What a knockout punch. I'd never thought of it that way...a physical manifestation of nostalgia becoming nostalgia itself. That's actually a good barometer to measure whether a new attraction will be good or not - does it tug on your heartstrings from when you were younger? Even Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters fits this bill. From the generation that discovered Pong and onward, who doesn't want to be inside of a huge video game?
