'it's a small world' Refurbishment July 27-29

[LittleBuford]

Well, don't get me started on how the Africa room has underrepresented nations, but plenty of animals!!

Imagine cutting out half the European dolls and replacing them with deer and goats.

On this we agree entirely. I hope they address the imbalance soon.

But the display already includes Irish children (if that’s how we’re supposed to interpret the dolls—I guess I never really saw them as kids before). The leprechauns are additional place-making characters, not much different from the animals that feature throughout the attraction.

I stand corrected. I rechecked and there are indeed Irish children Irish stepdancing.

And yeah, they are supposed to be the children of the world. Which makes the Can Can dancers and the ones in military garb a bit icky.

Some light NSFW language...

Thanks for that—I really enjoyed it!

I supposed I knew they’re supposed to represent children (for one thing, I’ve seen the programme being parodied in the clip you shared), but I tend to see them as ageless dolls—otherwise, as you say, some of them become a little icky.

NOW FIX THE LEPRECHAUNS that haven't worked in OVER 2 years, and replace ALL the lightbulbs on the rollercoaster in the last room that also haven't worked in 2 years!!! Jeez, an hour and a box of bulbs...

They're waiting for the custom Al Gore LED bulbs that are on backorder.

Yeah, and rather then just shipping them UPS, he's hand delivering them in his private fuel guzzling jet...

Because Al Gore has SO-O much to do with Small World refurbishment... He is not even politically relevant anymore so drop it... Stay off politics.

I'm NOT the one who brought it up, so your "beef" is with the wrong poster...

Sorry about that. I do agree that we should avoid discussing irrelevant politics.

Sorry about that. I do agree that we should avoid discussing irrelevant politics.

Are we sure they won't? It's a pretty simple area to work on while the park is closed that doesn't really require scaffolding or anything.

Bobby C loves to paint stuff. Its fast, cheap, and folks notice. It does look good - see! Bobby C was right

I’m not 100% sure. But the ride went down for refurbishment and this was done during that time. Seems odd if they were planning to do it all why they would do in sections. But I’m hoping they do!

Thanks, I hate it!

Thanks, I hate it!

It's like they just ran out of paint. Either go with colors like in Hong Kong or leave it as white like Disneyland.
