5 Examples of Disney Ride "Sequels"

Originally I was going to take that and make a video posing the question of why we don’t see the attraction equivalent of movie sequels, but then the more I thought about it the more I realized we have. Not direct sequels in the way A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back are sequels, but spiritual successors that carry on the theme and goal of an original ride. Some might be intentional, perhaps some are accidental, but either way, here are five examples of Disney ride sequels.

Let’s jump into the first example, which is Mostano’s House of the Future in Tomorrowland at Disneyland, and the Dream Home exhibit at Innoventions in Disneyland. The House of the Future opened in 1957 and offered guests a look into what home life in the future would look like in 1986. It stood in Disneyland for just over ten years and was closed at the end of 1967. Over 40 years later in 2008, Disney opened the Innoventions Dream Home which featured a number of high tech devices that were built into the various rooms of the house to give us a glimpse of what a technologically cutting edge house would look like.
Next up is Adventure Thru Inner Space in Disneyland and Body Wars in Future World. This 1967 Tomorrowland attraction, also sponsored by Monsanto, was an omnimover ride in which scientists shrank guests down so that they could explore and experience a snowflake all the way down to its subatomic scale. The ride would close 18 years later, and just four years after that it’s spiritual successor, Body Wars, would open at the Wonders of Life Pavilion in Epcot. Similarly, Body Wars was a ride in which scientists shrank the guests down.
This next one is the Carousel of Progress and Horizons. This pair is a spiritual successor of a different sort. While the previous two were a revisiting of the same concept in a new way, Horizons was said to be a continuation of the Carousel of Progress. The Carousel of Progress was designed to show us how human innovation has improved our lives in the past, with its last scene covering the present or near it. Horizons was a similar concept that faced forward and showed us how human innovation could improve our lives well into the future. Some even say that the sequel status is strengthened by the fact that both attractions focus on this theme through the lens of a family dynamic. There’s even a few callback, with Horizons using the theme song of the Carousel, “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.”
This next pair is interesting because while they’re both Disney attractions, the original was never a Disneyland or Disney World attraction. I’m talking about Ford’s Magic Skyway from the 1964 New York World’s Fair and World of Motion at Epcot. Like the Carousel of Progress, Ford’s Magic Skyway was one of the four attractions developed by Disney for the New York World’s Fair. If you want to learn more about the fair, I have a mini-series that covers the history of each of the four attractions. The Magic Skyway was a slow moving ride that predated the modern omnimover system. It took guests back in time to the days of the dinosaur. From there it progressed through history to the introduction of mankind and its various advancements, including harnessing fire and inventing the wheel before jumping ahead to a futuristic city filled with advanced cars. It was the only World’s Fair Attraction to not make it back to a Disney park, but 17 years later it’s spiritual successor, World of Motion, would open in Epcot.
Last but not least is the pair I feel most deserving of the title of spiritual successor, and that’s Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln from Disneyland and The Hall of Presidents in Liberty Square. Beyond their obvious connection of focusing on a theme of the office of the president, there’s a historical connection linking them together. In 1956, years before the creation of Great Moments for the New York World’s Fair, Walt Disney had planned a new area for Main Street called Liberty Street. It would be a representation of colonial America that featured a show called “One Nation Under God” in which guests would get to see robotic recreations of every US president. The technology for such an idea just wasn’t feasible at the time, and so the idea was ultimately shelved.
It was revived nearly a decade later when Walt would create an animatronic show for the World’s Fair. The technology was now possible, but due to time and resource constraints, the idea was cut down from representing every US president, to just one, Abraham Lincoln. Years later imagineers were finally able to follow-up on Great Moments, and in 1971 the Hall of Presidents would open, featuring every US president, just like Walt originally wanted.

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

I would add that I left off re-themes and updates from this list as I felt they weren't sequels as much as updates. I also excluded case where the same ride was built in a second park.

[@Kieran_JSL]

Rob Plays The Matterhorn and Expedition Everest but most people already know that

[@MattMcIrvin]

Updates, though, sometimes are explicitly *titled* like movie sequels. For example, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, or Space Mountain: Mission 2 at Disneyland Paris.

[@sylviaoconnell3622]

Rob Plays I say the carosel of progress the pirate of the Caribbean ride and the haunted mansion ride are connected because of rover.

