Good-bye New Guinea, Hello USA

I was just thinking last night how south things turned after the 50th. Pirhanas on Jungle Cruise = brilliant. Floating Leota in Haunted Mansion = the best ride update ever done.

Afterwards: thinking the heartbeating bride was so iconic that she needed to go, and be replaced by the video screen without a beating heart. I cringe every time I ride thru the attic.

Johnny Depp is not the worst part of the Pirates Update. That honor goes to Barnacle Bill or whatever his name is, who decimated the best (imo) part of the ride. I rarely ride this anymore.

Finding Nemo is a cruise past a series of video monitors. The view of the ride from outside is better than the experience of the ride from inside.

The same can be said of the shiny new monorails, unless you want sauna.

Wrong turn taken somewhere.

Odd that the best new ride in a generation is at DCA ... and proves that you can make riding past a series of video monitors a really fun experience.

Maybe the new it's a small world will pleasantly surprise me as much as Midway Mania did.

But I'm not holding my breath.
