Ren, with the ride running in “B mode” forever after that. The Peltz hostile takeover effort aside, if I could have one wish it would be for the Oriental Land Company to take over Disney. That would eliminate both the cancer of wokeness and penny-pinching quality compromises in one fell swoop, as OLC has no use for either of them. The Tokyo parks are widely recognized as far and away the best Disney parks in the world, and it’s because they revere and maintain Walt’s commitment to high quality, and they have zero use for divisive and frankly evil “woke” political correctness. You certainly won’t find bizarre bearded guys in drag working at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique there. The fact that I even had to type such a sentence is the best illustration of how degenerate all of Disney has become. Thank God for the Japanese and their apparent immunity to the woke mind virus.
And the only thing worse than the "woke mind virus" are the screeching Karens and Kens who think we should still be living in a time when bathrooms and water fountains were segregated. But if ANYTHING good comes out of this re-theme, is all the people like you will actually hopefully STAY AWAY. Do us all that favor, ok??
😮💨🙄Dude, just say you hate black people and call it a day.... freaking writing paragraphs about "woke", Elon , Yada Yada. You def sound so fun at parties lmao What a wind bag... 🙄🙄😮💨😮💨
I love that Critter country will probably be even better if they lean into the Critter concept. Thanks fresh baked for keeping the Disney magic alive despite the disaster that the Disney company has got themselves into. Just a little sidenote, my daughter and I just watched Cars again for the thousandth time. It is so good. . I wish Disney would go back to making simple feel good movies that don’t offend anybody. Cars is like the example of the direction. Disney needs to go again. Just make people happy, all people, so simple, good happy feel good movies lands shows.
@@ItzAdrian02 I’m just think “Critters” as the theme. Not critters in the Bayou. Just critters. it doesn’t matter where the critters are from. Just that they’re all critters. All critters welcome. I was worried that they would get rid of Winnie the Pooh and that would be terrible.
@guinealove.986 pooh is way too popular to get rid of, he's sells lots of merch and is very popular with meet and greets. While the disneyland dark ride isn't as popular as the other pooh rides in disney Parks it's way to big to get rid of
All of that will happen once I get a job at Disney. I'll help the Disney company get back on its feet and get things back on track. Just wait and see, you and your daughter will be AMAZED and DAZZLED when you see the beautiful, blockbuster masterpieces that I've created!!!
I hope this new top-shelf animatronic In Tiana's is a sign of things to come for Disneyland. Disney needs to replace all the low-rent projected animatronics in the park, namely Constance Hatchaway in the Haunted Mansion and Buzz in Astro Blasters. They're embarrassingly cheap looking and obviously Disney knows how to do better. This is a perfect time for them to replace Constance while the HM is shut down for 6 months.
“Love letter” to New Orleans? I just don’t get it. An even more massive huge chunk of Disneyland dedicated New Orleans? That’s real nice to have new animatronics and all and I do hope it looks beautiful, but I don’t follow this expanded idea of changing up critter country. I sure hope they leave Winnie the Pooh’s area untouched. And am I the only one who thinks the tower should have the actual name of the ride on it versus “Tiana’s foods”?
Pooh was never a good fit in Critter Country. It would not have been a good fit for the previous Bear Country. The reason was the area was meant to be an appropriate sub-land for Frontierland, as New Orleans Square was for Adventureland and Toontown was for Fantasyland. These sub lands were purposely not given generic land names (Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Frontierland) but themes specific to an attraction. Bear Country obviously for Bear Country Jamboree, a good fit within Frontierland which was what the area was part of originally. With the removal of Jamboree and Southern theme of the flume ride, Disney lost any connection to Frontierland. If you want to talk about "rules set" then the entire area should be themed appropriate for the flume ride, the Bayou, like New Orleans Square was for Pirates. Pooh belongs next to Peter Pan, Mr. Toad and Alice. No one looks at a bunch of stuffed animals walking around in the woods and thinks critters. And Mermaid in DCA, seriously?
As much as I’m sad to see Splash Mountain go, it’s kinda smart that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure sort of bridges New Orleans Square and Critter Country in Disneyland.
I mean, Tiana Hill looks boring. And if Tianas has better or as good of music as Splash Mountain I will be as surprised as a treadmill in a sumo wrestler's house.
I wish they would have redone the whole ride so they could add a restaurant inside the ride like they do in pirates! I would love to eat gumbo and cornbread watch people float on by.
