This thing took three weeks to resolve? Three weeks?! I've been wondering how it came out...looks like it happened while I was on our last cruise. I love the one article in which Loser Boy claims he had no idea it was a thrill ride. Yeah, jackass, rides called things like the Tower of TERROR are usually gentle, happy, snuggly-huggy trips into Smooth Land. I'm sad he's been in the gene pool for 80 whole years.

Alas, I must revise my opinion. I have evidence that Disney not only promotes this dangerous ride to the eldery, but that it suckers them into believing they are going to a harmless game of Bingo:

(Isn't that the best commercial ever? It's actually from DL Paris.)

He probably thought it was Darph seeing how much a cup of domestic beer cost.