[@susanmcgaw5327]

So you regarded Figment/Dreamfinder change as a re-theme / update?

[@ericjamesraackf]

Can you run down some of the ride updates in a video if you haven't already by now

[@mattl1458]

Jungle Cruise and Kilimanjaro Safaris is another one, especially since Walt originally wanted live animals in the Jungle Cruise.

[@TPMvids]

You could also say the Flying Saucers ride at Disneyland and Luigi's Flying Tires at DCA could be a "sequel" but we all know how that ended lol great video man!

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

Haha yeah! Great example! I considered doing a similar video that focused on "sequels" for ride mechanics more than theme and that was right up there on the list.

[@themysteriousgravityfalls]

Am I the only one that liked Luigi's flying tires?

[@adamslater7486]

The Mysterious Gravity Falls Person Nope. I was surprised to hear that everyone didn't love it. I thought it was a blast.

[@THEremiXFACTOR]

I was gonna mention this one. Flying Tires was intended as a tribute/homage or 'sequel' to the Flying Saucers. I went on the Luigi ride and it was okay I guess, but the movement was a little sluggish.

[@michaelking761]

I got another a few Peter Pan's Flight and Soarin'. Peter Pan was created as a way to fly through London and to Neverland, however the idea was perfected in Soarin' which took rather than a dark ride approach, a simulator. Another one, Mine Train through Nature's Wonderland and Big Thunder Mountain. Now on top of the Rainbow Ridge theme in Disneyland, these two rides are both mine trains in the southwest. Matterhorn Bobsleds and Expedition Everest. Expedition is a leveled up Matterhorn with a yeti in the Forbidden Mountain, rather than an abominable snowman family like in the Matterhorn. My last is the Disneyland Monorail and the Peoplemover. In Disneyland besides the stop for the Disneyland hotel, the Monorail was not a transportation system, but rather an attraction of transportation of the future. The Peoplemover was this idea but centered around travel through Tomorrowland with newer magnet technology while the Monorail was traditional train technology.

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

All great examples!

[@ricknochefort4941]

What about the Matterhorn and expedition Everest (just a thought)

[@techno9991]

Anthony Batista i agree

[@anniepowers5208]

True

[@Kodachrome40]

Soarin' Over California is like a sequel to "Circlevision America the Beautiful." Epcot's Mexico pavilion ride "El Rio de Tiempo" was the sequel to Magic Kingdom's "If You Had Wings."

[@bobpuppet]

What about Rocket to the Moon evolving into Flight to the Moon then Mission to Mars. Then years later after that closed Disney opens Mission Space at Epcot .

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

That's a great one!

[@Jicholson]

I can't believe you didn't mention Disneyland Paris' Space Mountain: Mission 2. It literally has 2 in the name

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

I decided for this list to opt out of examples where it's just an update/re-theme of the currently existing ride mechanic (similarly why I left out instances like Rocket to the Moon and Mission to Mars). I had this whole list of the rules I set for myself at the start of the video, but I felt it ended up dragging the video needlessly so I ended up cutting it.

[@transtremm]

The original ride at Epcot Mexico was the sequel to, “If You Had Wings.”

[@themysteriousgravityfalls]

Hey Rob! I have a question: When and why was the castle at Disneyland painted? It used to be just grey. Thanks!

[@Techno-Universal]

Another funny fact is that Star Tours that replaced Adventure Through Inner Space uses the exact same ride vehicles/simulators as Body Wars and when Body Wars closed they eventually removed the simulators and are currently using the old simulators as a source of spare parts for Star Tours! :)

[@BlueGuy98]

I’m surprised that you didn’t include the Mine Train Through Nature’s Wonderland and Big Thunder Mountain. Not only did Thunder Mountain replace the Mine Train, but both have a similar setting. There was even a Big Thunder area in the original Mine Train ride

[@tedioustotoro4885]

Tower of Terror in Tokyo DisneySea and Mystic Manor in Hong Kong DisneyLand are sequels to the Adventurer's Club at Pleasure Island.

[@cullen6540]

I always love watching your videos because they teach so much about disney

[@derekcullen3965]

Loved this video! This type of content is what I subbed for. Keep up the amazing work!