@@davidculver5446 Less that than I realize that Splash Mountain is gone and is not coming back, so with the new information provided, I am getting very interested in what is to come. I have seen a LOT of rides come and go. I still miss Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland, but I also very much enjoy Big Thunder Mountain, for example. DL will always be changing.
@@angusmacdonald7187 Tomorrow land is one that must change but not Fantasy, New Orleans, Columbia, Mark Twain, canoes, rail road, Frontier, Adventure...etc. What if the ride does not bring in new customers...what if compared to splash mountain it doesn't match up. Disney does not have unlimited assets to pay for these changes So will you be ok with changing ticket prices, laying off cast members in park. Eisner brought Disney back from the edge of collapse financially. Iger does not have that track record. Rides equal costs...and Disney peer parks are moving ahead.
As someone who grew up in the bayou of both Louisiana and Mississippi, This doesn't look at all like the bayou. It looks like prairies, not a swamp. Swamps are gross and do not look like the photos released. Most of the talking points by you sound like they came directly from Disney's mouth and not your own thoughts. Do better. Don't shill.
It always astounds me how people feel that they have the right to come into someone else's RUclips channel and tell them to "do better." David does and will continue to do, HIS videos HIS way. If you don't like HIS videos... go do YOUR videos on YOUR channel. Be sure to let us know when you've done that, so we can come in and complain about your videos. 🤦♂
@@WindowtotheMagic youtube is everybody's domain. When you prepare and post you are inviting commentary either way. We all have comments come back that isn't what we hoped for but that is publishing.
If Disney just went back to animatronics all together, we’d be square. And hopefully they redo the foliage in WDW Bayou Adventure. It looks like broccoli. Or maybe they have a lot left to do? Who knows. Here’s hoping Disney gives us a win sometime soon…
@@WindowtotheMagic Huh, every poll was against the re-theme. The save Splash petition has 100,000 while only 21,000 wanted the re-theme. Plus, it’s interesting when the 1% woke on social media hypes something up yet in the real world it fails. Strange world?! Lightyear?! The Little Mermaid remake?! The “Star Wars” hotel?! Disney is listening to the lowest of the lows that complain about everything and that’s why they are losing money. Your statement is incorrect with the real world.
Disappointed that they aren’t updating the actual ride - the odd, super-low, laying down between other people’s legs thing was the absolute worst. I loved the look of the higher, two person seating shown in the concept art.
Hmm, how does the old ride fit in with the N'orlans esthetic? Extending N'orlans doesn't bother me. Well, isn't there a lot of critters in Tiana's? So the critter side matches with the "mountain", where the other side is New Orleans?
Im so fricken excited!!!! Its going to turn out great, EVEN if they use the screens. They'll probably use holograms or projections for the fireflies, and whatnot but I personally wont be mad at that! And as far as the front facade and decor, itll look so nice!! Itll be like New Orleans Square expanded🙌😍. I'll never be able to afford to go to wwd, but Im so excited for Disneyland! They'll keep the Winnie the Pooh area, but the way they designed Tianas, it meshes New Orleans Square AND Critter Country if you pay attention to the fine details. I understand the nostalgia aspect, but I think it'll turn out cute and nice and I see an improvement rather than a setback.
I agree. I love these videos- this is by far my favorite channel for Disney updates. The music, however, is totally making me unable to concentrate. 😆 I could probably handle some Disney/New Orleans style music at a lower volume. Something more fitting would be great!
@@Britneyfurg yes! Something a bit more upbeat would be just fine. I think it’s almost going for a Tomorrowland type music, but it just doesn’t fit well.
When they first made splash mountain, they thought long and hard about getting the best music. Getting the best people to make classic songs that would last forever and become unforgettable for the people who grew up with the ride. Now they advertise "real New Orleans musicians," well I guess as long as "real" people are making the music I am sure it will be as good....
How much land does Tiana Restaurant need? Get rid of Peso Bill in MK change it into Hungry Bear. Get rid of Tom S.story and build Tiana on the island then use the riverboats for fine dining .
This ride is a disgrace to the original vision set by the Disneyland of years gone by. They replaced an iconic ride with one that no one asked for. To that exent, Tiana’s Rain Forest Cafe Ride looks nothing like New Orleans, according to Disneyphiles that actually live there. All to cater to the wokey woke “modern audience” SMH
Well, I HIGHLY doubt that, but you keep your negative narrative going. Especially with the endless wave of remakes, Princess & the Frog is a movie that stands out fondly to me, as it was one of the lasts breaths of "the old Disney". If anyone hasn't seen that movie because the main characters "don't resonate with them", they're not fooling anyone.
