The first time my family went to Disney was 2005, and I’m pretty sure that’s the only time I’ve ever been in the Tiki Room. I recall my dad saying as we left, “well that wasn’t very enchanting” or something along those lines, and I think this fiasco of an overlay might have turned them off the attraction for good. I’m not sure if they realize it’s not like this anymore, all I know is that we’ve not done it since then.
I’m only revisiting this video after hearing about the recent passing of Gilbert Gottfried (voice of Iago)😔 May he Rest In Peace along with Jerry Orbach, Don Rickles & Phil Hartman (who were also voices in the “Under New Management” show)
My family and I actually saw this when we went to Disney World in September 2000, and we thought it was actually kind of funny, especially Iago. My parents actually thought the original Tiki Room was boring(!) when they went to Disney World back in the 80s, and that this was an improvement.
my theory: The cast member Landon, as a gentleman from Eastern Virginia has it in his blood to commit selfless acts of rebellion for the common good. He is definitely the one who torched this attraction.
The first Tiki Room I'd ever visited was this one, I honestly didn't mind it, seeing as I loved and still do the song "Friend Like Me", the I love the original Tiki Room just as much too. :3
Seeing this again out of boredom and... wow this was worse than I remembered. Again, I don't think it's as bad as people say, but it's still shit. Some positives I will say though, I did like the first half. The idea of Iago breaking into the tiki room and messing around with the birds, only then to get banished by the tiki gods sounds really funny to me. However, everything after it in the 2nd half just sucked. Especially the last part where Iago insults the guests as they leave, ugh... If the "new management" stuff was only in the first half and the show continued as normal with Zazu just chillin in the background, I would've been okay with this change. But the fact that they replaced every song with covers of existing songs REALLY made this version hard to revisit. Thankfully the tiki room is now back in it's original state, though it is a shame that the UNM animatronics got damaged from that fire. Cause for 1998, they actually looked pretty cool.
I loved how Iago tried to say Hakuna Matata, but ended up saying Hunky Tuna Tostada! XD Left me laughing for a long time! I really wish I could've seen this show before it burned.
I actually like this, it’s pretty entertaining to me and I like the fact that Iago and Zazu are in it and of course the other enchanted tiki room birds to.
"You gotta get hip...!" [Proceeds to play "Still of the Night" (good song, not hip).] I will say, I didn't like how Iago got so much attention and even his own songs while Zazu was this insecure side-character basically. I get it sort of fits the nervous and blunt side of Zazu from "The Lion King," but he would never call Iago his "friend," or feel touched by anything he did--and if you think about it, more people remembered who Zazu was than Iago... I would've been fine with something like this "Famous birds from Disney movies" thing if 1.) It didn't replace and disrespect the one-and-only "Enchanted Tiki Room" (and the guests...); and 2.) It had a better story-line and songs.
As bad as this version was, I gotta admit, it had some charm imo. The first part with Don Rickles and Phil Hartman (who sadly are now dead..) was pretty funny, the way Iago comes in during the Tiki song was hilarious, and that friend like me parody wasn't too bad either. I would say the same for the Conga parody but ehhh.. I'm still kinda mixed on it.
I *_knew it!_* That one toucan(?) sounded unmistakably Phil Hartman, but I wasn't sure where to check. It's odd that they got Troy McClure (Phil Hartman), Mr. Potatohead (Don Rickles), Tony the Tiger (Thurl Ravenscroft), and even Iago (Gilbert Gottfried), [sadly, all of whom have passed on]... and yet they couldn't afford Rowan Atkinson, the only one in the group who's not a voice actor. I guess he is easily replaced, and you wouldn't even notice unless you know what to listen for. I guess they just wanted Colonel Spigot (Michael Gough) so it would be an all-star cast, or something? /s
This show, which was hosted by Iago and Zazu, obviously deserved retirement after it was the target of scorn and contempt by guests, who called it an allegory of the corrupt management of Michael Eisner. Not to mention there was a fire in the show on January 12, 2011. Disney definitely made the right choice by taking it off the parks.
Bethany Parker not a hater but just to point out it lasted nearly 13 years as this. Am I happy it’s back to the old one? Yes and no. No because there were a few jokes to be had and no matter how bad an attraction is, I don’t think it deserves to be burnt, I would have preferred this stayed until staff wanted to change it
This show was soo much more entertaining then the previous and restored versions of the show- I miss it! Trivia- Armelia McQueen voices Uh-Oa ,The Tiki Goddess of Disaster. Disney fans should remember her playing The Red Queen in the Disney TV Show "Adventures in Wonderland' in the 90's.
Wowee. Completely unbelievable that this ever happened- especially when you consider the venerated status the attraction has today. A refurbishment that actually directly sneers and insults the original version? Totally outrageous and laughably crass.
They made the worst mistake. the tiki room will never be as good as the original. José,Pierre,Micheal,and Fritz will always have a special place in our disney hearts. :D. it's like taking away it's a small world. yes the song plays over and over but your inner disney child enjoys it. and when that gets taken away it's not the same. you don't have that disney warmth anymore.
This isn’t Disney’s best work, but I think it’s just a little over hated... I mean, it could have been worse, the Tiki Goddess animatronic was nice, and everyone complains about the tikis rapping, but I expected it to take up like half of the show, at least it was just a short segment of the song
i find it so funny how the new management lasted a few minutes until jago insulted the tikigods and he got fried, also that one where the birds say are next magic trick is making you disappear... then jagos animatronic gets burned in real life
I actually love this, but I understand having disdain for it if you had to REPLACE the original show for this. This is great as a goofy spin-off, but not as the only option. No one is talking about your editing, but I will. It's absolutely perfect! You cut to different angles and even did fade-ins like it was an official pro-cut or something. AMAZING!
+f*cken funoodle (rhetorical question) Why is it that I always like the attractions that are widely hated? I enjoyed ETRUNM, but I also like the Original Tiki Room.
I remember going to see this when I was a kid and hated it so much. I thought they ruined the classic ride, like taking a crap on a beautiful classic ride from the old times.
All I know is that not to be rude or nothing like I made this is what you wanted to do like I like Gilbert Godfrey and you know he was an icon of the 80s but playing this audio here in my driveway I'm kind of sitting here worried that the police are going to show up because of being disorderly due to the audio coming from the Tiki Room in this video
I hope that iagos encounter with uh oa the tiki goddess of disaster taught him that not all thing need to be changed and some things are fine just the way they are I guess you can say that iago and zazu decided to fly the coop and transfer ownership of the enchanted tiki room back to Jose Pierre Fritz and Michael and they changed the show back to the original version of the show that was set up way back in the1960s
When I saw this I cringed. I’m glad they made the attraction back to what it was with some updates now. That was just horrible IP shoved into things again.
"Hi, I'm Troy Mcbird. you might remember me from movies such "de Janeiro 2" and "the ugly duckmeat" "
I decided to watch this to honor Gilbert Gottfried.
RIP... You will be missed...
He's also the voice of Digit from Cyberchase.

