    I just love how there are different levels of 'nerd-dom' on a Disney nerd site.

    You collect Disney pins? You're a Disney nerd.

    You collect all Disney pins and pay $500.00 for one on Ebay? You've gone too far and are a 'pin trading geekazoid'

    Whatever. We're all Disney nerds here discussing nerdy Disney stuff.

    It's odd that you seem to be able to create your own Caste system of what's okay and what's 'over the top' that might require someone to 'get a life.'

    No. I don't make those decisions. TDLFAN makes the important decisions. You'll have to talk to him.

It would have really long seating, similar to what they use for Soarin', and could load over a really wide moving walkway to keep the crowd moving. I'm not sure what the concept behind the ride would be (it could be anything, and could be put in any park), but it would fly over sets (possily including videos, like El Rio Del Tiempo) and would have additional movements due to the technology behind it. It could be like a suspended Indiana Jones of sorts. The thought just came to me, so I really don't know what it would be like, but what do you guys think?

    That's cuz you don't give the slightest clue as to whether you're kidding or not, being sardonic or not, gently tweaking or not. You made a statement, I asked a question, and somehow I get slammed. I just don't know why I even try . . .

    Hey, welcome to this thread today.

    RoadTrip calls someone out for being 'too into it' -- and when I question the comment, I get blasted for being testy.

    Far out.

    That was one of the early concepts for Soarin; to "fly" riders over sets or at least scenes. They could not think of an effective way to pull it off until Imagineer Mark Sumner came up with his erector set model of the current Soarin' ride mechanism.

    I was more than ready to let this go after the first post. It seems you just can't let go of it. What IS your freaking problem??

    Take a Xanax.