So the 'critters' band becomes an updated, reincarnation of the 'Country Bears'. Hmmm, imo expect the 'critters' to populate Critter Country (up to 'meet-and-greets')... eventually taking over the Pooh ride... A new '100 acre wood' 'tiny land' with an updated Pooh ride (merch & food too) would replace the Fantasyland theater...another place to 'rest' with the little ones right next to ToonTown.
the many adventures ride is out of place in critter country. That should have gone behind big thunder to be closer to fantasyland. If they are going to expand New orleans square into a new ride then they need to go all out and make it flow better. Taking the hungry bear and making that into Tiana Palace even if it was a quick service meal would have made more sense being closer to the ride. Disneyland just want to stick them rides in any spot they can without thinking about if it makes sense. Tommrowland is a great example of rides that don't fit in a land called tommorowland.
I'm glad we're getting the higher quality animatronics but the big question is how many will we get? Splash had tons, I fear we will have far fewer in this new version and a reliance on the dreaded screens to make up for all the missing physical animatronics.

Disney said themselves there would be 17 *NEW* animatronics. I would be willing to bet money most of the originals will stay
There’s a lot of misinterpretation of what Disney *said* - what they said is to expect 17 brand new characters…That excludes animatronics (and their multiples) of Tiana, Louis, Naveen, Mama Odie, Charlotte, Big Daddy, etc. 17 NEW characters, which could have multiple animatronics as well - and, I imagine there will be frogs and whatnot that aren’t included in the character count. From what inside sources have confirmed, it’s dozens. Maybe not *as many* as Splash, but Splash counted barely moving things towards their AA count.
I don’t know why - but I don’t like the mural art with the yellow backdrop 😢
Does that make me a bad person? 😅

Heck the Imagineers and Cast Members can have fun with people asking the question "Is this ride supposed to be in Critter County or New Orleans Square?" by answering "Yes" and if they need a real answer just say "It's a bridge between the two lands."
This doesn't work for Disney World, obviously, but for Disneyland... doesn't need to be in one land... it can be in both.
Oh aye! Brilliant and fun!
This is exactly what I was thinking for Disneyland. No idea what they're planning for Magic Kingdom. The fact that they're presently updating the Country Bears show there makes it seem Frontierland is sticking around for a while.
I wish they could have rethemed it to Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Disneyland and the Western River Expedition in Disney World. I mean, how can you do a better reimagining of the ride than use it to resurrect Marc Davis's magnum opus
"The city itself could be described as a character in the story" What's this push for story and storytelling recently? They're telling us instead of showing us the story with these comments.
I wish they'd have done the ride to be like the film when she's going down the bayou as a frog. Yes there's no mountain there but at least it's from the film and tells a full story. When you land they could have even shown the 2 stars in the sky.... also they could make Winnie-the-Pooh ride into a Friend's on the Other side ride. Yes it kills critter country but it's already going away. Just what to do with the Hungry Bear? Mama Odies? Idk just thoughts.
That is encouraging that there could be at least 2 fantastic audio animatronics, in Tiana's Bayou Adventure. If this could start a movement to replace most of the projection faced characters, that should make quite a few guests happy.
This isn't a cause for celebration. Animatronics on this animatronic based ride is the bare minimum
@@davidguthrie6316 Given the amount of "dead faced" projection characters that Disney has been using in the US parks (Runaway Railroad x2, Frozen, and Seven Dwarf Mine Train) a return to expression is "encouraging".
@@GLJosh I suppose, I just feel like there's a standard that Disney needs to uphold, and if it leads to projection faced animatronics leaving, great!
Nobody wants a ride through a factory.. hope Tiana's foods won't be this, I find it very weird that they are making Tiana's bayou adventure about what "happens after the movie"
.. they never made a sequel. People want a princess and the frog ride, because we love the movie. Why invent a new story line that nobody knows? Tiana's food? Tiana as a bayou guide?.. no give the people what they love!!
