OFFICIAL: The Enchanted Tiki Room to Change


After having waited months and months, following the fire that destroyed parts of the show, back in January 2011, all the rumors about the "Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management" were absolutely true. The classic attraction is coming back later this year, around mid-August, and it will be different. Read what has been posted on the official Disney Parks Blog:



Enchanted Tiki Room: Classic Attraction Transforms This Summer

Walt Disney Imagineering announced earlier today at D23’s Destination D: Walt Disney World 40th event that The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) at Magic Kingdom Park is already undergoing changes behind closed doors that will reshape the attraction into a version reminiscent of the original show.

     The Walt Disney World attraction, originally called Tropical Serenade, has been entertaining guests since the theme park’s opening day on Oct. 1, 1971. Its winged hosts, Jose, Fritz, Pierre and Michael, led 200 other birds, tikis and flowers in an entertaining musical Polynesian revue. Tropical Serenade was reshaped into The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) in 1998, with the addition of Iago (from “Aladdin”) and Zazu (from “The Lion King”).


     The attraction was based on Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room, which opened at Disneyland park in 1963. Its debut marked a huge milestone in Disney history, becoming the first attraction to ever feature Audio-Animatronics figures – a breakthrough that took 10 years to develop.
The latest version of the attraction, which will be called Enchanted Tiki Room, will debut at Magic Kingdom Park later this summer. Be sure to check the Disney Parks Blog for future updates on the attraction’s progress.



Isn't this one of the best announcement we wanted to hear? Very, very few people really enjoyed the old "Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management", as it was a ruined version of the original attraction, because of the addition of some very annoying parrots, especially Iago. Among the rumors on the refurbished attraction, we've heard that they may include an interactive queue area, as well as multiple show scenes that change every time, just like Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. Will these rumors turn out to be true? There's only a way to know: wait until August!
