I love that so much I just made it my custom user title (ran out of room for the s, however). :twisted:

OK, who wants to organize this for a Disney park? ;)

That would be funny! And not destructive at all, so you couldn't be called a SG for doing it!!

That way we could still enjoy the parks!!

First thing I'm doing tomorrow morning is making a "Walt said NO FERRIS WHEELS" t-shirt!

Unfortunately Walt also said No Roller Coasters, but later relented when he was convinced that the imagineers could make one that was themed and wasn't just an unsightly jumble of unsafe looking (if not in reality) scaffolding. What he got was the Matterhorn.

Walt was able to change his mind about restrictions. But the new attraction had to be something out of the ordinary and themed to a particular idea. I think that is why so many of us have a problem with Dinoland. Sure the theme of a roadside attraction fair is actually fitting with the theme of the area. But even if the theme fits with generally off the shelf "rides" (I can't really call them attractions) there should be something to each of them that is above and beyond the normal. IMHO

Noooooooooo! I cannot stand it when I'm walking along, minding my own business, looking at the scenery, and the people in front of my stop in the middle of the path for no apparent reason! If you need to stop, at least move to the side of the path first. Argh!

Also, there are other places where this might be a poor choice. In the middle of a line, springs entirely to mind....

Good point, we would have to make sure everyone was out of lines, but then again, if you are reading here, you could be a part of it!

Dinoland, U.S.A. is a cool concept, but it's not communicated well enough. So it looks like this unsightly area that doesn't fit anywhere in a Disney park if you don't know that it's supposed to be that. That's my issue.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