We already know we’re getting a fraction of the animatronics and you’re also ignoring the other reports that Bob Iger said (in a recent walk through): “this is really boring.” Which does seem to match the story of Tiana collecting ingredients for party food. Hope springs eternal though we shall see…
It sure looks and sounds boring to me. Will miss the laughing place 😢
Everything about this ride sounds horrible
Then don't go on it. Problem solved. You're welcome.
Splash was an iconic ride with over 100 animatronics. The song Zip-a-Dee-doo-dah is the most memorable song I have from my childhood. Not sure if Tiana’s adventure is going to be all that great and memorable for people
You'll be sure, once you see the final product.
@@WindowtotheMagicno, it won’t
You just pull numbers out of nowhere
As long as we get some dark voodoo or friends on the other side I’ll be happy
Im really excited for this.. but i dont like that yellow 😢
Yeah... Can the yellow for D-land! The rest of it, so far, will fit in nicely!
I do look forward to some of the NO style. But once I get past that fleeting emotion, I go back to the sickness of knowing I'll never finish this ride with most epic of finishes: Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.
I'm so stoked for this in Disneyland. It is going to transition so well between New Orleans Square and Critter Country.
Its gonna be horrible ... it looks terrible from the outside ... bob igor said the inside is boring! 😂
Note to David's editor: please tone down the background music, it's pretty distracting.
Hey there Freshbaked! Thanks for keeping us updated, as this was a very interesting and helpful video! I think I have a great theory that explains why they are building some sort of tunnel in Tiana's Bayou Adventure over at Disneyland, where the little critter home at Critter Country can be seen.
What if they're planning to add a scene where the park guests would be able to see fireflies projected into a dark tunnel, that will be leading to another scene. It makes sense, right?
To be truthful, I really don’t care which land the ride is in or what the theme is. I do love the fact that some of the areas are themed but if the ride is good, I’ll go, if it isn’t good, I won’t go. It looks like they’re putting a lot of work into this and it should be a great ride. That’s all that makes me happy.
You nailed it. All the concerns drop by the wayside, once everyone sees the quality and enjoys the final product. It happens every single time.
Guys I miss splash 😢 I just… am not sure about this ride..
Change is good since things can get stale. Question is Disney alienating those Disneyland fans that grew up in the 60s and 70s by making changes that remove cherished memories that some remember when they grew up with their families. Maybe that's why so many guests are not families having fun together like back in the good old days.
They should’ve just remade splash mountain with new skinned animatronics and updated decorations
Disney failed me recently for too much times.
It’s great that we finally have a black princess themed ride, but judging from the Little Mermaid remake, I better lower the expectation bars so I don’t get hurt.
Great video as always, David! I love how you weaved this video together! You went through the details of what to expect on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and to be honest, I’m excited! Your videos are excellent! Thank you, David!🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻
Been enjoying the constant uploads, gives me more to binge. Keep it up
Did they sell off ALL of the old Splash Mountain animatronics? I don’t think the 16 robots or so that they’re planning on can possibly replace the 70+ characters from the original version. I think what made it special was how busy it felt. I don’t see how this ride won’t seem sparse and barren when so many physical objects are being replaced with screens!
Elevated water tanks are for when there are no hills on which to place a tank. In this case, the hill is right there so they would just put the tank on the hill. But yeah I know, elevated tanks are picturesque.
just for WDW
Lol, yeah. In this case I think it's also there to change the forced perspective to visually shrink the size of the hill so we no longer see it as a mountain.
i didn’t think they had to close the ride , just renovate it yk ? fix the animatronics the scenes, and maybe even the story, but keep the characters because you can’t change what happened in the past. if you just get rid of the ride, it’s just going to try to cover up what the history has done. although I like how they gave Tiana ride, They should’ve gave her, her own individual ride because I don’t think that kind of story could work in long flume I feel like it would’ve been better as a dark ride.
Does anyone else agree with me that they're totally missing their chance of having the "are you ready" song going "bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum are you ready" before we drop? That totally makes sense to me.
Hi David, don't know if you saw, but Disney took out a new permit: "Dlr - Briar Patch/Bldg #4101 - Tenant Improvement: 602 Sq Ft Remodel To Include Infill Of One Window, Install New Window Counter And Modification At Two Merchandise Wall Bays. With Electrical."
So, Briar Patch is going, and Window Counter makes me think food options.
That would be a great place to sell beignets. Ease some of the traffic in front of the New Orleans bathrooms.
This looks absolutely terrible. Stop catering to activists.
