The Tropical Serenade remained unchanged until 1997, when the show closed for renovations. Due to lack of popularity, Disney decided to retheme the show, adding popular the characters Zazu (from Disney’s The Lion King) and Iago (from Disney’s Aladdin). The attraction reopened as the “Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management) on April 5, 1998. The premise of the new show featured Zazu and Iago as the new owners of the Tiki Room, and although the show briefly included the original shows theme song, “The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room”, Under New Management featured an all new soundtrack. “Under New Management” quickly proved to be unpopular with guests and attendance problems once again plagued the attraction. In 2011 a small fire broke out in the attic of the theater, causing the sprinkler system to be activated. Although no one was injured in the fire, the Audio Animatronic Iago was badly damaged and the attraction suffered some water damage. Due to both the fire, and the increased popularity of a refurbished Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room in Disneyland, Disney decided to restore the attraction to a version of the original show. The attraction reopened as “Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room” on August 15 2011, in time for the Magic Kingdom’s 40th anniversary. The “new” show is six minutes shorter than the original 17 minute version, as the Offenbach number and some dialogue were removed.
