But how many states have everything that California has. I don't even like California but I know it's big enough and has varied enough terrain to have all that. Which state on the East Coast has desert-snow capped mountains-ocean-waterfalls-etc-etc
I doesn't freaking matter how many states have as much. That is not the point at all. It is that those same things can be found in different states, even if it is only one thing. I am not putting down California, like you folks seem to be wanting to put down the rest of the country. I am merely trying to explain why it isn't necessary to have it be California in both places. It was never meant to be outside of California when it was created and it's focus on California makes that obvious. California is a very nice place, I have been there a few times. However, I have been to a lot of other states that have wonderful scenic areas, and a person unfamiliar with California would not know without being told that the entire thing was filmed in California. (Is there a bet on for how many times I am going to say California?) There are deserts in Arizona and New Mexico, majestic mountains and skiing in Colorado and Vermont, Navel Stations in Virginia, Orange Groves in Florida along with the Florida Keys, Golf courses, farm land, Hot Air Balloon gatherings, among other things in just about every state in the union.
My point was... what is the logic of everyone being forced to see only California especially when the rest of the country and the world for that matter, probably do not have everything in one place so it is nice to have a general country wide or world wide view instead of a myopic presentation of just one place. Even if in Florida they had ended it in MK or Epcot initially so it presented a base point would have been better. I think the original worked in Epcot and was really loved by everyone, even myself, but, is it to our benefit to see the same thing over and over again? New is exciting, it has fine transitions and the bending is no worse then it was on the original. Might not even been more, just with more straight lined objects . If you look at the peripherals of the trees in the original it looks like they are currently in a hurricane, we just didn't notice because the focus was centered on other things. No one noticed the drastic bend in the Golden Gate bridge because we were focusing straight forward and the bridge was basically to the left side of us.
Best part is it still lives on You Tube. Nothing wrong with liking one over the other, but, it would be nice if we don't make it sound like someone is kidnapping their grandmother. Like or dislike it just because you like or dislike it. It really is the same experience, just over a different place.
