Re: [DML] Disappointing DMC Representation

["Steve" <steve@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I was there about a week ago (Orlando) and they have just about phased out
the gift shop. Very little BTTF items. Mostly Nascar etc. Ride attendance
looked about par with the other rides, I waited just as long for BTTF as I
did for The Mummy. The car is an absolute disgrace. It not only looks bad
for the DeLorean but gives their park and unkempt look. The train could use
a bit of TLC too.
