Uuuummmmmmm......that's all it was EVER going to be anyway. It was always going to be the same damned ride with a 30's Mickey face on it. There is SO much good stuff going into DCA(TSMM, TLM, CL)but also so much of it was also just redressed 2001 era same old same old crap.

Has the park become that insignificant? Bad concepts should not excused by comparing them to something worse.

And the only ride 3 out of 4 of my kids dislike is Mulholland Madness - they prefer the one and Great America in Santa Clara. I have always thought and agreed on other threads that Mulholland could be a great ride if it was enclosed and made into a dark ride. With that I am open to changes and will miss some of the things they are removing (ie the trains and golden dreams) but I am hoping the changes will be done well enough I will soon miss them less.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Agreed, but then again, it didn't stop them from having a shoot em up in Tomorrowland and PP, or Space Mountain with a launch, 3 loops and a synchronized soundtrack in Discoveryland and RNR COaster in WDSP. What I meant by dark ride is using trees, road signs, hitchhiker AA etc. Kind of like test track or like a Mr Toad kind of thing.

I thought all of that map garbage was to keep the noise down? Why remove it? I just want the whole ride melted down and put to a better use. I don't understand why they are keeping this other than ride count.

I believe that was mentioned on another thread a while ago. I would say 101 dalmations although any chase ride would be good.