I would say "burn it with fire" but... you know.

*badum tshh*
TheInflicted ha!!! Good one 😂😂😂
things really got, so Hot hot hot !
Things got hot hot hot
This would have been alright if it was intended to be temporary. But this should never have been permanent. Glad the original is back
I’m only revisiting this video after hearing about the recent passing of Gilbert Gottfried (voice of Iago)😔
May he Rest In Peace along with Jerry Orbach, Don Rickles & Phil Hartman (who were also voices in the “Under New Management” show)
That's why I'm here too. R.I.P. GG
I’m also here… my family, and I were heartbroken when we heard the news
and also Armela McQueen.
Plus Wally Boag, Fulton Burley, and Thurl Ravenscroft
To be fair, the animatronics for this show were pretty good. Wouldn't be surprised to see one in the Disney archives if they didn't catch fire.
They should put a iago animatronic in front of the flying carpet ride
The uh oa animatronic they moved to trader Sam’s at the Polynesian. She doesn’t move anymore but she can be seen if someone orders her drink
So glad this is back under old management
My family and I actually saw this when we went to Disney World in September 2000, and we thought it was actually kind of funny, especially Iago. My parents actually thought the original Tiki Room was boring(!) when they went to Disney World back in the 80s, and that this was an improvement.
Wouldn’t it be funny if this was the overlay for this show for April Fool’s day?
yes then if the outside and preshow was the same as the orignal.
its called a waste of money if that were the case.
@@JustAVoiceInTheWind I don’t think the tiki room has a price
OK, that cast member at the beginning was one of the pre-shows I've ever seen. 🤣
my theory: The cast member Landon, as a gentleman from Eastern Virginia has it in his blood to commit selfless acts of rebellion for the common good. He is definitely the one who torched this attraction.
What..
?
I agree

I’ve never been to WDW, but I’m glad to say, I’m so glad I’ve been seen this in person. The Tiki Room is my personal favorite Disneyland attraction.
8:07 is when it FINALLY STARTS I missed this show SOOOOOOO much (cries a pool of ties) DX
@Bethany Parker your such a hater, even though I like the original more than this
@@SwitzerlandCheeese jfye
Uh-Oa still lives today at the trader sams bar at the poly
The original was great.But this version is my childhood favorite as I grew up with this version
Gotta say some of that friend like me parody was pretty fire
This is so bad that they actually sing a song about how they want you to leave
The original did that too.
That’s Disney’s way of breaking the fourth wall
Lol
Great job on the video Martin. I still like the "original" management better. I'm glad Disney moved it back.
Bad refurbishment aside, those Iago and Zazu animatronics are absolutely adorable. I'd pay millions to have that Iago animatronic in my room.
R.I.P. ETRUNM 1998-2011
9:49 Parrot sound like Lumiere from Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
Tom Armstrong
In this version of the show Pierre was voiced by Jerry Orbach who also voiced Lumiere
Thank you for preserving this attraction. Though I prefer the original show, I love this one as well.
Mitchell Gonzalez
Same with me.

