wow... people really spent all morning calling each other idiots over their opinions on attractions in a theme park based around a cartoon mouse... we do realize at the end of the day thats all it is, right? we love it to death of course, but really is it worth getting angry over? this was all started over holes in a mural. im gonna go ahead and say this: they could bulldoze cinderella's castle and put in a giant paper clip and you know what? id get over it. itd be annoying, id be sad, but after awhile i would just get over it. this forum is a place where fans can discuss what they love about the place and we all have the right to do that. there are very very few people at disney who know if something is indeed fact. i dont care who you are, unless its been ok'd by Iger himself, or publicly announced, anything anyone says here is just speculation, opinion, or MOST LIKELY fact based on inside knowledge they have gained. there are several people on this forum who WORK for disney or have been significant parts of developing parts of wdw but even they would say that what they know, may not always be absolutely true. fact is fact, opinion is opinion. an opinion is how you personally think the refurb of the land has turned out. a fact is observing how much more people have been going to the land since soarin was put it. the truth is, it has had a lot more people coming to it, and at the end of the day that means success. i like waht they did to the land. IMO it was boring before. i dont care about plants or how im supposed to eat or conservation (DONT GET ME WRONG!!! ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE VERY IMPORTANT!!!!) but i got all of that from my 5th grade science class. i want to be entertained. do i need a story to do that? no. when you were a kid and went on a plane ride for the first time, did that have a story? no. was it exciting? for me it was (for those who dont like flying, probably not). and who cares where they put the monsters inc ride? they could put it in the middle of kilamanjaro safari and id still go see it. am i gonna give them a hard time abotu where they put it? no! they are disney, not our personal savior. look at the hard time they have pleasing their die-hard fans just by looking at this board how they heck do you expect them to please everyone? but people are still gonna get annoyed about what others say on this board. im an engineering major and take a lot of math and science, and i know this guy whos a psych major and every now and then he likes to lecture me about physics and what he knows and a lot of time its wrong and that really bothers me. no one likes to hear someone tell them something they personally know to be wrong as fact. that doesnt mean that anyone is an "idiot". it just really bothers me that when i take a break from my boring work to discuss something i really enjoy to find "radical extremeist" disney fans arguing about something so crazy. did any of you guys realize that you were all just basically saying the same thing? lets recap:
-everyone has a right to say waht they want and should expect people to respond however they would like as well
-change is good
-respect for original purpose of parks should be maintained
im sure theres more but i dont have the attention span to go back through that mess. so say waht ud like, you can completely disregard everything ive said because after all, who the heck am i to say this? no one. just a disney fan. just like you.
