(just an observation!):mickey:
As we continue to discuss the overwhelming positive response to the removal of the wand and glove from Spaceship Earth, I have to wonder...most people are joyful because it restores it to it "classic" look, but for thousands, or millions of guests who's first trip was during the last few years, S.E. with the wand and glove are the how it is supposed to look, and to them it now may have lost some appeal.
As the parks change and grow I think we all need to be open minded to the fact that what was once our classic memory, may not be the next generations.
I had posted this a long time ago, but I thought it was worth bringing up again with the current postings about PI closing, and other posts about wanting rides to go back to how they were. Now having a newborn son, I think my message holds even more true to me personally. Things like Jack Sparrow being part of POTC and the Haunted Mansion upgrades, and the new Downtown Disney are going to be "classic" and normal to him, and I bet in 15 years or so if they make changes he'll be the one complaining that his "classic" ride is changed!! Something to think about!
