There's not a single thing in Small World that I can think of off the top of my head as complex as the new floating Madame Leota head in Walt Disney World with it's remarkable, bright, internal projection.

One of the reasons some attractions take longer to build is down to finance, and in the case of TDL's new Monster Inc attraction timing. What ever big attractions this park is planning it needs something big to attract the crowds in 2010 when Ocean Park debuts its very aggresive expansion plans.

It seems to your cauldron girls that it was closer to two years after Small World was announced to the time of its completion. ORWEN: I remember there were about 3 different 'official announcements' for Small World. Each time they made it seem like it was being announced for the 'first' time. It was so funny for them to do that--like as if they weren't sure what was gonna' happen. ORGOCH: They STILL ain't sure what's gonna' happen!! Them goomers over there only knows how ta tease!! ORDDU: So, depending on which announcement date you may have first heard about the addition of It's a Small world, it makes all the differencce as to how long you would judge that it took them to build it.

16	Malin Thu 8/7/2008 6:25a	Jim Hill has an article up today on the Adventurers Club at Pleasure Island in which he claims props from this club may be on the way over to Hong Kong Disneyland for use in the parks soon to be annouced Haunted Mansion attraction. http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/...got.aspx
17	Malin Thu 8/7/2008 6:28a	Jim Hill: Which (given that this attraction will be located in the Adventureland portion of that theme park) will borrow a page from Tokyo DisneySea's Tower of Terror and feature a Great White Hunter who brings a cursed artifact home from the jungle.
