Disney's Worst Attraction Update Ever: The Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management

Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room fell victim to the worst update Disney has ever applied to a ride. The Tiki Room: Under New Management. This awful ride... show... attraction? ran for 13 years at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Ugh

We really enjoyed your video and were so pleased to see my husband’s Aunt Millie, the blonde lady, working on the Birds. She was an original Castmember hired when the Park opened and one of her jobs was working in the ETR from inception bringing the birds to life. Her husband Ed Tachauer also worked at Disney and the both retired after 25 years. This is the first time we have seen her in video thanks for sharing.

[@CloverLoop]

Thank you so much for sharing your personal connection to the video. It's heartwarming to hear about Aunt Millie and Ed's Disney journey.

Under New Management was my first experience of the tiki room and wow it was bad. I'm so glad they returned to the original. I just miss the tiki God that appeared

[@CloverLoop]

Under New Management was like a bad remix of a classic song! Uh Oa was so cool tho right?!

[@CECmass0325]

Tiana’s Bayou adventure is going to be a gigantic failure

[@rosariobono438]

Wdym? They’re replacing over a hundred recycled animatronics with top of the line custom built animatronics, and they completely redid the finale room. It’s not even open yet and your saying it will be a failure on the only premise being it’s not splash mountain anymore

[@MoiveGuy24]

It’s failing badly, I rode it a few days ago, there’s a lot of empty spaces in the beginning of the ride when you first go inside the mountain

[@jandalight1598]

Incredible production and work! Can’t believe you only have 95 subs?!?!

[@CloverLoop]

Hey, thanks a lot for the shoutout! Hope you stick around for more content!

[@viaxxl]

1:16 considering someone superglued themselves to splash mountain before it closed, I wouldn’t be too surprised if this happens to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure 💀💀

RIP Gilbert Gotfried

His voice could wake the dead, now he'll be telling jokes in heaven.

[@a.t.m873]

I'm all for disney rides changing, but that was a disgrace.

[@ryeguy624]

I loved this one from my memory lol

[@CloverLoop]

"From my memory lol" - sounds like it left quite an impression on you!

[@alancranford3398]

I managed to experience "Under New Management." If that was the worst retheming, I can claim that I've seen the worst. I've experienced the Tiki Room in Tokyo before it was rethemed, in Florida (the original and the Under New Management), and in California. The original computer system filled the basement--now a tablet has more than enough computing power to run the show.

[@kimberlyrose8483]

I loved the tiki room under new management better than the way it is now!

[@gabrielrush3492]

As they will leave the original one with the special effects on the windows in Florida, they will change from Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room to Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) in California without the fire incident, like in Florida of 1/11/2011. Especially the logs of Splash Mountain in Florida that sinks except for in California and Tokyo that were unsinkable.

[@CloverLoop]

Thanks for pointing out the unique aspects of the Disney parks' attractions!

[@BruceBergman]

And was meant to be a Restaurant Show. That has bathrooms on the front porch and a Kitchen Serving Line in the back room from(What was the) Jolly Holliday Bakery . And Tropical Hideaway next door. 😊

[@moirad3895]

What about Tiana’s rainforest cafe adventure 💀

[@rosariobono438]

It’s not even open yet.

[@bewarebewear1507]

Tiana retheme is one im completely against, it wasnt necessary to change splash

[@giovannymendez321]

Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from The Lion King

[@MoiveGuy24]

I liked this version of the tiki room ! It was cute with Zazu and iago

[@zeta802]

One of my all time favorite rides. I love the Tiki Tiki Birds, the original version of course.

[@CloverLoop]

The Tiki Tiki Birds are like the OG influencers of the theme park world, right?

[@Imaginationdiva016]

The video’s excellence aside, love your earrings - really pretty ^^

[@CrazyManhog]

COUGH TIANAS BAYOU ADVENTURE

[@yungvofficial]

Yes.

[@4541studios]

You mean Tiana's ripoff rainforest cafe abomination

[@Its_Burrito_Boy_Plus]

So true lmao

[@viaxxl]

Definitely

[@jenniferking6918]

Also the Figment remake was a disaster and still is.

[@CrazyManhog]

If they changed one atraction then brought it back to the orginal maybe just maybe Splash Mountain might return if TBA isnt good

[@ryantelberson]

I agree that Under New Management is trash but Uh-Oa was such an amazing addition. And I kinda liked them singing Conga and Get On Your Feet 😂

[@kgrfirdjy]

I am likely a minority, but I preferred the Iago version of the Enchanted Tiki Room and felt the 2023 version was absurdly boring! 😂

[@CloverLoop]

Looks like Iago stole the show for you! Maybe the 2023 version needed a parrot with attitude.

[@fumomofumosarum5893]

ah so Disney has a history of disrespecting their audience...

[@CloverLoop]

Disney might just be the ultimate villain in their own story!

