I think what's funny about adding a USA section to the ride (presumably in normal attire) is that I suspect it will make the "politically incorrect" stand out all the more.

The entire thing is made up of dolls dressed in the folk garb of different countries. (This, IMO, is not racist, but a reflection of history of culture.) Even the two dolls representing US are wearing what can be considered OUR most 'historic folk garb' - dressed as a cowboy and a native american. The second you switch a section to include normally-dressed kids from the USA, it's going to clash with the folk-garb style of the rest of the ride, and make it seem racist.

I'd like to point out that the Hawaiian children also represent the USA.
;)

They should just rip the stupid ride out altogether and put Rockin Roller Coaster in the spot.

Gasp!
May your next parking spot be Minnie 1K!

:D

Rockin' Rollercoaster would be awesome with a remix of It's A Small World - just have tons of doll heads surrounding the track - then sell off pieces of the old ride as a tribute.

I posted some pics of the new dolls in my livejournal.

I also posted a couple pics of the new boats backstage.

You sneeky devil!

I knew I should have bookmarked your page! ;)

Yeah, yeah, I (for whatever reason) didn't make the connection, there. Still, they're definitely wearing folk garb, aren't they?

Oh please, Hawaiians aren't real Americans.

can you sneak in an URL so those of us who do not know the LJ spot can take a gander?
