Disney Attractions have Stories

08:53 pm on Jul 10th 2007

They’d say, ‘I want to go on the Jungle Cruise, the Mark Twain Riverboat, the Pirates of the Caribbean…but I don’t want to go on any of the rides!’ I figured out that rides meant the whip or the Ferris wheel at amusement parks. The public recognized these were different. They all had stories.

    What are you talking about? Those rides are the best!

    What he means is that Walt Disney made Attractions not rides. An amusement park ride is just the ride. It has none of the Queue detailing. It does not have a pre-show. And an amusement park ride does not have the story that almost every Walt Disney ride has. And that is what Marty and josh meant.

    Become a Wordsmith at Home As GSN Viewers Play Camouflage

    I loved GSN’s remake of the classic 1960s ABC game show known as
    Camouflage, with Roger Lodge filling in Don Morrow’s shoes. The three
    players attempt to identify hidden word clues correctly to win the daily
    total grand prize of $5,000. I have exclusive, never-before-seen footage from the first 10 episodes of Camouflage on the World Wide Web at http://www.disneyfrontier.com and http://www.gsn.com/camouflage.
