Why does every ride at Disney have to have cheesy jokes in it? Why can't we have rides that are serious again like we did in the 70s and 80s?

I agree that some humor is fine but the way the company has gone about humor in the past 10 years seems to be "hey lets make fun of ourselves". That's fine for jungle cruise but when you start sticking dumb humor into everything (ellen dropping her make up kit and fighting a plesiosaur in Epcot Center, "I think I oiled myself" in stitch, cheesy preshow vids, etc.) it just becomes so lame after awhile. We need rides that once again have serious narration, rides with cheerful narration,etc. A diverse collection of attraction styles is what I used to like.

BS I was laughing hysterically at Lasseter's D23 presentation. That guy knows humor.

I just don't like the cheesy "lets make fun of ourselves" humor that Disney started to do in the 90s and still continues to this day and I also don't like gross out Nickelodean/Stitch style humor either.

Disney needs to relearn what humor is. There animated movies used to have alot of funny content but somewhere they just lost it. Situational humor is the way to go.

Because the announcements on TTA were changed all of TLand is wrecked. You're even funnier than Conundrum.:lol:

Say hello to Stitch, MILF, the terrible speedway, the ugly stage formerly used for Stitch's Catastrophic Celebration, and Space Mountain/Buzz (both of which are worse than all their clones, IMO).

By messing up the announcements on TTA, Tomorrowland has nothing to brag about (besides CoP, which is obviously dated). If I had to think of one positive thing, I guess Astro Orbiter looks pretty cool.

I may be the only one...but does anyone else think it's funny that many weeks after I posted a refurb Peoplemover video featuring the song "Nation on Wheels (The Peoplemover Song)" and that VERY song finds it's way onto the new easy to program sound system.

From what I heard, I don't like it... But, I'll be there next week to hear it in person... I'll make a final judgement then.

I wouldn't call it a narration with cheesy jokes. It just had funny, clever little lines that enforced the tomorrowland theme.

Like "Attention all aliens from planet M31, please keep all forward facing tentacles away from oncomming vehicles."

Not hilarious, just a funny little mention that made you feel like you were in a world where humans and aliens coexist.

Right. It was great theming and was full of creativity. Now it's just sad.

No. Because of SSC, SGE, and MILF Tl is ruined. The announcements were just an added bonus.

LOL

The announcements were the straw that broke the camel's back? Compared to other TLands ours look pretty strong. With a new refurb of our major TLand attraction, I'm thinking we're looking pretty solid. Contrary to popular belief, a lot of people like MILF and Buzz.

Eh...our Tland is weak. It looks better than the others, but attractions wise it's weak.

Buzz is fine. MILF is awful, and show's people have no taste.
At least the other parks don't have SGE.

But is it "ruined". Way too overboard IMO. I think it's looking better than ever. I respect your opinion, but I just want to defend the ruin comment. I'm being optimistic :D

No, it's not ruined by any stretch of the imagination. But it needs a lot of help, IMO. Stitch is a ghost town, and the back of the land near CoP and the new stage needs some kinetic energy.
