I would love it if the Offenbach number were restored. But they won't. That's pretty much a given. At least I still have the original album and the CD versions. I can always pop a tape in the VCR and watch the full-length original from 1997.

I said essentially the same thing, farther back and on other boards. However, I will not thank them until I see what they do to it. TDO has a reputation for ruining classics. How could I possibly be happy at this point in time if Disney won't say one way or the other? I don't think you read...

Ah, one of those made-up names from the "Disneyland Forever" CDs. "Hawaiian War Chant" is all one song, but for the Forever series they split it up into two parts. Instead of simply calling it Part One and Part Two, they made up an exotic-sounding name. I don't think they wanted people to...

"Tiki Room Luau"? There was never a 'Luau' in the show, nor a song about a Luau. The musical numbers were/are: "In The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room" "Barcarolle" (Deleted Offenbach number) "Let's All Sing Like The Birdies Sing" "Hawaiian War Chant" "Farewell and Aloha" "Heigh Ho"...

That's a mere technicality. Why people are insisting the current Disneyland version is not the original show? It is the original show, only edited down to 12 minutes. All of the content of the current version came from the original 17 minute 1963 version. All of the current version was in...

Again, rather obvious that all they would need to do is duplicate the show master, just as was done originally in 1971 with the master tape reels. Unfortunately, it will not be the original show, only something "reminiscent" of the original show. In other words, a brand-new show that will...

Must have missed something. However did we get on the topic of FastPass in a thread about the new Tiki Room show? Was that a show that had FP? (I don't know, as there was no such thing as FastPass the last time I was there in 1997.) I don't ever recall any serious wait times beyond 20...

Oh, well that much most Tiki Room fans already knew. While it's a technical, behind-the-scenes improvement, it didn't fundamentally change the show itself (beyond the editing). I misinterpreted "Its digital and ready to go." to mean that: The show itself was going to be a digital...

Strange; the portion I quoted shows that it came from kucarachi, not you Spike. Initially, it didn't quote correctly due to a mistake in kucarachi's post, but I fixed it right away. Sorry, I didn't mean to appear to be responding to you.

The Enchanted Tiki Room opened at Disneyland on June 23, 1963. It's only 48 years old, not 55. It was the first Audio-Animatronic show in the world, and it is still running today (albeit in a shortened version). There certainly must be something to this popular Classic, otherwise it would...

What do you mean by digital?

Don't get too excited just yet. Disney says only that it will be "reminiscent" of the original show, not that the original show itself will be returning. I must say I'm shocked at how many here can't remember the original show! It was virtually identical to the orginal in Disneyland, but...

Totally freakin' awesome! Almost makes it worth putting up with that awful queue.

It's not a "close minded opinion" at all. I wanted to like the new queue, but I don't. It doesn't fit in at all with the rest of the attraction whereas the 2007 enhancements fit the attraction perfectly with few complaints. They had the chance to make something that was well done and fit...

Not likely. This one, if it comes off as good as the claims reported so far, will not likely get too many complaints, if any. They are existing characters being plussed. They are being given more movement and abilities not possible with the original stick puppet figures. Completely different...

Well, the Gracey, Davis, and Atencio stones are copies. The originals were fiberglass, and these new ones are stone. Well, reportedly stone, but more likely a moldable, stone-like product. Perhaps concrete with some kind of stone finish veneer. (I forget now which thread on which board...

No, it's original. Uncle Myall was kind of hidden in back of the others before, but it was there.

Never fear! These are new copies of the original headstones. They can easily be duplicated and replaced should the need ever arise.

Agreed. I don't need to see it in person to know that most of what's presented in the new queue addition is totally out of place. Just as I didn't need to see the 2007 additions in person to know that I liked most of them. TDO has a tendency to plus things that never needed it, such as...

I think she sounds like JoAnne Worley. Overall, I like most of what I see. However, I think the whole thing should have been at the end of the ride with the other crypts, not before you go in.
