Norshow wasnt very exicted about the 3 headed troll in the ride either. They were adamant about the menu at the restaruant being authentic (not a bad thing) but were surprised at how many Americans did not appreciate the food.

I'm not a troll fan, but why wouldn't they want to have a three headed troll in the ride? It shows their mystical history, and we needed a way to go back in time in the ride. The use of magic was a great idea. Also, I like the way you go through the scenes backwards...a Disney first, I believe, not counting the haunted mansion.

I like the movie -- and for 5 or 7 minutes I am willing to sit and relax -- also Iusually am there in summer so it is cool there...
