world seems so much larger

I never like churros!

They could maybe save seating by making someone my size sit in the lap of a 400-lb person.

Maybe they should change it to "It's a miniscule world" to better fit the problems of scale.

or make the tubbies work as hippos on the jungle cruise

and shot them with real guns

Okay that's unfair. But if you had to sit on their lap, if you looked at all the attractions and dolls, you could imagine that you were sitting on a fun pile of rising dough that happened to have an internally regulated temperature.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha so mean but hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

It's like a perfect storm of ego and soul crushing.

Okay hilarious but 200 lbs is not crazy big. I mean, it's big-ish and I hope mostly applied to people over like I dunno, 5'4" or something, but it's not "OMG HAND SANK RIGHT IN, WHAR IS HAND??!?"

again:

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha so mean but hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

It's a fat, fat world

i LOL @ Read more about the ridiculehere

they should update the lighting and robots too btw

There was a picture posted yesterday that I kind of want to caption with "WHAR IS HAND??!?" but I'd get banned.

I think that was on the edge of my brain when I imagined falling into fat person. I know, I know.

did you hear what incited the shut-down?

the cubic displacement of water from a certain load of lardos overflooded the small, small dikes and flooded small, small holland drowning six hundred small small people, after all.

It's a world of laughter (for Dan), a world of tears (for teh fattys).

xpost: I was thinking about captioning it "AMPUTEE MAGIC TRICK!!!!", but didn't.

Absolutely serious ^^^^

Space Mountain - This is the one ride I have been asked to leave.

It's a Small World/Peter Pan's Flight/Mr Toad's Wild Ride/Snow White's Scary Adventure/Pinocchio's Daring Journey - same as WDW. Ride sidesaddle and take up the whole seat in the dark rides.

Not Enough Space Mountain

Those chocolate-chip cookies flying overhead as asteroids really gets 'em stirred up.

Piles in the Caribbean?

Do you ever see seats in the bus or other places that are two seats side by side, each curved downward, forming a little peak together between the two? And do you then imagine one epic ass cheek taking up each of these seats, and if the thing in the middle makes the person uncomfortable?

Maybe I am alone in this.

This works well on the bottom too - because the log is raised in front you don't get as wet on landing. However it does mean that any water on the seat will run straight into your crotch - a really good look when you get off.

Having 2 fat people on the ride guarantees a really fast drop and a HUGE splash but hopefully the one in front will get the wet bum.

the new one will be replaced by gender-nullified dolls.

straight into your crotch - a really good look when you get off

YES

What if the thing in the middle made them more comfortable?

Then they wd be Republican senators

metro bus service, now with butt plugs

this ride plays music, yes? the music is very annoying? during repairs, there will be no music?

Sleeping Beauty - Involves a lot of stairs inside the castle but the storybook dioramas are well done. The corridor is narrow so be prepared for anklebiters pushing past to get to the next picture. Try to lean on them every chance you get.

anklebiters - snakes in the carousel horses.

More fun:

This holiday weekend marks your last chance to ride It’s a Small World at Disneyland before the beloved boat ride undergoes a major overhaul.

The classic attraction goes down for a 10-month rehab starting Jan. 22, 2008, to replace the original flume and fleet of boats used at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair, where the ride debuted.

Disney Imagineers are still trying to decide what — if any — changes and additions to make to the characters and scenes in the 14-minute show. The new Small World ride at Hong Kong Disneyland adds 30 Disney characters to the attraction (including Mulan, Peter Pan and Aladdin).

The Anaheim ride’s long hibernation is scheduled to end Nov. 28, 2008, according to Disney officials.

The Mouse still insists the Small World overhaul has absolutely nothing to do with the ever-increasing waistlines of Americans.

Obv. the animatronic third-worlders should have their traditional garb replaced with oversized JORDACHE tees.

(Not the new Small World setup, but imagine if.)

I thought this mightve been revived because of the monorail smash over the holiday weekend that killed someone. I only found out about that via a Livejournal community would you believe - it didnt make the media that I could see (unless it was on the TV news inpassing maybe)

I saw the news story about the crash (it was the morning of July 4 at about 2 am) - it was on cnn.com. I have no idea how the rest of the media may/may not have covered it. I did wonder if it would have been covered further if the person who died had been a Disney guest rather than (as I understand) the cast member who was driving the monorail train.

IS DISNEYWORLD SAFE FOR YOUR CHILDREN?

I'm a closet Disney World-phile, so I've followed this stuff. The Orlando Sentinel has been, naturally, the best source. OSHA is currently investigating; the EPCOT monorail line is shut down in the meantime.

I did wonder if it would have been covered further if the person who died had been a Disney guest rather than (as I understand) the cast member who was driving the monorail train.

Good point. I read about it on the customers suck community on LJ and the horrible story told was: after the monorail driver's death the rail was closed and they added buses and things.

Some asshole customer threw a hissyfit and said he'd come all this way to Disneyland and he WILL ride the monorail OR ELSE blah blah and when they explained why he could not he actually said "I don't care if someone died, I want on that monorail". To the monorail staff, who've just lost their colleage.

God awful waste of humanity.

Damn, the driver was a 21 year old. Just a kid!

Disney's Dream Debased

ugh, trayce, that's really a bummer. self-righteous, entitled cunts are the worst :\

I feel terrible for the cast member who died, as well as for all of his co-workers. Imagine having to be "happy" all day the day after that, with a huge crowd of people (some of whom are, as you point out, utter jerks), plus Florida heat and humidity. Ummmmm... no thanks.
