I try not to resist change, but there are some things that are classic and really do not need to be updated. After all, at Al Lutz pointed out, IASW ferries 2000 guests per hour. Since it was installed, it's still significant that the ride still maintains this kind of ridership.
Given the original premise of IASW to be just that and dedicated to children all over the world, I do not see there to be a need to turn this into a Fantasyland/Toontown attraction with the addition of Mickey, Minnie and others. Upgrading and repainting and taking care of the wider berths of the visitors (such as myself) that's a good thing.
I can't comment on the Pixarization of the subs since I do not remember them from my youth. I know I rode it, but I'll be damned if I remember it. So, I rode it, enjoyed the Nemo subs and don't feel pressed to ride it every visit to the park.
Change is good, but I do not always think adding Pixar/Pirates theming to all the attractions to moderize them or upgrade them for the youth of today and the future. I'm still on the fence about Pirates as I think the franchise is dead (it died for me after Pirates I) and as previously mentioned (Morrigoon?) I miss the original soundtrack. The attraction came first and I'd prefer to see it remain true to the original. That said, the changes are not offensive and I can live with them.
I may be in the minority, I realize it is OLD, but I'd love to see the Swiss Family return to the treehouse. Of course nobody has seen the film or read the book, so it's probably moot. I've already expressed my sentimental desire to see a return of the Peoplemovers, that would be nice for movement in Tomorrowland.
A new, original, e-ticket somewhere in the park would be great!
