This might not be a good idea, but it’s certainly an original not-good idea. Lost fans, drunk with power after having (possibly) forced Barack Obama to reschedule the State of the Union address, are trying to convince the Disney Corporation to open a Lost-themed ride at one of its amusement parks. There’s a certain amount of logic in this. King Rodent is the corporate master of the Lost universe, and Lord knows they have no shortage of dated exhibits that could be upgraded or replaced entirely. (Tom Sawyer’s Island is an almost painfully obvious candidate that many fans have mentioned.) Unfortunately, most experiences on the Lost island were either dangerous and unpleasant–like the plane crash that got them there–or highly personal. Does anyone really want to wait ninety minutes to make the rounds of the Dharma Stations in some “It’s a Small, Small World” debasement, packed in with a bunch of other surly tourists who kind of wish they’d gone to Space Mountain instead?
Disney says this ain’t gonna happen. Still, it might be morbidly interesting to see what they come up with if they’re forced into it, so go ahead and sign the petition if you’re inclined to do so. It’ll all be fun and games until someone gets mauled by a polar bear.
