News Liki Tikis refurbished

[GhostHost1000]

I like the tikis but without them it seems to provide a larger walking area. When they are squirting water most people try to avoid being near them

If I had to pick, I vote they remove the carpets ride. That would make a bit more room. LOL

Turning a decorative water feature into a functional stroller parking and bench rest area, per the image above. Not sure if it's more walk room though. Still, it appears to be needed. The Leaky Tikis might be gone for good. Though if it's space they're concerned about; why not remove Aladdin?

They removed the old RC boats in this general area a few years back and now is stroller parking too. The Tiki area is pretty small by comparison. They could probably just turn of the spitting feature and leave the misting on. They already have the spitting camels near here too.

They already have the spitting camels near here too.

Possibly another reason why they were removed. Redundancy.

Thank you @dreamfinder and @Monorail_Red_77.


Somehow I was thinking tiki torches, not tiki statues, and was trying to figure out how they were leaking and why it would take so long to refurbish them.

It still doesn't really make sense why it's taking so long. It actually makes no sense. I know this is gonna sound a little doom and gloomy, but it wouldn't surprise me if this is a never ending refurb.

YES! or find another place for it instead right smack in the middle of the flow

I also wish they could widen the area between small world and peter pan but not sure how they could do that without multi-level queues

Here's the location. To my memory it has been several months. I have always loved these leaky Tikis.

Here's a pic of my father and I back around 1982.

This was the area as of Apr 22.

Here's the same area as of Feb 25. Tiki's should be on right just under the Jungle Cruise sign.

Ya know, they were not in their normal location...

When we were there at the beginning of March, they were across the path in your third picture, facing the path as you walk in from the hub.

Maybe they moved them?

If they were gone for good I doubt those boxes would still be around.

At least you're smarter than I. I immediately went with the Tiki birds, and pictured one of those little suckers pee-ing and envisioning the surprise of the guest sitting beneath it! Maybe because I'm a gynecologist and leaky bladders are my business

The rhino is back on the Jungle Cruise. People said that was never coming back either. So pessimistic. If they didn't want to maintain them anymore they would just leave them turned off in place. Instead they took them off for a well deserved refresh.

I think they are gone as well. Haven't seen them in years. I do miss the tiki drumming.

I doubt this is just a refurb. It looks kinda permanent to me.

It’s a refurb. Those are temporary boxes where they are installed.

They’ve only been gone a few months

 

[zakattack99]

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the leaking tiki's stopped leaking a while ago. I do not remember them doing their thing this past September, and it was HOT. Hope that it is a refresh and their back to spraying guest real soon!

They keep removing the quirky touches that make MK unique.... this is just another small example....

It’s a refurb. They will be back. So it’s an example of them maintaining the quirky touches that make MK unique.

It’s a refurb. It’s a refurb. It’s a refurb.

It's just a temporary refurb.
