But, I have to admit, IF they really do like the park and yes, haven't been to others to compare, then yeah, I guess the park has done its job . Still sucks though .

Look, if this stuff doesn't have a queue And/OR at least some kind of story componet to me, then its not an attraction in my book. Its sad that this ultra cheap park have to stoop sooo low to build these tiny attractions and basically 'trick' people to think they are more than what they are. >>> I'll tell you how I was tricked. I made it a point to go to every single attraction on my first day. I don't have it in front of me, but the guide map said something like "Walk through Sleeping Beauty's enchanted castle." I thought "wow, that's neat - being able to go inside the castle." But I had trouble finding the entrance. I eventually figured out that by "walk through the castle" they meant just walking over the drawbridge and through the opening to get into Fantasyland. I definately felt tricked. As for Snow White's grotto, I did think that was worthy of mention, as they always seemed to have characters there for picture-taking, and often more than one.

Also, according to Tales, the electric power to the cars will be from on-board batteries rapid-charged in the station (like is done with Hunny Hunt). This opens the intriguing possibility of not having a rail that the car straddles but some other mechanism for safety, perhaps giving a much more realistic sensation of driving a car. I will be interested to see how it turns out. I'm expecting a bit more than a C ticket.

Yeah, it did amaze how big some Americans are after living in Asia for 6 years. Maybe that's what Disney should build, a loooong queue where you just walk and walk and walk for an hour, snack free .
