I dunno - there's something too sad/tragic about it for it to be funny... :(

And I will fix the Carousel of Progress! Kneel before Zod! You will all kneel before Zod! ZOOOODDDDD!!!!

See? I'm fine :)
All Hail to Zod as he brings back the greatness of EPCOT and destoys HSM and that darn blue hat at Hollywood Stuidos! They only thing I ask is how would you fix the Carousel of Progress (because well...I would need to know the updates since I run that attraction :D )

On another note, awesome trip you had at DHS! I need to make my way over there for a Star Weekend myself before I have to wait another year. I'm still mad at myself becuase I miss Billy Dee Williams last week because I found out too late :-( My brother would've killed/loved me if I got Billy's autograph.

You operate the CoP, blackfroggy? You rock! As far as how I would fix the venerable old Carousel, I wrote about two possible "fixes" here: Link

Hey, I'm still with Zod, he who returns Horizons... :ccat:
(as you can tell that is my most favorite ride EVER!)

Had no idea there would be people that would think I was totally awesome for running the Carousel. That makes me feel...well..awesome...

To Futureguy, thanks for the link to update ideas on Carousel of Progress. I'll have to read it later since it is my day off from the mouse and getting food for a week is probably a good idea (either that or eating fastpass tickets for a week...great to lose weight...but doesn't taste well).

blackfroggy - Count me in as another who thinks you're awesome for running the CoP. One of my favorites. Don't let them ever close it! :D

That is one of the few things I miss while working in Tomorrowland was working the CoP. I loved how people would walk in and wonder why they weren't about to get on the TTA... :roll:

Oh God I get that all the time and I still don't understand how people think that the entrance for the TTA was in a building that moves in a circle...then again I had a guy the other day ask if Buzz Lightyear was the entrance for the Haunted Mansion...

I had to excuse myself to laugh.

Ouch. But that still doesn't beat the guy who insisted that because he couldn't see Cinderella Castle from Tomorrowland that he somehow exited Magic Kingdom... *slaps forehead*

What about the lady who was standing outside the MK entrance turnstiles who kept insisting that she was, in fact, inside the park and needed to go through the turnstiles to get outside so she could get back to her car?

Still doesn't beat the dumb woman who entered MK with a gray brick. Made her way through Main Street with said brick in hand to the castle laid down under the arch in the front and claimed the brick fell off the castle and hit her. Cinderella Castle is made of steel and concrete. There are no bricks... :roll: :lol:

Well, with that last one I believe it was money. She was planning on suing Disney for building a dangerous castle... :shock: :lol:
