Ok, after reading a message I forget where about someone talking about Small World (WDW) needing a rehab/refurb what have you.
I agree.
I think the queue needs a major redesign (enter Jesse). I'll do it. LOL. I prefer the Disneyland version of the attraction facade so much better than the one in WDW. Just painting the walls in 60's graphic design is not going to replicate the design and feel of the original. So.. why not try something else? I like the idea, it just doesn't work here. I think something beautiful could be done in the queue. It seems to me that there is alot of empty wasted space in this area also. I like the water, but its too empty... no focal points. If I remember correctly, the one in DL has topiaries and gardens you kind of ride through before the actually attraction building.
And whats with the cheesy "cultural" photographs of the children at the end as you walk up the ramp into Fantasyland? They look like bad Airport travel posters. Some are faded also. Dammit that stuff bugs me! lol.
I think the water area in the queue should have more elaborate fountains, maybe some islands or something built in them to be interesting. Because honestly, we just all watch the people get into the damn boat while on line. And I don't want to see TV's mounted from the ceiling! lol.
Ok, I'm demanding, but I'm willing to take on the challenge of making this attraction's line more interesting.
The attraction itself is a classic and should remain so, with just new paint and care etc.
Just my thoughts on something that has bothered me since my first visit to WDW in 1989. LOL.

. The ride is a keeper though, tradition for the kiddies.
