I was wondering the same thing but thats what she has listed??

I also don't know what Tropical serenade is or Mike Fink keel boats??

Did you know admission in 1971 was $3.50 but they had to pay for tickets booklets to ride the attractions.

Since when is "audio-animatronics" an attraction?

As per Susan's research, Audio-Animatronics was a musical revue that ran on opening day. It does not refer to the mechanical audio animatronics.

We now know the "Tropical Serenade" as the Tiki Room.

The "Mike Fink Keel Boats" were smaller, double deck wood boats that sailed on the Rivers of America. The loading zone was located in the now vacant building at the entrance to the Haunted Mansion.

Here's a pic of the Disneyland version.

We now know the "Tropical Serenade" as the Tiki Room.

Yet, Susan lists both the Tiki Room and Tropical Serenade!

I also take issue with listing the Skyway to Tomorrowland and the Skyway to Fantasyland as 2 separate attractions!

 

[mikelan6]

Well, this was a one way trip and each had it's own separate queue, so technically, it is correctly listed as two attractions.

We now know the "Tropical Serenade" as the Tiki Room.

Mikelan6. That's 100% correct. Susan's book also only lists the Tropical Serenade among the opening-day attractions. The Tiki Room took over later, before becoming the Enchanted Tiki Room- Under New Management (with Iago and Zazu) in 1998.

WOW you guys are right on it

Amen to that Kevin. Mickey Mouse Revue was one of my MK favorites.

The Keel Boats have recently returned to the Disneyland Park in DLP after many years of sitting unused. But they remain a VERY slow-loading attraction for a fairly innocuous ride, which is probably why the MK discontinued them in the first place.

I'd like to see them revive the Diamond Horseshoe Revue as it seems such a waste of this neat little theatre.