[@patrickheraty807]

I could binge watch ur vids until I finished every vid I love ur videos so much I hope this channel blows up because u deserve it

[@MK1MonsterOck1989]

You Forgot About Alien Encounter There's Another Alien Encounter in Disney Quest Called "INVASION!"

[@leahlurie4315]

Well I guess when they changed up Spaceship Earth to include the "choosing your future" thing on the screens, that took almost directly from Horizons, so maybe that counts?

[@memethyst]

horizons being a spiritual successor to carousel of progress is my favorite one on this list.

[@KassMcCormack]

Couldn't you also say that Spaceship Earth is a sequel to the Ford attraction from the Worlds Fair? They both take people back through time to show them how life was like and ends the ride showing us what the future could possibly look like.

[@jorgeaugusto1867]

3:32 - where else can we show their brand? They're paying you know? - I don't know, put it on Walt's back Hahahahah

[@spaceshiphorizon]

In addition to the things you mentioned about CoP and Horizons, the characters you see in horizons is supposed to be the same family, with the kids in CoP being the parents in Horizons.

[@FalconedFilms]

I would like to argue that Test Track is also a spiritual successor to world of motion. Even though it's not about all kinds of vehicles, Test Track at least keeps the same theme of exploring what vehicles are capable of. At least with the new update it offers the chance for guests to be creative since it offers less in the way of education.

[@novaluna2829]

Space mountain mission 2 ???? Its so obvious :0

[@RyanShyffer]

A couple of others I thought of: Mission to Mars -> Mission: Space Matterhorn -> Expedition Everest These are more of a stretch: Disneyland Hotel Fantasy Waters - World of Color Rainbow Caverns Mine Train -> Thunder Mountain

[@SirBlackReeds]

I wish Body Wars was also an omnimover ride. It might have been more fondly remembered if it was. One pair that didn't make this list is Tales of the Okefenokee and Splash Mountain.

[@MojitoMouse]

Don't forget about the Space Mountains! :D The one in the Paris park is litterally called "Space Mountain: Mission II" xD

[@Kieran_JSL]

Fun fact did you know Disney is thinking about not putting a animatronic of Trump in the hall of presidents but I don't have a problem with it

[@Valentine-kx7fk]

Kieran JSL thank fucking god.

[@jacqueline7330]

Actually the were thinking that a long time ago but i know everybody hates him but it would be weird to have every president but one imagine you being the one president left out. I understand why people think he shouldn't but i just think it would be weird.

[@XanderLovecraft]

I've actually been wondering that since the bastard was elected. They couldn't possibly put that monster in with the rest of them.

[@TweetsieRailroader]

4:29 Rob, the Primeval World on the Disneyland Railroad is the same one from Ford's Magic Skyway.

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

Yup! Though it's just set pieces so I think it's still fair to say the ride itself never made it to the parks. More in that case that a few props made it into another attraction.

[@jm745]

Wasn’t Ellen’s Energy Adventure dino segment the same as in Disneyland and Magic Skyway?

[@seanxodonnell]

Haven’t seen it vids since August. My vacation was great!

[@clayfellows4283]

Another ride sequel I think would be 20,000 leagues under the sea in WDW and Nemos Under Sea Adventure in Disney Land.

[@magicskyway]

20kL was basically a copy of original Disneyland subs. The Nemo theme was added in the aughts, but the General Dynamics-made submarines have been at Disneyland since 1959.

[@phillipwalker916]

"Invasion! An ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter" in DisneyQuest was a semi-continuation of Magic Kingdom's "ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter".

[@thewalruswasdave]

Star Tours: The Adventure Continues is a pretty sequel-y ride. Also, counts more as a layover than a sequel but the story of Monsters After Dark takes place directly after Mission: Breakout.

[@kirbysuperstaruhh3769]

The adventure continues is a ride UPDATE so it wouldn't count anyways. However, some people do associate Galaxy's edge with Star tours.

[@Deadm3ow]

Great video as always.as a cast member I just love to watch these videos

[@willmurphy3525]

Thanks for another great video Rob.

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

Thanks!

[@legend_oflouis9813]

That remind me when the hell is the Hall of presidents opening again. It’s been long enough I missed the attraction on my last trip hope it’s running by next summer.

