Q: I have always loved Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland, partly because of its history and the fact that it was the first full Audio-Animatronics show. At the time of the Tiki Room‘s opening, in 1963, there was a full control room for the show located right underneath it (as seen on the Disneyland 10th anniversary show). This control room looked to be very complex for its time. Since Audio-Animatronics technology has certainly advanced by leaps and bounds since the Tiki Room‘s opening, what is this control room used for today, if anything?

A: The room is still used for its original purpose, though the technology has indeed changed.
