Disneyland continued from page 5 flying through a dark room and forcing you to wonder how close your head is to the beams above you. The entire time I was just wait ing to fly off the track. I couldn’t help but think that I wasn’t even go ing to be able to see how my life would end. But, if that is the kind of thrill that you enjoy, it does not get much better than Space Mountain. Indiana Jones’ Adventure is pretty cool, if you can bear an hour and a half wait in line. You race around several sets from the movies, including “The Temple of Doom,” in a Jeep while robotic In dianas; which only Disneyland can create, provide hilarious com mentary along the way. The classic Pirates of the Caribbean is high on my list, but only because it is the site of a clas sic representation of certain corpo rations’ inability to understand what sexism is and how to avoid it. The part of the ride where robotic pirates chase women around a brothel has been changed. Now, one woman with a rolling pin is chasing the men, but the man in front still has the same demented look on his face like he’s after her. And earlier in the ride, there is still the part where pirates are selling women with a sign above them that reads, “Buy a wench for a Bride.” Insert raised eyebrow and confused Tim Allen grunt here. Just like it is impossible to cram all of Disneyland into one day, it is just as hard to review the park in 22 inches of newspaper space. People have spent entire lives criti cizing the man behind the magic and analyzing the fantasy world that we have all developed a love hate relationship with. My sister sums it up best when she says, Disneyland and Walt Dis ney are “the closest thing we have to a benevolent dictator.” Even if you hate dropping your guard or you think Disney is brain washing our children, you have to admit that it’s pretty nice to have the opportunity to stop being so serious for one day and enjoy being a kid with an imagination again. After all, that’s what Independence Day weekend is all about — being free to do what you want. OFF Any Yogurt (‘Except small cones and tinies..
