It would be nice if they could show some of the original movies like Symbiosis and the original O Canada in the theaters that day

That would be cool....or slide show of past pictures or events?

I wonder if to get the specific merch you'll have to line up at like 5 a.m. like you did for MK's 40th. Hopefully not...

I'm off that day, so it looks like I'll be spending some quality time with my favorite park for it's 30th birthday... I can add that map to my collection of MK ones...

For those lucky enough to attend (I wish I could), I hope they handle the merchandise situation better. MK's "get into a line to wait forever, just to get into another line inside" was utter stupidity.

That should be interesting. Doesn't Tony hate what they did to the ride? I seem to remember Martin and Spirit mentioning that...

Yeah how ironic is that going to be, I mean its going to be so difficult for him to not say something about the current one. But I hope management or TDO or whomever hears what he has to say that day and wakes up and realizes just how awful the current one is compared to the old.

Just wondering where did you get that schedule? That is actually the cast schedule as nothing has been released for guests officially.
