Tiana's Bayou Adventure Ride Through
Posted: Tuesday July 16, 2024 1:20pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom is experiencing extended downtime today, July 16, 2024.

The Frontierland attraction did not open with the rest of the park at 9 am and was yet to call a boarding group as of 1 pm. The 1 pm virtual queue did open for a couple of seconds, and the first boarding groups of the day were called around 1:20 pm.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure has experienced frequent closures during the previews and its early weeks of regular operations.

While Disney does not reveal specific details when an attraction goes down for technical reasons, it is widely thought that Tiana's Bayou Adventure is suffering from issues relating to new sensors that monitor the position of logs passing through the ride path.

I spoke with some CMs at the attraction and they all want it off Virtual Queue. As a guest that travels with a DAS user, this actually acts as a bonus LL with it being on Virtual Queue so aside from the 7 AM wakeup call, it's not a horrible thing. With that said, it probably doesn't need Virtual Queue anymore.
