Attraction Poster for Disneyland's Tiana's Bayou Adventure

Love it, hate it, or somewhere in the middle, Tiana's Bayou Adventure is a popular attraction due to wonderful music, memorable characters, and an incredible ride system. Sure, the storyline is forced and rather ridiculous even unnecessary, but this is modern Disney we're talking about. 

For Disney theme park historians, the attraction will stay somewhat controversial due to it replacing Imagineer Tony Baxter masterpiece Splash Mountain. I have not been able to ride it yet at either Walt Disney World or Disneyland. When it comes to the Magic Kingdom, I'm very curious how it will fit into Frontierland's soon and coming Piston Peak and Big Thunder  Mountain Railroad.

Hey Brickey! You Hit the Nail on the Head at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion

This guy is quickly becoming one of my favorite Disney fan YouTube channels! Hey Brickey (aka Mark Brickey from Adventures in Design) takes a dive into the world of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion and shows us what's wrong with Madame Leota's new gift shop. It's not the idea... it's the execution.

While we fans sometimes moan and complain about the boneheaded mistakes the money hungry suits make at the Disney parks we love, this video episode gives cold hard facts about why the structure that separates Tiana's Bayou Adventure from the Haunted Mansion (and New Orleans Square from Bayou Country) feels absolutely wrong. 100% totally out of place and out of scale. Check it out for yourself and support this guy. He knows his stuff!
