The original show is not going anywhere. I know a few Imagineers involved. I found out the scoop. They are doing lots of building and audio-animatronic fixing. They want to bring this attraction back to it's original glory. As we speak, they are going thru the original masters and cleaning them up. By the time they are done mixing this, it should sound like it was recorded yesterday. They are fully aware that the last audio restoration (in the 90's) was shit. They are doing it right this time. The complete, restored soundtrack should be available on next years Disneyland 6 CD box set. Once it is completely restored, they are still planning to cut out the Offenbach number as they fear walkouts. I need to clarify, ONE Imagineer fears walkouts. His name is BG and he has big influence on the project unfortunately. I say enhance the fountain and keep the number! Oh well, at least they are not putting in the Florida show. By the way, Disney realizes what an awful show the new Florida show is and they will NEVER repeat that mistake. They can't really take it out without much expense. The new show has lots of new elements that are not easy to take out (at least not cheaply). So all in all, the whole point is to restore the Tiki Room back to it's original glory and they realized it would take longer than 2 months. It should be beautiful by the park's 50th!
