A Disney Park mistake list that doesn’t include Superstar Limo? I’m impressed
Agreed- it’s an easy target and always shows up in videos like this. Good to see someone not settling for fish in a barrel.
Michael Eisner is that really you
Lnm&m Faulk no LOL
We all are
Michael Eisner.... I’m not worthy.
When I first went to Disney as a child the early 2000's, I rode Snow White's Scary Adventures and cried because it was, you know, 'scary'. Immediately after the ride ended and I got off with me family we saw Snow White doing a meet and greet outside, when I met her I told her that the ride was to scary and she should close it. Next year when we came back it was closed. I'm sorry for closing it!
It's still up and running in Disneyland Paris, so it hasn't vanished from existence!
It’s ok I don’t mind
Disneyland still has their Snow White ride, they just updated it to Snow White’s enchanted wish, the Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disneyland still has scary adventures, Disneyworld’s closed in 2012
wow can't believe you did that /s
Get him!
The Unchanted Tiki Room is just Rainforest Café
Except that the waiting for a table is a lot shorter, there's no overpriced food, but sadly there's no booze...
But less scary according to my sister
Without the cafe
And the one in Disneyland kicked the bucket. xD
@@badatgaming And I'm probably the only person who misses it.
I’m still super salty we never got an Atlantis attraction. I wanted Milo’s and Kida’s autographs so bad as a kid.
Me too it’s in my top three list of Disney movies, the other two being Emperor’s New Groove and Meet the Robinsons
Atlantis is my favorite movie so I'm with you!
100% agree..
This and Treasure Planet were totally awesome... I"ll never understand why the hell both flopped....
Durablebat 00515 Meet the Robinsons, The Emperors New Groove, The Rescuers, The Rescuers Down Under, The Fox and The Hound and The Black Cauldron are the most underrated Disney classics, even Walt himself would love these films.
They'd be so beautiful as live actors
Disney guests can't be trusted without a track.
Most guests can’t be trusted. Look up Action Park. It makes what happened here with Disney look like a mild traffic violation.
I'm honestly surprised Davy Crockett's canoes don't have a body count in the double digits
@@Viking_Luchador *Documented body count.
@@kingofthepod5169 😁😁
Exactly.
My cats think that the Unchanted Tiki Room is a GREAT show.
did they almost pounce on your device's screen?
@@driftingdruid if they did that would be hilarious!
I think it's kinda creepy..but still an interesting experience. *saw it at tokyo disney a few years back*
@@driftingdruid mine swiped at me hearing birds, does that count?
I loved that Mickey's laugh as the censor noise
It made me laugh out loud 😂
COPYRIGHT CLAIM EDIT: So UMG, surprise surprise, decided to claim a 8-9 second portion of Gilbert Gottfried's awful rendition of "Friend Like Me" about an hour or so after it was uploaded. Thankfully I included the Lyrics on-screen, but I apologize for the muted audio...it's incredibly frustrating, but believe me, you're probably better off not hearing his "angelic voice" for yourself.
So I've always wanted to make an "April Fools" video, but could never justify the time and effort into a throwaway "joke-episode" since I know most of you watch the channel for the thorough History, Nostalgia, Deep Dives and of course quality Entertainment. So I think I found a middle ground with an April Fools 'inspired'-ish episode with rarely covered Disney Mistakes, Blunders and Overlays that are so obviously bad...they might as well have been a joke. I wanted to avoid topics like Superstar Limo, Fantasmic which have been covered countless times, or the removal of iconic attractions that you probably already know plenty about. Instead, I wanted to focus on the less familiar ones, and the kind that don't typically get covered. So I hope you enjoy an exploration of some of the more Niche side of Disney's Theme Park Mistakes, and I also hope you are all staying safe and healthy during this challenging time.
EPISODE CORRECTION: For some reason I said Star Tours opened in 1984 at Disneyland...of course it was 1987. I was in the process of researching The Last Jedi which came out in 1984, so I think I somehow got my dates mixed up during narration.
