But still sad that there's so much importance on this one ride (and that Disney, realizing this, is attempting to deflate expectations for it). Come May when previews start I wouldn't be surprised if people say it's a fun ride ("but goes by too quickly") and that it's a fun ride ("but doesn't make DHS a full-day park") and of course it's a fun ride ("but DHS needs a couple of top of the line E-tickets to make it feel like it isn't the malnourished park that it currently is"). And you'll pardon me if WDI's track record over the past ten years makes me skeptical about anything they do these days.
Originally Posted By MPierce I see your point leobloom. However I don't think one more E-ticket will make a full day park out of DHS either. Maybe three or four more C, and D-tickets combined with the improved Star Tours, and the rumored Cars attraction replacing Back-Lot Tour. I assumed the Cars attaction will be a strong E-ticket. Until then I'll be happy with any well done addition. I agree that WDI could have done much better in certain areas, but everything hasn't been a disaster either. I'm looking forward to the review we will be getting from Doobie shortly. I personally think TSM will be a big hit, even if I don't enjoy it. My only concern is the hurl factor that seemed to be present in early testing. I think it's just human nature to want more, and better things. At least I'm that way, that's what my lovely wife saids about me anyway.

That is if the rumors were actually a fact.

I hope the good people will continue to support this site and will not give sarcastic comments the power to control our minds!(trying for a Disney quote)

Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Thanks for clarifying. i never meant to imply otherwise. I just like to know the background. Your opinions are always interesting.

Truthfully it takes a lot of bravery to put thoughts into print and that is what I respect.Does that make sense?
Originally Posted By leobloom Don't get me wrong---I still like going to WDW, mainly for nostalgic reasons. But it's true I don't go as often as I used to go. I was last there in December to see the new and improved SSE. And maybe I'll go this summer to see TSM, but considering it will be hot as blazes and it's the only new thing at the parks, I'll probably just wait. That's all I was saying.

The reason I have just read topics a lot more than posting in them is because everything becomes an argument for no reason. thanks again doobie, Jon
