That is just horrifying.
I agree with nytimez--not everything needs a screen in front of it. Don't we all spend enough time in our normal lives staring at cell phones, computers, tvs, etc.? Having screens in the ride vehicle, to me, takes away from the experience of enjoying the ride TOGETHER with your party. It forces everyone into that text-message mode of ignoring each other in favor of a screen. Plus, I'd rather see the three-dimensional mechanical IASW dolls than a bunch of screens. I'm picturing the Mexico boat ride at Epcot now that they've added Donald and co. *shudder* (Even though that one was dated, it was so much better before!)
And, really, e-cards? That was a big deal in, what, 1997?
