No Need to Get ‘Edgy’ With New Disney Park
- Share via
I was dismayed to read that the new Disney California Adventure theme park is seeking to be an “edgier” type of amusement park [“Disney Reaches for New Audience,” Sept. 20]. I think that is a big mistake. We already have enough “edgy” places to go and “edgy” things to do in this world.
If I want “edgy” real life, I can go to Venice Beach. If I want “edgy” artificial life, I can go see almost any movie or watch almost any TV show. If I want to hear “edgy” music or listen to “edgy” conversation, I just have to tune in to almost any radio station. If I want real “edgy” amusement parks, I can go to Coney Island (or, closer to home, Universal Studios).
Disney, do what you are best at--”fantasy”--and leave the “edginess” to others. God knows we need a little more “fantasy” in this world.
