Tiana's Bayou Adventure is a flume ride located in Magic Kingdom's Frontierland, replacing the former Splash Mountain attraction. The narrative follows Princess Tiana and Louis the Alligator as they prepare for a Mardi Gras celebration in the Louisiana bayou. Guests board a log boat for a musical journey featuring an animatronic cast, original compositions, and a 50-foot drop. The attraction utilizes audio-animatronics, complex lighting, and immersive environmental storytelling to represent the bayou ecosystem. It maintains the historic log flume ride system while integrating new characters from the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog. The ride concludes with a celebration scene highlighting Tiana's business success as the owner of Tiana's Palace.