i may not have the popular opinion but i actually liked this referbishment
U so hip and edgy
Same. It was cute.
When the tiki room has moana and maui, and heihei in it. It should be called the enchanted room under new management this time by maui
Benjamin Yn Wouldn’t be a bad idea as long as it’s respectful to the original show and is not just thrown in for the sake of having an IP.
I think it would be more like The Enchanted Tiki Room Featuring Moana and Friends
I loved how Iago tried to say Hakuna Matata, but ended up saying Hunky Tuna Tostada! XD Left me laughing for a long time!
I really wish I could've seen this show before it burned.
I wish they kept the new Riki toom

It’s garbage

@@Wendy_O._Koopa Rowan Atkinson plays zazu.
@@R_L_A_G not in this Under New Management Tiki Room.
Plot twist: Iago actually never learned his lesson in reality and in 2011 Uh Oa burned iago more than before.
Why is Iago there? This makes as much sense as Baloo and Louie showing up and Don Karnage dancing with the Chaos goddess, Uh- Oh?
1st Disney attraction playing Congo by Gloria Estefan. 2nd being Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind
11:41 Gilbert Gottfried at his finest......but he will be missed

nah it was funny.
@@jadedheartsz Bob Iger burned it.
Omg one of the birds sounds like Lumiere!! :D
I just realized that too!
That old version used to scare me when I was a child. That female tiki monster in the center looked scary as well! And I’m glad those are gone.
Rest in Peace Gilbert Godfrey
it seems like this version of the enchanted tiki room iago and zazu are like the stars of the show even we know their from 2 different disney movies
To be honest...I like this version than the original but hey, maybe they can redo it and make it better
20:36 best part of ride
This made me want Dreamworks to do an attraction based of Trolls 2 2020.
Phil Hartman?! Awwwwww
posthumorously and Don Rickles
Iago: If I hear one more word about those Tiki-tacky, Polynesian, pineapple-pickin’, wood-for-brains, MORON Tiki gods …
@Joshua Tomlinson 117
Iago: hey who turned off the lights?
Zazu: that would be the moron tiki gods
Uh-Oa, Uh-Oa, Uh-Oa-Oa-Oa!
@Joshua Tomlinson 117 WHO DARES DEFAME THE TIKI GODS?!
Zazu: Iago Iagooo?
@@coastercrafter1productions300 Excusez-Moi, Monsieur zazu, but it appears Monsieur Iago has... flown the coop!
3:37 holy shit it’s Phil Hartman
Oh my gosh 😭😭😭
Thank heaven they have removed this attraction
I wish it would go back to this I grew up more so with this version
This version is just kind of cringe, at least to me.
Bethany Parker not a hater but just to point out it lasted nearly 13 years as this. Am I happy it’s back to the old one? Yes and no. No because there were a few jokes to be had and no matter how bad an attraction is, I don’t think it deserves to be burnt, I would have preferred this stayed until staff wanted to change it
I kinda hate this but at the same time that pre-show is funny and whoever the cast members are they killed it also I miss Phil Hartman
I think I know why Armelia McQueen voiced the Tiki God...Gilbert Gottfried went after one of her subjects in Wonderland.
12:29 Armelia McQueen aka Queen of Hearts from Adventures in Wonderland
Oh it was so bad. Thanx for the super cool video.
The original tiki room was better!
Yeaaah :) good old dayz I went to WDW in 1997 and it was the best show
No, it was incredibly boring. Iago and zazu made it funny
tripp cory Agreed!!
tripp cory And the addition of Uh-Oa, The Tiki Goddess of Disaster was great too!!!
+ben94566 Definitely agree. I'm glad the old one is back and this is gone!
This show was soo much more entertaining then the previous and restored versions of the show- I miss it!
Trivia- Armelia McQueen voices Uh-Oa ,The Tiki Goddess of Disaster. Disney fans should remember her playing The Red Queen in the Disney TV Show "Adventures in Wonderland' in the 90's.
Darreyl Henderson she was also one of the five original cast members of ain’t misbehavin the broadway musical
that was funny when iago ask if the enchanted tiki room birds ever fly to the movies but they said theirb attached to the place
I think ill go to the hall of presidents to take a nap lol iago🤣🤣😂
BETTER THAN SUPER STAR LIMO
Wowee. Completely unbelievable that this ever happened- especially when you consider the venerated status the attraction has today. A refurbishment that actually directly sneers and insults the original version? Totally outrageous and laughably crass.
Hello my name is morris,you may know me from such places such as....
Hakuna Matata
Hunkey Tuna Tosada
What a stupid phrase
They made the worst mistake. the tiki room will never be as good as the original. José,Pierre,Micheal,and Fritz will always have a special place in our disney hearts. :D. it's like taking away it's a small world. yes the song plays over and over but your inner disney child enjoys it. and when that gets taken away it's not the same. you don't have that disney warmth anymore.
Pierre at 8:21 almost sounds like Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast.
Jerry Orbach the voice actor
Folkmanis (who make Disney puppets) should make a Iago puppet that resembles the one from this version of the attraction.
13:54 I love that kind of music! I hope they kept that part.
That song was part of the original (and is in the restored attraction)
This isn’t Disney’s best work, but I think it’s just a little over hated... I mean, it could have been worse, the Tiki Goddess animatronic was nice, and everyone complains about the tikis rapping, but I expected it to take up like half of the show, at least it was just a short segment of the song
Unoriginal 156 I think the main thing people hated about it was Iago making fun of the original show and just being annoying overall.
@@katef96I don't think it was meant to be insulting mentally, but made as a parody that I feel people are taking too seriously.
i find it so funny how the new management lasted a few minutes until jago insulted the tikigods and he got fried, also that one where the birds say are next magic trick is making you disappear... then jagos animatronic gets burned in real life
The show really did a good job adding Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from Lion King.
This is Super Star Limo levels of bad.
Come on. It wasn't /THAT/ bad!
Brianna Chiavetta yes yes it was.
I mean, both attractions did try to be “hip.”
The song that yago sings is u can never have a friend like me from aladin
I was hoping for 'Morning Report' and 'I'm Looking out for Me'.
I was disappointed.
I can see how this could have worked if it was a seasonal overlay, but this was not something that should have ever been a permanent thing.
I actually preferred this over the original version.
Hakuna Matata what a wonderful phrase
Woah this version looks so creepy with iago and Zazu
9:21 The major domo arrives
Did Gilbert Gottfried and Rowan Atkinson reprise their roles?
Gilbert Gottfried certainly did but I think Zazu is voiced by Michael Gough
I actually love this, but I understand having disdain for it if you had to REPLACE the original show for this. This is great as a goofy spin-off, but not as the only option.

