Disneyland's "Small World" Ride to Get Some Changes
The folks over at Disney are going to be tinkering with the original Small World ride at Disneyland and that has some Disney fans pissed.
Disneyland is going to alter the ride, which was created by Mary Blair in 1964, to incorporate stylized Disney characters like Alice in Wonderland and Lilo and Stich. Yeah, we know. Blasphemy
The family of Blair penned an open letter to Disney execs criticizing their decision to alter the 14-minute ride. And more Disney fans have been hitting the blogs protesting the renovation. But the Disney execs have struck back too, saying that Walt Disney never meant for his theme park rides to remain static. It gets a little confusing to follow, but the Daily Travel & Deal blog is chronicling every step of the fight.
Even TMZ is jumping on the bandwagon saying that Disney is only changing the ride because too many fat people are on it, causing the ride to get stuck and thus having passengers escorted to dry land. This could possibly be true, but it was on TMZ.