[@Grover1234]

Ok I can understand lots of people not liking the Under New Management Tiki Room but I really enjoyed it. Now I had known about the original version but hadn't ever gotten to see it. Now that doesn't mean I didn't like the original version but had seen clips and stills from Disney Specials from over the years. But Under New Management was the first time I saw the Tiki Room show and really enjoyed all the songs and Zazu and Iago! Now I was already in my late 20's to early 30's when I saw the show. It's not like I saw it as a child and LOVED the hell out of it. I have always enjoyed those two characters from those two films to begin with. Naturally I'm gonna enjoy seeing them together in their animatronic forms and I did! Thanks for making this video. It lets me see the other side of things.

[@CloverLoop]

It's great to hear that you found enjoyment in the Under New Management Tiki Room! Everyone has their own unique perspective and it's wonderful to see different viewpoints on Disney attractions.

[@AltairEgoX]

😂sorry but I love Iago ....he is ult troll. That whole show was just him trolling the audience 😉 folks didn't get it 😅. I loved it! Not at all like what they did to The Great Movie ride!

[@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois]

I think Tiana is going to pass this as the worst retheme

[@swarlock]

I hated this version. Didn't come back till it was changed back.

[@CloverLoop]

So you're saying change is not always a good thing, huh? In this case I couldn't agree more!

[@DukeCityExplorer]

Guardians at DCA is tons of fun! Tower of Terror at WDW is equally fun as well!

[@m.rivers9201]

Splash needed to go? Why? It was the most popular ride in the Magic Kingdom! But for some misguided reasoning, that was a classic that should not have been touched. That just so happened to be the 1st Acadamy award winner of African Descent. Not a single guest ever connected negative stereotypes to the ride. Nope, that was some buffoons that think everything is about race. The new ride will be a POS when compared to the Classic. We've already seen pictures of the so-called artwork and it looks like a 6th grader tagged a wall with what he thought it may look like in the 1930's. Terrible move by Disney and a reason why Disney is now no longer the industry leader in Theme Parks.

[@viaxxl]

The petition to bring back out mountain is over 100,000. It took 20,000 to get rid of a staple and historic part of the parks. Disney burnt the food here 🤡

[@triton6127]

Tell me you're white without telling me you're white. Plenty of people felt uncomfortable on that ride and with the insanely racist film. But again, I don't expect most white people to understand. Sad.

[@alanawolf1556]

@@triton6127 you know??? These are the people that go around complaining “Why do you have to make it about race?” when, uh, sorry but it already WAS about race, you just weren’t aware of it - because you didn’t need to be. @m.rivers9201 I started going to Disney World as a little kid and I can tell you my entire family felt embarrassed by Splash Mountain, long before y’all started the “War on Woke” 🙄 but thanks for speaking for “everyone” about how it didn’t make “anyone” queasy.

[@AltairEgoX]

Wait wait how are birds from an original ip not part of Walt Disney's original ip😅 Iago is a Disney branded IP as is zazu; they're birds!!! how😮 wouldn't they fit in a bird-themed show I'm just wondering? Heck I could see the Three amigos making an impromptu appearance as well! Just me being whimsical I guess. Not like imagination is a thing where childlike wonderment is concerned.

[@mildlyentertaining5628]

Sorry but Mickey and Minnie run away railway in Hollywood Studios is the worst Disney attraction update ever .. hands down

[@theamazingDrBob]

I like the new railway. It’s better than the Tiki room update and also journey into your imagination from 1999.

[@mildlyentertaining5628]

@@theamazingDrBob if you think that Railway is a better upgrade from the great movie ride than I want whatever drug you are on

[@theamazingDrBob]

They are both better than the journey into imagination ride from 1999.

[@triton6127]

@@mildlyentertaining5628 Maybe you should try something because you are on another planet mentally if you think the lame movie ride was good since 1995 lmao. It sucked.

[@CloverLoop]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it's great to hear different perspectives.

[@sandstorm200]

Yeah, it was worst update for Walt Disney world one, aleast it didn’t effect the Disneyland version, which keep original theme.

[@CloverLoop]

Totally agree, the Walt Disney World update was a disaster -- thank goodness Disneyland's original theme is still intact

[@claudianardon6101]

Um… actually, the worst disney atraction update ever is The many adventures of Winnie the Pooh replacing Mr Toad’s Wild Ride.

[@CrazyManhog]

Cough Splash Mountain

[@seanie93horror26]

No Stitch's Great Escape is the worst Disney attraction update.

[@claudianardon6101]

@@seanie93horror26 no. The many adventures of Winnie the Pooh was the worst Disney update. Because it ruined a classic ride and turned it into a stupid boring baby ride. Stitch’s great escape is a good ride, and it’s to me, just as good as extraterrorestrial alien encounter.

[@claudianardon6101]

@@CrazyManhog Disney closing a atraction just because it has black characters and re opening it with more black characters is probably one of the worst things ever done, but it’s not as bad as the closure of Mr Toad’s Wild ride being changed into the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

I miss splash mountain 🏔️ I liked the song of the south the kids in the south heard stories about brayer rabbit and brayer 🦊 from uncle rheamus the black people in the movie was treated like family
