Really? I've done that with my daughter and stroller (granted, we took her out of the stroller). We did the "Dumbo Dash." She loved it! (both the ride and the sprint, which she thought was hilarious.) Okay, it wasn't a sprint (I wouldn't put my daughter in danger), but it was a jog, not a walk. I did see one 40-something woman who was huffing it pretty quickly do a faceplant. Thankfully it was not while holding a kid, and she was okay, just very embarassed as all the strollers went rushing around her...Originally posted by Raidermatt
But there's no way I'm trying to start sprinting around parks now with the wife, son and stroller.
Now, now. Although Eisner has made a lot of bad decisions recently (most involving ABC, it would seem), one could make the argument that if it weren't for him, Disney would have been broken apart by corporate raiders in the early '80s, and Disneyworld would be owned by Six Flags, the old films would be owned by AOL/Time Warner, and there'd have been no animation renaissance in the '90s.originally posted by pheneix

My only point was that the fact that some people sprint to certain attractions does not necessarily mean they are all more valuable attractions than the ones where folks are not sprinting. Like Pirates, HM, and SE.Really? I've done that with my daughter and stroller (granted, we took her out of the stroller). We did the "Dumbo Dash." She loved it!

Maybe we should just chalk both of these up to hyperbole.Now, now.

Agreed. Nonetheless, what's your definition of "valuable?"Originally posted by Raidermatt

(regarding Eisner)

...But alas, instead they blow flying carpets on a pretty standard amusement park ride that can be found darned near everywhere, granted without the Disney decor.
Then again, I guess it's Disney's own fault for setting the bar so high. We know they can do ToT, PotC, SE, BTM, SM, Indiana Jones Adventure, and even add to standard Disney dark rides like they did with Pooh and Buzz at MK.

I hope Disney realizes how much is riding on this change. It's more than just a new ride. It will send a message about Disney's course and philosophy for the future.
It better be good.
