Back to Westworld
Sep. 19th, 2003 11:45 pmWent to Disneyland tonight.
the_silent_one got a pig. She really liked her pig. She was honking her pig a lot.
The new Winnie-the-Pooh ride is the most drugged out thing since Sid & Marty Krofft. It has to be seen to be believed. I think my favorite bit was the animal with birthday candle coming out of his head, burning, and googling eyes, rocking back and forth as other animals watered his burning candle head.
I dunno what made Pooh have that dream, but "honey" doesn't cover it. Also, the store at the end of the ride does not sell honey. In any form.
The new Disneyland ride is basically a dumbed-down Mr. Toad. You go through some cardboard cutouts in a little car, like a carnie ride. That's the level of innovation they've sunk to. I still like having the pass and going there frequently, but if I was the out-of-towner who just dropped something in the mid three figures for a day there with the kids, I'd be disappointed nowadays.

"That's why I broke up with my boyfriend. I just wasn't getting enough exercise!"
Disneyland was a pretty good place to be for "talk like a pirate day", anyway. Lots of pirate stuff there, of just the right cheesy kind.
Snow White's Castle was all roped off with people keeping you away. I wonder if the portcullis fell on someone, and if so, what form do they have to fill out?

Not quite Main Street, not quite Fantasyland
