Enchanted Tiki Room reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Enchanted Tiki Room, a animatronic show in Adventureland at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
Written by Robert Niles The Magic Kingdom's tiki room opened as "Tropical Serenade" in 1971, then was replaced by a sarcastic, satirical sequel, "The Enchanted Tiki Room - Under New Management" in 1998. Widely panned by fans, that version of the show closed after fire damaged the tiki room in 2011. The current version of the show is a restored and edited version of the original, omitting the central fountain and sing a long, as well as a long Offenbach number that once drove many viewers to the exits. Enchanted Tiki Room now plays at a brisk 10 minutes and offers a fun, gentle "musical luau" for guests who need a break from the heat and hassle of a busy day in the park. Readers' rating:
You really wouldn't want to sit beneath a flock of birds talking to each other for obvious reasons but our animatronic feathered friends in the Tiki Room don't present any problems that may need dry cleaning. A charming show , much better for returning to it's original format, that provides that little bit of respite from the adrenalin rush outside it's polynesian doors. - Rob P Much better than the old version. Not outstanding but a pleasant rest while being gently amused. - Martin Rees Found it cheesy, a bit boring and was quite glad to leave. - Lauren Hayhurst A supreme, spectacular change over the BAD, CRAPPY version of the Tiki room! - Brendan Harrison One word: pleasant! - Donald Murray More attraction and restaurant ratings:
