I think the main issue with "Under New Management" is that it is too short and too cynical.
I admit that when I visited WDW years ago, I thought that it was interesting to see a new version of Tiki Room, but only because I knew the original version was still back at Disneyland.

It's been under new management for how long? The new management is old now! Bring back the original management, now they knew how to run the show!

Its only fair to point out that the Main Street Electrical Parade first premiered at Disneyland in 1972.
WDW's Electrical Water Pageant was its predecessor and premiered at WDW in 1971.
So technically speaking, The real home of the Main Street Electrical Parade is Disneyland.
WDW did not receive the Main Street Electrical Parade until 1977.
I'm just sayin'.

I happen to be a big fan of the Main Street Electrical Parade. It is a classic, and one should not tinker too much with a classic. Oh, I'm not against change in general. Still, before one makes any changes to a classic, one must look at what has made the classic so popular, and if the changes would alter those features that kept folks coming back, it is probably better not to make those changes.
And the Main Street Electrical Parade is a Disneyland tradition. Get yer own parade! :cat1:

They sent the WDW MSEP to DLP. Judy and I always felt they should have sent SpectroDisaster, as the French deserve it, and let us keep our MSEP!

And it's only fair to say that WDW improved the parade making it the REAL MSEP.

Everywhere. It's logical. It just doesn't make sense if they have two night time entertainment going on at the same time. It's chaotic, especially when World Of Color is brand new, everybody would want to see it!

If that's true, I wonder they they will do with Fantalusion (send it to WDW and let central shops upgrade it :D :)
