I hope TDL follows DL's lead and does SOMETHING with thier castle walkthrough. What a shame that the Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour was closed down. If people here in the states liked the SB walkthrough, you all would have been FLOORED by the Mystery Tour. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz33xcYf4pg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...3xcYf4pg</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGTLB-ZWrFs&feature=related" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...=related</a>

In fact, it seems to be universally supported. Just as a point of reference for some other recently announced, more controversial alterations ...

When they say, "When the attraction is unveiled later this year, the “show†will differ from the dioramas of the 1980s and ‘90s, returning to the unique style of the original 1957 show and motion picture", what do they mean exactly?
