On the importance of attraction names

[innerSpaceman]

Train's a great example. But then why is Haunted House so unbearably wrong? (I cringe whenever I hear it, which is far too often).



Next time we're all at the Park (btw, how does Sunday, Xmas eve, sound to anybody???) ... let's refer to all the rides by their vehicles and see if we can understand what we're talking about!

I think it's a uniqueness thing. "Haunted House" is a generic. The whole point of the Haunted Mansion is that it ISN'T a carnival Haunted House. It's THE Haunted Mansion.

I think a more interesting exercise would be spendng the day calling the attractions only by their proper names. Of course, we seldom venture past Main Street these days so neither would be much of a challenge... "Let's go to Bar"

I can probably come after Hanukkah dinner with my parents. I may even bring latkas
