All seemed to like Hunny Hunt, but later in the day, coming off of Storm Rider, one said "That was MUCH better than Hunny Hunt!" with an expression on her face that suggested she was stating something plainly obvious and how could we suggest otherwise? Of course there's nothing wrong with that, but it did seem that she was not totally impressed with Hunny Hunt like I am and I know others are.

Originally Posted By Mr X p.s. I like StormRider too...but come ON! Better than Pooh!!?? I don't think so! Oh well, on with the survey.......

Originally Posted By barboy Hunny Hunt is far, far superior to WDW's and light years from DL's but it is still overrated. The attraction is very good but not in the same league as Disney's heavy- hitters such as TOT's, IJ's, Splash Mount's, JTTCE, Pirates(DL), Test Track, 20K Leagues or Grizzly River Run. I rank Hunny Hunt as equal to or slightly better than Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin.

I don't know that the technology behind his flying is so simple. What is your belief on his technology? Wires? I would like to hear how to wires would work through the plexi box.

Usually, they are just offering to buy a book to tell you how it is done. I STILL want to know how he made the Statue of Liberty disappear .

The most interesting coincidence is that Disney also patented the technology of Pooh vehicles. <<I would like to hear how to wires would work through the plexi box.>> If you have this video on hand, take a look on how Copperfield's assistants handle the cover of this box.

So that would be a poor way to keep a secret. <<< I STILL want to know how he made the Statue of Liberty disappear . >>> That one was rather clever, but simple at the same time.