[@monstermonstre3851]

In that spirit, all of Epcot's Future World is a sequel to Tomorrowland, all of Disney's Animal Kingdom is a sequel to Adventureland, and all of Epcot's World show case is a sequel to "it's a small world."

[@brycebitetti1402]

Wait, isn't Guardians of the Galaxy Monsters After Dark literally a sequel to Mission Breakout?

[@ThoosieJP]

He said he purposably left out updates and changes

[@goodjobeli]

I was so confused for a second but no, it's just a retheme for Halloween

[@Bruhhh-yk3zv]

👍 great video rob

[@samhass1879]

Awesome video!

[@KyFriedPlatypus]

In a way, I consider the infamous Superstar Limo as a sequel to Great Movie Ride... if it were produced with the same budget as a direct-to-video movie.

[@Rebel_Friend]

Not sure if this counts, but Star Tours: The Adventures Continues is kind of a sequel to the original Star Tours. There was the use of the same vehicle, the Easter egg of REX in the line que, and there never being a scene where you travel to the Death Star (the first one at least).

[@derekcurrent6353]

Maybe the Soundstation booths at Studios and Alien Encounter/Stitch’s Great Escape with 3D sound?

[@FalconedFilms]

It seems to me that Ford's Magic Skyway seems more like a predecessor to Spaceship Earth. However that focuses more on communication.

[@Ronnie06spartan]

Can't wait for Alien Encounter 2: The Revenge! That'd be a cool ride sequel

[@TheLostfoundation]

Would this mean that mission to mars or space (i forgot which one it is) in epcot is technically a prequel to horizons?

[@fallingleavesag7280]

My automatic thought: Astro Orbiter Dinosaur spinner ride @ Animal Kingdom Aladdin’s flying carpets The second dumbo They all have one thing in common but I can’t think of what... 🤔

[@EverydayMusician]

I would add Space Mountain to the list. The SM in Disneyland Paris is an actual sequel to the original.

[@techno9991]

only one correction...the Ford Magic Skyway was more of a peoplemover predecessor than an omnimover predecessor...Disney even offered Ford to sponsor the DL peoplemover but they declined

[@dontdriveat88]

Journey into Imagination, into Your Imagination, and with Figment. All three.

[@Holobrine]

Matterhorn Bobsleds -> Expedition Everest Star Tours -> Galaxy's Edge Rocket to the Moon -> Mission: Space

[@SirBlackReeds]

Not Galaxy's Edge, Smuggler's Run. After all, SR is basically Star Tours on steroids.

[@SaturnCanuck]

Well done.

[@bunnyfaceface]

Awesome!!!!!

[@DubstepDinosaurs]

Pretty much covers it. Some of the parks themselves are like sequels. Paris Disneyland for example is like a sequel of US designed parks.

[@jm745]

Many of the dinosaur scenes from Ford's ride moved to Disneyland's Railroad and then were copied to Epcot's Universe of Energy ride.

[@justingreenman1690]

Wouldn’t you think that spaceship earth would be more of a sequel to world of motion

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

No, mainly because the Magic Skyway and World of Motion were both themed on the topic of the history of transportation. Spaceship Earth on the other hand is an attraction on the history of communication.

[@lohphat]

Did the caveman concept animatronics from the Ford pavilion make it into Spaceship Earth?

[@maggiecarter2233]

I want to ride horizons 😭

[@themysteriousgravityfalls]

Yeah too bad it's dead now. I want to ride the skyway through the Matterhorn I miss doing that.

[@Jimmy-cu7jf]

Monsters After Dark begins right after Mission Breakout, so they’re kinda sequels

[@BBarker34]

How about the Original Country Bear Jamboree, and the Country Bear Christmas Special and Vacation Hoedown?

[@kirbysuperstaruhh3769]

Overlays and updates do not count.

[@Moonsunsky1]

Space mountain in Disney France is a True sequel of space Mountain in the Magic Kingdom in Florida

[@nimblebubble6407]

I want to get an authentic Brazo 229 vehicle as a home theater.

[@sideeswipe]

Isn't autopia and test track and expedition Everest and Matterhorn technically spiritual successor

[@raphaelmarquez9650]

Would Mystic Manor count as a spiritual "sequel" for the Haunted Mansion?

