2	Tannerman Wed 4/4/2001 1:55p	Great job Marc. Thanks for the update. You rock!
3	Jim in Pasadena CA Wed 4/4/2001 2:02p	Great report. Regarding Tokyo DisneySea -- am I the only one who notices the similarities to Universal Islands of Adventure. That one shot of the hotel with the bay in front could easily be that hotel in Florida. Couldn't it? And the overall look is very reminiscint. Or am I nuts?
4	BrerAnthony Wed 4/4/2001 2:18p	Whoa! Is that really what the castle for that park looks like?
5	RCCRUISER Wed 4/4/2001 2:23p	one word.... WOW!
6	RCCRUISER Wed 4/4/2001 2:34p	Disney's California Adventure: Cute/Cheesy/Cheep DisneySea Tokyo: Elegant/Innovative/Excellent I must see this in my lifetime!!! save up those frequent flier miles.

That's all I can say... IOA was solid, but missed the boat (pun intended) on a few key areas of theme park design (i.e. heavily themed que on Dueling Dragons for an unthemed coaster, unevenness of theming on Ripsaw Falls, etc.). It's a GREAT park that will get better, but IOA has a few nominal flaws. TDS seems absolutely FLAWLESS in its execution and I think it may very well de-throne "The Happiest Place on Earth" as the finest theme park on the planet... I wonder if ANYONE near the top of the current Disney hierarchy is bothered by all this... Maybe they think it's silly for OLC to spend so much on a park that only promises excellent value on the price to enchantment ratio for its guests, rather than an opportunity to exploit the Disney brand name for a huge return on investment... Curious to hear what the good folks out there have to say on the matter...

Damn well put. At IOA I felt like I was walking through a warm-up for DisneySea. IOA has some high points, like Spiderman (of course) and some great examples of theming, but I think the key words are "lopsided" and "unfocused". In contrast, DisneySea is coming together like a million piece puzzle which reveals a masterpiece upon it's completion. Marc
