New features for LaughingPlace.com. We want to hear from you!

"Now you will deal with me, and all the power of my imagination!"

We Want To Hear From You!
What's your favorite attraction? Some of personal favorites are Haunted Mansion, Matterhorn, Tower of Terror and MuppetVision 3D. Lots of Disney websites including listings of the attractions at the Disney theme parks along with pictures, sounds, video and lots more really cool stuff. Often the webmaster will give their opinion of the attraction and maybe rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 or something like that. But what if the webmaster is a teenager and you're a grandma. Or they prefer the scenic rides while you want to be thrilled?

With that in mind we'd like to introduce you to our new Attraction Guides. In them we list all the attractions, restaurants and shops at each of the United States Disney theme parks. We describe them, rate them and show you a few pictures (over 450 in all). We also have lists of links tied to the attractions that take you to some of the best pages and sites on the web.

But the best part is we give you a chance to voice your opinion. You can rate each attraction on a scale of 1 to 4 and enter a comment that will be displayed whenever anyone looks up that attraction. So if you think Pinocchio's Daring Journey deserves more than a 2 or there's no way Tapestry of Nations deserves a 4, click on over and give your opinions.
