Where do I pick up my prize?
That thing is atrocious-looking!
I was once at a stoplight when a beat-up Chevy Lumina came to a stop next to me. It had these same hubcap spinners but they didn’t so much spin as “wobbled awkwardly”, many laughs were laughed.
So that’s where I parked it!....

The thing is, the folks in Burbank realized far too late that building stuff on the cheap is what ultimately lead to DCA’s dismal attendance/ratings. When you need to spend as much to fix it as you did to build it ($1.1 billion in “updates” to $1.4 billion to build) - you know you did something wrong.
Nope, it’s been closed down for years. However, what we do have is a park that is maintained much better and park management that up until recently was not afraid to spend a bit more money on rides to get a better experience out of them. I wouldn’t trade that for a People Mover (as much as I want one).
A major reason for that is their “One Disney” approach which has really hindered them over the years (what we do in CA we do in FL). Lucky for them though, Disney(‘s) California Adventure and Disneyland have been bringing in substantial crowds as-is and with the 60th anniversary upon us that will likely increase.

It was in the opening scene. This may jog your memory:
Guy on left: Yeah, the driver said the pelican flew straight at him.
That was a nice surprise. “IT’S THE FUCKING PUMA!” I screamed, to which my wife replied “WHAT IS THAT I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT MOST OF THE TIME.”
Hi five! Come on... don’t leave me hangin’!
Whatever happens next, it’s going to be quite different from what I like to think scholars will one day call Top Gear Classic.
