Hey Van? I went to two World's Fairs, by the way, New Orleans and Knoxville, TN. ( I NEVER understood that one, either). I don’t see a problem with it, either. Hey Van?

The pics look great, and I'd be excited if they get added to the MK IASW. I think that Fantasyland needs some good excitement. Thanks for the link Jim!

And while my initial reaction to this story was somewhat negative (thinking what they did to my beloved Tiki Room in Florida), I came across some pictures of the scenes from Hong Kong with integration of Disney characters into the attraction... and they actually did not look bad or even THAT out of place. (There are some pictures at the <a href="http://disneyandmore.blogspot.com/2008/03/first-pictures-of-hong-kong-disneyland.html" rel="nofollow">Disney and more blog here</a>.) It seems a lot of sensitivity to the integrity of the look and feel of the original ride is intact. And I think if more people saw these, there might be less outcry from all but the most ardent of traditionalists who don't want to see it touched at all.
