Appreciate seeing one of Martin Smith’s attraction videos here. His work, especially for historic rides, is essential theme park viewing.

No kid ever dragged their parent to see Enchanted Belle as soon as it opened, or insisted they get to do it one more time before the park closed. A vote against Tomorrowland Speedway is a vote against children having fun. That’s my hill. (And I, too, am tall)

Is there an easy way to see the results from the previous day? I'm always curious and then I miss it. And I don't necessarily know during the second round who the losers were. Of course, I don't want to make work for you. It'd just be fun to see.

Fun as always! Thanks!

(I missed it, too. It got buried in the comments section on the first day)

I remember the Peter Pan ride fondly... if I only think of the time I went on 35 years ago as a kid. Last year with my own kid? It broke down 4 times while we were on the line, with the longest down time stretch being nearly 25 minutes. I'm told this happens frequently now. Either refurbish the ride or move on from it. If tradition mattered so much I'd still be able to go 20,000 leagues under the pond.

I loathe Peter Pan now. I can deal with my son's terrible Raceway driving but I'm never dealing with that green-clad devil again.

Speedway vs Belle is one of the easiest votes I’ve ever made. I don’t think the Speedway is good at all and is propped up a TON by nostalgia (and even then I think there are a ton more attractions that deserve that a lot more). I think Enchanted Tales is a unique and fun experience. Easy, easy vote for me and I’m surprised Speedway is seeded as high as it is.
