this is the best ride in disney history

27:04 Truth

I’ve been pointing out that I don’t think the NAACP would have approved of them using a salt mine based on Avery Island to explain the elevation rise in an otherwise flat state like Louisiana…

jurassic world is better despite of how much of a L ip the trilogy is.....but thats just me,me thinks.

They ruined the Critter Country sign by sanding down the hand carved text that was part of the board and slapped down some cheap glued on text lettering.

Agreeeee. This ride is so underwhelming.

How many people like this ride

So Winnie the Pooh and The Hundred Acre woods are apparently in Louisiana? Might come as a surprise to the English creator of those characters!

It's so funny that Tiana's bayou adventure is to be announced I mean it's the same acronym

I like Tiana’s

Splash had so much that TBA fails to do, I really hate how they destroyed all the original america sings critters, they were all great and still are more advanced than the current critter animatronics that we have with TBA. I also dislike how they destroyed alot of props and rockwork to force in the large frog animatronics for the laughing place, its so much emptier and darker than it used to be and its so disappointing. I just dont like the ride overall with how much less there is on the ride and how they got rid of the america sings critters, they were disneyland characters that should have stayed.

Props for having the courage to condemn this awful reskin. You have channels like Poseidon entertainment with no integrity. He makes his entire persona out of being critical of the company and then he completely punks out and condemns people who defend Splash. As someone whose favorite ride is and has always been Splash Mountain also, you have my deepest respect, and have more than earned a subscriber.

Im looking up salt mines and it doesnt look at all like what a real one does. Its so far away it's not even fair to call it "artistic". It's just lazy

It doesn’t suck. It’s just not as good as Splash Mountain. But, I’d expect more AA characters added in the coming years.

Too wet, splash was one of my favorite rides and I never rode it because I'm not trying to get wet and be damp/rashy all day... THEN they balanced the weight of the boats and now every seat gets soaked... Probably won't ride Tiana either :(

I think the reason they danced around the whole Salt mine thing is because slaves used to work in real salt mines and guessing with how they gaslit people into thinking Splash Mountain was controversial, my guess is they wanted to future proof Tiana by not putting too much attention into it. Also i believe Splash's music is 100% better nostalgia aside, all the music weves into the story (even more so than Tiana's), and there's more variaty in the mood, and Tiana's does not have an answer to Burrow's Lament. So Splash wins there. If i were to give the DL version any positives, it would be that they made it an easy conversion back to Splash Mountain lmao

The jarring transition at 39:15 between what we have now and what they destroyed is so disheartening. Truly a failure by Disney's part. Tiana's will attract a lot of new people to do it once, realize there's no villain/story and not ride again. Splash was the ideal ride for lapping. Can't say the same about this one.

Splash is just miles better- I've done Splash 100+ times and Tiana's about 20 times. Splash was so reridable and you got different snippets of music each time, but Tiana's is already getting boring. I don't want to hear anyone saying the animatronics are better when they aren't working half of the time. At least Splashes were consistent! Great video though, very in depth and I agree!!

The wooden structure at 29:02 is there so there is less light leak in the first dark ride sequence. So it helps that transition to darkness without having a door or something

Is it just me, or does the story for this ride reminds me of that one mission in Super Mario Odyssey where you have to find Mayor Pauline's band members.

Splash mountain is still in Japan 😅

It was a good ride with current animatronics and effects…but I still think Splash is way too iconic to be replaced. They were better off building another ride for Tiana somewhere else.

Ive been to disneland countless times, and have honestly gotten bored with just about everything, except i still like the trian and the dark rides and of course splash mountain. It really was the perfect ride. The build up from the moment you hear the owl mysteriously hooting going the seond lift hill, to the progressively darker theming during the ride, till the big drop and of course the perfect ending with the perfect music. The ride hit so many feelings and emotions, you can tell alot of thought was put into this ride by very talented Imagineers disney used to have.

Just rode it yesterday, far better than Disneyland's Splash Mountain ever was. People need to stop making videos like this for likes. Splash Mountain closed 20 months ago. It's time to move on

You deserve a much bigger viewership. Soon as I saw this I clicked. You're whitelisted on my ad block, keep it up!

at least the animatronics are better

You couldn't have put the animatronic for Mama Odie at the top of the drop - the lift is set up for it .

