Present it to the Cali crowd as if it's brand spanking new and hope no one notices. How on earth did they expect no one to notice? the very first review I read noticed it - jeebus.

There are models of them in the cases in the lobby, but nobody complains about them. The models of the statues are something that directly relates to the purpose of the attraction, so I see them as a great fit. I didn't get a good feeling for the use of the Golden Dream song from the Youtube video, but its placement after Battle Hymn is a little strange. I'll have to wait to see it in person before I make a final decision about it. It's a great song, and I would love to get it somewhere in California, but I'm not sure if the use is right within the show.
