Maybe there will be some way to pay homage to 60's beach culture, but put it somewhere else, not on the pier.

They were roaring in the 20s, depressed in the 30s, fighting in the 40s, moving to the suburbs in the 50s, tripping in the sixties, discoing in the 70s, greedy in the 80s, and watching our jobs start to go overseas in the 90s.

I mean, I'm hoping they'll make an exception for Hong Kong since they need all the rides they can get! " that is always a possibility since Hong Kong Disneyland does not compete with Anaheim in anyway.

The walkway from the carousel to the sunwheel should also be bloced off soon and the midway games and stores should also get walls very soon. I am sure the rains will play part in the timeline.
Originally Posted By jonvn I just want to say that even though bean and I argue like crazy, I sincerly appreciate his comments and posts. When you're passionate about something, you just sort of get into arguments about stuff and I just want bean to know I really think what he has to say is great. And I know I piss everyone off all the time, so thanks.

Originally Posted By gadzuux Yeah - they had a great opportunity to do just that in the recently released 'disneyland treasures' DVD, and they didn't do it. I'd love to see footage of past parades like party gras and hercules, or old attractions such as ATIS. For an organization that archives its past so throroughly, they sure are tight about releasing it.

Originally Posted By jonvn Party Gras was really the best one they did. It was just amazing. The balloons, the colors, it also did the confetti thing so well, they did it tons afterwards. Kind of overdid it, but it was really a fantastic show. Hot hot hot.

ORWEN: I think everybody has a lot of good things to add to the cauldron--most of the time. ORGOCH: Yeah an' ya can never add too many beans ta the brew!!

Originally Posted By jonvn Thanks, witches, very nice of you to say. Golden Dreams would have been a very good pre-show type of thing for something else that was big and elaborate. It would be great as that, actually. It doesn't stand on its own at all. And is both sappy and heavy handed.
