Guess TDO didnt really think this one through and they got called out.
Should happen more often really...
It makes me wonder why, after years and years of a fairly vocal Disney fanbase complaining about broken attractions or other TDO blunders that Disney would back down to this group of people.
Although looking at America and 1/3 of the population being overweight they certainly do not want to alienate a large base of fans.
Kind of sad when saying the right thing has such a huge backlash.
Wow pretty scathing article. Comparing Disney to the school bully and not concentrating on the real problem of obesity. No one wants a kid to feel embarassed or ashamed while on vacation(especially). But I believe the message is correct. Although I do agree the problem is not the childs fault. It's up to the parrent to allow for proper nutrition and good habits. That is not so easy today with the advent of our fast food nation and multiple income family scenarios. But it does come down to the responsibility of the parent to model good behavior.I'm guessing it's because this came out yesterday:

I thought it was a really well done attraction. Anything that promotes fitness and healthy living is a good thing in my opinion. The USA certainly needs all the help it can get in that area.
If the attraction is getting reworked, I hope it is in execution and not message. I don't think there is a problem with promoting healthy habits, but on an attraction level I didn't think it was executed all that well.
I am sort of curious, besides the message, what about this did you think made it a good attraction? I'm genuinely curious, not trying to be sarcastic.
What was your issue with the execution? I thought that for an Innoventions exhibit it was probably second only to Sum of All Thrills.
Hey Steve why no trip report?For an Innoventions attraction, I thought there were a number of plus points. There was actually a sense of Imagineering quality to the wait area and the pre-show room Some nice details, and some real effort.
The actual game systems were quite comprehensive for an Innoventions exhibit. They do come from Space Mountain, Toy Story Mania, and Soarin, but even so, to include them in Innoventions shows some ambition for this attraction.
Solidifying all that would be the actual message of it. I was very pleased to see someone having the guts to really tell everyone the reality of health and fitness. American (and England) needs a good dose that.
As I was saying before, I would say it was the best Innoventions addition after Sum of All Thrills.

TDO does not make all the decisions. The specific departments do that!
People like you are so uninformed.
