He'd be pleased to see that, modulo a few updates for changing times (comic strips aren't much of a thing these days), it's still working pretty much exactly as intended.

- treespace8 4y agoYes, it all leads back to the park. The only problem now, is the park isn't big enough! Imagine the amount of money a third park in America would make. (And cost)
- nradov 4y agoYes I'm surprised that Disney hasn't built a third park somewhere in Texas yet. It seems like they're leaving money on the table. I understand they want to keep the parks somewhat special and aspirational, but the market has grown a lot. There's a huge group of customers in Mexico who would love to visit.
