Here is what the ride used to look like in that area. Photo from RCDB So, it now just takes a hard left, and drops right into the inclined U-Turn..into more brakes. I did love this part of the ride, sad to see it removed. -
I am actually crying right now, but his isn't about wanting to visit Disney (though I do want to). My husband and I live in Anaheim; he works for the Anaheim parks, but I also sell to the company as a material vendor. Having the parks closed has really impacted us both on multiple fronts, so I am overjoyed to have then start the reopening process!! UGH, I am so excited!!!!!!

It's cool to see that layout more open and exposed. Taron is so well hidden. -
LOTS of people and businesses are not following the stay at home orders here. Not that too many are specially saying screw all the safety guidelines (most are being as safe as possible). But, there is a lot of stuff open here that shouldn't be. Only the very large, and very visible companies are still closed. Like Theme Parks and Theaters. But all the gyms around me are open, either fully outdoor, or limiting the people inside. And most restaurants are offering outdoor seating still. But I do agree, that at some point, you have to just reopen everything with guidelines in place. And like many, many people have suggested, it might be better to enforce the rules with actual punishment Vs telling businesses to stay closed. I have thought this was a better approach from the start. The current guideline are obviously not working; it's time to try something different.

But what is Snow White's story without the witch..? They can't just remove part of the story and have it still be the same classic story that Snow White is. I do not believe at all that this will be some washed out version, but a rebalanced story that has us the the observer. Instead of the original concept that "WE" were Snow White.

This ride gives me Tampico Tumbler vibes from the old days at Knotts. -

That looks like it would be a ton of fun. It's cool to see how small the spinning upgrade 'seems' to be. And, how fluid the turing is while also dealing with all the forces of the rides while it's moving. Can't wait to see this show up on a new ride, or even an old one! -

To be fair to Lance, he totally calls BS on the rumor in his post. -
Somehow, I missed your response! There is nothing that you listed that I disagree with. But, overall, it was a nice attempt at a complicated show, and that's just my opinion. And, it could be that me having a handful of friends that worked on the creation and production of it skewes my opinion, But, I know that what ended up on that stage is not what was intended to be there. As for the cast... poor things, haha. They always had such a hard time getting the cast to show up, or even getting people who wanted to audition. It's probably better that it was retired.

That's why I said "Ehhhhh" hahaha. I just think they are hard to compare in the example you are giving; and that it's not really apples to apples. But maybe it comes down to this: The state thinks very large gatherings aren't safe, even if all safety measures are followed. And, Voting 'shouldn't' be drawing the same large crowds in any given location. I'm not defending the state, just trying to understand it.

Taking quotes from another thread; these are the guidelines set, and where the counties are at: I feel like doing that would make everything worse. They are going to get caught if they get audited. I can totally see a wave a lawsuits headed to the state though. These new rules are completely devoid of science.
