This is tragic, but I wouldn't blame Disney for it. I have always fancied trying this ride myself. I've done Nemesis. all I've got to do is afford the medical insurance to get to America.

they ARE greedheads. it's the mouse that ate orlando. it costs a fortune to even enter the park, but they charge big bucks to park in their 9000 acre parking lot! it's extortion. they have people by the shorts when they get them in there, and the prices for a simple coke and hot dog are highway robbery. why is it even necessary to post signs like this by the rides? ..One warning sign posted in 2004 in front of the ride read: "For safety you should be in good health, and free from high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness or other conditions that can be aggravated by this adventure." they will cover up this latest fatality by throwing some cash at it.

I guess it's not been the same since Walt died. Signs are not the same as a personal touch. But how many people are willing to be told they'e not fit enough to take a ride. In a retrospective way, Walt is saying, "Keep fit if you want to go on my rides". Personal health is fair game. Either you do do it or you don't.

Walt has never been about an easy ride; to coin a phrase.

Walt is probably embarrassed in his grave. his vision was a wholly different thing than what the place has evolved into, a voracious monster.

Walt was all about everyone, not just children, achieving their best in life.

Sadly, Walt is dead. His message has got lost in the middle of everyone trying to make their idea the best. His message died as instantly as he did.

It's strange, but the day I learnt of his death, I lost interest in his market. I only find solace in the earl films that I enjoyed as a kid.

I have watched many a disney film since. They're all crap.

This shows our age difference. I will accept that I haven't seen the Lion King, but I have seen Finding Nemo. Finding Nemo was a load of computerised crap compared to Disney's usual hand drawn standards.

lion king is worth a look, it really does meet the old gold standard. i loved nemo, perhaps because i'm a diver. i found the undersea environment perfectly accurate. ...........and HEY! what do you think is our age difference? :wah:

I get the impression from this chat about Disney that you should be in yer 30s. Just ripe for an old plum like me. Mmmm. Bothwell had better claim his prize before I climb outa me sofa.
