I hope it was a lesson to Disney on the dynamics of what makes a show good. It isn't just about technology.

Originally Posted By ShivaThDestroyer jdub, I'm a little confused. You sound perfectly normal to me and, from following another thread, I believe the PC word is passionate, not nuts. Isn't it amazing that these 2 relatively simple, by todays standards, attractions continue to be popular and have the same magic now as when they first opened. I agree with Elder, "It isn't just about technology."

Saying that it isn't all about technology is right on. Back in its day it was innovative. Today, maybe not so much. But who cares. It's a Walt Disney original, and still a lot of fun...with great music and effects. Makes you feel like you're in the islands.
