Your design then went to Japan when it was scrapped after EuroDisney had financial problems. Another company built the park and runs it for Disney. I think it's the only Disney park which isn't "really" Disney.

Ironic, then, that it's my favorite. :huh:

Then you ultimately got DCA. I haven't seen DCA, but from what I've heard, not an equitable trade at all.

Disney California Adventure. It's the second Disney park in California, after Disneyland.

Oh, yeah. I have gone there a couple of times (in conjunction with Disneyland) and....it's fun. But, I don't ride the rides they have. The best thing to see is "Soaring". It's like you are Parasailing (?) and soaring over different parts of California. Really neat....

We have Soarin' here at Epcot. Oddly enough, they didn't change it one iota when copying it in Florida. It's still a hang gliding tour of California. :huh:

I like it, though! :smile:

I guess since we're so flat, geographically speaking, there's not a lot to see while hang gliding. Not to mention how unrealistic it is to even be hang gliding in Florida, lol.

I'm sure it's not because they wanted to replicate the attraction on the cheap. Couldn't be. ;)

You should arrange to meet Brian while you are there; Sarasota is closer to him than Ohio. :biggthumbup:
