Yeah I like it. What can I say? People complain it is out of place in Adventureland and perhaps it is a bit but other than Fantasyland where can it go? It has an exotic feel to it, just like Adventureland in general.
Here is why I like it? The line is rarely long, and it is an attraction. It keeps 50-75 people occupied (riders, and ones in the lines). Maybe that doesn't sound like a lot, but add a few more rides like that and it is. All of the sudden people are spread out a bit more throughout Magic Kingdom. Let's face it, 20 million people were there in 2016. It is about double either one of the other three parks. There is rarely a crowd problem I have experienced at the other three, but there is at Magic Kingdom.
This is why I also like Country Bear Jamboree. It is tucked away, it isn't big from the outside, it doesn't take up a lot of space but 100 people can sit in there every 14 minutes. Why ever get rid of it? Or when Snow White flew the coop to make room for the Mine Train. Why get rid of it? In favour of a meet and greet?
No, no, no. Magic Kingdom for whatever reason operates on a different level than Disneyland. With Disneyland they cram in a bunch of dark rides and it spreads things out a bit. Magic Kingdom has the space but less rides. Anything would help. Adding the swan rides again around the moat for example. So yeah, I prefer them adding more rides, even the sometimes unpopular Aladdin.

Aladdin doesn't fit the surroundings, it's in a horrible location and it's a lame use of IP. Sure it's another ride but it's also another damn spinner. MK needs varying rides; like the retired Swan boats you mentioned. Aladdin deserves a better ride type. Obviously a ride that's open regardless of ride type or IP is better than a ride that's closed or worse, removed. MK needs more rides but I don't think it needs more spinners. Seeing this replaced with something else would be A-OK to me. How can you like this thing!? lol
