This weekend Disney announced plans to extensively redo the East side of WDW's Fantasyland (http://amusementinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?p=909) for 2011/2012.

The upshot for tiki lovers is that the mechanism for the Aladdin's Magic Carpets attraction is going to get removed from in front of the Tropical Serenade/Enchanted Tiki Room and redressed for use in the expanded Dumbo area that's being built. That leaves a gaping hole in front of the Tiki Room that's going to need to be filled. I'm guessing that Imagineering isn't going to waste its time restoring the larger water feature/seating area that was in that spot prior to the Agrabah-ification of the area, so it's an opportunity to really plus-up the area.

There's a lot of ex-Imagineering freelancing gunslinger types on the board (you know who you are!), so I'm putting this out into the universe for you and your friends to do with what you will: somebody please propose replacing the Magic Carpets with an interactive tiki playground (or another concept) to bring some tiki love back into Adventureland.

You've already got water and power lines running underground — ya'll can squirt and make things wiggle to your heart's content!
