Topic: "It's A Small World After All"

[Scott Allen Abfalter]

I was at Disney in Orlando for my little boy's 2nd birthday (that is the nice thing about living in Florida, you can just pick up and go to Disney whenever you want) and I found myself on the "It's A Small World" ride, which entranced him.

Towards the end of the ride I the little boat that we were travelling in  came to a stop as they exit had backlogged.  We found ourselves in one spot for a minute or two.  

As I sat there listening to the relentless repetition of the rides chrous, it occured to me "We might have just died, and this could be hell."  It seems pleasant enough initially.  Joyful singing in the background, a nice cool breeze.  And you are sitting --which has got to be a plus, in hell.

But imagine just going around the ride over and over, repetitions of the ride as relentless as the song chorus itself.  The first 500 years would be the worst --after that you would give in to the sweet release a mental breakdown and would not be in any condition to listen anyways.  

I'm pretty sure that if there is a hell, Walt Disney is down there designing it for them.

(Side note: The next time you are on that ride, look in the 'water'.  There has got to be thousands of dollars of thrown coins on the bottom.  We wondered if this was the Disney Bonus Plan, with the poor sods who have to clean it up once a year getting to split it... )

Years ago I ended up in Disneyland, you know the one in California?  Took that ride.  It was the longest most mind-numbing ride I'd ever been on.  I can see it being related to hell.

Imagine if we took all the prisoners in Gitmo and put them on that ride.  I say we'd have all the information outa them we could get within the day.

They made "The Haunted Mansion" ride into a movie starring Eddie Murphy.

Pray they don't for this ride.....  

[Toasty0]

It has been done...The Wizard of Oz. Never mind the movie predates the ride.

I know this goes against the grain of all the jaded puffery around here, but I'm a big fan of that ride and its theme song. Maybe being pollynana-like isn't all bad all the time.

 wow.

Here I am all happy that my three day download is just an hour away from being finished. I read this post , and thank, that's pretty funny. and I need to congrat Scott on his sons birthday. (anyone who has kids should be congradulated for not killing them before age 2) .

so I go away for abit to talk to the nieghbors. that's when the trouble starts. In the back of my mind I start to hear "It's a wolrd of laughter a world of joy". My Neighbors start looking at me funny. I start to picture a Blue bird on there shoulders, and do my best not to Recall uncle Remus.

It doesn't work, and soon they see me running into the house with myhands over my damaged ears. this alarms them a great deal so they call Emergancy services. When the ambulance arrives, they find me with two Icepicks jabbing them into my ears, yelling "It's not a small world Damn you, It's not a small world."

Anyway, I'm better now, But I'm beginning to Hate Scott.

No, I imagine hell is hotter.
One (and only one) nice thing about this in DisneyLand, sit in this ride when it's hot outside...
Close your eyes, pop in the ear buds of your iPod, lean back and dangle your hands in the water:  Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Maybe they should spice it up and have the occasional Jihadist doll run out with an explosive belt and flatten several of the European or American dolls.


Man.. that was just wrong wasn't it?

I liked that movie.

As an answer, I thought there was a movie for that ride.  I was thinking it was Babes in Toyland or something similar...though I could be completely wrong.  I think my father told me that once upon a time...but then, at that age, I remember my father telling me all sorts of things which later turned out that he was just having fun at my expense I believe.

We had a little saying in the Music Dept. at my University.  If you wanted to drive a music theory student insane you need only to do one of two thing:

1.  Sing the first three lines of the "It's a small world" chorus.  Before the fourth and final line, go back to the first line.  Repeat as needed.

2.  Go to any piano nearbye.  Play a Dominant seven chord in first inversion.  Works best if played with multiple doublings in both hands.  Stand up and leave piano without playing the resolution to said chord.

Well at least I have something new in my mind driving Me Insane.

I'll bet that is a very common thought.  I had the same cynical thought in my mind when I was on the ride as well.