While I still hope this is a rich, and better version of Splash Mountain, the reports are saying 53 animatronics at WDW to 17. That is just not an upgrade. I’m still nervous.
they need to lower the cost of maintaining all of them, so they have to give us something worse, I can't wait till they ruin all of their other classic rides to save money and try to say it is about diversity and inclusion so no one can complain
You should be...how much money do you think Disney has
Not that much.
17 brand new characters not including 12 returning characters and then their multiple appearances in the ride
I think people who are upset about Tiana's being in Frontierland are forgetting that Splash Mountain was set in Georgia (if going by the movie). Not exactly the frontier, so there's always been a distinctly non-western and specifically southern section in the middle. And then the Country Bears are supposed to be from Tennessee as well.
I do get the argument that it stands out aesthetically since Splash had the more red western desert look (kind of loving the green/flowers though). But there's always been a non-western/southern themed thing there, this isn't new. What is new is a much better understanding of the context and impact of the source material. On the theme park side of things, another opportunity for people to go on a thrill ride with an ongoing story in the dark ride portion (I enjoyed the song, but I feel like this will have more of a story flow). Plus character representation - you can go to a meet and greet with Tiana in the park so you have better connections to the other lands and actually go talk to her about her attraction, which will be cool.
Seemingly still no mention of any sort of villain, suspense or peril in this "adventure" story.
Yep... they're keeping the exact storyline a well guarded secret. Exciting, isn't it?!?!
I wish you would start with the music and fade out. I like it at the beginning but in the middle of your paragraphs I get distracted by the music.
Splash should of never been changed tianas should of had her own land
I’m really hoping that they don’t do that tacky painting on the side of the building. Absolutely tacky and unnecessary.
That called theming, as exists in New Orleans. It's based on a real place. Are you calling New Orleans unnecessary?
A mountain in New Orleans lol. Disney, you’ve lost it. What a lazy reskin 😅
Just shush up and go home, whiner... Louisiana has multiple mountains and small mountains, but still mountains
Yeah it’s a big mistake going woke.
What does "woke" mean?@@drakejdf
It's actually changed from a mountain to a salt dome, which is native to Louisiana. That's why they removed the tree on top that made it look like a mountain. They will continue to call it a salt dome or hill from now on.
@@alligator3459salt dome?!? Do you even know what happened in an actual salt dome? Blacks were held captive. Forced to work. It’s disgusting. Disney is so blind to what people actually want.
Sounds great. Thanks for the update, Fresh Baked.
Didn’t Iger recently tour this attraction and was not very impressed by what he saw??
While I am adamantly opposed to what they’ve done to Splash Mountain, I wouldn’t mind expanding the New Orleans theme, since it is a strong and very atmospheric one, and would fit the Haunted Mansion in between. However, if you don’t think that the current “woke” management won’t use this as an opportunity to get rid of Frontierland entirely, you’re not paying attention. I have zero doubt that these politically correct zealots view Frontierland as “white man’s colonizer land”, and will look for any opportunity to de-emphasize or completely eliminate it. Also think about Main Street USA for a moment, and compare that to some of the far left wacko statements that have come out of Disney management. I think it also stands out as a giant exception to their “diversity” at all costs cultural jihad. Don’t think they would ever destroy Main Street? Just wait and watch. They’re completely out of control, and unfortunately the best hope for Walt’s rapidly vanishing legacy at this point is for the company’s recent financial collapse to continue, and for Nelson Peltz, with the assistance of perhaps someone like Elon Musk, to launch a hostile takeover and put a full-stop to the “woke” garbage.
As for the cutting-edge animatronics, I’m always in favor of Disney using the best technology available, something they used to do routinely. However, I think we all know how long that will last before they break, ala the Yeti and Kylo Ren, with the ride running in “B mode” forever after that.
The Peltz hostile takeover effort aside, if I could have one wish it would be for the Oriental Land Company to take over Disney. That would eliminate both the cancer of wokeness and penny-pinching quality compromises in one fell swoop, as OLC has no use for either of them.
The Tokyo parks are widely recognized as far and away the best Disney parks in the world, and it’s because they revere and maintain Walt’s commitment to high quality, and they have zero use for divisive and frankly evil “woke” political correctness. You certainly won’t find bizarre bearded guys in drag working at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique there. The fact that I even had to type such a sentence is the best illustration of how degenerate all of Disney has become. Thank God for the Japanese and their apparent immunity to the woke mind virus.
