23	lscooter1980 Fri 5/16/2008 6:00p	Oddly enough I wonder if they're renovating it because of the same reason they were renovating It's a small world in Disneyland in early April...They actually had a story on the local news in Anaheim discussing that the reason It's a small world was closed was to "Fat proof the boats." This is no joke, apparently genetic wise the human race is not as small as it was years ago and the ride was constantly being held up by boats that were getting stuck in the channel. I could be totally wrong for POTC's reason, but then again maybe not. Just a suggestion.
