Sat 1/30/2010 8:18a | ORDDU: Greetings to all you sweet little ducklings out there who enjoy going to the Magic Kingdom almost as much as a certain coven from Morva.
ORWEN: Just the other day, us Cauldron girls got to thinking how much nicer it would be if there was more to see around the Rivers of America if only somebody was willing to spend a bit more money to plus the place. It seems to us that whenever we take the Riverboat ride around Tom Sawyer Island, there isn't as much to see in the Florida version as there is when you visit the Riverboat Ride in California.
ORDDU: Of course California's version suffers a bit, too, ever since Cascade Peak was torn down. We miss the mountain with its waterfalls. But Florida never had that to begin with and it certainly would be a nice addition if they ever decided to add it.
ORWEN: I think they just need more animatronic figures along the banks of the river, too.
ORGOCH: What they OUGHT ta do is set that dang cabin on fire agin!! Got matches??? |

You see, though I love Country Bears and Liberty Square, I find that the combo of Fantasyland and TTF to be soooooo weak (thankfully soon to be addressed), coupled with the poor excuse of a Frontierland and a toony Tomorrowland, and nothing to see on the train, with the weakest versions of PotC and IASW, I really get annoyed when going that I ddn't opt for one of the other Disney resorts instead.
But if they did plus the ROA and the RR, along with the Fantasyland redo and de mall Main Street, then I would find there would be more magic in that Florida kingdom. |

The AA's do look sad. |

Nope, and I can't remember the lame reason for stopping it either. |

Both attractions could become big draws for a smaller amount of money if they just had some show wrapped around them.
The Magic Kingdom is always crowded, so why not plus both attractions for a modest $10 - $15 million and you would have attractions that would draw a crowd. |

Because they can leave them alone, and get away with it. They are still packing them in, so TDO figures why should we waste our money improving things as long as we have folks willing to spend a bunch of money for less, and less show. |
