    Default El Rio del Tiempo or Los Tres Caballeros?

    I understand that they probably changed this ride to gain a little more attention and riders, but I enjoyed the old one. It was so trippy and neat. Which one did you enjoy most?

    I have to go for the Los Tres Caballeros (The Three Caballeros)

    The old one was so out of date and the revamp is much better

    I actually prefer tne new version, but I miss the days when you could pick up a margarita from outside and bring it on the ride.

    I don't mind the new version, but I prefer the old one. It was in serious need of refurbishment, so I don't mind that they went in a slightly new direction, but I'm not sure it had to be a character-driven direction. Donald's my husband's favorite, so he really likes it.

    Since I haven't rode Los Tres Caballeros, I voted for El Rio De Tiempo. I like when you went to the marketplace and the lady followed your boat.

    I liked the old version but I'm ok with the new version. TThey kept some of the cool elements from before, which I appreciate. The thing I miss the most is the old narration, especially that first part, going through the tunnel. And I miss those circa '70's tourists in the hot tub. I guess I thought of the old one as kind of a history/culture lesson and that doesn't really get "dated" - although I know it at least needed some refurb love.

    Of all the recent changes at WDW, this is one of the ones I mind the least.

    I liked the old version a little better than the new, but I agree that it was in need of a refurb! I'm glad they kept quite a bit from the old ride, though, like the fiberoptic fireworks on the ceiling toward the end. That was always my favorite part!

    This was a hard one...the old was so cheesy, but the new one isn't awesome either.

    At the end of the day, I went for the new one...DD really liked it better

    I voted for the old. There are parts of the old version that needed some help and refurb, but just changing all the videos to have Donald is not the solution. Its just a band-aid on what needed to be a complete revamp.

    I found the old one slightly boring so I voted for the new version but I agree that a bigger refurb is needed

    These were my feelings exactly the first time I rode the new version.

    I went with El Rio del Tiempo, but I honestly like them both. Maybe the original slightly better.

    I went with the new version. I thought the updates were a good blend of Meixcan culture and Disney characters. Plus my kids loved the new ride, they made me ride it several times.

    I never had a problem with the old ride but I thought it was showing it's age and needed an update and this case they did a good job.
