Tiki Room (under old management)
I miss Iago. There, I said it!
I had only every know the Tiki Room as "Under New Management" so this year was my first chance to see the post-fire-retro Tiki Room that so many people had posted about being so much better.
My wife and I were in complete agreement, the new show was just plain boring. I walked out trying to figure out if I was just missing some magic, and no matter how hard I tried to be a purist, I REALLY missed Iago. While I know it may be seen as blasphemous, I don't think I ever want to see the Tiki Room again as it now stands, it was just that boring to everyone in my family (and we all love COP, so it's not like we could never be entertained by old-school AAs).
Just my two cents.

Agreed! I much preferred "Under New Management". I find the current version to be...boring

I enjoyed both the first time I saw them, but suffered through return visits. I know people get sentimental about their old favorites and don't want any changes made, but I wouldn't miss the Tiki Room at all.
I always look forward to seeing something new, but enjoy old favorites as well. That's just not one of them, I guess.

You should miss Iago, he was a "celeb birdy".

I am so glad to hear I'm not the only one. I quite enjoyed the "new" old version ... the one with Iago.
The "old" old one is so boring. I feel guilty skipping it, since it is supposed to be a great "classic" attraction, but it is actually painful.

Love that they kicked Iago out. That version was dreadful and hurt my soul sitting through it.
Much better being the original.

Iago and Zazu could have worked, but not the way they put them in the show. I appreciate the history of the show, but everything in Adventureland except POTC needs to be replaced or upgraded.

I love the current Tiki Room. While the under new management was ok it was not the tiki room thtvi loved since I was little. So glad it is back.

I did not like the Iago/Zazo bit AT ALL!
I did like the Tiki goddess animatronic!

I have to say that while I didn't hate the "under new management" as much as I expected to, I love the original version and am looking forward to seeing it again this summer.

I love the current version, although our youngest loved the Iago version. I can definitely see why some people think the current version is boring though, especially if the Iago one was the only one they'd seen.

Interesting to hear that the Tiki Room has been "updated" to the old version (if I am understanding this correctly). I remember seeing it as a kid in the 70's and enjoyed it, but when I returned with my own family I was so disappointed with the Iago version that we have not bothered to sit through it again during our last two visits to WDW.

It was almost fate that the Tiki Room returned to near-original status, as Iago literally exploded and caught fire one morning before the park opened back in...2012, I think it was.

The *current* show is *near* original - not quite the actual original show. There's no Magic Fountain, "in the center of the room, that is", and there's a few original songs missing. The original show was 22 minutes, and when it was brought to Florida, it was shortened to 17 minutes. The "Under New Management" show was even shorter - only about 12 minutes. "Under New Management" ranked right up there with "Stitch's Great Escape". The only time we'd visit is taking first-timers through the park. The current show is *about* that long now.
Speaking of Stitch and Tiki Room, Tokyo's version does indeed have a Stitch overlay. :/
