Originally Posted By berol I also agree mostly with trekkeruss due to venue choice. Made it seem more like a publicity stunt, tho did he get much? I've only seen it talked about by us net yahoos which wouldn't do much for him.

Originally Posted By moondevil Well, so much for discussion. I guess we should just talk about our favorite churro carts.
Originally Posted By knoxvelour My favorite churro cart is the one between Haunted Mansion and the Rivers of America. my personal politics are just that...personal. I'm not particularly comfortable discussing it with those I don't know. The merits of an artist's work, however, that's a different story
Originally Posted By dsnykid I have to agree with you Knoxvelour..... the churro cart between HM and ROA is fantastic the only one I buy my churros from actually
Originally Posted By dsnykid Seriously though, free speech is free speech, but I would have to agree there seems to be little artistic merit to this and more a publicity stunt. Stuff happens, rides get closed, it'a a day at disneyland and unless you go to Disneyland only to ride BTMRR, then I can't really see how missing one ride on one day can wreck your whole trip, but that's only my opinion.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I don't mean to hijack the thread, but come to think of it, the vast majority of my churros also come from the cart by HM and ROA. We should take a poll!
