Originally Posted By Mr X ***My feeling is they should take out the Sinbad attraction*** That would totally suck. It's one of the best attractions in the park (opinions about old vs. new versions notwithstanding), not to mention one of the few that is great for the whole family. I would have serious doubts that an Aladdin ride (there are already TWO anyway) would be as cool and still totally family friendly (DisneySea does NOT need another ride with a restrictive height requirement!). Definitely a family favorite, and Little X adores it! (doesn't hurt that it's a walk-on...so I appreciate your point as far as that aspect but WE like it lol)
Originally Posted By Mr X ***granted it's not the best ride*** I'll grant you that, and raise you an "it's the worst ride". No thanks!

The Magic Carpets doesn't fit the bill here, although I am sure OLC were given the option of having the attraction. Two of the Magic Carpets rides were built, and from what I know the original intention was not for it to go in the Studios, so one park gave up on having this attraction, probarely realising it wasn't needed. *** My feeling is they should take out the Sinbad attraction and build an Aladdin dark ride using that robo-arm technology that USF will be using for the Harry Potter attraction. *** I disagree you need to have at least one dark ride at the park that doesn't require young Guest needing to be at a certain height to enjoy. Sinbad fits into this category.

Originally Posted By Mr X ***Besides I thought Ariels cavern is filled with kids rides.*** Kindly note I did not say "kids rides", I said "rides the whole family can enjoy". And I won't even go there with the "Ariels cavern" thing, since I know you're just trying to be cute. ***The lack of a height requirement doesn't help bring the crowds to Sinbad anyways. lol*** Yeah, yeah. Sindbad isn't popular. Har har.

Umm thats not true, Jumpin jelly fish had opened at DCA a few months eariler. And the Indy ride there is a carbon copy of disneylands with a new name and a few new props. Plus TOT exists everywhere

Anywho, DisneySea already has so much going for it and it looks OMFGamazing. Have you ever seen your ToT? It's stunning. TDS doesn't need to make me envy it even more.

Indeed. Maybe the OP has never been to the TDR. Usually when the OLC installs a new attraction, it is not just an off the shelf spinner, but rather a brand new E or D ticket. The only reason the MK has the Aladdin spinner is because the WDC is too cheap to build the Aladdin magic carpet dark ride that EVERYBODY assumed was going to be built after they saw the film in 1994.
