Was just on it Thursday and the entire theater was full. In fact, it has been the past couple of times I've seen it.

Being a local, and frequenting this attraction I can vouch for the fact that every show I've been to (which is once a month) has been at least 3/4 full.

Seasonal crowds. When other queues are more manageable people go to more popular attraction and reride those. I don't hate the attraction but that space could be infinitely better utilized.

I'm local too. Live in Windermere and can confirm your comment.
As usual Jt, try actually visiting the park before spouting your typical lines of b#ll#cks....

I'm at MK at least once a week and can say that Tiki Room is at least half full every time.

What is your source for the Tiki room attendance numbers? There has been a lot of debate about this so it would be great to see the actual numbers.

Not really. Someone posted a Google overhead shot earlier in this thread. It is part of a much larger complex.
Best of luck there....

No matter what the numbers can't be that big because the attraction has limited throughput. One of its many flaws.

WDW and the Mai Kai in Ft. Lauderdale are about the only quality tiki available in Florida.
The Polynesian had so much of its charm ripped out with its last revamp and now the possibility of losing Tropical Serenade...
This officially sucks for tiki culture.

246 I think. Somewhere in the 200's.

How many shows per hour?

That, I have no idea.

You would have to ask Martin. I am sure it is higher than the DL version because show elements are so scaled back.Time to free those birds and progress with the times.
Disneyland is a short flight for the truly nostalgic.

The show appears to be around 11 minutes based on some YouTube videos. So lets say worst case 3 shows per hour, that's 738 guests per hour. By comparison the theoretically capacity of the Frozen ride is 1000 per hour.

They "progressed with the times" on the Under New Management version which was horribly dated before it even made it off the script page.
Progress isn't always progress and it certainly isn't always a good thing.

You guarantee that kids today love it? Some certainly will, but times have changed, for better or worse. This was impressive tech for the 60's, kids are tougher to impress today. My kids can take or leave it, but that doesn't mean I think it should go.
Personally I don't love the current version either, but I know many who do. Classics like this should always exist in some form, even if tweaks need to be made. Not sure what they're considering here, but there are so many others that should be prioritized over this in my opinion, especially going into the 50th.
