Pan is how old? And I MO pan needs a redo the most out of MK minus maybe space.
I am aware of that, I'm just trying to say that those things that people are complaining about are normal for any dark ride and have been since the first one existed. It makes me go back to the thought that when all of us first started going to a Disney park, be it DL or WDW, we were so enthralled by what we saw that we didn't notice the other parts that could easily have ruined our fantasy. We just didn't see them. Now we have become bored with the stuff we start to notice every little thing and try to relate it present times or present policy's or, worse yet, we somehow believe enough in "the magic" that we impose a denial of reality concerning the realities of the actual world we live in, which has to account for gravity and needing to support a structure by using walls, etc. Someone looks at a concept art, like the one for LM and don't see all those outside forces because they aren't needed in an animation, yet are upset if the show itself has to deal with that.
Think about all the things that people have complained about with LM alone. For example, Ariels hair looked unreal and didn't react like underwater hair should move. Well, duh, it isn't under water actually, so for all those complaining did they have any idea how to make it look like that when the physical surroundings cannot be duplicated without the actual elements, in this case water? I don't think that LM is the best I have ever seen, but, considering the topic and the diversity of environments that are depicted they did a pretty good job. To not consider the queue itself as a part of the overall experience is just to tight a focus on one part of a multi-faceted attraction. And the parts that they did initially screw up on, they fixed.
If you have read any of my other posts you will realize that I am not pixie dusted or a blind follower of the virtues of the Disney Company in how it relates to how the company is run. Here's what I see, a company that for a long time didn't do anything to plus an attraction, did, finally, create an entire undersea world in a dry as a bone show and ride and it isn't enough for people. It must be something that no Disney show had ever had and that is reality so precise that you weren't forced to think it is real. For years they relied on the people using their own imagination to fill in the blanks. The more that we are unable to see anything unless it is totally done for us the more we complain, the more we complain about something that actually did have a lot of expense and detail attached to, the less they are given the incentive to really get all concerned about that detail. It's never enough.
