So, Kali opened after its 6 week refurb. Guess what? It's worse now than before. In a park where show quality is ignored its no surprise, but sadly it is another nail in the coffin of the level WDW once held itself to. And so...

The new attraction-wide paved evac path was only half completed.

Rafts were meant to be deep cleaned or replaced. Drainage holes that were too small were meant to be enlarged to prevent puddles on the floor. Only ONE was replaced and TWO refurbished. The other 21 still have drainage issues and a layer of mold and mildew on the skin.

The redesign of the entrance to prevent crowding and bottlenecks didn't happen. No new signs were added. All it got was paint on the height check sign and a new umbrella.

Except fire, which is now off the list for good, every effect was meant to be fixed. Instead the lift mist still doesn't work, the logs don't swing, the truck doesn't teeter. And no alternate has been found to real flames. Plus so much more foliage has been cut down that the contrast between jungle and burning wilderness is now lost.

Queue artefacts were added, but they forgot to fix the backstory video projector which looks worse than ever.

Not bad for a newly refurbished attraction. The fact they can't have all effects working is sad. The fact they opened knowing they aren't working is pathetic. The fact they have so many issues still is unforgivable. But this is the park with Dinosaur and Everest.

Question: Is the trend at WDW that show quality is deteriorating, while the trend at DLR is that attractions are gaining new show elements and effects?

Question: Are we just going to accept this?

Question: What are we doing about it?

I boycotted WDW 10 years ago because of this.

Has anyone attempted to write to WDW management and to TDO and to Burbank about this? Don't think your letter is insignificant. They do read their mail. A campaign of letters about this subject will at the very least give them pause.

EDIT - I broke that boycott easier this year because of FLE and other new items at all four parks. However, it's now looking as if we are again back where we were 10 years ago.

Boycotted? Did you just visit WDW earlier this year?