[@Dcsk8kid89]

If the hall of presidents ever reopens that is lmao

[@ricknochefort4941]

3 cabareros and it’s s small world?

[@sewthernbelle]

Anybody just think it was funny that Walt had a GE patch on the back of his suit?

[@TheMaddogMiner]

I think the ford ride sounds exactly like spaceship earth

[@SkipperBobsBreakDowns]

"World" Of Motion? For years I thought it was "Wheels" Of Motion. How long has it been?

[@stunsisacul]

Would you consider The Tommowland Speedway/Grand Prix a sequel to Autopia ?

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

Perhaps! I had considered that but ultimately left out instances where it was just a similar ride mechanic being setup in a new location.

[@stunsisacul]

Rob Plays the original trackless cars would have been chaos at Disney World. I’ve always loved how Autopia was themed with the exploration of the new (at the time) U.S. highway system but when The Grand Prix was opened GP racing was at its height in America and the two rides reflect that.

[@walkmanmonkey79]

No monsters after dark?

[@nicolascalle6926]

Hey rob

[@dannyisagaymer6191]

Space Mountain: Mission 2 is even named like a sequel...:')

[@TweetsieRailroader]

What about Star Tours? The original Star Tours has a literal sequel, or rather prequel, at both Disneyland and Hollywood Studios.

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

I left out instances where Disney simply put an update to an existing ride since I didn't feel that updates really matched the spirit of what a film sequel is in comparison. I wanted to focus on instances where it was specifically a new attraction somewhere else that carried on the spirit/theme of the first.

[@ericbiscuit2248]

World of Motion and Horizons were the best Disney attractions ever.

[@SignalLightProductions]

Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland and Big Thunder Mountain

[@dianacastillo184]

You missed Disneys Dinosaur Countdown to Extinction...

[@GravemindZombie]

Um rob, a new hopes not a sequel, that was the original starwars

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

GravemindZombie I meant that Empire is a direct sequel to A New Hope. Poor wording on my part.

[@krisglazewski7467]

Space mountain and Matterhorn

[@mclark2288]

Or you could talk about which attractions are copies: Body Wars is a copy of Star Tours, Dinosaur a copy of Indiana Jones, Magic Carpets of Aladdin and Triceratops Spin copies of Dumbo

[@srayj]

Michelle Clark but those are copies of ride technology whereas Rob is focusing on the story being told. If we were to talk about sequels through the ride style, then almost all Fantasyland dark rides would be sequels of each other, Pirates and Small World would be, Radiator Springs Racers would be a sequel to Test Track...etc. Even though the same technology is being utilized, the stories of the attractions aren’t connected, so they don’t count as sequels based on the rules Rob set for himself.

[@srayj]

Sorry, I apologize. I re-read your comment and you said they’re copies, not sequels. My apologies again.

[@BruceWayne-fe4ev]

What about Alien Encounter and... sigh... Stitch...

[@masonveselsky304]

So this is a bit of a random question but I thought you'd be able to answer this question very well. So since Bob Iger is rumored to step down soon and even further rumored to be running for president in 2020 how do you think he would be as president based off his career as Disney's CEO? Not trying to evoke anything political just genuinely curious. As always thank you for the great content!

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

To avoid sparking anything, I'd probably avoid this as a video. However I'm totally willing to answer here: Personally speaking, I don't want to see someone who is primarily a businessman running this country, regardless of what side of the aisle they're on. A CEO's job is to maximize a business' revenues and profits, and that takes a very different mindset than what's required to run a nation and govern it's people in a fair and morally sound way. If he wanted to get into the world of politics by running for office somewhere smaller first, then build up the experience and mindset to eventually run for President that'd be one thing, but I think going straight from over a decade as a CEO to a US President is a recipe for disaster.

[@utrocks97]

Body wars and star tours were literally the same thing lol

[@rock6336]

Wait I have one dumbo and magic carpets

[@drewdaddyproductions]

Rob, will imagineering for dummies ever return?

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

In video form, likely not. However we still do it as a segment every so often on our Disney podcast, The Tomorrowland Transit Authorities! (ttapodcast.com)

[@drewdaddyproductions]

Rob Plays thanks I was unaware you even had a podcast

[@PaxxMontana]

Tbh under new management was my fav version. Which I guess is a successor. Hate me if you will for that. And I am sure some of y’all will lol.

