Somos muy tristes. El Rio del Tiempo Rehab

[Friend of Figment]

I guess I'm different than the rest of you, but I hope they do something to fix this ride. Mexico is a fabulous country and the ride is so disjointed and dated. I especially hate the weird vendors at the end. Hopefully the new ride will better reflect the real Mexico.

We Love this ride!!
Clean it up, but do not change it. We love the nostalgic feel of the ride and look forward to riding every trip!

Those videos are seriously dated - I think they were old when the ride first opened! They should update and clean it up a bit, but it's one of those attractions where the simplicity of it makes it worth the trip. It's purpose as an Epcot attraction is to tell a general history of the Mexican people and culture, not to sell chachki's at ride's end.

We can only hope the ride updates not changes.

I thought I would push this thread back up because it seems appropriate given they sold out El Rio de Tiempo as I feared five months ago. Quoting from Spaceballs, "merchandising, it is the power of the schwartz".

I am REALLY going to miss El Rio De Tiempo...I went so far as to make that song my RINGTONE after the first time I went on it!!!

I hope the new one is going to be good...it would be even better if it had a catchy song!

I guess it was only a matter of time before they changed it. But why not keep some of the aspects, like the song, in the ride?

I mean afterall, it is not about Disney, it is about Mexico.

I'm going to close this since it is an old topic and there is already an active discussion underway in reference to the Mexico pavilion.

Thanks.
