If so, I sure can't remember seeing anything covering those cloven hooves of yours! ORDDU: Rock 'n Rollercoaster never appealed to any of us, here in Morva. What we'd like to see are some attractions that don't give you motion sickness--such as a broomstick ride. ORWEN: Orddu? ORDDU: Yes, dear? ORWEN: I hate to tell you this, but lately I've gotten motion sickness from flying my broom, too. I've been seriously thinking of seeing what it's like to fly inside one of those air plane thingies from now on. ORGOCH: Traitor!!!

Then back on the boat and back to the hotel or over to Epcot.
