However, again, when it comes to the predictable responses to the pros and cons of DCA, there remains the usual suspects: the people here who've always been rather rather easygoing about DCA's shortcomings, and the ones who haven't.

It's as if you can't get beyond that. Nor have I seen you post on any other topics, which gives me a one-dimentional picture of you as a bitter old kook. Do I love DCA? No, But I don't hate it either. It has both merits and faults. You can't change the past, so you can only hope for the future. This thread was about the new Monsters attraction, which by most accounts, has been a positive thing. I for one am hoping for even more positive changes.

Trust us, it's like being trapped in Small World with no way to escape. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP SINGING THAT SONG!!!!! I'LL TALK! I'LL TALK! lol. But he has to, because 5 years later, people actually still dare to disagree with him. And no contrary view must be allowed to pass un-responded-to. Even if the response is the same 7 phrases again and again and again. Raspberry beret! The kind you find in a second-hand store!!

I wish I had the time to get to the parks soon to ride it!

I have ridden M.I. about 6 times now and love it! It's a very cute and entertaining attraction. Lot's of things to look at making it worthy of many repeat visits.
