No one had ever seen anything like that before at Disneyland, so it had a HUGE novelty value. Today, I don't think a barker bird would generate the same volume of onlookers. I could be wrong, though. Another good reason that they probably won't bring it back is that it originally was located in the A-frame entrance that fell down in the late 90s... I don't see any structural evidence in the Lanai that they are bringing this back.... But if they put the Lanai back together the way it was, I'll be a happy camper!