CORRECTION OF THE CORRECTION: Return of the Jedi came out in 1983...I'm convinced Under New Management fried my brain.
Mark
Yesterworld Entertainment oh hai Mark! Thanks! Stay safe!
Should've had YOU doing an impression of him.
Don't you mean Return of the Jedi in 1983?
Yo, what you got against Fantasmic?
Goddamn it Mark!!! 😅
2 of their worst mistakes was closing 20,000 leagues and basically destroying the imagination pavilion
Wish I could have ridden that attraction!
SlimmJimm You know what’s worse after 20,000 Leagues closed they left the animatronics underwater to suffer catastrophic damage so bad that none of the animatronics could be salvaged.
The hard part about the Imagination Pavilion is that the 'playground' was getting way too dated and not so 'magical'. Arcade cabinet games advanced to the point that made it look lame, then we had PC and console gaming. Playing with simple light sensor effects, pressure pad activated effects, and pin screens just wasn't going to hold up in the long run. DisneyQuest became what the Imagination Pavilion should've become, and when DisneyQuest was shut down, it would've been wise to update the VR and other physical attractions from there, and install them in Imagination.
@@matthewavery2934 that's truly sad and pisses me off to no end
@@tardisman4210 it makes me sad just saying it and knowing it.
"Tiki God Rap"
*It was the 90's, after all...*
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, says "desperate attempt to look hip and cool" than throwing a random rap into family entertainment.
Oh yeah, the 90's, a completely lost decade full of idiocy and emptiness, the decade in which we took our first steps into mediocrity and imbecility and quickly turn it into our way of life, unfortunately still going strong. The 90's were the beginning of the end.
😆
@@signx the 90's thru the Early 2000's were a trainwreck
@@signx yes!
Love the way you explained the $400 million wave machine disaster by inserting a clip of Bill Nye demonstrating water erosion; a concept that could easily be understood by children. Not to mention also relevant at the time of the wave machine’s construction.
The opening also works as a great metaphor for Disney’s live action remakes.
I liked the new Dumbo. The other remakes were just really bad...
bibiboe Honestly, I didn’t mind the Dumbo remake, not as good as the original, but it was still surprisingly cute for a Tim Burton film.
Lady and the Tramp wasn’t too bad either.
That mickey laugh over the f word scared the haha out of me when I first heard it. I don't know why but it at first sounded like a hiccup. But that's 1 of the funniest bits you've done. I love this vid. Thank you so much. We're all going through a rough time so its good to see it doesn't affect what you do on this channel. I hope you and everyone in comment section is staying healthy.
I was a bit weary with this one, as I pretty much never swear in my voice over, but glad the joke payed off :) I myself have been self-quarantined for about 2 weeks, but I hope you are keeping healthy and safe as well, I'll continue to do my absolute best to deliver the same quality content as usual!
@tecnoklaus THAT'S MY FAV SOUTH PARK EPISODE! WHEN HE BEATS UP THE JONAS BROTHERS!! THE ULTIMATE LMAO!!!
tecnoklaus That one in South Park is called Mickey Louse. The real one was gagged, tied up, and locked in a closet.
tecnoklaus At least they’re no longer under contract, so Louse can’t kick their asses anymore.
Funny stuff! 😆😆😆😆
The fact that an attraction featuring Gilbert Gottfried, Phil Hartman AND Don Rickles is this unfunny and painful to listen to is truly impressive.
Especially now that all three of them are dead.
Don't leave Rowan Atkinson out...
@@RhodesidesReviews Rowan Atkinson is great, but he didn't reprise his role as Zazu for this attraction, hence why I left him out.
