That we like it better? That's a good question! I don't know, I suppose I'd have to say when they get the numbers in the gate that they first expected.

It may taste better but it's still pretty awful.

Sure, if that's all they planned to do. But they plan to rework the look and add rides as well. So now you can take the mud, add milk, and add honey as well! Yum!

For a very long time I've thought that DCA could be fixed by splitting it into two separate parks. One, to the East, being a full-blown Hollywood themed park. Expand out into the Esplanade and the Timon lot, and connect to the strawberry fields with your glamourtram tour. Or, better yet, a Glamorail! Use the Hyperion as a legit concert venue, and finish the Studio Park Lite as a full-fledged Disney Studio blow-out.

The other side of the park is my favorite. A True-Life Adventure themed park. You keep the Pacific Northwest, high desert, and farm areas (with, of course, enhancements) and Paradise Pier is either scrapped and turned completely into the ocean themed section of the park, or you fit your ocean themed exhibits into a bustling, turn-of-the-century seaside amusement park. I miss the educational elements that used to permeate so much of Disneyland, wouldn't it be nice to bring that back in a park with that as its focus?

That's actually a very interesting idea, and a natural flow of the already laid areas. But would the land of the Timon lot be enough for that park to be worth a gate of it's own? I suppose if they get rid of the Lion King tram service and put the drop off in the little temporary parking lot off Harbour, it may work. But connecting to the land on the other side of Harbour is going to be a feat in itself....

Ok, so now I killed this thread!

Eh, not really. Weekend killed the thread. Heheh, whilst no one was posting in this thread, a whole lot of us swankers were at Disneyland, of all places, giving a Frenchman the air-conditioned bar tour of the resort.

Relax, it's a 3-day. LoT will be dead on such long weekends, even deader than on regular ones.


We'll return to saving DCA after Labor day.



And it will be quite a labor to save DCA.

Some of us gave the Frenchman a tour of Universal Studios

[innerSpaceman]

Yes, but giving him the Disneyland Tour let us show off some improvements over what he finds in Florida.
