Construction outside of Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Disneyland park is progressing as crews prepare the structure for its lush greenery and foliage.
Tiana's Bayou Adventure
An additional tarp has been installed around Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Disneyland park as the attraction's crew continues to work. The journey is opening planned for later this year. While there is no set date, it will likely be after summer 2024 when its Walt Disney World counterpart opens.
A tarpaulin was added to the left side of the mill, visible at the bottom left in the photo above. On the Florida version of the attraction, a few months ahead of construction, the facade of the mill was painted green and a tree was added. It's likely that this area will undergo a similar transformation, as the green foliage plays a major role in the overall aesthetic of the finished exterior.
Behind the scaffolding, you can clearly observe the rock structure of the mountain. Once red, it is reduced to a gray tone and will soon begin to be covered in lush greenery to fit the Louisiana bayou theme of the attraction.
Scaffolding has been added around the Tiana's Foods water tower the week of February 12which means this area could also start to receive its foliage. In the Magic Kingdomthe area below the top of the water tower is almost completely covered in greenery.
The lower part of the water tower was covered with a tarpaulin, as were the rock structures surrounding it. A crew member was working in this area during our visit.
The entire main entrance area of the attraction remains covered in scrim, with scaffolding directly behind.
Earlier this month, Disney revealed the height requirements for Tiana's Bayou adventure. Guests must be 40″ (102 cm) or taller to ride the attraction. This is the same height requirement as Splash Mountain, the former attraction replaced by Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
The holes in the rock work at the ground level we saw team workers work indoors from the beginning of the month were closed with metal cage cabling, meaning this stage of work is complete.
The holes could soon be covered with rocks. In the background you can see poles used for scaffolding around the structure.