Despite the fact that it was the 3rd most popular ride at Magic Kingdom, one of the main reasons management closed 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea was due to serious cost & maintenance problems. Apparently the water in the semi-tropical climate of Florida had a tenancy to grow lots of algae, consequently, the maintenance staff had to dump massive amounts of chlorine in to the water to prevent growth. This in turn corroded the paint off the surfaces of anything submerged in the water and was hard on the mechanical parts of the anamatronics. Furthermore it forced the maintenance crews to drain the entire lagoon of water and clean, repair and repaint the various parts of the ride twice a year. It's rumored that 20,000 Leagues was so hated by the maintenance crews that the they dragged out a slowly sinking decommissioned Nautilus submarine to show Micheal Eisener (on tour of the park) telling him that all the boats in the ride were in such a poor condition just to convince him to shut the ride down.
Same thing happened to Journey Into Imagination
@notcoolG they should have just gotten a lot of snails 😂
@@superlolbrothers6559 I don't think it would be that bad
I'm so glad my sister pulled me into the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. I had no idea what it was, or what to expect. I would have just walked right past it. It certainly didn't have the "wow" factor from the outside like the other attractions. But when I sat down, and the show started, I was BLOWN away at how amazing and how the entire room comes to life. So cool! And so underrated. That was when Disney was innovative. Unlike now, where it's just pushing merchandise.
I too walked in with no expectations or idea of what it was. We mainly wanted to sit and watch something fun and cool off. It immediately became my favorite attraction and my husband had to put up with me playing "The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room" for weeks afterwards!
@@thedogdogification same. I've been going to Disneyland since I was a kid, and somehow I never went in there before. i wasn't expecting to enjoy it nearly as much as I did, it was my favorite part of my trip lol.
@@k_anth 22:45 This is the Background of "Mickey's Christmas Carol".
Remember going into the enchanted tiki room when it was in the new management phase, as my dad stated : “That was worse than the entirety of Superstar Limo.”
That says a lot.
under new management is awful, but i think it's a little bit better than superstar limo... at least the animatronics for it looked a lot better
I mean Superstar Limo is at least it's own thing, not replacing anything. This on the other hand replace a beloved attraction with what I can say is bad 90's trash.
memethyst Good Point, The Tiki Room has audio animatronics, while superstar had figures that look like my uncle built the ride in his garage.
under new management falls into the same category as food rocks, trying to make a classic animatronic show "hip" and "modern"
memethyst I would say Videopolis Falls underneath that umbrella, which is just appealing to the “kids”. Reminds me of the “What’s up, Fellow Kids?” mindset that the Disney CEO’s seem to have
I’d say one park mistake was taking out the people mover in Disneyland😡
Zombie Hunter More like Michael Eisner.
yes!
Bring back the people mover.
@@celestegabriev well the fact that it's in California doesn't help, building something in California you need a LOT of unnecessary paperwork and the already recently made Galaxy's edge
Pappa Frappa Agreed. Florida kept theirs for years, yet California couldn’t?
Atlantis The Lost Empire still remains my favorite ever Disney movie and this video just made me even more sad that the ride was never made! I never knew that they were potentially going to build a new facade and incorporate the monorail, it sounds like it had the potential to be one of the best rides in the park
Tegosauras Undeniably, Atlantis is one of those underrated titles that I enjoyed alongside The Black Cauldron and Treasure Planet. Granted, they each didn’t do well in the box office years ago, but their stories were fun and felt more mature from the G-rated titles.
This movie is underrated and I stand by that
Still not over them getting rid of Mr Toad in Florida.
I’ll just keep saying it... Disney, don’t get rid of Mr Toad in California!
eventually it will succumb to a Frozen overlay lol smh let's hope not.
Exactly. Bad enough we lost Country Bear Jamboree in CA to…Winnie the $hit. I wouldn’t have minded a WTP themed ride, but they shouldn’t have destroyed CBJ to make it, or at least they should have done a better job on it.
I thought the birthday cake overlay of Cinderella Castle would be mentioned, or at least when it was tee-peed for Stitch's Great Escape.
