Guantanamo at Disneyland?

That's what this website claims and has the pictures of an orange jump-suited inflatable doll inside a fenced-off section of a pseudo-American West landscape to prove it. But there's a warning flag to doubt its authenticity--the website calls the ride "Rocky Mountain Railroad," when everyone knows it's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Might be an honest mistake, but I wouldn't know, being as I haven't visited The Happiest Place on Earth in 12 years--and I grew up about five miles away. Awright, Disneyana nerds: are the photos really at Big Thunder?

    dunno, it *looks* like the hell-land, but i aint been there in years. they are attributing the piece to banksy, and if that's true..well.. i can't think of another, more relevant artist in the world. you see the paris hilton bit? check it out, i love the un-shop lifting angle of this. "shop leaving?"

    Sure is. The top two photos cleary show Big Thunder Mountain in the background.

    And there's no way on the Happiest Place on Earth that thing's made of rock. Ergo it ain't Rocky, thus it ain't a Rocky Mountain Railroad.

    It shall always be Big Thunder, and it shall always be fast enough to be mildly dangerous. In my head, anyway.
