Sounds interesting. I think it's good that the Liberty Inn is getting some more American cuisine rather than traditional fast food.

Isn't fast food now considered American fare. :zipit:

This has always been a question that has puzzled me. We all know what Italian, Greek, Chinese etc food is but what truly is "American" food. It seems like all of what most people perceive as American food had it's origins somewhere else. Some have traced hamburgers all the way back to Genghis Khan , hot dogs were from Germany, even good old American Apple Pie gets its origins from Europe.

Well I suppose that since we all came from different countries, it makes sense that our food did too :shrug:

- The upcoming Big Thunder Mountain Railroad refurbishment will feature a re-do to the queue line. We're also replacing several parts in the falling boulder rooms along with replacing the pipes and spouts which release the waterfalls. A new chain lift system has been planned to go into Big Thunder, which will quiet the lift noise. However, the chain lifts are not planned to be replaced in this refurbishment which means BTMR will receive a second refurbishment sometime after the October downtime (my guess is early spring).

Have fun and salt your news / rumors for added flavor...

It's about time! I've hated having to get soaked just by riding Big Thunder.

Let's not forget the famous Philly Cheesesteak!!!! :sohappy: You know there are people out there that call it a Philly cheesesteak and use SPAM! Oh the horrors of it all!

Even if you point out to take what you report with a grain of salt, your updates are still so much fun to read. Thanks.

Is it really worth using EE technology? EE is cool because you get lifted like 200 feet in no time ... BTM is what? maybe a 40 foot lift? You'd be lifted in under a second :lol:

Plus though the chain has gotten too loud, I do enjoy the old crank lift system, it is an ol' fashioned railroad after all.

That's the thing... it's an old fashioned railroad, not an old fashioned roller coaster. They could pipe in chuggachuggachugga sounds with a silent lift hill. Instead we get waterwaterwaterwaterclankadaclankadaclankada"EWW!BATS!"splattersplatterwhoosh!


Oh, Beautybelle... maybe they SHOULD put spam in the new American restaurant. After all... it got our boys through WWII. A little to eat, a little to use as a weapon :lookaroun

At least with Roseanne they joked about it at the end of the first episode she was in.

Roseanne: I can't believe they switched Darrens and thought that we would be too stupid to notice?

New Beckie: I like the new Darren.

There was alos an Epsiode where a Gorwn Up DJ kept Saying "They Say She's the Same but She Isn't the Same....":ROFLOL:

Count me in for the group that's hoping for a quieter chain lift for the ol' Tumbleweed Express.

 

[DisneyExplorer]

I think corn is an American product.

 

[sknydave]

It is pretty cool just how fast and smooth the lift at EE is...

/random thought

 

[PlaneJane]

if they get a magnetic chain brake they need to add engine sounds in that area so it isn't silent we wouldn't want to break theme would we?

I personally liked my idea of making the eatery at the American Pavillion a buffet, with Body Wars moving over so that it's adjacent to the eatery, renaming it "Obesity: The Experience" and have a new video that has us travel the body while it's having a heart attack.
