After testing the ride with water dummies, Imagineers were the first to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom this Friday.

People Ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for First Time

@DrewDisneyDude, who previously shared the video of the water dummies testing, shared a video on X of four Imagineers in ponchos and orange construction vests in a log ride vehicle that splashed down the mountain.

The Imagineers and onlookers cheered when they reached the bottom of the drop. The crew member in the front row was filming with a phone. Another declared jokingly, “It works!”

We saw new signs around Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on Friday morning. These inform guests that the ride is not yet open, just testing.

Though Tiana’s Bayou Adventure utilizes the same vehicles and track as Splash Mountain, testing is still necessary to ensure new elements don’t get in the way of the ride and that timing is correct.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom will open this summer.
