That's not true. I mean, you risk those mascots feeling you up. And Space Moutain falling off the track in the dark. You'd be dead in the face and wouldn't be able to see it.

Another thing: you risk going broke because it's five dollars for a small lemonade. The bastards.

It's not real risk. You pay money to go somewhere without risk, to have an adventure. It says something about us. I think it has more to do with fear than anything else. I also am not saying its a bad thing.

But that sort of adventure is exclusively fun. You pay to have fun at Disney. It is an amusement park afterall, full of amusing things. However, price doesn't come into this because you can go to a community park for free and for the same reasons. It's fun and special and blah. But you still risk dangers. I mean, depending on the area. Shootings, bad weather, sharp edges, etc. And really, it's more about the magic of marketing than it is about fear. People don't go there because they are afraid to go to Six Flags or whatever. They go because a) they can, b) they want to surprise their kids, c) they think it will be good, clean fun, or d) it's Bat's Day. I had more to rant about, but my hand hurts. (Sad face)

Does DisneyWorld have more risk?

Although, theoretically, it's a risk just deciding to go somewhere, even if it's Disneyland or other theme parks. It's a risk to get up in the morning, or to go to sleep for that matter. It's even a risk to type this, as radiation from my monitor might be giving me cancer as I type.

Whoa, hold on there slugger. Disney has had casualties. Just recently, too. Sometime last year, at least. The Big Thunder Mountain ride derailed. A man in the crowd was crushed, others were wounded, blah blah.

Nine guests have been killed on Disneyland attractions since the park's opening in 1955. All the deaths (save the most recent) were the result of guests who apparently ignored safety instructions and/or defeated rides' safety mechanisms

and did you know that if you or your loved one gets hurt of dies at disneyland, they try to make you sign a waiver saying they aren't responsible.

SO for example, I wouldn't have to sign anything if you got killed on the "its a small world" ride? Awesome. heheeh
