Lame, lame, lame and may I add ... LAME.

There are huge differences between original installations of these attractions and their refurbishments:
- Disneyland was built without guests around. Construction crews could move about freely.
- They were able to work around the clock much easier.
- There were far fewer Federal/OSHA/local government/etc. rules and restrictions that had to be followed back in the 50's and 60's
- It is FAR easier to build something new on a blank slate than to rebuild/refurbish something within the confines of a tight existing place (Space Mountain REALLY comes to mind on this point).
- Disneyland was built by an entrepreneur. It is now run by a corporation.

I now have an image of OUR Chernabog standing in one of the dioramas in
