    The first shooter I ever saw was a ghost shooter ride at Castle Park in Riverside CA. I thought Buzz was a classed up version of the idea, and MIB a gigantic reframing into a more immersive environment. But I had no clue if I was hitting anything or not.

    Unlike Buzz - but like EVERYTHING at Universal - it was vaguely scary. That's what I don't get about Universal--can't they just do something without the steroids? Those screeching cop cars at the beginning of E.T. don't sit well at all with the ridiculously sweet last half of the ride.
