Tia looks amazing

Summer for WDW and November or December for Disneyland (November vs. still be hot so hopefully then)

 

[IzzyB]

Looks really good. I think this will be better than some think.

 

[krazyhorrorkid]

Looks great!
Hopefully we can retire the projected faces on AA’s once and for all now…

 

[Freak]

That does look like a really good AA if Tiana.

Kinda dumb that DL’s is going to open when it will be too cold to ride.

Less lines...for me, lol

I'm good with it, gave us a few more months with Splash.

Kinda hoping for September soft opening at Disneyland but looking highly unlikely

Her AA isn't looking bad at all. I'm just glad it's not going to be a projection I feared would materialize.

Same, the projected faces were an experiment which just didn't turn out right. I'd rather have a fully sculpted and moving face from Disney which looks good in any condition, photo, video etc.

And it looks like I picked the right time to visit in mid/late August, wasn't expecting this to be open by then, so this is a nice surprise!

Are they new logs or the same as before?

Exact same, hopefully they don't sink again lol

While the new Tiana animatronic is impressive, I feel like it didn't need to be fully "animated" as far as movements go considering you're going to float right past rather than linger in place. At least it wasn't those awful projection faces.

Hopefully it turns out well, but my expectations are low.

Genuinely confused. You wanted it to be... less?

I share your confusion. This wasn't really a problem with any of the previous Splash Mountain animatronics. Doesn't it arguably need to be more animated to draw people's attention when you are passing by it? It's the same principle that necessitates the broadness of theatrical acting.

 

[IzzyB]

Also confused, don't we complain that the Yeti isn't animated and you literally fly by the Yeti. I mean the boat slowly moves by things and so having it fully animated is needed more than some other faster moving rides.

 

[Wesker69]

No confusion necessary. It depends on where in the ride it's placed. The Splash figures were minimally animated compared to this new figure.

Also the Yeti is a terrible example because that was flawed from day 1. Matterhorn did it better.

I personally get the concern about budget allocation (did we need to spend $x for an A-1000 when an A-100 would've sufficed?) as well as longevity (how is this A-1000 going to last in a wet, humid, and moldy environment over many years?)

"Yeah, yeah, but your scientists Imagineers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should"
