Herb Ryman was the concept designer for Dineyland. I consider him to be one of the greatest unheard of designers in Americna history.

Walt ran out of money trying to create the project and when he went to the banks to get a loan for Disneyland, Herbie did the Isometric that Walt faithfully followed to production.

If anyone can remember the wacky eighties, there was once a Michael Jackson ride at Disney World in Orlando, called Captain Eo. I am surprised there hasnt been a lawsuit yet.

Oh yeah, I remember that. Jacko also made a big-budget mini-movie for MTV where he saved a pair of moppets from Joe Pesci.

Capt Eo lasted through the mid 90’s even after the first child molestation incident.

I just miss the Monsanto Inner Space ride. Ah...the memories.

Yeah, Disney may not have 400 foot high rollercoasters, but they have really great atmosphere.

I remember Captain Eo: I went on it in 1991.

Disney World, I think, is the ideal over-blown themepark. It’s so isolated that *everyone* is happy, and has a way of driving out the outside world. Last time I vacationed there, I actually lost interest in politics for a week.

Just saw Batman Begins at the IMAX.  Nothing like watching it on a six story screen w/ crystal clear picture.  ^.^ Very cool.

Hmm. First thing that popped in to my mind was the scene at the end of Full Metal Jacket.
