I was at the park about a month ago, and Pirates had the longest line in the park!!! I was upset when they changed things originally(before Jack Sparrow) to be politically correct...however...back then...pirates did not chase women for food(you can thank Mrs. Eisner for that little gem)...so, when they added Jack Sparrow, Barbosa, and Davey Jones...i was, and am thrilled!!!
Hmmm...Monsanto was the house of the future...as told in the above article...The huge eyeball that looked at you, was on "Adventure Thru Inner Space"(I have been calling it Journey Through Innerspace)...but, it was presented by Monsanto.
Aww...I loved Alien Encounter...it was great fun! :-) But, Stitch is good too! ;-) I was bummed when they took out Country Bear Jamboree from Disneyland...I just hope they leave it in Disneyworld.
Yes..."Mission to Mars" was originally "Flight to the Moon", until they switched it to "Rocket to the Moon," than eventually Mars. Anyone remember Tom Morrow, in mission control?
Disneyland replaced the Peoplemover with Rocket Rods...Which is now gone as well...as the latest news says they are bringing back the Peoplemover. Now, the Peoplemover did go by Journey to Innerspace, just as it did Star Tours. But Journey to Innerspace was the ride, where you were shrunk down, while riding in the same buggies used in the Haunted Mansion.
America Sings was closed after a guest was actually crushed against a non moving pillar. Also...When you go on Star Tours...Look to the lower right, just before your shuttle actually leaves the station...You will see the Giant Microscope from Journey to Innerspace.
