    Disneyland is full of these examples too. But they are "fill in" details, not whole "districts". And even with Bugs Life 4-D show, the farm simply wasted too much prime area on mind numbing dribble.

    So yeah, no one appreciates this type of visual story telling more than I do. But only if it is treated as an enhancement to the overall theme not as the main source of entertainment.>

    crapshoot, I totally agree. I think we're saying the same thing.

    Haven't heard the 'honest entertainment' term before -- but I like it!

    Yes, why wasn't there an attraction about the Gold Rush...?

    You could run a google search and find plenty of examples on plenty of porno sites.

    Good luck on that.

    Really?

    And all this time I thought it had everything to do with Knott's Berry Farm's Calico Mine Train.

    Of course the reality is we would be lucky if DL//WDW//// could afford and actually maintain a pedicab service! I guess they could call it P&F Pedicab for all your transport needs. If you see the pedicabbers let me know.. Nobody has mentioned them but they were super busy at Universal Orlando!

Or disney could just buy all the hotels and redo the whole area so it could become like WDW although it would probably be way too epensive.

    Even better would be a nicely themed elevated moving sidewalk (airport style) from the parking structure itself to the west side of Harbor or just beyond.
