Lame, lame, lame and may I add ... LAME.

There are huge differences between original installations of these attractions and their refurbishments:

• Disneyland was built without guests around. Construction crews could move about freely.
• They were able to work around the clock much easier.
• There were far fewer Federal/OSHA/local government/etc. rules and restrictions that had to be followed back in the 50's and 60's
• It is FAR easier to build something new on a blank slate than to rebuild/refurbish something within the confines of a tight existing place (Space Mountain REALLY comes to mind on this point).
• Disneyland was built by an entrepreneur. It is now run by a corporation.

I now have an image of OUR Chernabog standing in one of the dioramas in iasw waving at everybody as they float by. I think that would be pretty funny.

Well, Bjork does need to be added to the Icelandic diorama, as well!

Which is funny, because until I read THIS post, I didnt realize that we were NOT talking about our Chernabog.

Making a suitable replacement for the Gay-tor, I might add.

Well, it's a world of laughter a world of queers.... :P *groan* hahah if anyone with camera and photoshop knowledge wants to have some fun for some new avatars, I'm game

Here's what I wrote on MiceChat:

I hardly consider myself a "Disney Purist" or even a big fan of iasw but I think that the addition of Disney cartoon characters in that ride sucks eggs.

It is one thing to "plus" the attraction in the spirit of the attraction -- see, for instance, the plussing done to the Jungle Cruise (perfect) and the Haunted Mansion (yes, I know it is debatable with Constance, but for me it doesn't take me out of the attraction... it's still the same mood as the ride).

Plussing that has really screwed up the mood, feel and/or spirit of the attraction? Pirates is a perfect example. It puts you into a specific time, place and storyline which is less fun, less imaginative, less evocative of the mood, less stimulating to the imagination.

Disney characters in iasw were sort of fun when, for instance, there was a little Stitch plastic item as a present on the surfer's board during the holiday version... stuff like that (i.e. the dolls were getting disney presents for xmas). But actually adding them to the ride? Aren't there other specific places for all of those characters? How does screwing with an attraction for the sole sake of changing it "plus" the attraction? How does it have to do with children all over the world holding hands and getting along? If these changes are made, then iasw will be about children playing with Disney toons all over the world -- did they re-hire Paul Pressler when we weren't looking?

Stupid, stupid idea Disney. If they add Disney toons it will cheapen the ride. There are other ways to plus it -- adding show scenes, adding special effects, covering up the tiled ceiling, adding more dolls, making it brighter and happier -- THAT is plussing the ride.
