Curse you, Disney!

Kids need to play, need to explore and discover! Also, if girls dream of getting dressed up and having their picture taken with a princess, boys dream of forts with secret tunnels to run through. The island is the perfect boy answer to the New Girlieland they turned FL into.

WHY DOES DISNEY HATE LITTLE BOYS? WHY DOES DISNEY HATE YOUR KIDS? :p

Next will be the extremely dangerous barrel bridges. So unsteady under foot, if a guest was to fall into the river the gators might get them. Lets just close the entire island... I STRONGLY AGREE with you....Damn this Litigation Nation of Illiterate, Politically-Correct Softies we have become.

However, these may be one of those rare instances something better is built. I can see why TSI creates plenty of liability problems. Time to reimagine that corner of the park.

Well that crushes any hope I had.

TSI is going the way of the dodo. It is being declined-by-degree into oblivion. All the fun stripped away, until the surveys of what few guests still venture out there will reveal nothing but dissappointment. After which they can close the island, turn it into a Lone Ranger/Woody D-ticket, and permanently dock the Liberty Belle, reduced to a lavishly themed snack cart.

Bah.

Some TSI love.



Don't forget the ol' burning cabin - which has been down for ages now. Technically not so much "part of TSI" as it is "on TSI." But still... One of my favorite memories from the old days.



More cattle boarding over spring break...

I was at WDW from April 18-25 and each day I was at the MK, TSI had three rafts running, and most were full. The island is still pretty popular....and what's there is in good shape. All they'd have to do is create a couple of "lawyer approved" play pieces, in the style of the old boulder-go-round and teeter-totter rock, and open up Aunt Polly's with a small menu AND lemonade, and TSI would really improve on that "place to take the kids to let off some steam" theme. With all the interactive games popping up, how about a scavenger-type hunt, where kids have to search for certain items unique to the island, mark the items location on a map, and pick a winner for the day from all the correct entries. Winners could be notified the next day in person or by email and a small "trinket" could be the prize. I don't think anyone in MK management thinks creatively about this attraction at all....the only thing that probably gets talked about is the labor to run the place.
