    That was a 'first' for me to see. I had no idea, beforehand.

I'm looking forward to getting to check it out in person again next summer!

    You need to get out of WDW more often girl.

    It's no secret that Stitch is very popular in Japan, but I think OLC and WDC need to share the shame you so eloquently posted on. TDL had a nice and unique version of the Tiki show before Stitch's version destroyed it and the lack of crowds in that attraction speak volumes. Yet having one of the best operated DL parks and the very best second gate park more than make up for a little stumble like the Stitch tiki bird show.

    It sure does in those photos. In person, I don't think it looks nearly as good. TL is one of the poorer parts of TDR in my opinion. It looks like Futureworld in Epcot on a good day - which is great "futuristic" architecture if you like the 1970's concrete community college style. Despite all of the things that TDR does well, there are certain aspects of the park (such as TL) that have an industrial, "WDW" feel to them that just doesn't seem to happen at DL.

    The photographer did a great job, it's almost (but not quite) deceptive the way he/she picked the shot just right, either focused on very specific "building only" shots that highlighted only the cool stuff, or else long shots from actually somewhere in the Hub so that the far superior landscaping of the TL borders showed up as if it were within the land itself (within TL things are, unfortunately, quite sparse and barren to be honest about it).

    All that aside, I could forgive quite a lot if they would just add some kinetic energy to the place. Now that Harry Potter is running their train between two parks, can someone please revisit my Peoplemover TL/Port Discovery Lmt. Express idea? And then send me my royalty check? :D

    Really Hank? You are kidding, right?

    But I agree with Tom on his blog.. yes, SpectroMagic needed to be quietly retired years ago.. Heck, should have been retired when TDL's Fantillusion premiered. Spectro was that bad.
