When people review this ride, they forget where it was originally built. Back in 1964, It’s A Small World was at the World’s Fair in New York. Its original purpose was to show people from around the world that we are all really neighbors. In today’s high-tech thrill world people forget that rides don’t always have to reach high speeds and be intense for them to be cherished for ages. Although the ride was not very exciting, if you ride it you will hopefully realize the ride’s original intent and realize why Walt Disney chose to place it in Fantasyland. He hoped that young children would ride it so that in the future they would realize that hurting someone is like hurting your neighbor. In today’s world of fear and terrorism, I wish more people would ride It’s A Small World, think about what the ride is trying to say, and not complain about its excitement level. I wish that everybody would get a chance to really understand It’s A Small World.