Everyone complains about the cake. That was my first year at Disneyworld lol
I thought it looked fine, but I did wish I could see the original castle lol. Thankfully I went back in 2000 to see it.
My mom was there when the castle became cake. She thought it was *hideous*
The funniest thing is that Iago IS indeed my favorite character from Aladdin. But man, from what I've seen about that Tiki Room thing, that was an insult not only to the original attraction, but to Iago himself too.
R.I.P. Gilbert Gottfried
Mark, I remember living in Southern California during the Paul Pressler era. It was painful for us as Disneyland Annual Passholders to watch the slow decay of the Park. We remember seeing “plush under glass” for sale at the Briar Patch in Critter Country instead of watches and jewelry. Seeing the lack of maintenance around the Park was heartbreaking. God bless Matt Ouimet for whipping Disneyland back into shape for the 50th anniversary after the abysmal treatment from Paul and Cynthia.
Pressler at Gap, Inc launched a store that tried to get boomers to dress better. He is the typical sociopath that makes it to the top by leaving a path of destruction behind him.
There's a reason Pressler and Cynthia Harriss bricks in the esplanade are often grafittied, spat on, and even urinated on.
@@stanfordite Oh, so true.
Alexander DiPirro Oh yes! I saw the damage myself. The other surrounding bricks were untouched. The vandalism of those bricks was brought about from the absolute disdain for the leadership at that time.
The worst Disney mistake was Journey Into YOUR Imagination!
Digital Apple Oh Yeah, you’re right on That one!
oh gosh
100%, if it hadn't been covered so much (especially by myself in a previous episode) I would've included it.
Yesterworld Entertainment Man I cant remember who many times you mention how bad it was as in a joke or simple reference to it.
He is probably talking about the more current version of the ride. The original ride was a wondrous adventure into awesomeness.
"Hi, I'm Gilbert Gottfried. And this is Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Waste of Time."
I love Gilbert Gottfried, but only Michael Eisner could come up with an idea that bad.
I’m reading that in his “stage voice” (I’ve heard his real voice, he sounds totally different) 🤣
@@princessmarlena1359 Agreed. And I really like his podcast. Especially when he has guests who knew all the great stand-up comedians who never made it past tv show guest appearances.
I love Gilbert Gottfried! I didn’t know he had a podcast, but yeah I also read your post in his “stage voice” (as Princess Marlena pointed out). 🤣👍
I remember living in perpetual fear that the Tiki Room in Disneyland would suffer the same fate as that in Disney World, so every visit I made sure to go see the Tiki Room. Soooo grateful that the OG Tiki Room is still around.
I loved the Disney Afternoon Avenue!
Matter of fact, my earliest life memory (literally) is riding the Autopia with the Rescue Rangers overlay. I remember thinking "This doesn't make much sense, but I'm driving a car and all my favorite cartoon characters are here, so it rules."
Some Disney fans say 'Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management' could serve as a metaphor for Michael Eisner's tenure as CEO.
Michael Eisner was a genius compared to Paul Pressler. Pressler did everything on the cheap.
@@lavalampluva55401 Eisner made mistakes and risks, Pressler was merely a greedy, uncreative little shithead. At least Einer tried to add to the park even if his ideas didn't work out, Pressler tried to REMOVE from the park.
6:02
It cost 400,000 dollars to install and run a wave machine, for 12 seconds
I think the one I’ll never get over is the Tower of Terror in Disneyland turning into GotG. I loved the theming and atmosphere, it was hands down my favorite ride. I know it still exists in Florida, but I’m a northern CA native so that’s a much tougher trek.
OH MY GOD UH-OA'S NAME IS A PUN ON "UH OH" BC SHE'S A CHAOS GODDESS I JUST REALIZED THAT!! FURTHER PROOF THAT SHE'S THE ONE GOOD THING ABOUT UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
15:11 I remember one of the editions of the WDW Theme Park song compilations for Magic Kingdom had Under New Management. It just ended at Iago's song and didn't include the rest. I think even the compilers of the OST knew that there wasn't a point in including anything past Gottfried's...uh...'angelic' voice.
