Okay, lucretziathevagabond, you must tell us the origin of your name!

Your dragon safety spiel should be coming soon. You might want to have buckets of water standing by.

Greetings lucretziathevagabond, I am the resident dragon and would like to offer you a very warm* welcome to that slice of the internet we call SGT. This website contains threads with quick twists and turns and I would like to advise you to not try too hard to keep up with them. Please keep your hands, arms, and legs safely inside the website at all times and enjoy your stay.

*this instance of warm is actually hot**... very hot

**this instance of hot means that you are now literally on fire, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience

That's why I carry the fire extinguisher, Wombat.

My list - plus a couple:

Stitch's Great Escape - because of the bouncing shoulder restraint. Ouch!

It's Tough to be a Bug - because of the "bee" sting. Ouch!

Mission Space - because of the nausea. Barf!

Spaceship Earth - because of the new ending. What's memorable about watching a video?!

Ellen's Energy Adventure - because it's great except for the fact that they need to HURRY THE HELL UP!

Tomorrowland Speedway - because it's about as unmagical as it gets. What a waste of space.

The Big Hat in Hollywood Studios - because it RUINS the theme.

But when you're a kid you can't wait to be tall enough and then beg your parents to let you drive!

It's also fun to watch my 6'2 husband try to get in one of those cars!

Yes, we all tend to forget that when Walt said that he wanted a place where children and parents could have fun together that he meant that you had kids with you and you had to design things that they liked too. The common misconception of his statement is that everything that is there should be generic to the degree that every single person, regardless of age, will enjoy it equally. Kind of an impossible task. Let's at least try to keep a few things that kids might like better then their traveling companions do.

Okay, perhaps your right, but surely they could come up with a better theme for this. Why is it the "Tomorrowland" Speedway when there isn't anything remotely "Tomorrowland" about it?

Maybe because in the future we'll let little kids drive??? That's my theory, at least.

Weren't the cars originally futuristic? I rode it for the first time since I was little on Wednesday and it was enjoyable. I still miss it being the Grand Prix, I guess too many kids don't know what a grand prix is now.

For kids, it is their tomorrow. How's that?
