Originally Posted By SoThisIsLove Yes, by golly, we do. One dressed as Captain Jack, I think. And, we need a new kid's storybook by Strongbad....I just love his other one. Nice to meet you, monorailblue. My family would obviously adore you!

Originally Posted By boydisney IASW is a classic that can't be removed. Children love it and parents love seeing their children marvel at all the colors, songs, and movement.

The go coaster is a long wait, almost always in the sun, but great for children who can't go on any other coaster rides! My 3 year old loved it and it got her ready for the Matterhorn! Just because a classic seems dated or boring does not mean it should be plucked out and replaced. Disneyland is nostalgia. You cant walk through Sleeping Beauty's Castle anymore, how boring, should we replace that too?
