Hmm, if Heelies are being a sponsor, how soon will it be before they sell them AT WDW and DLR?
So that you can GLIDE like Ariel!!
The one disappointing thing about running the Disney Half-Marathon was that one of the sponsors was Heelies. Why would the accept sponsorship from something that is technically not allowed in the parks? What next? Smith and Wesson?

I think the answer to why heelies is because they allow her to "pop" the wheels when she needs to glide but walk normally when she is dancing or standing on stage. I also think the clip on the Tony's was missing some scenery that makes her blend in a bit more with her tail in that position so it looks more like she's swimming.

Well, I personally prefer H&K, Beretta and Glock, but that might be a good idea. And don't forget second chance!
It WOULD take care of a lot of line jumpers!!!
hehehehe

I'm pretty sure I saw a sign a few months ago at the entrance to WDW stating a policy against allowing certain things - one of which definitely included heelies.

same here! at first though, i think 'trip and fall, trip and fall, TRIP. AND. FALL.'. and then i have the urge to trip them. i look at them, think about, then realize their parents will get all bitchy and i decide i don't want to deal with that.

It's too bad that the wheels on those things can not self distruct. It would be nice to walk through the parks with out being mowed over by these brats. :twisted:
