I don't know how many times I have to tell you people that I have excellent vision and no need for a monocle.
Oh, dear. I've never had long hair and haven't parted it down down the middle since 1981. Also, it's been at least a year since I went on Mr. Toad. I'm overdue, but that wasn't me last month. And the John Hench book that @lazyboy97o quoted is excellent! It's a must read for any Disneyland fan.
But with better looking shoes.

Theme park without a thematic coherent theme.
really?
Theming is a rather loose term to begin with.
MK is a hodgepodge of themes that are themed by grouping them into 'lands'. But look at Frontierland that confuses Southern with Frontier. And how does the Haunted Mansion fit either Liberty Square or Frontier themes?
Or, take Adventureland. So... "Adventure" is a theme? Do you know the huge swaths of times and places in which 'adventure' can take place? All of the MK could have simply have been called "Adventure Kingdom" and there would have been no need for further subgrouping. Nevermind that Adventureland actually turns out to be Exotic Land, with 'exotic' defined as non-Western cultural stereotypes of the 1950's.

You seem to be confusing theme with setting and aesthetics, it is more than just those two qualities.

From an editorial on Micechat about the TOT:
"In many ways, the Tower truly was the rug that tied the park together, especially after the 2012 opening of Buena Vista Street. No matter where you saw it from, it just seemed to fit. It fit perfectly behind the Carthay Circle Theatre. And it fit perfectly when seen from A Bug’s Land, ironically not because of the film A Bug’s Life on which the land was based, but a competing studio’s film about ants – ANTZ. The Dreamworks/PDI film ends with the camera zooming out, and we learn that the ants live in the middle of Central Park, surrounded by tall towers. Had that taken place in California, The Hollywood Tower Hotel could easily have been one of those towers."
How does that rose colored glasses saying go again?

Did the author really make the claim that TOT fit in perfectly with Bugs Land because of a ending shot of the movie "Antz"? Am I totally missing something? Am I the only one that finds that laughable?

This description has me more excited for the ride than any of Rohdes interview descriptions and definitely more than the sight of the tower itself. Here's to hoping I get off the ride and appreciate the new experience for what it is and not be reminded of what it was.

The dates..
I mean.. Victorian style mansion that is haunted? and then considering that a lot of houses from the independence age are supposedly haunted.. Id say yes
But definitively not for Frontier Land.
Hu, Its like the movies, you theme things based on theme, this time its Adventure. And it fits well on the adventure terms (Jungle Cruise, Indiana Jones, etc.. )
I do not see the problem on this.
There is far worse problems with crapping an alien tower in the middle of golden age hollywood land.

Liberty Square is set before Queen Victoria was even born and the land was designed as part of a continuum with Frontierland.The dates..

LOL no I think I laughed out loud there too.
Adventure movies can take place in modern times, you know like all the adventure movies with Arnold and Fast and Furious car drivers?
Adventure does not mean limited to jungles on other non-USA continents.

No. And it just goes to show that people will draw all sorts of conclusions even when nothing has been implied.

I'm not ready to let this go. So because a non Disney movie zoomed out at the end and showed that the ants lived in Central Park and were surrounded by tall towers, and if that had taken place across the country in another state, the TOT could have easily been one of the towers we see in the last second of a non Disney movie, this tells me that TOT fits with Bugs Land perfectly?

As someone who is very anti overlay I was embarrassed to read that line. Does anybody edit these things? This is why a lot of us get labeled as doom and gloomers because you have some people that complain about every little thing and back up their opinions with this kind of reasoning.
