Here’s something to chew on the next time you haul the offspring (or friend’s offspring, or your own ass) down Anaheim-way to Mouse Town: The Disneyland Death Tour. A long and well written run down of all the deaths that have occured over years at the park that Walt built, the detailed entries include a couple of homicides that I hadn’t heard of before (it’s interesting to see that even Disneyland didn’t survive the Colors-era gang explsion unscathed). It’s not entirely clear to me who he is (“Mel?”), but the author has a witty and acerbic take on the folly of humans who think they can best monorails and people movers. It’s nice to see somebody casting as critical an eye on seemingly-retarded parkgoers as they do on Disney.
