You seem to be all about technology meaning it's automatically better, so that should please you. Also one of the many definitions of read can be judge. You just chose the wrong one...again. "Your source is BLOGS!! HAHAHAHAHAHA! 'nuff said." Once again, I would thouroughly appreciate it if you read the entire post, or even the part that you copied and pasted yourself, before you go making false accusations again. I said that the number had been reported in newspapers (like the LA Times and OC Register), and has stuck around in our mind because of blogs. They didn't create any of their own information to get their jollies out of watching us squirm the way you seem to.

I plan on enjoying this new ride for the simple yet pleasant experience it's being portrayed as. The outside of the structure seems to blend very well with the theme of Paridise Pier. Will the actual ride-through be all I hope it to be? Who knows? Until I find out I'm going to remain optimistic rather than negative from the get-go.

If Disney was acting like this was the biggest thing since Indy, I'd be insulted. But they're not. They're saying this is the first appetizer in the grand, brand new feast of DCA's makeover. Carsland is getting all the Indy-ish hype.

Wow! -I said that the number had been reported in newspapers (like the LA Times and OC Register), and has stuck around in our mind because of blogs. Really? Instead of blowing numbers like these out your butt then, please, show me a LINK, direct from OC REGISTER or LA TIMES, showing me the price you quoted in your earlier post. Folks, she wont find it. $1000 bet she wont find it! Proving, once again, persons like Ferret love to pull imaginary numbers out of thin air! -Disney hasn't led us to believe we WOULD experience such excitement. Sure they have. Have you read the press release? Disney is anchoring this new attraction around major marketing campaigns. And now we're getting a C Ticket. Sad.

While riding along a colorful, midway-themed route, they will shoot at animated targets using their own “toy cannons,†scoring points in a series of energetic, fun gaming sequences featuring Woody, Bo Peep and the rest of the gang from Toy Story.~~~ The above is a copy and paste from an Anaheim Resort Press Release. Just because this is heavily marketed (as all new attractions usually are - C ticket or otherwise) does not make this future experience comparable to Expedition Everest, Indy or Star Tours. How is this midway-themed ride-through going to be as body-jolting as the other three? I'm pretty sure the overall experience cannot be compared. I am confident that TSM will be compared to Buzz... simply fun little additions to their themed areas.

Originally Posted By dshyates They market the crap out of "new" anything. But Princesspaulina, I have to agree that TSM sounds like a dud. To me its sort of like they wanted to compete with Spidey, but try to kick it up a notch by making it interactive. So they took the high tech ride-thru shooting gallery (Buzz) and the ride-thru 3-d special fx tour de force (Spidey) thrown into a blender with a scoop of family friendly classic Disney/PIXER® characters, and voila, New Disney attraction franchise. I think the building looks nice, but the ride as a whole just really doesn't interest me. I'm sure it will be a fun thing to do while at DCA, but a lot of bluster for a plussed buzz.

Second, I'd like my $1000, right now: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yv8uz7" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/yv8uz7</a> I suggest you start backing up some of your bold statements the way that you have been attacking others. We have all graciously provided support for ourselves, and you have just reminded everybody how painfully stubborn you are. And I'd still like my money.

To be honest, I feel this way about most of the forthcoming DCA additions. The cars stuff will be pretty to look at and the centerpiece attraction will probably be fun, but with the exception of the nighttime water show none of it sounds overly ambitious or ground breaking.
