Burger Invasion

What I Didn't Like
Having gotten around the park a bit more I've also found there a few more things I don't like. At the top (bottom) of the list is McDonald's. I've never been one to complain about McDonald's coming inside the theme parks. I think the fry cart in Disneyland's Frontierland is fine. I think having Burger Invasion sponsored by McDonald's in Paradise Pier is fine. I even think the Golden Arches just below the "Burger Invasion" is fine. What bothers me is the standard McDonald's menu right above the counter - that gave me a jolt. If the menu had McDonald's item but was themed to Burger Invasion's style, that would've been fine. If this were an indoor restaurant and the menu wasn't visible from the outside, that would've been fine. But seeing it while strolling through Paradise Pier was a jolt.

I didn't like Superstar Limo. I didn't think it was horrible, but it sure was weird and not my cup of tea. It's probably the strangest Disney attraction I've ever been on. The look of Joan Rivers in the queue video and the agent on your vehicle's TV screen is just plain ugly. The animatronic actors throughout the ride are pretty funny looking too, especially Whoopi Goldberg. And the other visuals are bizarre. I have a feeling this one might turn out to be kind of a cult classic, but it's definitely not a Doobie classic.

In Closing
That should just about do it for the attractions. There are few that I won't be riding anytime soon for one reason or another. The only ones left that I will be riding are King Triton's Carousel and (assuming I have enough courage when I'm there as I do right now) the Sun Wheel. I'll report on them one way or another after I do.
