Hey, Tom, thanks for your obviosly sincere concern about the Small World changes. I'm glad this has its own thread, because it really deserves attention.

If you folks wanna rail on about Disneyland etc etc etc, there's plenty of room over at my "Why Disneyland Sucks" thread.

It doesn't matter if you like Small World or not. They're taking the best part of it away, the Tiki section, for no reason at all.

Personally, I love Mary Blair's work. She was never understood at Disney even in her own time. And Small World was a plea for understanding right in the middle of the Cold War, by and for the world's children. People forget how important the ride was, and still is to visitors from other countries.

It's also a ride for small kids, which is vanishing from the Disneyland of big effects rides.

This all comes at a time in the park's history when commercialism was supposed to be taking more of a backseat to fun. If this is an indication of what's to come, maybe Eisner will look good in a few years.

So thanks again Mr. Slick.
