Since my first visit to the World in 1982 Adventureland was and stayed my favorite land in the MK. But IMHO it lost a lot in the last 20 years, with the only real addition since PotC in the 70ies! being a, sorry folks, mediocre dumbo-clone which not only made the once much more spacious central square overcrowded but also brought an additional touch (Arabia) that doesn't fit to the already surrounding theming at all because there are know to much different styles on a too small area.
Then there was the Tiki Room with it's "new management" which completely spoiled a classic attraction (and Walts favorite btw), a refurb of PoTC that was decent but not exactly a major change and..well that's it. In more than 30 years only one minor attraction was added that doesn't even fit in properly plus one refurb of a major attraction and one "plussed" by destroying it virtually.
The JC is of course still a classic and I love it but it is becoming outdated and that cannot be compensated by the skippers becoming more louder and annoying (the last 2 rides on JC were terrible, they were shouting all the way).
And even Carribean Plaza which had a nice well "Carribean" feeling with it's steeldrum bands was turned into a shop.
So I get to the conclusion that Adventureland seems to be the least favorite land in MK, at least concerning the management and imagineers, with no major addition in more than 3 decades!. As I love it I would like to know if most of you also consider AL a more secondary land that is not worth caring about or if you share my opinion, that it is perhaps the land with the most atmospheric immersion in all of MK and deserves a better treatment or even a Fire Mountain.
