We were determined to check out the new Haunted Mansion queue and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure under construction. And let me tell you, the sights we saw were nothing short of spellbinding.
Haunted Mansion Queue Revamp: A Spooky Upgrade
As we sailed past the Haunted Mansion, we couldn’t help but notice the construction underway for a brand-new queue. The current setup, while functional, is a bit on the temporary side. But fear not, dear readers, for Disney Imagineers are hard at work creating a larger, themed, permanent queue that will elevate the waiting experience for guests. And let’s face it, we all know how crucial a good queue can be, especially when the overflow area is in full swing.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure: A Splash of Magic
Our next stop brought us to Critter Country, where Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is taking shape. The transition from Splash Mountain to this bewitching bayou is no small feat, but the end result promises to be nothing short of spectacular. The construction site resembled a mini city, bustling with activity as the vision of this new attraction slowly comes to life.
The Latest Buzz from Disney Park’s Chairman
In a thrilling turn of events, Disney Park’s Chairman, Josh D’Amaro, was spotted at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Walt Disney World, capturing content for what we can only hope is an opening date announcement. While the exact date remains shrouded in mystery, optimistic estimates point towards a potential soft opening around Memorial Day at Magic Kingdom. However, Disney’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 3 may hold the key to unlocking this secret.
Ride Testing and Plunge into Adventure
Ride system testing kicked off in mid-February at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom, with logs once again hurtling down the 40mph, 52.5ft plunge from the top of the former Splash Mountain. The anticipation is palpable as we eagerly await the official opening date for this enchanting new attraction.
A Glimpse of Progress
Our eagle-eyed team has been keeping a close watch on the construction progress at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and we have an exciting update to share. The scaffolding has been removed from the mountain’s peak, revealing a lush landscape in its place. We are inching closer to the grand unveiling of this magical experience, and the excitement is truly contagious.
