Regardless of the terminology, one thing I always felt that Disney did better than anything else was cover every detail (as much as realistically possible) to immerse you in the "theme" of that particular attraction. That's what sets them apart from places such as Six Flags or even Universal to a point (Universal seems to just sorta dabble in it enough to make the walls look pretty and throw in some random props). While I thought the poacher story was a little cheesy, it did set it apart from other places (such as zoos, or even other drive through Wildlife Parks - while not as common now - that used to be around). Sometimes we have to remember that, as adults, our imaginations can be "dulled" a bit because we "know" what the real deal is, but for a child, many times, they ARE on that adventure and they ARE helping Wilson catch poachers. I know, growing up and going to Disney as a child, that's what did it for me. You really could EASILY believe you were going into Space, or sailing with Pirates, rather than just standing in line for the next coaster. Saying that, I believe Disney should always try and "plus" things like they do, but not just water them down for the sake of budget or ease of construction. That's what got me down a bit when I saw more of that directly when working there. Anyway, there's my two cents, I'll pick up my soapbox and go home now ;-P