I always liked how you enter Star Tours at the Endor queue and exit inside Tatooine Traders. It makes you feel like you actually took a tour. I like the transition
In that context it kinda makes sense. It does seem somewhat disjointed since you can see Endor portion from the shop, and it doesn't help that the displays in the store were taken out.
Until about 3 years ago the under new management version of the tiki room was the only version I knew
Same! 😆
You poor unfortunate soul
There's one line from Zazu in Under New Management which has become prophetic in more ways in one: "Be forwarned, Iago: you cannot toy with the Enchanted Tiki Room!"
In ways Iago in the show reflects the same mentality as the executives who wanted to make the Tiki Room hip, which is admittedly kind of funny to think about.
Still loving how the intro started Yesterworld
Honestly the saddest removal for me was the honey I shrunk the kids park in disneyworld, im sad I will never see it again :c
Man, I loved that battery slide
But I mean it was sort of responsible for Journey into YOUR Imagination but okay...
TAT Noooooo!
Not the park!
...well at least I have the tape of me playing on it...that dog nose though.
@@missybarbour6885 YESSSS THE SLIDE shit was great
Missy Barbour that was my favorite part of the area.
Can you imagine Iago in the Tiki Room doing the phrase from the AVGN video: "Send those fuckers into the stratosphere.".
What they never told anyone was that there was a scrapped element of the finding nemo submarine voyage. From the sound of it, it sounds like it could’ve worked, but I highly doubt it would have... though the nothing of this scrapped element is known about and there are no pictures of video evidence of it... there is one, single, solitary line that was meant to be part of the attraction...
...”swim through all the rings!”
A man and/or woman of culture, I see
YES 🤣🤣🤣
Morgan Gibson Is that true? 😮
tankart150 Nah, man. It’s a RadicalSoda joke/ Reference to the Finding nemo ps2 game
It would've been like a rollercoaster
From what I understand, one of the main reasons that Under New Management closes permanently is that the soundtrack/sound system was damaged beyond repair. They couldn’t re-record the music as Michael Gough (Zazu) had just passed away. This may just be a rumor, but it’s what I was always told.
Ooooh....bummerrrr guess they got to go back to the original soundtrack....lol
Who is Michael Gough? I thought Zazu was voiced by Rowan Atkinson.
Jacob Coburn Rowan Atkinson did play Zazu in the film. However Michael Gough did the recording for the attraction. Rowan didn’t reprise his role.
Logan Czernia I think you have your Michael Goughs mixed up. The Michael Gough who was Zazu in Under New Management is still alive. He’s not the Alfred the butler Michael Gough. Not your fault, it’s an easy mistake, most people don’t know there’s two different Michael Goughs.
Seeing the MatPat clip was a wonderful little surprise
Been a fan of his for quite some time :)
Wait where was that?
between 1:30 and 1:28
Nice touch with the "Modern Times" and "Ten Commandments" clips during the 7th minute.
Seeing all these screw-ups and budget issues really humanizes the company, reminds me of those mid-series Neon Genesis Evangelion episodes where you really get to see the inner workings of NERV, how they're having to make cuts and fix problems despite appearing as this shiny mystery company. Obviously Disney isn't exactly fighting for the history of humankind, but it's definitely neat to see how everything fits together [most of the time]
Gonna be real, did not expect an evangelion comparison on a Disney history video hahaha
They’re not a person, they’re a soulless company that couldn’t care less about others
@@mr.x2567 HAHAHAHAHA!
"If your ears weren't bleeding after this first musical number with the angelic voice of Gilbert Gottfried" - Basically Aladdin 2. I don't know why they gave him so many songs in that.
Edit: Yes I do. His songs are actually sick in that film.
On the bright side, at least we finally get an original villain song by Jafar that’s not a reprise of a previous song like in the original.
