The FLE video is very cool. I really hope the mine cart ride system works! Then, use the technology for an Indiana Jones ride at hollywood studios or even AK!! I know I'll take some hits for the Indy ride in AK, but it would make sense in India/Asia.

<way off topic>Well, the love rings true. Two sausage McMuffins today. Where else can you get such a delicious breakfast for $2.18? I eat there regularly, and according to my recent physical, I'm in peak physical shape. How about that, Super Size Me guys?!</way off topic>

I assume you:

a) don't eat McD's for every meal and order the biggest portions and,
b) exercise on a regular basis

If so, there's a bit of a difference between you and the SSM guys. :lol:

Well obviously both (a) and (b) are true. My point with that tongue in cheek comment was that their sensationalist reporting could be applied to anything.

I could make a video about how water is bad for you if you drink it in excess!

The point is that human behavior is what makes any type of consumption "bad." Not McDonald's, or any other food, itself. The message should be, "don't consume like a moron, and make sure you live healthy overall," not, "MCDONALD'S IS TERRIBLE, IF YOU EAT THERE YOU'LL DIE AT AGE 20!!!!" as that's clearly not the case.

Again, way off topic...sorry.

In D23 news, the few people inside are facing HUGE lines at all of the shops. I linked to a photo from the WDI store on my site.

Let's be fair, Morgan Spurlock only super sized when he was asked and exercised until he became too depressed. He always did like the breakfasts better though. :D

If they're not announced at the Expo I do believe they will be announced in the near future(at least 2 of them).


-MISICI changing into a new street party
-New day parade for Magic Kingdom
-Fantasmic rehab with major changes(scene redos, new effects etc)

At the risk of continuing the thread drift, have you actually seen Super Size Me? I actually thought he was pretty fair. He made a point of saying repeatedly that it was not McDonald's that was bad for you. It was a steady diet of fast food and lack of exercise which he duplicated in his experiment.

He used McDonald's as an example because they are the face of fast food. And he chided them a little for their portions and the "super size" policy they had back then.

Sure, there was a sensationalist element to it. He had to sell tickets just like Mickey D's has gotta sell Big Macs. But the movie itself was reasonably fair, I thought.
