Let's look at the very recent past and some actions Disney has made: He wasn't necessarily suggesting that it SHOULD be changed, but rather, surprised that it HASN'T been changed.
Maybe I'm just overthinking it but I'm curious to hear if anyone else has had a similar thought.Ĭlick to expand.I feel like everyone has missed Steve's point. Honestly, I was surprised by my own reaction. Like I said, I'm usually the last person to suggest we change something to avoid offending people, but somehow this just seemed different to me, maybe a little too realistic and too close to recent events. You and I know it's fake and all in fun, but will the kids? I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a kid freak out when a strange man with a gun pops out and starts shooting and then climbs aboard. Not only does a live CM start shooting his gun right in front of you, but he then chases off the ride host at gunpoint and gets on board the ride vehicle, gun in hand, before you drive off to the next scene.įor the first time ever, it occurred to me that that whole scene could be really upsetting to people, especially kids, living in a world where they do active shooter drills at school, lock downs, etc.
On the Great Movie Ride, an attraction I have been on dozens and dozens of times since 1989, the gangster scene suddenly struck me has horribly out of touch with today's reality. All of that said, however, I was really struck by something during our trip this week. Let me preface this post by saying I am not an alarmist, not a conspiracy theorist, not the type to let current events and fear dictate my behavior, and not the most politically correct person you'll encounter.