@@hunterolaughlin I definitely agree after rewatching the film recently. It actually slaps although I wish they could’ve put a lot more effort into Aladdin 2 because “the Return of Jafar” is such a great concept for a film
@@MasterSpud In Thumbelina they got an actual singer for the Beetle character, who was played by Gilbert Gottfried.
@@orangeslash1667 hey well that’s good that it happened because Gottfried singing is pretty hit or miss so I guess it’s better for a film to just not have him do it. Not every song he does is going to be a “Just Forget About Love”
@@MasterSpud Disney said that Iago was originally going to be voiced by ether Danny Devito or Joe Pesci, but nether were available. It was Watching Beverly Hills Cop 2 that inspired the writers to cast Gibert as Iago. There's a documentary called (Life Animated) that tells a real life story of how Iago inspired a boy with Autism to speak for the first time ever.
I remember the Disney Afternoon Avenue. Probably because I was so young and watched all of those shows, I loved the cheap overlays as a kid. Admittedly, I remember it to be a lot cooler than it was in reality.
Im a bit too young for a lot of the overlays I just learned about but now that I'm a parent I wouldn't mind that gummi bear one. A sit and slow down time be cooled down by the water read the map maybe lul the little one a little (maybe)
Having just now learned that this was a thing, I'm a little sad our visit was 2 years too early to enjoy it. However, the goal of finding Chip and Dale to get their autographs gave 9-year-old me something to focus on - and I succeeded as we were almost done on our final day.
The autographs were lost long ago, but I spent all my savings on a pair of nicely-dressed plush chipmunks who are currently tucked away with my other childhood treasures. 😁🍍
WE NEEDED YOUR VIDEO NOW MORE THAN EVER THANK YOU
Thank YOU for watching!
Awww
Yesterworld Entertainment You’re welcome!!! We all love you Yesterworld!!
Kid in 2030: Grandma, What was the tiki room in wdw like in the early 2000’s?
Grandma: it was a terrible time, Gilbert Godfrey was they’re, and he wouldn’t shut up, but luckily, it burnt to a crisp while I was there,thank the holy lord Jesus.
Kid: who burnt it?
Grandma: oh! Uh I don’t know. * nervously laughs, hides lighter*
Grandma I am from the future I found out it was you
I remember the tiki room under new management... I don't remember hating it or loveing it. 2001 I think.
Gottfried
Grandma: Tiff Prendergast... looks like I found my next target
*Pulls out 10 hour it’s a small world video*
was they're? LOL
I loved the "water sprites" motorboats at Disney Village in the 90's when I was a kid. They were able to go quite fast for kid drivers, but not fast enough to kill anyone. It was odd because you had free rein on the whole lake as a young pre-license teenager which may have not been a great idea. They also had them at our resort hotel but they were speed limited to "slowest".
I actually witnessed the travesty that was Enchanted Tiki Room: Under new management. What were they THINKING? The Tiki room is one of the few attractions that was still popular after having had no changes since before Walt died!
I recall liking New Management, I don't remember a lot but I liked Iago (still do) and the idea of combining him with Zazu and other birds was weird enough to be at least somewhat amusing.
Please do more Michael Eisner impressions if you get the chance, that gravelly, sleazy 80’s businessman voice you do always cracks me up.
"Well, at least they still have those little motorboats!"
*pained expression*
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOT THE BOATS!!!!!!!!!!!"
Doctor: "There there, Freakazoid, I am sure the Imagineers will come up with something better."
Thanks for reminding me why we took a hiatus from the Tiki Room. I had forgotten all about 'new management'.
I remember the trackless Autopia and the Motorboats with the whitewater (and the Mule Train!). I also remember how cheesy the Gummi Bear boat ride was with the painted plywood figures and wondering if I was still in Disneyland.
