Today during the ESSENCE Fest in New Orleans, Disney announced the name and timing of the reimagined Splash Mountain attraction.
The new attraction will be called: Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
Here is the new logo for the attraction:
Disney plans to open the new attraction in the Magic Kingdom in Florida and in Disneyland in California in late 2024.
Here is concept art for the attraction:
Imagineers have spent time in Louisiana to research the area and bring the feel of the state to the attraction. They have received inspiration from exploring the French Market and the bayou, as well as consulting with academics, chefs, musicians, and cultural institutions.
In many ways, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is a love letter to New Orleans. Like the musical city that inspired this attraction, Tiana’s second act is about a community working in harmony to achieve something extraordinary. She reminds us of an immutable truth we can all relate to: ‘if you do your best each and every day, good things are sure to come your way.’ And that’s a melody we can all sing along to!”
– Disney Imagineer Charita Carter
Disney originally announced the retheming of Splash Mountain back in 2020.
The attraction will pick up where the film left off. Guests will join Princess Tiana, Naveen, and jazz-loving alligator Louis on an adventure through the bayou as they get ready to host a Mardi Gras celebration. The attraction will also include original music inspired by songs from the film.
Excited about the new Tiana attraction coming to the Magic Kingdom?
