I'm just glad my kids aren't scared by it. I think my younger ones aren't scared because they see my older ones are not sscared. Not only is it loud but that Tiki Goddess is quite menacing if you sit of the front row. Still, I vote in favor of under new mgt.

Originally Posted By beamerdog Yup, regardless of content, the show is definitely too short. BTW, I don't think it's too loud. I used to train service dogs in there and not one was uncomfortable (and loud noises do disturb them). Usually they just fell asleep. It's a little on the obnoxious side, but looking around I think most kids like it.
Originally Posted By TMICHAEL Put me in the "I liked it" column. Even after the wonderful redo at Disneyland, The Under New Management show is much more lively. And I think its great that we have 2 different shows not just another aging duplicate of the origional. Plus that menacing tiki goddess is one of my favorite characters in the park. Especially now that S.I.R. has been dumbed down for the toddler generation. I need a Villanland NOW!!!

Originally Posted By DlandDug I was unhappy that Under New Management chose to use ridicule of the existing attraction as its major point. The humor is cheap and easy-- that's what's so appealing to the kids. But the cynical tone of the whole thing was a definite turn off for me. It amazes me that the original in Disneyland is again holding an audience. It was shortened by one number-- the Barcarolle "dancing waters"-- but that section really slowed down the performances. (Audiences in 1963 were not as enamored of MTV style pacing the way today's audience is.) Under New Management is again failing to attract guests. The Tiki Room, on the other hand, has been posting record numbers. So by that standard, anyway, there's something to be said for being fearlessly sentimental.
Originally Posted By DlandDug I should add that the Barcarolle was cut long before the current refurbishment was accomplished. The Anaheim Tiki Room is benefitting greatly from an enhanced sound system, a brighter, more open patio, and a few subtle enhancements of the pre-show. Oh! And all those flaming tiki torches!

I'll have to remember to sit down with him tonight and tell him that the Tiki Room is scary and no fun." Goodness, was that necessary. I was expressing my opinion and my reason for my opinion. That venom was not needed. I am glad that your 3 year old liked it but I can assure you that I witnessed many, many 3 year olds and above, scared to tears. If that is good show for a Disney attraction then I guess I am wrong. Disney always had an element of scare in all his stuff but you usually knew ahead of time that it was scary. Haunted Mansion, Alien Encounter, and POTC (dead men tell no tales)are examples that jump to mind. My recollection of the Tiki Room was a sweet, for the most part, family show. Yes it had the "gods" getting angry but it built up to that. Again it is just my opinion, I'm entitled to it and I stick with it.

The last few years of the old show, WAY too many people were getting up and walking out. The new management, though irritating at times, did (past tense) its job of creating a pull for the younger crowd. Being from the renewal period of animated films, Lion King and Aladdin were good movies to pull characters from. Even an old school Disney lover like me can find fun in the new show. And I am gonna get one of those red feathers. I never noticed that before.
