The animatronic looks amazing!

Just to restate what I already said: it’s a great looking figure, but she looks like a woman in her 40s rather than the youthful princess she is supposed to be.

Hmm. You’re not wrong. At least from that particular photo, she looks like she’s about to pack up the kids in the van for a trip to soccer practice. 
Maybe in context, it will make more sense.

She looks like Claire Huxtable

I think a lot of the more recent animatronic faces are in this style – specifically Anna and Elsa in FEA. You need to just glide on by and not loot too closely at just the face.
I can’t wait for this ride to open! I’m very excited to see what they’ve created and to hear the music. I’m also hoping for a beignets stand nearby (even if it would be a mess).

Hmmmm, wonder if it will be open for Juneteenth? If so I may have to rethink my Hollywood studios after hours vs MK extended hours…
Bery excited for this! Seeing her in motion, I don’t think she looks old.

To me, all of the artwork for the “explorer Tiana” looks like the animatronic and less like the original movie. I’ll be happy either way.
My 6 year old daughter loves Tiana and I think if I showed her this picture with no context, there’s no way she knows who this is.
I’ll withhold judgement until the entire context of the ride is out, but I think Princess Tiana would be a better draw than business woman Tiana.

Yes - that makes a lot of sense! I hope some of the artwork is more “arty” and less animation.

Ooh, interesting point. Can you try? I am.so curious about the experiment!

You are spot on! She really looks a lot older than I would have thought they’d make her look.

Was just coming to share. I thought they were going to be re themed to boats?

Maybe they’re just using an old log to test the flume while they’re working on the new ones.

That looks different, more contoured than the original ones
Also just last week the thing was dry dry dry and looking light years from being complete

Assuming it doesn’t become ILL (with 7DMT switching to LL), this ride becomes the toughest LL in MK, right?
I suppose I could see it becoming ILL and 7DMT becoming LL in which case 7DMT would undoubtedly be the toughest LL at MK (probably 3rd toughest overall after SDD and Remy).
