I saw it in 2004 and really liked it !
Does anyone know what is going to replace it ??
And is DinoLand in AK closing or anything ???
We are going in November and I wanted to know....
Thanks a Big Ole' Disney Bunch !! :surfweb: :teacher: :clown: :hippie: :firefight :donald: :figment:
P.S. My 4 year old DD is having fun picking out the smilie face dudes!!
 
I haven't heard what they are replacing it for. What I would really like to know is what the actor that played Tarzan will be doing. I hope they put him in another show. My only suggestion is that he be required to where nothing but his loin cloth!! :hyper: What a Body!!!! :worship:

Very Funny (But True) !! ::yes::
Good Thing I took lots of pix at that show so I can go back and remember!
I was wondering if they were going to "scrap" that whole theatre or just put some other show in there ??
 

True! Tarazan Rocks is closed for good.

Here is the scoop:
The Theatre is getting renovated and will be closed-in. Rumor has it that the Tarzan show will be replaced with a Finding Nemo themed show.
 
I loved this show. We saw it in Sept. 2003 and my very favorite thing about it was that the female lead for the day I saw was a very attractive normal sized woman. She was thin enough but didn't look like her last meal was a month ago. Way to go Disney!!
 
We heard it was closing and so we went to see it 2 weeks ago, and we really enjoyed it more than we did the first time. I'm glad I saw it aagi
 
I love Finding Nemo.......that could be a great show !!
I love the suspense of waiting to see what transpires !!
I'm glad I saw Tarzan though! :fish: :smickey:
 
This is most certainly closed, it is currently piles of dirt as they remake the theater in front of EE(across the bridge). It was a cool show while it was there. I am very curious as to what it is going to be. :banana:
 
When i was there in december a cm told me that this was only a rumor. it will be an enclosed show with finding nemo.
 
IT really stinks that Tarzan is gone....It was my favorite show...wonder why...guess me being a 14 year old girl and Tarzan being totally nice to look at would have anything to do with that :rolleyes1

Wonder if the guy who played Tarzan will be half-naked anywhere else in the park??

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
 
Wow, I did a double take when I read someone did this 2 weeks ago . . . but then I saw that this is a 2 month old thread . . . :rolleyes1
 
I have heard the rumors for months now that the new show will be a Finding Nemo show. However, Lou Mongello (author of the WDW trivia book) said on his most recent podcast that there are also rumors that it will be a new Tarzan show, like the Beauty and the Beast show at the Studios. He said he believes that more than the Nemo rumors because the pavilion will be finished and ready just after the musical Tarzan hits Broadway. Iger's really into leveraging big events and spreading them into the parks too. I have no idea which is true, but I think the new Tarzan show makes more sense to me. Besides, Nemo should be covered by the new Living Seas attraction. Oh, Lou also mentioned that he leaned toward the Tarzan show because there aren't any memorable songs from Nemo, while there are several from Tarzan.

All that being said, I'd prefer a Nemo show myself.

The podcast is called "Mouse | Tunes" if you want to check it out. It's really a good podcast. It was the 3/26 episode I believe that talked about this. If not that one, then try the 3/19.
 
Read somewhere that it was going to be a Nemo themed puppet show and the reason they are enclosing the theater is because of the noise from Expedition Everest.

We just saw "Disney On Ice: Finding Nemo". If they make the show anything like that (I don't mean on ICE), it would be spectacular.

Nemo (on ice) was astounding and VERY entertaining for the costumes, lighting, sets, props and special effects.
I thought after seeing the show that this would be GREAT to see (in some smaller form) at that DAK theater. (BTW, they added some Beatles songs, Yellow Submarine and Octopus' Garden, for some of the "dance" numbers.)

FWIW, Tarzan (a slimmed-down version of the Broadway show) could be very good too.
 
According to MousePlanet, they are premiering one of the new songs for the new Nemo show at this weekend's grand opening of EE. Tarzan just opened in previews at the Richard Rogers theater on Broadway.

I head that Tarxan is going to Broadway.
There is a Tarzan show on Broadway now. However that had nothing to do with closing the show at AK. The two shows are entirely different.
