Since Disney is trying to reboot their classical animated films, they are trying to sell every small piece of film they can and pass it off as a direct sequel to sell what little they can from the failing animation department. Since they rerouted to Pixar, they are starting to go insane their too. Now we have make bad remakes and sequels being put out on a converyor belt.

The sequels were all stopped over a year ago. The huge influx of Pixar attractions had the green light. The quick changes taking place at EPCOT Center just for next Monday are the real types of changes. What you've described is already taking place.

From what I understand, DisneySea is more spread out than Disneyland, so I imagine that the crowds would be thinner. I do know however that DisneySea has lower attendance than Disneyland

Tokyo Disney Sea has really caught up with Tokyo Disneyland.
Tokyo Disneyland - 12.9 Million
Tokyo Disney Sea - 12.1 Million
Tokyo Disney Sea is the only second gate that has caused the Magic Kingdom's attendance to actually drop (16+ million pre 2001).

And as usual, great work on the park.

I have been messing around with building a spire and here are some of the prototypes.

...

If you have any feedback on any of them let me know. I am still working on some others. Do you like any of them? I can't tell, also am trying to build a couple of my first CS pieces so we'll see how they turn out. Thanks

The WestCOT designs didn't have the spire sitting alone in a plaza. The surrounding buildings all jutted out from where the Spire was located. It was all one grand piece that worked to establish Future World.

What do you mean? I was told that no one had ever made a SpaceShip Earth for RCT2

Nobody has done one that has been publicly shown...

Ok I just made spaceship Earth small because it really is useless in my park, I'm not putting a ride in it and thought about designing a different icon for this park all together but we'll see I guess. I have switched back to my Disneyland which is being updated on Coaster-net.com I could update it here if anyone would be interested in seeing it.

Appreciate the comments!

Have you considered the WestCOT spire as inspiration? That was the official replacement from SpaceStation Earth when Anaheim locals protested the dominating geosphere.

@Lazyboy: the norm is people making up drug charges to kill old ladies? Links, please. I understand where you're going with this, man, and I agree that drugs aren't all bad, but freeing the chains on that shit would be as complicated as taking away all the guns.

Grand Jury Probes Neal St. Shooting. These raids have become a means to simply make the police look good.

Okay, how about the dozens/hundreds/thousands (I really have no concrete statistic on this, but I would say hundreds at least) of lives that can be saved by people who are deterred from killing due to the absence of a gun? What about road rage gun deaths? What about domestic abuse? What about school shootings? What about accidental shootings? What about the petty thieves who rob or mug people with guns they acquire legally--people who aren't murderers, but commit crime with guns because they are empowered by firearms?

The number one fear amongst criminals in an armed victim. Accidents do tend to go down, but they may be slight and the only positive.

However, again, controlling the supply of "legal" guns improves the general situation. Murderers and thugs ("evil people") aren't the only people who commit crimes. "Normal" people can commit murder too. People who do not spend a career in crime also kill people. Gun control would at least stem that side of the equation.

In many cases that "normal person" side decreasing is met with an increase in the career criminal side.

A lot of people will say that's too extreme, or totally undemocratic, or even totalitarian. I say that if you are extreme enough with your punishment, it WILL be an effective deterrent with most of the population. And you might bring up how harsh penalties are flawed (i.e. Three Strikes Law sending a petty thief to a life sentence even though a rapist might get less time), but here's my counter. If you're waving a gun around, you SHOULD possess the responsibility and maturity to make good decisions with that gun. And obviously, committing a crime with it is not a smart decision. But if a person knows that there'll be a really stiff penalty for the simple use of a gun in a crime, even if no one gets hurt, it at least forces that person to stop and ponder whether the crime is really worth it. And if it is, then there's no argument over the [over]harshness of the penalty if/when that person gets caught.
Will this eliminate all crime? NO. But will it reduce it? I believe so.

This sounds a lot like the death penalty as deterent concept. I believe in strict, just punishment. But harsh punishment as a crime deterent is not solidly backed. Otherwise, the muder rate in Texas would be muh lower.

This will not make crime nonexistent. I know this. But it will put a nice dent in violent crime.

Solid evidence does not exist that such a reduction will take place. Japan has incredibly low gun crime and strict gun control. Gun crime in the UK has doubled since 1998. One of the biggest problems with gun control is borders. Somebody outside the jurisdiction will be an enabler.
