This time, from within. Like I really want to look up and see this thing when I'm supposed to be isolated in the redwoods. But then, I can see all the crap outside Katella when I'm supposed to be isolated in the redwoods, too, so I guess it's just par for the course. Won't they ever learn from their past mistakes with this joint?
Originally Posted By WorldDisney Yeah, I understand what you mean Archtmig. To be honest, depending on WHAT the icon is, it doesn't bother me so much. When I walk through the Animal Kingdom and see the Tree of Life everywhere or see the Volcano all through Tokyo DisneySea, for some reason, I'm fine with it. Maybe because those icons are such a big signature of what those parks are about (although when I walk through American Adventure and see the volcano across the way, it takes me out of New York just a tad ). But I can't really comment on DCA until I walk through the park itself when TOT is truly in your face to know my own personal thoughts.
Originally Posted By Darkbeer Well, Knott's also had the official release of it's new ride on December 1st, so maybe they were trying to deflect the news. In Tuesday's Orange County Register, the Disney/Gold issue was on page one of the Business section (It was on the top of the front page on Monday). Silver Bullet got good coverage on page 3 of the business section (including a graphic of the track layout). No report on the ToT annnouncement.....
