The construction walls surrounding the former Splash Mountain attraction at Magic Kingdom have been replaced with taller walls to further restrict the view into the construction site of Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

Walls went up overnight following the closure of Splash Mountain, but in some places were only a few feet tall. The new walls are the full 8ft tall height.

The Briar Patch gift shop remains closed and free of walls, with signage still in place.

The restrooms near the former Splash Mountain exit remain open as normal, accessed with a narrow walkway between construction walls.

On the ride itself, the water is fully drained, and the logs have been removed.

On the plus side, those people who never got their groups called didn't miss much.

Hopefully it was just a bad day and this isn't the norm as they take it off VQ

Small thread bump, but the ride just had its worst operational performing day ever. The ride was closed for pretty much the entire day until 9:17pm due to technical issues. Note park hours today for the MK was 9am - 10pm. Only 40 BGs were called today, all at 9:17pm. This is the lowest maximum BG called in a single day. The ride may as well just stayed closed today because doubt guests who obtained a BG from the morning 7am drop sticked out for the ride for its (extremely) delayed opening. Plus night and cold weather conditions. The VQ for TBA ends in less than 5 days, so this doesn't bode well for a standby queue once the VQ is gone. VQ stats for today and more:

So how long until Iger swoops in with a hose and washes it off?

Broken animatronics yes (this is normal and expected in todays Disney), but they keep running guests through it. I will thinking of breakdowns that stop the attraction from running guests through it.

Most reliability issues are animatronic issues, not the ride itself.

The Disneyland version has been broken for 2 months and they haven’t even tried to fix it.

I just threw a number out there. I think you are right Tiana being not as popular as the previous attraction, I think the stand by would probably be (a total guess) max of 60 minutes.
