It's a bit more "romanticized" I guess. Plus, it's in the middle of the boardwalk, with games and things all around it. The Mr. Potato Head barker works well, because he's part of the larger boardwalk story. At WDW, it's just weird to have him in the queue, and at TDS, he's his own side-show.

    I guess I don't mind what they did for TDS, but it's just...missing something. For a whole mini-land, it doesn't seem to have much energy to it. Just the one attraction, and a couple of small interactive bits. It needs more kinetic energy, especially to be considered a "Trolley Park".

Their only options are to add something directly in the back (which could have an entrance where the switchback queue is now), or try to somehow add something between the existing New York area and the new ride, where the sideshow stuff is now. While they did more than simply adding a single ride, they managed to make it into a strange little dead end that doesn't seem to have much flexibility for the future.
