Ok, I have to comment again because it just drives me nuts. But this time I noticed something interesting. I have an Unofficial Guide from 2003 and from 2012. When I read the books, I want to bang my head into a wall when I read some of the "reader's" comments about some of the rides. Not only are there too many exclamation points, some of their observations are unbelievable.

But what I just noticed is some of the comments from readers are the same from 2003 as they are in 2012.

I have to wonder when those comments were actually submitted to the book and if they keep them there because they haven't received any new comments about those attractions.

I have a 2011 and a 2014 version, the content is the same unless there is a new ride or major change. I felt like I wasted money buying the 2014 book.

The Birnbaum's Guide doesn't change much at all. I found it too generic to be useful back on the 90's and early 2000's. I can't imagine how useless is it these days for planning where the devil is in the details.
