I have to say, after visiting DW this morning and seeing the new ABCkids area, I'm fairly impressed with the effort and money spent on this area of the park. It's bright and colourful and cheery. I also love the creative aspects like the giant iceblocks, the paintbrushes/paint tube area, the button seats etc.... the theming is great My kids loved exploring all the new aspects of this area, along with all the nice licks of paint on everything else One thing I do feel sorry for though, and that's the ride attendants of the new Hoot 'n' Hop ride. It has its own somewhat annoying theme song which plays whilst the ride is in operation, with Hoot & Hootabelle singing. I can imagine many of them will be hearing it repeating in their head as they try to sleep at night, after hearing it play over and over all day at work LOL. Oi! Not all chicks take 2 hours to get ready to go out. It only takes me like 15 minutes... I don't bother with makeup and fashion and all that lol. I just chuck on a pair of pants and a shirt, give my hair a quick brush, chuck on some shoes and off I go