[@ThatOneDudeWhoPostsStuff]

"Disney rides aren't movies" unless you're in 2017, where rides are being shut down to be turned into something that ties into their movies, in which year rides are movies.

[@JohnnieHoles]

This video gave me a case of the farts! The farts I tell you!!!!

[@sonic2.o121]

How as are you

[@kingposeidon4535]

Why does no one ever talk about Winnie the Pooh? Those rides are direct sequels. The one in Disneyland is Chapter 1, the one in Disney World is Chapter 2, and the one in Hong Kong Chapter 3.

[@kirbysuperstaruhh3769]

These would count as ride updates so sadly it doesnt count. Same goes with Space mountain and DL paris's Space mountain: Mission 2

[@FireBlastStudios]

Why stop at Ride sequels? Going by the rules established in this video, Disney has made sequels to entire lands. Future World at Epcot was basically a sequel to Tomorrowland, and the entire Animal Kingdom park is a sequel to Adventureland. Which ulimately makes the "IPs will just make Epcot Magic Kingdom 2.0" argument pointless, because that's basically what it was already.

[@choward5823]

But in 1980, that didn't happen

[@bdchiaccio]

Indiana Jones and Dinosaur

[@cardboardbelt]

Just a minor bit of a wording error here. You refer to "A New Hope" and "The Empire Strikes Back" as sequels. A more accurate way to word this would be that The Empire Strikes Back was a sequel to the movie that is now referred to as A New Hope (That title did not exist when the first Star Wars movie was released). The existence of so-called "prequels" does not make the first Star Wars movie into a sequel. But of course I'm muddying the waters here, and that's part of the point. It would have been far less confusing to choose something not Star Wars related as your example. A phrasing such as: "...not direct sequels in the way that Rocky II was a sequel to Rocky..." would have been both accurate and less confusing. If you wanted to keep it in the Disney family you could have easily used the upcoming Frozen sequel as an example or the already existing Cars 2 & Cars 3. I know this is me being picky, but I also know you want all of your videos to be as good as they can be. Keep doing your great work! It was a really interesting video with a lot of wonderful footage!

[@MidwaytoMainStreet]

Yeah poor wording on my part. I meant in the sense that Empire is a direct sequel of A New Hope.

[@stephenreed7283]

#HorizonsV2ToReplaceMissionSpace

[@farjadmohammadi3752]

the hall of presidents contains every president... except trump, why? because of his hair, it cant be made!

[@bekkahboodles]

Oh god is trump gonna end up in the hall of presidents?

[@John-nt3dk]

Wonders of life? More like BLUNDERS or life

[@frisk4520]

John Minter b-but the Wondors of Life was fun

[@Valentine-kx7fk]

I'm not looking forward to Trump's addition to the hall of presidents... maybe if they add him they can just make him say "fake news" and "China" a few times and then sit down...

[@sameerahnaseef7975]

Alexander The Great I was just thinking almost the same thing

[@ricknochefort4941]

That would be legendary

[@calliemyersbuchanan6458]

I'm not either but I do think he should most definitely be a part of the show! He is after all our president. It's what he's gonna say that scares me. If he speaks how he does in real life, it won't be anything inspiring and positive, but if they write him a script that's more proper and diplomatic it won't be an accurate representation of the president for future generations to look back on.....I'm honestly torn.

[@sylviaoconnell3622]

Callie Myers they could probably find some inspirational quote or something. Or he could just have him saying one of his angry tweets and then Abe Lincoln grabs a hair drier and knocks of trumps wig

[@Valentine-kx7fk]

callanglas I mean sure, but I'm hoping they keep his speech short because most of his speeches are just... not memorable, not exciting, and not good, politically and structurally. It's kind of like having Andrew Jackson have a speech when people know he was a president who literally aided in the slaughter of thousands of indigenous people. He's extremely culturally insensitive, morally.. questionable, and it's in the back of everybody's mind. I know there's a lot of people who blindly support him without regards to what he's done in terms of aiding in racism, white supremacy, aversion towards LGBT people, and the destruction of the environment, but I just don't see him having some grand speech because he's just... not that person. Like I said, his speeches aren't good. So I'm just hoping they give him something short and to the point and be done.

[@nicolascalle6926]

First like
