El Rio Del Tiempo Reopens As Gran Fiesta Tour

Posted by jeffgn on Saturday, April 07 @ 20:08:33 EDT
Epcot News and Info Gran Fiesta Tour has opened in the Mexico Pavilion in Epcot. So long to the old El Rio Del Tiempo and hello to Donald Duck.

The new ride is the same except the movies have been changed along with the last scene has been changed.

I'll say the attraction needed up dating, but I'm not sure this is a good update. Seems imagineering could have done more with it. I'm sure there was a budget and they probably used all of it. Wish there had been a tad bit more on it.

Update:  Yesterday was the first actual time that I was able to ride the Gran Fiesta Tour in Epcot for myself.  I'll have to say that it was an good ride and shouldn't be missed.   It's a much faster pace due to the up beat music so the ride seems faster than it really is.    More could have been done with the Donald Duck overlay, but all in all I have to say that it is in improvement.   

It does split from the original view of the Mexico attraction, so this will appeal to a different Disney World crowd for sure.    It will pump a little life into an older Disney movie franchise and add's another attraction that pumps more Disney characters into Epcot.
