Don't even bring that suggestion up - there are certain people at WDI who would loooooove to completely re-do & wreck this classic show (as they did in Florida, and to a lesser extent, Japan). The show (minus the Offenbach piece, which I still miss) is a perfect slice of 60s era Tiki - created during Tiki's heyday - there is so little of that world left (preserved as it once was). Why on earth would you want to change it? If you want a good example of how a major change affects that show - go see it in Florida. I'm sure you will walk away annoyed and frustrated. Let's all hope they leave it EXACTLY as it is (or was - after they finish the rehab)... "Oh mystic powers - hear my call...
