I was tempted to do the same, but stuck it out just so I could get the full effect of that waste 15 or 20 minutes of my life as it was meant to be. ughhhhh What a turkey!
Originally Posted By hightp I didn't care for Tarzan, either. I was expecting a show more like the other Broadway styled shows (with a story), and was bored with the the format. The kids liked the roller skating monkeys, and the flying on ropes, but there was too much just standing around singing.
Originally Posted By leemac At least Tarzan was better than the awful Jungle Book show they had in the theater originally. I must admit I have always prefered the Paris version of the show. It will be interesting to see what replaces it. I wonder if it will be something non-Disney like Mystic Rhythms at Tokyo DisneySea.

This has been my favorite live show since Hunchback closed - I'll miss it. That said, the people leaving the theater probably started leaving when Terk came out - that was a pretty lame segment, even for me.
Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom Why not replace it with more animals. Its suppose to be an animal park, let the animals be the star of the show. I was on vacation last week and spent a day at 6 Flags over New Jersey. Their new White Tiger show was incredible. They had tigers and preformers, music. All in all a realy good show. I don't understand why Disney seems so bent on having these character preformances in an attempt to sell more DVDs. Enough is enough with all these shows at DAK. Lets get back to the animals please.

Originally Posted By MELANIEWDW I will admit that Tarzan is not my favorite show. To much "show" not enough Tarzan. Tarzan was only on stage for a fraction of the show; that to me was a huge let-down. If the Nemo stage show idea comes through maybe it will be more entertaining.
Originally Posted By MinnieSummer PLEASE NO NEMO SHOW!!!! We have Nemo taking over the Living Seas at Epcot and while I think the overlay was appropriate, I don't think it would fit in AK. And besides, I like Tarzan Rocks. The dancers are incredible -- in fact there's one guy (he's in green vines) that has the most amazing technique I've seen in a long time. I'd love to know where he did his training.

Originally Posted By trailsend I always considered the people who left early from this performance or any performance just don't have fun anywhere! These performers were incredible. A very entertaining show, loud, action, trapeze stunts and great music. You can see animals everywhere at DAK; this was not supposed to be Lion King, just a fun show!! Will miss it!!
Originally Posted By WeirdJohn I have to agree that Tarzan was not a good show. My parents and I tried it when it first opened, and we left early as well. That was the only Disney show we ever did that at. It was just very boring. Though I will admit that after seeing the Lion King show, anything would be boring. That is the best show in WDW hands down.

Didja know she even went back stage, once, an' barged inta the sap's dressin' room, stealin' his LOIN CLOTH?! Ta this DAY she's got it all wrapped up 'round her fool head!
