While on the boards here, there seems to be a mixed reaction to the Tiki Room attraction. Some like the new version, others stand by the original, while it seems others don't like it at all. So which one are you and why????

I definitely have to go with the original. The new one is kind of annoying.

I agree completly. Somethings don't need to be changed.

I loved the original but I will admit that it could have used a tad more spice to it...just not what it has now!

Under new management is GHASTLY!
Bring back "Let's all sing like the birdies sing" sing-along.
Stricly speaking, I don't want the original, but the current DL version, which is slightly improved (as I understand - I haven't seen it).

I absolutely love love the original Tiki Room some of my earliest memories of Walt Disney World is of that show. I do agree that it needed some love, some modernization I think would have done wonders in my opinion.
I despise the 'Under New Management' version however. It's a monstrosity in my opinion, they took an original unique attraction and just slapped some annoying current characters into it and called it a day. Evey trip I think it can't be as bad as I remember and I decide to give it a try sometimes I just listen to the barker bird in the queue and then make a quick exit once I get in the theatre, sometimes I make it all the way into the theatre and walk out when I realize it really is as horible as I remember. Maybe I'd hate it less if I got to hear the entire Tiki Room song once through but those few bars they give us aren't enough.
I can't wait until I move to Arizona next year and can drive over to Disneyland and finally get to see the beauty of the original version without awful Iago and Zazu

In '77 I saw the original WDW version. Loved it.
As the (ahem!) years went by and I was lucky enough to visit multiple times with my parents, it was always a favorite.
Then....they killed it.
I even gave it a second chance on a solo trip to WDW once.
I felt bad at the time I could have spent anyplace else in the MK, since I had only the one day.
In 2007 I was lucky enough to do a solo trip to DL for a day with a business trip.
I had to dab my eyes when I saw how great the refurbishment was at DL.
Though a just tad different than the original-original, it felt as if Walt was right there smiling.
I sang. I smiled. I laughed.
I saw the wonder of people of all ages enjoy that show.
I saw it 3 times that day. I should have seen it more.
Wow. Just Wow.
WDW really needs that refurbishment.

The biggest problem with Under New Management is the fact that it was designed to make fun of the original, which now nobody remembers at WDW. It has more than outlived it's welcome and should be replaced. I'd love to see either the DL version or even the Stitch Tokyo version (of course using one of the SGE AAs, causing it's demise 
over what we have now.

Definitely the original. Needs something else but please, no more stitch. Bring in the DL version and put Walt Disney's name on it like CoP
