    How about "Stitch's Dance Party" in Tomorrowland? Wasn't that closed almost as soon as it opened?

    the Bouncing Spot in the Pooh interactive queue (now the Pooh and Tigger M&G location) closed very fast because they were afraid kids were getting hurt as they bounced and hurled themselves at each other. What a great opportunity for law suits. Duh! How that idea ever got by risk management I'll never know.

    This is a good suggestion, hope they use it on the Podcast.

    Wait til Next GEN officially comes on line.. That will be one expensive flop (now approaching 2 billion, not 1 billion like originally stated)...

    But for right now, Stitch's Dance party is a huge flop...

    I'd have to go with the cake castle. That was about the most ridiculous looking thing I've ever seen(at least as far as something that large goes).
