Having watched the video, I can easily imagine what some parts of the ride will be, like the airboat ride through the swamp, complete with AA alligators. I look most forward to fireflies (they're my thing) and hope they are in the ride (it seems like that's a 90% certainty, especially given the art released, but you never know...). I feel like this video sets it all up really well (transforming that last scene with the AA animals singing Zip and the riverboat, etc. and making that more like the Cago (?) Square she mentioned. It seems like it's shaping up nicely (the drop is the only thing I can't readily imagine - could it be trying to escape alligators? I can't quite figure it out but trust it'll work).
I love how people say the name is too generic but seem to ignore rides past and present like: Snow White's Scary Adventure, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan's Flight, Swiss Family Treehouse, Dumbo the Flying Elephant. PeopleMover. Frankly things like "Splash" Mountain and "Space" Mountain (or Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion ... there's apparently wisdom in being really clear about what to expect and not much more, lol) are what seem wholly too generic and not indicative of the inner word play we've come to expect (and love, for some of us) from Imagineers. Luckily there are some rides where they attempt to tell the story with the name, too (it's a small world, Soarin', Rise of the Resistance) but so many seem to boil down to "[IP name] adventure/journey" (Remy's Ratatouille Adventure). My sense is that a plurality (if not outright majority) of people call attractions "The Little Mermaid ride", "The Tea Cups", or "Frozen" instead of their fuller names, anyway.
