We’ve been watching the progress on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for nearly a year now in Disney World.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Splash Mountain closed in 2023 to make way for the new Princess and the Frog-themed log flume ride, and construction has been moving along quickly. We’ve seen sneak peeks at what the ride will look like, from concept art to scale models, but now we’ve got one more hint about what we’ll find inside!
Recently, NOLA.com did an interview with Imagineers working on the project at Disney World, taking a walkthrough of the attraction. During that walkthrough, Executive Creative Director of Walt Disney Imagineering Ted Robledo confirmed that the ride will feature some nods to its predecessor.

In addition to using the old ride vehicles and the same ride track, Robledo hinted that there would be a few “subtle nods” to Splash Mountain throughout Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Much of the interior ride architecture has been retained, including rocks and boulders, but the vegetation has and is being replaced with flora and fauna native to New Orleans.

We’ll be interested to see what these Splash Mountain Easter eggs are when the ride officially opens as Tiana’s Bayou Adventure! Currently, it’s scheduled for an opening sometime this year, although no date has been specified yet.
