I still get so annoyed with advanced AA terminology. Yeti was the same and look at him now. If you can’t keep it working it’s no point in the end!

Moved faster with better pacing. I got a little bored in WDW's version, hence why they had Laughin Place start halfway through the first area. I did like the openness of WDW's sets, but that is about all I would say is superior to DL's.
You got bored on a 12 minute ride with 4 drops and 68 audio animatronic figures? Maybe the whole theme park thing isn’t for you.

It just doesn't have the same pacing and storytelling as the version I grew up with. Disneyland's is zippy, has better music, and more to see in a tighter ride-time. WDW's version is hampered by the wide boats. It makes it feel like a cheap POTC rather than the unique ride that is DL's.

Do we think Louis’s missing trumpet could be a side plot in the attraction still?

Now that I think about what the missing ingredient is (musical critters), and what the rumour of the original story was (missing trumpet), I wonder if that was always a side plot intention, that became interpreted or spread around as the main plot?

Not to get too far in the weeds, but the Yeti and these new figures have next to nothing in common.

Further, most of the yeti's movement (both the rise and lunge) come from the articulated sled behind him... not the figure itself. I believe this motion was achieved hydraulically as well, not via electric motors like much of the new designs.

I understand they have next to nothing in common physically. But they share a lot in common with early hype.
The most advanced AAs you’ve ever scene and, to quote Rhode, “You’ve never scene something so big move so fast.” That quote was concerning the yeti. And for the giant majority, they’ve never even scene the Yeti move. Such a shame.

My point was the new AAs will only be impressive if they work. Our Yeti is not impressive in its current state.

Probably a statue of Louis, and then when you first see him he'll explain why he was standing so still a minute ago when you saw him in the garden.

I think on paper WDW’s is superior. It’s longer, more polished, better sets, better story, everything is physically larger, etc. However, I think DL has some unique charm that was never replicated because it was the prototype that was a little rougher around the edges. That’s why the DL version has more of a cult following and people prefer it just out of personal taste. I dare say that people liked it BECAUSE it wasn’t as conventionally ‘good’ as WDW

That sums up lots of WDW vs. DL. Disneyland is almost always more charming than WDW.

I grew up riding the WDW splash and when everything was working - I think I prefer it. But towards the end DL was in such better shape my last memories definitely make it a better attraction in my mind.
