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.
