Were there complaints about Splash Mountain? I don't recall any. Space Mountain also seems to have been greeted with general enthusiasm.
Alex's example of New Fantasyland met with zero bitching.
The people who complain about POOR changes at Disneyland are not advocating that it be a museum. I'm pretty sick of hearing that completely unfounded charge ... that I believe even the people making it know is full of sh!t.
Take a look at Mr. Lutz's update. There are photos of the America section of France's it's a small world. Note the competley generic, non-MaryBlair stylings of the cardboard cut-out sets. Now if WDI were to say we were getting those generic sets here in Anaheim, would that be an improvement? Would a complaint that they suck compared to the 1964 Mary Blair designs be calls for the Park to be a museum?
What, in fact, about the generic France it's a small world soundtrack that we were saddled with for over a decade? Was the restoration of the original World's Fair soundtrack an anachronism or was it an improvement?
Please don't insult our intelligence with those lame charges of museumification. Feel free to differ with our taste, but don't play those bullsh!t games with us of pretending we don't want anything in the Park to ever change.
