I`m not going to drag up the usual "they don`t build `em / spend money like they used to" debates again. You and I will always agree to disagree on this I`m sure. Guess what though - I`m actually excited by the Seas Nemo ride and the PotC enhancements! As much as I miss WoM, I highly enjoy Test Track. I`d be the first to say, if it were here today, when is Horizons having a major update? I`m not all about dissing new development - indeed it`s one of the things that excites me the most about TWDC's parks in general. I`m just - possibly too - critical in my observations.
I didn't think that those interested in WDW history were allowed to think this way :lookaroun :animwink:
I pretty much have the same opinion and same park philosophy as what is posted above. Naturally, I'm going to be more skeptical about changes to my favorites, but I thought that was human nature? As far as Living Seas, POTC, and Nemo show at AK go, I'm totally behind these upcoming changes. But it doesn't mean that I can't enjoy the way Sea Base Alpha used to be and have great memories either.
I think where wannb is more innocent until proven guilty, me and you are more guilty until proven innocent :lol: (And of course that is an over generalization and not always accurate). But I do feel that if something is done well and I enjoy it, I'll be the first person to praise any change (The Land comes to mind very quickly). However sometimes it can be easy to be on the innocent until proven guilty side because no matter what argument can be used against a change, nothing ever seems to be good enough. Either "well the average guests like it better" or "at least it is better to have something new than something old" and etc.
If I can stop my "Deep Thoughts By Jack Handy" section of this post for a moment, I must say that I have never been to Pleasure Island so I have no problems personally with any changes that come along. Of course, I've also never been to DisneyQuest, mini golf, or ANY water park. When I'm at WDW, I either want to be at one of the 4 parks or at a resort.
A more family friendly atmosphere at PI might spark an interest in me because I have no desire to be around a drunk, party atmosphere (One of the reasons I don't like being in CityWalk while exiting a park at UO). However, I can feel for those big PI fans that enjoy the more adult atmosphere of this area. I think everyone knows that I can sympathize with that :lol:
