I remember as a kid the Twain, Columbia, Rafts, CAnoes, and Keelboats were all closed for construction of Fantasmic. it was cool to see all the work.

The fact that the room is loud doesn't help, either. It's nto spooky, it just looks terrible. Boogers and whatnot on the walls is not scary, it's gross. They need to take care of teh manse or the manse won't take care of them!

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 I stand corrected, but not totally convinced. Maybe I just expected it to still be worn smooth, and didn't notice in my excitement to be back there. Guess I should go back and recheck!
