Small World will close for refurb Aug 1...

Why a ride that just got an overhaul is getting a refurb already is beyond me, especially when rides like BTMRR, JC, and Buzz desperately need them.

But I've got a pretty good feeling why.

Characters are coming.

Do we have to add synergy to everything? IASW is DISNEY enough as it is.

The problem is there are rides that are coming apart at the seams that NEED a refurb bad.

It's art, practically...why @#)(* with that?

Meh. If that's art I REALLY don't get art. I can see complaining that the original got changed, but WDW's doesn't have anything like Walt or history going for it, so whatever.

A world of tears.

There's so much that we share,
That it's time we're aware,
It's a small world after all.

Chorus:
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small, small world.

There is just one moon,
And one golden sun.
And a smile means,
Friendship to every one.
Though the mountains divide,
And the oceans are wide,
It's a small world after all.

Chorus:
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small, small world.

(Repeat ad nauseam until it's permanently etched into your neural synapses.)

And now it'll have movie themes added into it. Fan-freaking-tastic.

Negative. Makes for sense on JC than IASW. (ouch, low blow)

IASW cartoonish? C'mon.

It doesn't belong on either of them. they are both quintessentially DISNEY rides and they already come branded with that.

Agreed that IASW isn't cartoonish. It's a art style/form.


And besides...if it isn't broke, why fix it?

That's a matter of opinion.