Agreed - the best thing that could happen is if OLC took over the US parks. Who knows.
And the only thing worse than the "woke mind virus" are the screeching Karens and Kens who think we should still be living in a time when bathrooms and water fountains were segregated. But if ANYTHING good comes out of this re-theme, is all the people like you will actually hopefully STAY AWAY.
Do us all that favor, ok??
It is an extremely sad state of affairs...expect Pirates of the Caribbean next...if splash goes so will it.
😮💨🙄Dude, just say you hate black people and call it a day.... freaking writing paragraphs about "woke", Elon , Yada Yada. You def sound so fun at parties lmao What a wind bag... 🙄🙄😮💨😮💨
Disney has been short changing Disneyland due to mounting losses at the theater.
Thank you for this update!! Gosh I love these! Fresh Baked!!
I love that Critter country will probably be even better if they lean into the Critter concept. Thanks fresh baked for keeping the Disney magic alive despite the disaster that the Disney company has got themselves into. Just a little sidenote, my daughter and I just watched Cars again for the thousandth time. It is so good. . I wish Disney would go back to making simple feel good movies that don’t offend anybody. Cars is like the example of the direction. Disney needs to go again. Just make people happy, all people, so simple, good happy feel good movies lands shows.
Critters Bayou maybe but that leaves pooh in a weird spot as it doesn't fit in bayou
@@ItzAdrian02 I’m just think “Critters” as the theme. Not critters in the Bayou. Just critters. it doesn’t matter where the critters are from. Just that they’re all critters. All critters welcome. I was worried that they would get rid of Winnie the Pooh and that would be terrible.
@guinealove.986 pooh is way too popular to get rid of, he's sells lots of merch and is very popular with meet and greets. While the disneyland dark ride isn't as popular as the other pooh rides in disney Parks it's way to big to get rid of
All of that will happen once I get a job at Disney. I'll help the Disney company get back on its feet and get things back on track. Just wait and see, you and your daughter will be AMAZED and DAZZLED when you see the beautiful, blockbuster masterpieces that I've created!!!
If critters country wouldnt survive. Why havent rhey removed the sign by tianas cuz its still there
5 Tianas
5 Louis’s
1 Naveen
1 Lottie
1 Eudora
2 Mama Odie
32 Critters
47 Animatronics
I hope this new top-shelf animatronic In Tiana's is a sign of things to come for Disneyland. Disney needs to replace all the low-rent projected animatronics in the park, namely Constance Hatchaway in the Haunted Mansion and Buzz in Astro Blasters. They're embarrassingly cheap looking and obviously Disney knows how to do better. This is a perfect time for them to replace Constance while the HM is shut down for 6 months.
“Love letter” to New Orleans? I just don’t get it. An even more massive huge chunk of Disneyland dedicated New Orleans? That’s real nice to have new animatronics and all and I do hope it looks beautiful, but I don’t follow this expanded idea of changing up critter country. I sure hope they leave Winnie the Pooh’s area untouched. And am I the only one who thinks the tower should have the actual name of the ride on it versus “Tiana’s foods”?
Please get rid of background music. Just straight talk please.
Another great video. Thanks David.😀👍🏻
Tiana's bayou Adventure sucks ass
You’ve ridden the ride already?
Pooh was never a good fit in Critter Country. It would not have been a good fit for the previous Bear Country. The reason was the area was meant to be an appropriate sub-land for Frontierland, as New Orleans Square was for Adventureland and Toontown was for Fantasyland. These sub lands were purposely not given generic land names (Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Frontierland) but themes specific to an attraction. Bear Country obviously for Bear Country Jamboree, a good fit within Frontierland which was what the area was part of originally. With the removal of Jamboree and Southern theme of the flume ride, Disney lost any connection to Frontierland. If you want to talk about "rules set" then the entire area should be themed appropriate for the flume ride, the Bayou, like New Orleans Square was for Pirates. Pooh belongs next to Peter Pan, Mr. Toad and Alice. No one looks at a bunch of stuffed animals walking around in the woods and thinks critters. And Mermaid in DCA, seriously?
TODAY, new Freshbaked video?
Getting a little shakey, need a hit of Freshbaked goodness!!!
As much as I’m sad to see Splash Mountain go, it’s kinda smart that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure sort of bridges New Orleans Square and Critter Country in Disneyland.
