longterm, I hate to agree with you on this, but you do speak the truth.

As a former Mouse Minion, who was involved in the design of Euro Disney, I can tell you first hand, it was no cakewalk putting that Albatros together.

The first gigantic hurdle was that blasted Castle. Now, it's one thing to put a Castle in the middle of Anaheim, Orlando, or even Tokyo, but how does one compete with a castle design in a country with Castles just about everywhere.

Add to that the issue of Alcohol being served. The French drink wine with EVERY meal, and some numb skull at Corporate decided that they were going to try and continue the "No Alcohol" policy within Euro Disney. Trust me, I was there on opening day, I thought the natives were going to revolt.

Thankfully, that MBA Moron was quickly over ruled, and within a short time, the wine flowed on main street.

If you knew of all the other issues, most of them wrought by MBA types thinking they had even the beginnings of a clue about what makes a Theme park something special. IMHO, that's what's wrong with most of the new Disney attractions. You end up with a room full of self agrandised MBAs all fighting with each other over the best way to shove as many "guests" through a que line, and almost no discussion at all about what would make it a more enjoyable experience.

Wait til you get a load of Hong Kong Disneyland. Think "Disney's Greatest Hits", a collection of off the shelf attractions strung together in a place where the average yearly income is less than the admission to this festering monument to Business School Ethics...

I won't even get into the Corporate "Moron Think" that went into creating California Adventure for the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim... bleeech
