Disney recently announced that The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) is indeed under new management and will be renovated to "reshape the attraction into a version reminiscent of the original show." Oh. Em. Gee! Details are sparse at this point, but maybe the time spent racial stereotyping will be chorter and chorter.
What's more exciting to me is that Disney is returning a busted attraction to its roots, in the hopes of finding success with a new generation. To quote Steven Tyler: waitaminute waitaminute, I love that idea.
Please, dear Tiki Gods, let's continue this trend and resurrect other long-lost favorites like Cranium Command, Horizons and ... pleasepleaseplease Journey Into Imagination. Because as they say, if it ain't broke don't fix it. But if you fixed it and then broke it because you tried to fix it, at least have the good sense to get some superglue and put the pieces back together.While we're at it, let's just dump the whole resort in the Way Back Machine and party like it's 1989. Admit it, that would be awesome. I mean, The Dreamfinder made an appearance at Destination D. That has to be a sign that Dr. Nigel Channing has just been a bad dream, right?
Right?

I am really excited to experience this attraction as the original ride was intended because I don't remember it from back then. Can't wait to see it!
Welcome to the Magical Blogorail. I'm on the Orange Loop (which is up and running today). I'm following your blog now.
I'm happy about the Tiki Room, too. I wish they'd fix Journey Into Imagination, but I honestly doubt we can even think about it until after the Fantasyland expansion is done.
Right!
YAY! This was my brother's favorite attraction for a long time... we were very excited with the "new management" but it lost appeal after we saw it once or twice. I loved the older version (esp. when there was a storm in the room!).
And I'm forever with you on Journey into the Imagination!
I'm glad they are finally doing something about the Tiki Room. I completely agree with you on Journey Into Imagination...they tried to fix something that didn't need fixing. I wish they would bring back the original.
You would thing that they would somehow listen to so many Disney fans that are constantly complaining about this ride! I'm hopeful that one day Dreamfinder will be back in the ride!