Not everything Disney does is amazing. Glad to have a great video looking back at their flubs
Honestly I’d probably be a fan of the unchanted tiki room
I'm bringing my phone and ear Buds so I can listen Yesterworld. *definitely not promotion*
Flandre Kirisame Magolor is working on getting the license to but they’re skeptical of his history
It always confused me why Zazu and Iago were part of the Enchanted Tiki Room. Thanks for clearing that up
I remember the hype about the Atlantis submarine attraction being so huge that I actually thought they opened it briefly but closed it almost right away. But when it finally did open, the line for the Finding Nemo version was hours long for years.
I would've much preferred Atlantis over Finding Nemo
i know right. i would have loved to see those old creepy animatronics rather than a bunch of screens :(
12:30 there’s nothing creepier than hearing the “1000 ways to die” narrator on a Disney commercial
Holy shit it's Ron Perlman.
I knew that voice sounded familiar
SLADE
Man the Motor Boat Cruise to Gummie Glen is sad not just because it was a cheap retooling of an aging ride but also because that IP would have lent itself well to a ride if they actually spent some time and effort. Those quick tunnels from the cartoon would have made a great kiddie coaster or a dark ride.
Gummi Bears, bouncing here and there and everywhere. High adventure that’s beyond compare, they are the Gummi Bears
I remember hearing about the Atlantis attraction. Such an underrated Disney film!
The biggest mistake I ever made in a Disney Park was after one too many drinks in Epcot
Go on...
So glad I’m not the only one who got drunk at EPCOT. 😂
@@s.ez.a.7651 After an attempted "Drink Around the World" with liquor (Margarita, Aquavit shot with beer chaser, Rum/Vodka mix, Jaeger shot with beer chaser, (biggest mistake here) sangria with beer chaser, frozen lemonade with bourbon, and sake (where I stopped)), I fell asleep on a bench and when I woke up I had become a photo opportunity.
Wow is this a thing??? Because same with my bf and I on our last trip 🤣🤣 had to hide out on that dark boat ride in Mexico for a bit ahhaha
Are you still making support payments?
You could do a whole series on the depressing and I’ll-judged mess that is Galaxy’s Edge.
Oh my god, I laughed unreasonably hard at the adjective "Gilbert Godawful"
"Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may know me from such rides as the Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management."
Everytime I hear "A mysterious fire was started in the tiki room" said by a Disney youtuber my first thought it "You guys teamed up to do it, didn't you?"
perhaps it was the wrath of the gods themselves
Welp just got the notification I guess I'm not sleeping yet
Lol same, it’s about 4 am for me rn
Look at how they massacred my boy.
16:22-16:50
I was about to say it's not that bad, but that's pretty bad.
these videos are beautiful, everything from the background music to the soothing tone of his voice. i love these videos!
As someone who is constantly self-conscious about my narration that many seem to love criticising, thank you for the kind words :)
Oooooh!!! That was Adam The Wooooo!!!
I actually really liked Under New Management (even though I also love the original) - I wish that they would’ve changed it back to the full original instead of the weird cut version.
How is it weirdly cut?
Brendan Geier It’s missing some segments/songs/dialogue that it used to have. They did the same with the Country Bear Jamboree for whatever reason
@@yeehaw-city3086 i heard somewhere the bear jamboree was because the animatronics were falling into disrepair and they didn’t want to fix them so they changed the show, but i’m not sure
"Unchanted Tiki Room" still better than "Enchanted Tiki Room-Under New Management".
I was just thinking -- what if Disney Afternoon Avenue had happened more recently, and they had a "TaleSpin"/Higher for Hire overlay of Smuggler's Run, where you board the Sea Duck instead of the Millennium Falcon.
I went on the Tiki Room Under New Management once. The only thing I really remember was that the Iago and Zazu animatronics unmistakably had FUR instead of feathers.
