When I was little, I wished I could just live inside this ride and I would stare at anythting, in any part of every detail there for ever. <br />Years later reading this brought back my own little fantasies and dreams it enabled me to grow. I miss them.

My other issue was I am over 6 ft and the vehicles were small. I could not fit in them without sitting sideways. I found even the Japanese did not respond to them.

I was never aware of all this Design and Story-line Tom had done for the attraction. Seems others may have accepted the rewards in Tom's absence. Great Show Tom!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
