Originally Posted By llanatoye Sorry Lady Starlight, I had to retire last night with an ice pack on my head, the noise in the thread was getting worse than a stick on a picket fence ;>} But I do have ideas for the SFR Treehouse of Death Climb 2010. 1. oxygen tanks at each level 2. heart paddles at each level 3. APA's at the top (gives you something to climb for) 4. All fudge flavors at each level (we'll need the sugar to continue) 5. Wouldn't hurt to have Sees Candy (dark chocolate raspberry cream, my fav Shiva) thrown into the mix 6. And for the winner, a bag full of carp with all the pieces of wood, trees, little dishes, fences, grass, etc. etc. so that you can make your own model of Swiss Family Tree House model! So, whaddaya think?

LOL! will you be comming to the meet in July? If you are, I would love to host this meet with you. If you'd like. I have wanted to do a Treehouse Death climb for a while now.somewhere out there,theres a thread for it. LOL

Originally Posted By llanatoye I will be there Lady S., God willin' and the creek don't rise and all that. Let's do it, I'm not sure I'm host material, especially with a Death Climb in the title (remember, I'm old) but I'm certainly willing to give it a try. We'll need volunteers to man the paddle stations. We could give them an option, heart or tush paddle, their choice. I can tell already, with us hosting there is no telling what will happen, you have a wicked sense of humor and I just love to be a little devilish.

It's funny, I think I feel more strongly about the waterwheel than the people mover or anything else that is gone now. It just seems so silly to have removed the best part of the tree and to have kept the tree. : (

Originally Posted By crapshoot Interesting argument over wanting Swiss to return. Frankly, I don't find all that much difference in the overall "experience" between Swiss and Tarzan. Swiss was minus character placement, but its visual story depicted clever and inginuitive methods of adaptation and survival. Tarzan added characters and roughly tells a story of a jungle boy reaching manhood. None the less, I have never felt compelled to stop at the individual vignets for more than a few seconds before moving on in either attraction. For me it was more about enjoying the views from up there of Disneyland that compelled me to make the climb. One important change to the treehouse that has made all of the difference in its attendance numbers is having moved the entrance right to the middle of Popcorn Alley. And with the addition of the highly visible kinetic suspension bridge, the attendance numbers are way up versus the orginal entrance configuration.

Originally Posted By Yookeroo "Interesting argument over wanting Swiss to return. Frankly, I don't find all that much difference in the overall 'experience' between Swiss and Tarzan." Neither do I. An A-ticket that I rarely went/go on in either configuration. Nostalgia is powerful stuff. "One important change to the treehouse that has made all of the difference in its attendance numbers is having moved the entrance right to the middle of Popcorn Alley.

Makes for a bit better attraction, but I hate the bottleneck it created.
Originally Posted By llanatoye Lady Starlight is 100% correct, it's all about imagination. I was a young teenager when I first saw the movie and when I went home I wanted to make eating untensils out of sticks and ride a baby elephant or an ostrich. I wanted a fort in the hills above the treehouse so that I could keep an eye out for rescuers or the bad guys. It was great, hours and hours of trying to figure out how to make every day things out of what I could find in the back yard. And when I went to Disneyland and climbed up into the SFR treehouse, well, it was just sweet. It's funny but I've always wanted to live in a treehouse and never really made the connection until now. I have books on treehouses and will one day take a vacation and spend a week in a treehouse (they have beautiful ones in Oregon and Hawaii) so maybe I'm just bent that way but if you can't imagine living in a treehouse, maybe you just don't have a warped bone in your body LS, yep, I kind of like the tush paddle too, especially to start everyone off, but it worries me that there might be those that come back for more than one 'tush push'