I mean, Tiana Hill looks boring. And if Tianas has better or as good of music as Splash Mountain I will be as surprised as a treadmill in a sumo wrestler's house.
I actually think it’s clever that they’re interlinking the restaurant so much with the ride… you’ll naturally want to check it out after.
I wish they would have redone the whole ride so they could add a restaurant inside the ride like they do in pirates! I would love to eat gumbo and cornbread watch people float on by.
Is it true that Tianas adventure will be set in a salt mine where slaves are utilized?
Other youtube channels are discussing this.
Splash Mountain was falling apart - this is, of course, going to be better.
Peso Bill is near the Parade EXIT . Block that and MK will gave NO Parades for a year.
Very much looking forward to the final product :-)
Was splash mountain negative ride experience.
@@davidculver5446 Less that than I realize that Splash Mountain is gone and is not coming back, so with the new information provided, I am getting very interested in what is to come.
I have seen a LOT of rides come and go. I still miss Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland, but I also very much enjoy Big Thunder Mountain, for example. DL will always be changing.
@@angusmacdonald7187
Tomorrow land is one that must change but not Fantasy, New Orleans, Columbia, Mark Twain, canoes, rail road, Frontier, Adventure...etc. What if the ride does not bring in new customers...what if compared to splash mountain it doesn't match up.
Disney does not have unlimited assets to pay for these changes
So will you be ok with changing ticket prices, laying off cast members in park.
Eisner brought Disney back from the edge of collapse financially. Iger does not have that track record. Rides equal costs...and Disney peer parks are moving ahead.
FRESHBAKED is DISNEYLAND!!!
Hopefully its a slow ride because i think once lines are long they speed upthe ride experience
I live in Louisiana 15 minutes from a giant swamp and that theming aint it cher
Liking it before I even start it my guy!
As someone who grew up in the bayou of both Louisiana and Mississippi, This doesn't look at all like the bayou. It looks like prairies, not a swamp. Swamps are gross and do not look like the photos released. Most of the talking points by you sound like they came directly from Disney's mouth and not your own thoughts. Do better. Don't shill.
That's what England said after the battle of 1812
It always astounds me how people feel that they have the right to come into someone else's RUclips channel and tell them to "do better." David does and will continue to do, HIS videos HIS way. If you don't like HIS videos... go do YOUR videos on YOUR channel. Be sure to let us know when you've done that, so we can come in and complain about your videos. 🤦♂
@@WindowtotheMagic youtube is everybody's domain. When you prepare and post you are inviting commentary either way. We all have comments come back that isn't what we hoped for but that is publishing.
I am so very excited for this!!
Dave? Whats up man! I once worked with you at Western Capitol back in 2009 or so. Crazy to randomly see you on You tube! Hope all is well!
Hey Fresh Baked!!
If Disney just went back to animatronics all together, we’d be square. And hopefully they redo the foliage in WDW Bayou Adventure. It looks like broccoli. Or maybe they have a lot left to do? Who knows. Here’s hoping Disney gives us a win sometime soon…
Are you going to one of the Sweethearts nights this year. My Son and I are going on 1/25. We’ve never been to a Disney after hours event.
The only way this ride will be disappointing is if they rely too much on screens and not practical effects
Hell no
I have high expectations for this! from the pictures it seems that this ride has the potential to be very beautiful
Looks boring. No one wanted this re-theme. Bring back #SplashMountain.
Still singing this classic lament, eh? You say "no one wanted this..." but MANY people did. Your statement, on its face, is incorrect.
@@WindowtotheMagic Huh, every poll was against the re-theme. The save Splash petition has 100,000 while only 21,000 wanted the re-theme. Plus, it’s interesting when the 1% woke on social media hypes something up yet in the real world it fails. Strange world?! Lightyear?! The Little Mermaid remake?! The “Star Wars” hotel?! Disney is listening to the lowest of the lows that complain about everything and that’s why they are losing money. Your statement is incorrect with the real world.
Really unfortunate that we probably won’t get “are you ready” leading up to the drop
Great, informative update. Thank you.
Hi how are you and have fun
Hi! Doing well. How are you?
WHY ARE YOU USING THIS WEIRD MUSIC???
Disappointed that they aren’t updating the actual ride - the odd, super-low, laying down between other people’s legs thing was the absolute worst. I loved the look of the higher, two person seating shown in the concept art.
they would have to do an entire new track at disneyland to do that. That concept art holds true in disney world there they have the double seating tho
I LOVE IT!! Thank you for the info.
