But the majority of the attraction will essentially be THE SAME. A few minor changes do not merit the end of the world.

And I also now have been convinced that, again as you said, the POTC movie was so popular because everyone who liked the movie, did so because they have ridden POTC. Those completely unrelated posts really did it for me. I have been TOTALLY convinced. Wow! Who would have thunk it???

Originally Posted By Roger55 <<only 25% of summer visitors to Disneyland are tourists>> That is referring to the percentage of the people who actually are at DL, NOT the percentage of people in the state, west coast, whatever. Let's use small round number to make it easier to understand. If there are 100 people at DL, 25 of those people are probably tourists. That means 75 are locals. That was the statment. How this has bearing on what percentage of Californians/west coasters have been to DL is beyond my comperhension. I would like to spend more time trying to make you see that you are confusing opinions with facts, applying opinions incorrectly, and not formulating a reasonable argument what so ever. But I also need to spend time teaching my cat how to program my Tivo. My bet is on my cat!

Why? Because the Pirates movie looked really fun and cool and action-packed, and the HM movie all I needed was to see the previews to know that I had no interest in going to see it because it looked like a big dud.
Originally Posted By mickey42397 <<I would like to spend more time trying to make you see that you are confusing opinions with facts, applying opinions incorrectly, and not formulating a reasonable argument what so ever.>> That is exactly what YOU are doing. I have backed up everything I said with numbers and percentages. I have stated nothing as a fact, only given my opinions, which is what everyone else does on these boards. You don't seem to like it when I give a reasonable explanation for my opinions, and you really don't seem to like the FACT that a couple of other people here stated the very same thing I was trying to argue. So since you have no good response, you say something ignorant and try to claim that it is irrelevant information. YOu make yourself look like a moron. <<applying opinions incorrectly>> Opinions cannot be applied incorrectly, they are OPINIONS, duh ! Go ahead and bet on your cat. He needs all the encouragement and support he can get. You are probably too ignorant to program your Tivo yourself, so if he wants to watch anything he better learn how.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<I have backed up everything I said with numbers and percentages.>> How you arrived at your numbers and percentages is flawed. Regardless, after re-reading the thread from the point where you two started debating, I thing ya'll have lost sight of what exactly it is to be won by being "right," which is a whole lotta nothing.

And as the debate ensued, more and more flaws in the argument came out. But I realize that it was futile to try to make mickey4239 see it that way, and the personal attacks headed my way. I should have just turned the other cheek. Thanks russ for making me realize this. I just wonder if you too will now be called out now for stating here that mickey4239's numbers are flawed?

It clearly isn't as easy a fit as it is to add characters from a movie titled "Pirates of teh Carribean" into a ride called "Pirates of the Carribean". Now if Stitch had stared in a movie called "It's a Small World".

And all the dialogue: "Capn'n Jack Sparrow, Cap'n Jack Sparrow, Capn'n Jack Sparrow, Cap'n Jack Sparrow, Capn'n Jack Sparrow, Cap'n Jack Sparrow--so says me, Davey Jones!" EEEEK! And that filmed playing on the mist--UGH.
Originally Posted By dshyates But you have to admit that thematically he fits. More so than adding, say, Stitch to Pirates.
