Hippo Guns Return To Disneyland
It's been around on websites for a little while now, but the LA Times finally has a story for the masses to read.
Pressler and Harris had the guns removed (for being un-PC) a while ago and when Disneyland got new leadership everone hoped that would change. Apparently, Michael Eisner never was told of the gun's removal and on his first trip to Disneyland in years was told they were removed after he said how much fun it was to fire them off.
I can't say for sure who put the guns back. I imagine Ouimet did it with approval from Eisner.
The rest of the article is very blunt about the problems Disneyland had under Pressler/Harris (and some more recent). This is the first general public mention of that, so hope the park will be fixing more to avoid the bad press.
