New Details Revealed for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

New Details Revealed for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

New details have been revealed for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure! The new attraction is replacing Splash Mountain and NOLA.com has shared more information about the attraction.

A NOLA.com reported recently toured Tiana’s Bayou Adventure with Imagineering executive creative director Ted Robledo.

Robledo kicked off his tour in the queue courtyard of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, featuring new flagstone pathways and a mural by Louisiana artist Malaika Favorite. The two-story barn, a Splash Mountain relic repainted yellow, serves as the backdrop. According to Robledo, this courtyard sets the scene for the adventure, akin to a movie setting where understanding the location is crucial.

The first floor of the barn, accessed by guests in the queue, will host the offices of Tiana’s Foods. The attraction’s backstory reveals that Tiana established the co-op following the events of “The Princess and the Frog.”

Barn-adjacent poles will uphold speakers transmitting a 1920s radio show, featuring reimagined classic New Orleans tunes performed by a group of local musicians handpicked by Grammy winner Terence Blanchard, a New Orleans musician.

Joining forces with Malaika Favorite and Terence Blanchard, Disney enlisted P.J. Morton, Maroon 5’s keyboardist and another New Orleans native. Additionally, the family of the late Queen of Creole Cuisine, Leah Chase, who inspired Tiana, is part of this collaborative endeavor.

“This is our love letter to New Orleans, and in that spirit, art is everywhere,” Robledo said. “The city as a place is as important as a character. The story reacts to the place. We’re starting to hint at that in the queue, to try to craft that love letter to New Orleans in every way possible.”

In the loading zone of the attraction, NOLA.com observed cranes lifting Tiana’s Foods crates. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will utilize the identical ride vehicles and track from Splash Mountain. The NOLA reporter had the opportunity to stroll along some sections of the track, highlighting the replacement of all artificial vegetation from Splash Mountain with native Louisiana plants such as cypress trees, marsh grasses, and Spanish moss.

“This will be where we first see ‘the critters,’ as we’re calling them,” Robledo said, referring to the ride’s new animal band.

Multiple Tiana animatronics are set to engage directly with guests, employing cutting-edge technology akin to the high-tech versions seen in the recent World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland, as noted by NOLA.com. Distinguished by advanced physical faces, these animatronics deviate from the previously favored projected screen faces that were prevalent in Disney a few years ago.

The Disneyland Park iteration of the attraction will feature identical Audio-Animatronics, maintaining consistency across most facets of the experience.

Inside Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, new additions encompass a duo of stone arches spanning the ride flume. However, certain elements of Splash Mountain’s architecture, such as rocks and boulders, will be retained.

Regarding the removal of the tree from the summit of Splash Mountain, Robledo explained, “We needed some real estate there to fit the added show magic.”

The tour finished just before the climactic scene, previously known as the Laughin’ Place. Robledo said of the surprise scene, “I’ll just say it’s got a lot to do with magic. It’s a magical moment that happens down there.”

Are you looking forward to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opening later this year?

Ravensburger Offers an Early Glimpse into Disney Lorcana TCG’s 2024 Lineup

Today, Ravensburger, a renowned publisher of award-winning board games, premium toys, and puzzles, has revealed a segment of the 2024 Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game series. This includes the introduction of new products, details about competitive events, and announcements regarding Organized Play activations. Ravensburger also disclosed the official on-sale dates for the four sets scheduled to launch throughout the year.

“Disney Lorcana TCG has struck a chord with players, collectors and fans around the world and we’re so grateful for the support. It has proven to be a fantastic entry point for first-time TCG players, and we will continue to do everything in our power to make the product available at MSRP pricing,” said Filip Francke, Global Head of Games at Ravensburger.

“As we move into 2024, we will continue to support our growing and diverse community through new discoveries for collectors, organized play and competitive events for players and new products that help beginning fans take their first steps into trading card games. We’re only just getting started, but consumer feedback and industry data supports our belief that this game will be around for a very long time.”

The Disney Lorcana TCG is rolling out a fresh standalone product known as Disney Lorcana TCG Gateway, a step-by-step learn-as-you-play experience crafted to gently guide newcomers into the game and TCG scene. This ultimate beginner’s introduction to Disney Lorcana TCG comes complete with everything for two players to dive right in: two 30-card basic Disney Lorcana TCG decks, a game board for two players with character standees, rulebooks, player’s guides, and extra cards that players earn to enhance their decks as they grasp card types and gameplay.

After navigating through Gateway, players will have constructed two standard Disney Lorcana TCG decks ready for play with friends. Gateway hits the shelves on August 9, 2024, at a retail price of $24.99 USD. It’s a two-player game suitable for ages 8 and up.

Exciting news awaits seasoned players in 2024 with regard to competitive and organized play events. Ravensburger is set to kick off an official competitive circuit in North America and Europe come May 2024, known as Disney Lorcana Challenge.

These events commence at a regional level, allowing players to vie for spots in the North American and European Championships. Top performers will secure invites to the World Championship scheduled for early 2025. The top four players from each event will qualify for their respective regional Championships.

Additional details include:

North American and European Championship events are in the works for the 2024 Holiday season. Players can qualify by participating in regional Challenge Events, with an additional opportunity to qualify at the event itself.
The 2025 World Championship will be an invite-only competition held at a larger open event.

Stay tuned for more information on the Disney Lorcana TCG full event schedule, registration, rules, prize cards, and other prize details, to be revealed on the Disney Lorcana TCG official site (disneylorcana.com) this March.

At the local level, Ravensburger will also debut a new type of in-store Organized Play event – Set Championships – starting in April 2024, after the release of the Into the Inklands set. Select Disney Lorcana TCG Organized Play–approved locations may host an Into the Inklands Championship, which includes a unique Enchanted Stitch – Rock Star Promo card that is only available as a prize at the Into the Inklands Championships.

The top two players at the event can also win a playmat featuring the new Stitch – Rock Star artwork. Details for how retailers can host an Into the Inklands Championship will come in late February 2024.
