Carnesky's Ghost Train is a dark ride with live actors.

An annoying little bumper car game that is way counter-intuitive. You use the arrow keys to steer and go back and forth. As soon as I get pointed the wrong way, I have no idea how to steer. Oh well.

For all those fans of subversive Disney rumors - Laughing Mouse has been updated.

Maybe this one will stop all those ding-dong rumors about the Tiki Room closing forever.

This update on the Tigger case from MousePlanet:

Disney tries to keep Tigger outfit from trial

Michael Chartrand will go on trial today on charges that he molested a 13-year-old girl in February while he was portraying Tigger at Mickey's Toontown Fair in the Magic Kingdom. The defense plans to use a Tigger costume to show the jury the limited visibility and sense of touch in the mitts in an attempt to show that there was no way that Chartrand could have known if he was fondling the girl.

Disney has asked that the costume be altered before being used, by removing the ears and dyeing the suit white or black. While Disney would not comment on the specific changes requested, spokeswoman Jacquee Polak said, “Our hope is that the use of our costume will be handled with appropriate sensitivity so as to preserve the dreams and magic for our younger guests as much as possible.”

Chartrand's lawyer, Jeffrey S. Kaufman Jr., who has also portrayed Tigger at Disney, has opposed altering the costume, as it might make his client appear freakish or demonic.

So let me get this straight. Disney wants to alter an exhibit presented as evidence in a molestation case?