Man, Endor Vendors was amazing in the early/mid-90s when Star Wars wasn't so popular. It was basically a mecca for fans looking for merch. Outside of conventions, you'd never find that many SW products in one place, and they had a nicely varied stock - not just toys and T-shirts. Plus having those great costumes on display. I was so disappointed when I went back after the Tatooine redesign; they really took a lot of magic out of it.
(Of course, I imagine that their revenues dropped sharply by the end of the 90s, once people could just find and buy merch online.)
And at the time, that was like THE Star Wars shop, that kind of merch wasn’t really sold anywhere else in the parks. Now literally every store at hs sells the same sw merch, so it’s kinda lost the magic.
What kind of adds insult to injury to me is that Star Tours could've been reworked as an entry ride to Galaxy's Edge. Imagine going on the ride and 'landing' on Batuu, and emerging not into a gift shop, but into the 'port' including a marketplace. (Mos Eisley is both a port and market, for example.) To really cap it off, to have you also exit Galaxy's Edge via the same essential ride... Immersion could never be so complete.
SirEuchre That’s kinda what they are doing for the new hotel. Also, as of the last time I rode, you ended the ride on batuu, which made no sense as you would go from being outside on batuu, to inside the star tours building, exit from tatooine, and end up in Endor. It would have been cool to have the ride exit into galaxy edge
Even though Under New Management was a huge flop I remember enjoying it as a kid. I am glad that I got to enjoy at least one of Disneys removed attractions.
The moment I hear about an attraction where guests are allowed to pilot themselves I get a rush of fear. I worked at a park for about a year and one thing I learned is that you NEVER trust the guests with driving or piloting anything.
I’m so sad that Atlantis is that forgotten, is easily one of the best movies, better than any new live action, such a piece with a very beautiful art work and shocking story for what it was Disney back then. Atlantis deserve more love. Thanks love the video didn’t talk about Treasure planet or my salt would be a sea.

The tiki room was the “ride” my family and I would “go on”when we wanted to be in the AC for a bit lol
loved the intro !! LOVED THIS ALL TOO MUCH. I truly appreciate the detail and research .
IDK why but 3PO saying "Master Michael" gave me hives
Just a quick comment to thank you again for the great production values, research and voice over - I'm loving the sly sarcasm you weave into your narrative.
Cheers 🍻 from 🇨🇦 !
Even as a 10 year old, riding the DLand Gummi Bear motor boat cruise was a "once is more than enough" ride experience. Seeing the ride through footage of it only confirms what I remembered 😅
Hearing about the hate "Under New Management" gets always makes me laugh as after the original show came back and my family went to the Magic Kingdom, my mother said after watching the classic version: "I liked the old one better".
That Tiki Room overlay hurts 😅😅
I first visited the Enchanted Tiki Room when it was Under New Management in the summer of 1998. I loved it! When I came back as an adult 20+ years later, I was very disappointed to find that they changed it. We could all use a little Gilbert Godfrey in our life.
Love that intro 😍😂
I completely forgot about the Paradise Pier wave machine oh my god
I loved this video!! It covers so many obscure topics and is incredibly interesting. Thanks for putting in all the work it takes to make such high-quality videos!
Thank you so much for posting content during this weird time. Your videos are great!
As a kid having grown up during the disney renaissance i liked the attraction of the tiki room under new management.
I thought it was funny and pretty cool. Still do
Hi Mark! I’ve been waiting for a new vid! Yay
Looks like a lot of that Atlantis expansion ended up at Tokyo DisneySea (along with the Long Beach Disneyland extension version that was never built). Maybe an idea for a future episode would be how those failures to be built in the USA turned into what is arguably the best Disney park in the world - DisneySea.
I’ve been watching all of your videos while in quarantine thank you so much!!!
The Living Seas with Nemo was a mistake, so was the Submarine overhaul.

I moved back to Indiana from Orlando where I lived for ten years. (My Disney and Universal passes don't even expire until June.) Your videos are getting me through withdrawals. Much appreciated.
The "Unchanted Tiki Room" bit is GOLD! Great job!
