Just because this was inspired by America's 250th anniversary doesn't mean it has to be around only for the anniversary. Let's be honest. The original now entitled Soarin' Over California set the bar and is still the best. Soarin' Around the World meant well but it overstayed it's welcome with...

No. I'm just not fixated on worrying about the intrusion of a limo against Tower of Tower, for example. I'd guess that 99.99% of guests aren't either. They are there to enjoy being in a theme park, just like me.

I go to a theme park to enjoy myself and, yes, escape reality just for a little while. At the same time, I don't overthink every transition and theming element to the point that I'm completely miserable which is what a lot of people do on this forum.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Soarin' Over California (formerly known as simply "Soarin'") was around for a while. Soarin' Around the World was around for a while. This one can last beyond the 250th anniversary of the U.S. also.

I'm not aware of any "increased" visual "intrusion" as you call it. The car is in the same spot. Nothing has moved forward. And "emotional impact"? What? I'm at a theme park, wanting to go on rides. I'm not being introspective about my emotions. Besides, you're worried about the color scheme of...

Thanks for the clarification. So if both RnRC and ToT are in the present day, I don't understand the concern about clash in themes (not you), especially since we had the Aerosmith version for so long.

It does have some wacky waves on it similar to the Mayhem bus from The Muppet Movie but we won't know until completely finished.

Please tell me that's the sink.

If they really wanted a baseball feel in the men's restroom, they would have put in a trough for. . . oh never mind, and a circular sink. ;)

I've seen threads on X where people are criticizing the gray color toward the bottom. Don't shoot the messenger! Sigh. . .

My point exactly.

I didn't say otherwise. But it's so inside baseball that the dude is just cringe to me. Sorry, but he is.

Okay, fine. That's very inside baseball, though.

* Cringe *. Look, I get he's singing the original Living With The Land song but that hair. . . 🦰
