They could re-release the original, but, it would be pretty confusing to many people, since there is no one riding in a log and going over a water fall and other then the characters, had nothing whatsoever to do with the manner of presentation in the ride. The ride has but one of the stories that comes up in the original movie, but, it is a story with no solid moral where as the original had a reason for the story to exist. Unless you have seen the original movie, you aren't going to understand what I'm talking about, but, I guess you will have to just take my word for it.
I haven't seen the original, I would love for them to re-release it, but I know how they want to be politically correct. I could be mistaken, but didn't the NAACP (or another group similar) try to have boycotts of the movie when it came out but then the president of the group saw the movie and actually enjoyed it?
