I rode it about a week or so after it opened, and loved it so much I went back to ride it again.<BR/><BR/>I've always loved the Three Caballeros, and seeing the ride made me rewatch the movie along with Saludos Amigos. This ride is a great homage to the original movies as well as a great tribute to the country of Mexico. I was talking to a CM who said that she had always found the original ride offensive to her culture, but loved the new version.<BR/><BR/>Did you happen to see the hidden Aracuan bird in the scene where Donald is snapping photos? The Imagineers really stayed true to detail on this ride!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12126781526636146412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34647587.post-76515136107119579042007-05-22T10:14:00.000-04:002007-05-22T10:14:00.000-04:00I'm with you as a huge fan of the movie. I think it goes back to being introduced to these characters in the Mickey Mouse Review.<BR/><BR/>I like the rehab, but found the biggest difference to be the noise. El Rio was quiet and then built up in intensity. This starts out brash and noise as soon as you enter the temple- big change from sailing outside. If it built up the noise, I would have loved it.<BR/><BR/>Also I don't care for the screen used in the finale. They have AA's for these characters already sculpted (Mickey Mouse Review). That would have just been a little more of a bonus. I know animation lets you do things that physical effects can not, but this would have been killer.<BR/><BR/>Solid B from me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
