After more than a year of retheming, Disney has finally unveiled its first ride footage of the upcoming Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Taking the place of Splash Mountain at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom and Disneyland, the Princess and the Frog-themed log flume ride will make its grand debut in Orlando on June 28 before opening in Anaheim later this year.
With its second online episode of “We Call It Imagineering” on Wednesday evening, Disney showed footage of musician PJ Morton, who created a song for the attraction, riding the attraction for the first time.
The results of Disney’s extensive retheming look pretty great so far, particularly the animatronic work with the ride’s grand finale.
And don’t worry, the ride retains its signature drop that makes it one of Disney’s more thrilling attractions. You can see the footage around the 16-minute mark.
We’ll know soon enough how parkgoers feel about the revamped attraction once it opens at the Magic Kingdom next month.
From an early glimpse, it looks like a swell time.
