    Maybe, but to a 3-year-old, it's the most wonderous thing ever seen. Which I suppose is the point of the ride to begin with, to instill that sense of wonderment in little children.

    So, instead of pretending to be a pirate or a jungle explorer, we get to pretend to be a theme park guest pretending to be a pirate or a jungle explorer?

    At least it's not a Universal Studios MMORPG....