Yeah i heard about the fire in TMK; too bad Iago wasn`t able to be repaired; not sure what happened Zazu?
***** Rumors have stated that Zazu was badly water-damaged.

@@MikeJehmszClassic i hope it survives and at storage
Zazu and Uh-Oa were damaged by the sprinklers
The people who produced this train wreck should have been fired. But, the continue to produce lame ass new rides.
So sad they went back to the boring old show after the fire.
i think i would go to the tiki room way more if this what it was
I remember going to see this when I was a kid and hated it so much. I thought they ruined the classic ride, like taking a crap on a beautiful classic ride from the old times.
Did Disney bring back the original show back after the fire?
I think this show is interesting but kind of lame compared to the original!
Yes, but uh oa is in Polynesian resort
They did bring it back in America. Rhett original one bored me to sleep though!
@The Boyz Nice sarcasm.
10:08 Hit it!
Zazu and Iago are great together ❤
All I know is that not to be rude or nothing like I made this is what you wanted to do like I like Gilbert Godfrey and you know he was an icon of the 80s but playing this audio here in my driveway I'm kind of sitting here worried that the police are going to show up because of being disorderly due to the audio coming from the Tiki Room in this video
Doesn’t sound anything like Zazu
I know the toucan on the right is Don Rickles but who voices the one on the left?
Austin Percival Phil Hartman
burnt lago's mouth is kinda stuck
I hope that iagos encounter with uh oa the tiki goddess of disaster taught him that not all thing need to be changed and some things are fine just the way they are I guess you can say that iago and zazu decided to fly the coop and transfer ownership of the enchanted tiki room back to Jose Pierre Fritz and Michael and they changed the show back to the original version of the show that was set up way back in the1960s
at 10:32 thats a parody of friend like me
9:00
COME ON DISNEY! THERE IS GONNA BE A MOANA RIDE! Ugh! Its under new management again!
Disney denied Moana I think
'Let's ad Gilbert Godfrey to it!'
Who's bright idéa was that.
When I saw this I cringed. I’m glad they made the attraction back to what it was with some updates now. That was just horrible IP shoved into things again.

It's... aright.
Not as good as the og, but it's okay...
