Flowers in Bloom at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in the Magic Kingdom

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom is really starting to take shape! The former Splash Mountain Briar Patch is looking more and more like a swampy bayou.

The scaffolding that once adorned the top of the former Splash Mountain has vanished, revealing a façade now adorned with lush greenery resembling a “salt mine,” which now houses Tiana’s Foods. Additionally, the scaffolding around the millhouse has also been taken down.

In recent weeks, the perimeter of the millhouse has been adorned with newly added moss and plants, lending a fresh green look to the surroundings.


The scaffolding that once encased the ride’s drop and opening has been removed, granting an unobstructed view into the mountain. However, the interior remains shrouded in darkness, revealing little to the observer.

The logs for the ride have been recycled from Splash Mountain and refurbished. We didn’t get to see any ride testing but we did notice some logs sitting in the flume.

Construction activities are also underway behind the construction barriers at the Frontierland railroad station. The exit of the station was shut down for several weeks for demolition and subsequent reconstruction. In January, the newly built stairs were unveiled while the other staircase underwent the same refurbishment process.

The old Laughin’ Place play area beneath the train station has been completely demolished. Walls have been pushed back and rolling planters are in place blocking a significant break in the concrete.

We don’t have an exact opening date for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom yet, but Disney has said it will open this summer. The same ride in Disneyland will open sometime later this year.
