Went into the tiki room today and found out they finally have their new seats. While the padding is better,they are now just benches instead of individual chairs. The backs on the benches are only about 4 inches high. But the real problem is that the gap between the rows is now only about 12 inches! You can not walk in the rows anymore but have to slide into the rows. I saw one woman almost fall trying to slide down the row with her family. The only good seats now are the front row. :mad:

What about the long benches in the very back row? Are they still there?

I've always like the benches back against the wall. Yes, it does create a limited view of your periphial vision, but I find it to be the best seats around.

Me too. Plus, if you're tired they make a comfy place for a little snooze!

they don't look very comfy, whose brilliant idea was this?

They would be comfortable if they had a padded backrest like the back row does.

They're going to have to change the title of the attraction from The Enchanted Tiki Room to The Enchanted Lower Back Pain Room.
Anyone want to write the new theme song?

Better than my "Hawaiian Lumbago-O-Rama, now with birds"

they look much better than the last chairs. I was shocked wheh I walked in and saw old school cheap rental type chairs. I didn't see the whole show though. When the audience started singing along it freaked me out and I was out that exit door sooo fast....I'm scared to go back in...

So that was YOU who ran out!! We thought you had to pee or something.

I agree. Especially since I do go to Disneyland solo a lot, I usually go to one of the sides that are not open, meaning the sides that are "enclosed" and are surrounded my three walls. Anyway, I always sit myself in the corner, I always make sure I can see everything good; the only main thing I make sure I can see is the Tiki gods on top. If I can see those clearly, I'm happy. But usually I justr sit, stretch out, rest my head on the padded back rest and enjoy the show.

What is wrong with people singing? They are just having a good time, plus the attraction birds ask you to sing along.

I was hoping this thread would be about a bizarre, rancid stench that the Tiki Room chairs were somehow exuding. The smell of rotting fruit and bird droppings, I guess.

..well, if you want a rotting fruit smell, the petrol for the fires in Indy sorta smells like that, if you ask me.

I love sitting in the back and it is still a comfortable place to sit. I wish the benches were more stable though and connected to the ground. People move them and squish your legs!

BTW- We sat by the funniest guys on Friday night that had a routine worked out to the whole program! They were awesome and a lot of fun!

If I'm not mistaken, the seating in WDW's Tiki Room is all benches too, so this is simply matching the other coast. Any confirmation from WDW regulars? Mark? ...

Do you actually see their mouths move? I used to think people sang along with the birds until I sat in the back and heard their voices coming from speakers behind me. "Let's all sing like the birdies sing...."

Granted, a few people will sing along, but the sound of audience singing is sweetened by audio coming from the back.

Being a classically trained singer, I have no problem singing along, even if all the other voices are "Memorex."
