^ When Tokyo Disneyland was first designed, the Japanese wanted as much of the original Disneyland as could be fit, into this man made property. So, at the time, they got the clapboard circus tent facades for Fantasyland, same design style for Tomorrowland, and a lot of everything else was pushed together to make sure all bases were covered in approximating what the locals were enjoying In California - and Florida. They even included the train ride, although as an attraction only, and not as transport. It's now that they've stepped back and re-examined what they originally created, as Fantasyland is now going to be larger, with property in Tomorrowland being given up, for the expansion. With more immersive theming. Like the makeover at WDW for Fantasyland there. I don't personally believe TDL is anywhere near the immersive theming level that TDS has. And remember, there is a near 20 year difference in the creation of these two parks. But soon, maybe by 2023, there will be evident comparisons to make between the two.

And you don't look a day over....29. Happy B - MB David and me (the bears) back in 2001. And it was actually, the first time we had an On-Ride Photo emailed back to us from the kiosk, there! I've done a few more, since that time. But it was still a cool New Idea back then. -

^ Then Playland should get off their PR butts and advertise this "first," yes? No? I mean, if this is a really First Ever seat arrangement on one of these things, even the company itself should be publically patting itself on the back too, heh. -

Disneyland Paris (DLP) Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, 2017 is the 25th Anniversary of the Resort, so maybe this is early prep maintenance for what's ahead, in the next couple of years, before it occurs? Just a thought on this. And we're visiting there in late September, so it will be interesting to see what's been finished, and what's still being refurbished. -
We enjoyed it, from the first episode. And we supported it no matter how 'wierd' it sometimes got. And now, it's gone. Bye bye GLEE. We really enjoyed it and what it did for young people with serious issues they were going through. Thanks for the music. And Sue, too. Entertainment Weekly did a few pages on the series ending. It was a great goodbye article with input from all the main cast.

^ Very nice. Is this a first for this flat ride? Or has the company does this before with other XXLs' seats? -

I just found out, Entertainment Weekly is releasing a special tribute issue of Leonard Nimoy. Supposed to be on the stands now, or soon. Hope to find one, fast.
