I really forgot how much I love Jack he is the perfect icon with the right amount of sarcasm and fear. I too don't understand the hate for ringmaster Jack the times I've been through Fear Revealed he has been great so I don't know what the problem is. And regarding the photos with Jack they had the same thing in 07 so it's nothing new.
While I didn't enjoy the show this year as much as I have in the past it was still funny and in my eyes still good. And remember that they can't put in a part if they don't have a lookalike actor the only place where that would be canceled out which should have been included is with Avatar.
The post about the ticket with the express pass access, that's from August 7th before HRRR was closed. You pointing out that the ticket was before they updated the texts doesn't matter since when it was posted the ride was still up and running.
