Bring Back the Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management


Bring Back the Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management
The Issue
This attraction is an updated version of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, which closed on September 1, 1997, for renovations and updating. It reopened on April 5, 1998, as The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management, featuring Iago (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried) and Zazu (voiced by Michael Gough) from Aladdin and The Lion King, respectively, as the new owners of the Tiki Room. The show featured all of the same audio-animatronic birds, flowers, and Tiki gods, but now included Iago and Zazu, plus a new evil Tiki goddess named Uh-Oa, who disrupts the usual Enchanted Tiki Room storyline after Iago upsets her. On January 12, 2011, a small fire broke out in the attic of the attraction. It was rumored that the Iago figure that first interrupts the show was severely damaged by the small blaze, but the cause of the fire and the extent of the damage was kept quiet while under investigation.
I think this show should be brought back to Disney World, no matter what anyone thinks of it. I think the show is great since my first time seeing it when I was a kid. I'm sure everyone misses the humor in that show as well.
This show and its entertainment has to return to its former glory. I feel that now should be the time to take action because if we do, everyone will realize how much they need the show. I hope we all get to see that we need that show to be back!
