Why would Disneyland open a water attraction while fake snow is falling on Main Street USA?

The opening of Tiana's Bayou Adventure in late 2024 may even allow Disneyland to advertise the brand new attraction throughout the park's seventieth anniversary celebration in 2025, together with the return of the Paint the Night parade.
