Grand Fiesta Tour Show Quality

This is most likely a hydraulic function.

Yeah, it could be either. I see where you’re coming from though, since hydraulics are used for heavier movements that require more lifting, rather than pneumatics which are mainly used in simpler functions that don’t require as much load.

The cart behind the dancing boy used to spin its wheels with the fiber optic lights on them. Haven't seen them functioning on my last couple trips. Still love this attraction and it's still one of my all time WDW favorites- glad the Coco overlay isn't happening. Hope this ride can get some simple TLC.... and someone please turn the fireworks sound effects back on already.

The thing the one boy was holding with spinning wheels, fiber optics, and smoke was totally working in February. I was shocked.

One of the best rides in Disney. Has a little bit of everything. Love it!

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

I would not call it one of the best, but El Rio del Tiempo was one of my Epcot Center favorites.

Well, it’s certainly one of the most unintentionally funny rides on Earth just now.

the Jose animatronic broke down recently, is that a sign of an earlier replacement for three caballeros?

You'd think they'd just lower them down to just use the animated sequence if the AA's go down...

You’re assuming the screen and or projector is still there.

I'm just holding out till we get the Coco ride. I like Gran Fiesta Tour but this will be a fantastic ride.

It's possible it's there behind the curtain...

I still stick with my original water ride into coaster hybrid for this ride. Build that now.

Coco would be a nice overlay- good for kids, enjoyable movie & music, and it fits in the Mexico pavilion. I was never crazy about Donald Duck being put in there because I thought it didn't fit and was poorly done. But, I do like the ride otherwise. Coco would even lend itself to holiday themes and a m&g for kids.

Just as long as it's similar to the one from New Groove..

Mexico can’t handle the popularity of an IP like Coco. It’s already cramped enough in the building as it is.

A reno of the inside wouldn't hurt Mexico, at all- Coco would be a good excuse to make changes. But, other than the poor bird who collapsed on stage, the ride seems to be running OK & can continue on as is with little being spent on it.

They could always extend the queue in a part of a new building that you access from the inside of the pyramid but can't see from the outside of it.

I’m thinking Jose’s disappearance is apart of the whole “appropriate cultural representation” Of ethnic characters we heard about a few months back. As talented as Rob Paulsen is, he’s just not Brazilian enough.

They wouldn’t. That requires them to spend more money.

true plus I think the only way they could adequately do it would be getting rid of the restaurant for a revamped enlarged queue, and that would be a travesty. Or other major redesigns of the building. At the rate they are going with this park though they seem to be out to undo everything so nothing would surprise me.