Hmm, how does the old ride fit in with the N'orlans esthetic? Extending N'orlans doesn't bother me. Well, isn't there a lot of critters in Tiana's? So the critter side matches with the "mountain", where the other side is New Orleans?
Naw’lins! That’s how you type it
The transition between Critter Country and New Orleans Square just works fine.
Im so fricken excited!!!! Its going to turn out great, EVEN if they use the screens. They'll probably use holograms or projections for the fireflies, and whatnot but I personally wont be mad at that! And as far as the front facade and decor, itll look so nice!! Itll be like New Orleans Square expanded🙌😍. I'll never be able to afford to go to wwd, but Im so excited for Disneyland! They'll keep the Winnie the Pooh area, but the way they designed Tianas, it meshes New Orleans Square AND Critter Country if you pay attention to the fine details. I understand the nostalgia aspect, but I think it'll turn out cute and nice and I see an improvement rather than a setback.
👏 Same looking forward to it
If there's 50+ animatronics and real physical sets, I'm in.
I’m not 100% sold on the suspenseful music for the newer videos. I think maybe having music is a good idea, but not a huge fan of this choice.
I agree. I love these videos- this is by far my favorite channel for Disney updates. The music, however, is totally making me unable to concentrate. 😆 I could probably handle some Disney/New Orleans style music at a lower volume. Something more fitting would be great!
@@Britneyfurg yes! Something a bit more upbeat would be just fine. I think it’s almost going for a Tomorrowland type music, but it just doesn’t fit well.
When they first made splash mountain, they thought long and hard about getting the best music. Getting the best people to make classic songs that would last forever and become unforgettable for the people who grew up with the ride. Now they advertise "real New Orleans musicians," well I guess as long as "real" people are making the music I am sure it will be as good....
Terence Blanchard, a jazz legend, is writing new music for the ride.
@@Ceelle2i like the authencity of this decision. Good call
Will be hard to beat or equal the Splash Mountain music
Meh. Not interested. Seems like a lame attempt at virtue signaling.
You should change your screen name from Zenomorph to Xenophobe. It would be more fitting of your comments.
Looks awful
😢😢😢😢 spreading wokism.
ok M0R0N. 👍
And you, @LiquidSpaceman, are spreading hatred.
❤
How much land does Tiana Restaurant need? Get rid of Peso Bill in MK change it into Hungry Bear. Get rid of Tom S.story and build Tiana on the island then use the riverboats for fine dining .
Question... who is this Peso Bill you keep mentioning?
This ride is a disgrace to the original vision set by the Disneyland of years gone by. They replaced an iconic ride with one that no one asked for. To that exent, Tiana’s Rain Forest Cafe Ride looks nothing like New Orleans, according to Disneyphiles that actually live there. All to cater to the wokey woke “modern audience” SMH
We get it, you hate black people 🙄🙄. God, you people are exhausting
Ask 20 people in the park who Tiana is and I bet you get 3 correct answers at best
Well, I HIGHLY doubt that, but you keep your negative narrative going. Especially with the endless wave of remakes, Princess & the Frog is a movie that stands out fondly to me, as it was one of the lasts breaths of "the old Disney".
If anyone hasn't seen that movie because the main characters "don't resonate with them", they're not fooling anyone.
Whats that suppose to mean?@vicdog4440
Probably more people can tell you who Tiana is than can tell you the plot of Song of the South.
Probably unless they've been on the ride. How many people know wth Mr. Toad is@Primogen16
So the 'critters' band becomes an updated, reincarnation of the 'Country Bears'.
Hmmm, imo expect the 'critters' to populate Critter Country (up to 'meet-and-greets')...
eventually taking over the Pooh ride...
A new '100 acre wood' 'tiny land' with an updated Pooh ride (merch & food too) would replace the Fantasyland theater...another place to 'rest' with the little ones right next to ToonTown.
the many adventures ride is out of place in critter country. That should have gone behind big thunder to be closer to fantasyland. If they are going to expand New orleans square into a new ride then they need to go all out and make it flow better. Taking the hungry bear and making that into Tiana Palace even if it was a quick service meal would have made more sense being closer to the ride. Disneyland just want to stick them rides in any spot they can without thinking about if it makes sense. Tommrowland is a great example of rides that don't fit in a land called tommorowland.
They should not do it period
