Space Mountain has new cars.<\/p>\n
The old cars had a sort of embedded pistol-grip handle that enabled you to brace yourself by both pushing and pulling.<\/p>\n
The new cars have a sort of armchair grip, padded and fairly comfortable if you’re just sitting there.<\/p>\n
“Just sitting there”, however, isn’t what Space Mountain is for. It’s for whipping you around sharp turns, quick rises, and steep drops.<\/p>\n
Without the ability to brace properly, I absorbed all that in the spinal erectors (or “middle back” as it’s familiarly known).<\/p>\n
Luckily my back is strong, so I was just sore for a day or so.<\/p>\n
On the plus side, the addition of the Jack Sparrow character to “Pirates of the Caribbean” was done with a nice, gentle touch. <\/p>\n
He’s been inserted into scenes that were a little embarrassingly non-PC anyway, and in such a way as to not overwhelm or even significantly alter the feel of the original show. <\/p>\n
The character is also very animated, and very lifelike.<\/p>\n
Contrary to my fears, I think Disney handled this quite well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