One thing I felt when I rode it in California is the complete lack of classic Disney charm. That was one of my favorite feelings I got from Splash Mountain and Tiana’s feels like a constant gimmick to sell merchandise (also the OG music of Splash really helped with that feeling, with all the classic Disney orchestral music).

closing the ride early every day is so annoying lmao. but I think it’s because all the animatronics keep breaking

All the figures looks like they have plastic skin Usually Disney adds a silicone skin and masks but didn’t and it’s shows The whole ride looks cheap and Disney should know by now taking shortcuts is not a good thing They should of planned it well and had a better story RIP ones of disneys classic and best thrill ride splash mountain You will be missed

"Splash Bayou" would have also worked a lot better than the name they gave it

Disney could’ve gotten it done by September but they wanted to work out the technical problems so it would be better than floridas another level which barely worked

It’s definitely better than the Florida one but still not as good as splash

18:08 - I dislike Pixar Pier as much as the next guy, but you need to put some respect on Michael Giacchino's name.

I got an ad for this ride before the video started lmao

Your videos are awesome! As a Disney fan, especially a Disney ride fan, I think you deserve way more views. I’ve only ridden the WDW version of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (or ‘Former Splash’ as I like to call it). It was fun the first time, but the second time it just felt okay, and honestly, I’m not in a rush to ride it again. It will never be as great as Splash Mountain, which I always wanted to ride, miss deeply, and will always feel hurt that it’s gone forever (except in Tokyo for now). Keep up the great work! 💦⛰️

Bayou Country does sound a bit tacked on especially since its only a small part of the land, like Critter country was never the most cohesively themed area, but its name was generic enough to still fit, Bayou Country on the other hand doesn't have that benefit. Not a good sign if the biggest improvement from Florida is thst the ride is smaller and therefore has less deadspace between the show scenes lmao. I get these animatronics were really expensive, but the florida version could have added something to make the bayou more lively, right? Also maybe I'm stupid but whats so special about the salt mine thing historically?

been looking forward to this video!!!! and blessing us with 48 minutes 🥹 thank you themeparknerd 🙏🙏🙏

it’s better than the florida one, but not better than splash 😂

Stoked for a new video! Great content as always dude, thank you!

When you are sunk down, mama tells you it is to look ‘down low’ for more band members. I only went on it once but easily understood it.

To me it just feels like Disney was afraid to tell a story. I understand the worries about Dr. Facilier but if Disney was too afraid to include him in the attraction then Princess and the Frog shouldn’t have been the source material for the retheme. As a result the ride lacks any real emotion and even though the execution is phenomenal it’s still a downgrade. I was very hopeful for this attraction and Disney let me down. Could have been the next E Ticket attraction but it just isn’t, major disappointment.

Also Disneyland and Disney World wasted the potential to tell about the 1927 Mississippi River flooding disaster which they acted like it never happened which is very disrespectful to the New Orleans relatives since 500 people died in that 1927 flood. Also they have the Salt Mine Slavery reference which to me is insensitive for the African Americans slaves who worked there against their will. I hope in the future Disneyland and Disney World Workers will revise Tiana's Bayou Adventure to remove the Salt Mine story reference and actually honor the flood victims of 1927 or move the year to 1928. Also while they're at it show us 1920s pop culture reference to silent films with Charlie Chaplin and books Winnie the Pooh, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Peter Rabbit, The Great Gasby books and play the actual 1927 flood tribute songs.

When u said that the façade of Toy Story midway mania looked worse that was nostalgia talking

Maliboomer was way more cheap and it’s not even dis ey how do u think it’s better than inside out

I grew up going to dca to and paradise pier and I loved it. I remember being scard to go on all the rides but got over my fear. But Pixar pier is a lot better. They just made everything Pixar and it’s a lot better l, also Toy Story midway mania was already there so it made sense. Also it looks so good at night with the colors. You only like it because of nostalgia

This is so bias

What next re-naming the haunted mansion to ghost host’s spooky adventure.

Disney makes so many attraction mistakes. They should establish an advisory council of truly tuned-in fans to help them understand what’s truly wanted.

they need to bring Big Grizzly Runaway Mine Cars to Disney World.
