[QUOTE="Teflon Billy, post: 1822311, member: 264"] Well, this is sucking. :\ Closed: [B]Space Mountain[/B], [B]the Matterhorn[/B], [B]It's a Small World[/B], [B]Cinderella's Castle[/B], [B]the Tiki Lounge [/B] and [B]The Pirate Ship[/B]. What manner of mindset is it that closes most of your "signature" attractions at a theme park and still sees fit to open the doors? Also, [b]the Haunted Mansion[/b] has been entriely re-done in an effort to shill [b]The Nightmare Before Christmas[/b]. And it is singularly awful. No longer is anything about it creepy, or archaic looking. It's all just a buch of slapped-together cartoony-looking naughty word. [b]The Swiss Family robinson Treehouse[/b] has--in respone to disney's need to shill their Tarzan video--[b]Tarzan's Treehouse[/b]. [b]The Jungle Cruise[/b] has been changed from any semblance of a "boat safari through deepest, darkest Africa" to a comedy routine extolling how basically idiotic the ride is, blended liberally with politically correct re-imaginingas of the scenes presented (The pride of lions surrounding a downed Zebra in their lair are described by the Boat's pilot as "Lion's who have been given the important job of guarding the sleeping Zebra"). The [B]Penny Arcade[/B] on [i]Mainstreet USA[/i]--once a very elaborate display of functional turn of the century arcade machines is now Five (5) machines fronting an immense candy store. [b]Tom Sawyer Island[/b] is now minus the burning homestead on the border of "Native Territory" and has an added Native Village where paceful Native American robots listen to a wise elder talk about their invention of the flute. [b]Tomorrowland[/b] seems to have run entirely out of "Future" for want of a better term. The old, cheesy "Shrinking Machine" (which gave a pretty interesting description of basic atomic structures as you rode along enjoying the show) has been replaced with "[I]Honey, I Shrunk the Audience[/I]"...a short 3D film, brought to you by the good folks at Kodak. [b]The Submarine Ride[/b] is gone (as apparently submarines are not "Futuristic" enough for the mighty Tomorrowland), yet somehow the Science Fictional experience of [i]Driving a car[/i] lives on. I've gotten old. there is nothing here for me any longer but a giant marketing machine without even the charm of their "Classic" attractions like [B]Small World [/B] or [B]Space Mountain[/B]. I have utterly [I]wasted[/I] a ton of money. [/QUOTE]
