It would be a bad way to word things, but knowing the more or less clueless nature of some of Disney's marketing folks, it's entirely possible.

"My survey verifies my assertion that 90% of guests want Indy refurbed!"> More likely: "My survey verifies my assertion that 90% of guests won't care if Chip n Dale's Treehouse is removed"
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I just took the same survey.

Innoventions, one I NEVER "experience" Small World, one I ALWAYS "experience" Animation, one I don't remember whether I put AlWAYS or MOST OF THE TIME or whatever the option was. MAN that survey was long! Not the usual one where you just click the bubbles, they wanted details which were asked in every which way. By the end I was just writing "no" and moving on. I think next time I'm approached my answer will be "no."
Originally Posted By sjdimon I **LOVE** the IJA - especially for the queue (to me, it's almost better than the actual "ride" part of the attraction).

It sure does sound like they are either gunning for AO/GGC or to get some $$ for enhancements to the IJA (which would be fantastic). I realize that there are gazillions of "different" possible experiences on IJA, but in truth, there are really only a few major variants that make any real difference - the other variations are pretty subtle overall.

Originally Posted By CDF2 Wondering if there has ever been any consideration for upgrading or improving Indy at DL?

IMO, would it not be a bit better to hae a snake room with lots of animated snakes threatening from all around as opposed to a big fake one? OK - understand this is kind of like looking for additional flaws in the Mona Lisa but isn't that what chat groups are for?

Originally Posted By berol Usually, their questions limit what you can express and/or you can't give your actual opinion on what they want to know because they don't tell you what they want to know. The only to-the-point survey I've taken was for a disneyland.com revamp years ago.
Originally Posted By Britain I suspect Indy is there as a sort of control in the experiment. They KNOW Indy is popular. Look at the lines. They want to know of the people who like Indy, are they also concerned about AA or GGC.
Originally Posted By Bellella No. Indy will never go away. I'm a little more worried about the Jungle Cruise. Although I love it dearly and go on it every time, I'm concerned about drops in popularity. Isn't it true that the giant AA animals are a pain to take care of? May they keep this classic ride just as it is forever!
Originally Posted By crapshoot <<DH said yes twice as did I after that we politely said we'd already been asked OR just didn't make eye contact >> We agreed to the online survey. It came about a week later and I dutifully filled it out and sent it back. Then I began to recieve very snarky emails saying that I had agreed to take the online survey, but as of yet, had failed to do so. I recieved about three of those. Never again. Now when asked, I look at them and say; "Absolutely Not!"
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 ^^agree! We each received 2 different surveys. One was the "what do you always/sometimes/never" ride, or some wording like that. The other was about the AP Parade night. I'm a sucker for saying yes, feeling sorry for the CM's. But after filling out sooo many of them, I'll politely say no.
