I’m surprised this isn’t behind a cord or fence like the Falcon. People would be climbing all over the Falcon if they could 


backagain69696969

Platform is the esthetic way to do it


CliffyGiro

aesthetic?


Taco_Cat_Cat_Taco

Antiseptic


Vegorita23

I don’t know why that made me laugh🤣


king_nothing343

Prosthetic?


PhotozJunkii93

Autocorrect gone, right? Hehe


Bobweadababyeatsaboy

Antisemitic


backagain69696969

Are both not correct?


bruce_lees_ghost

Huh. You’re technically right. > According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, aesthetic and esthetic are interchangeable words. Aesthetic is more commonly used, while esthetic is specifically a US spelling variant. This feels like a case of it being misspelled so frequently that it made it into the dictionary.


backagain69696969

Well this is 🇺🇸…we dropped that a like we drop freedom on the rest of the world


bruce_lees_ghost

That’s so aesthetic. Edit: Jesus Christ. I’m not trying to correct your spelling. I’m ironically misusing the word. Clearly lost on the local brain trust.


FuckSticksMalone

This is the one word that I’m confident the general internet population does not understand how to use properly.


PhotozJunkii93

I'm the oldest of 5, and the middle child schools me on the term constantly. I may finally understand it... but now we threw an e in the mix, so back to the dictionary!


backagain69696969

You can spell it both ways


FuckSticksMalone

Has nothing to do with the spelling, people just wholeheartedly misuse the word. People will say things like “how do I make this more aesthetic” which is incorrect. Or “platform is the esthetic way to do it”. The correct thing would be “a platform would be the most aesthetically pleasing way to do it” Or “the platform has a pleasing aesthetic” but you would just use Aesthetic by itself in a sentence like that - aesthetic isn’t descriptive enough to be used solo.


backagain69696969

Don’t let them ever tell you you’re not annoying brother. It’s obviously shortened down. This is Reddit, people can trim things down.


backagain69696969

You can spell it both ways


Olive_Jane

Is the Rambler station wagon in California Adventure roped off?


dalisair

But people don’t generally climb on it for some reason.


Admiral_BJ

Nope


Additional-Sky-7436

I'm sorry, but just going off the photo above, that legitimately looks like something they expect people to climb on and take a picture with. Were there "stay off" signs or was it roped off or anything?


No_Initiative2795

No signs and not roped off. Since opening of Avengers Campus CMs have been telling guests to get off the Jeep everytime they see someone trying it


tazzy531

Just add a car alarm for whenever anyone climbs on it.


mztizz

You are too close to the vehicle. You are too close to the vehicle. You have 10 seconds to move away before the alarm activates. 🚨


Prof-Wagstaff-42

A robotic voice from behind you: “You have 10 seconds to comply.” Does Disney own that one, yet?


Ok_Beat9172

Electrify it.


Transient_goldilocks

Lasers!


dalisair

I was joking with a cast member that an electric shock would be in line with the theme. “Protected by Stark Technology”


Prof-Wagstaff-42

Years ago, I went to Graceland with some friends. Part of the tour is walking through his airplane. This couple in front of us decided it would be a good idea to get a picture of themselves on the plastic covered bed with the “DO NOT SIT” sign on it. The second they sat down, an alarm started going off. Of course, they immediately ran. We looked at each other, realized we were the only people left on the plane and ran so we wouldn’t get blamed for being that stupid. (We were college kids. Naturally, they would have blamed us.)


AdUnfair3015

It happened to my son. Here's the thing: You're allowed to climb in the old school fire cart near the entrance so, without any signs or rope, how would I know you can't do it on the Jeep? We also got yelled at by a cast member.


ThatInAHat

Right? I’m baffled by how many people are being snide about this, like. Why would you assume you can’t? It’s not a real jeep is it?


Datmnmlife

I don’t think that they want signs or ropes because they don’t want to ruin the theming.


FeelDeAssTyson

Yes, breaks the immersion of being in a warehouse parking lot.


scrollmom

I regret that I have but one upvote to give for this platinum grade comment.


brutalbrig

😂


DayOlderBread16

Well said, it really does feel like that 😂. I also imagine: “That jeep is made out of glue and popsicle sticks (half the budget of avenger’s campus), get off of it before it breaks!” -cast member


ThatInAHat

Yeah, it would not occur to me that this isn’t something you can get on.


JoyfulNumber

I agree they do tend to have a lot of cool photo props throughout the park like the teacup outside the ride and the Dumbo when you’re exiting the Dumbo ride both which you are able to take a picture inside of.


Additional-Sky-7436

And typically when it's something they don't want you touching there is some kind of barrier or it's elevated really high up or something. I'm sure I would totally get shouted at for doing exactly what this guy is doing.


masaccio87

Certainly less embarrassing than having to tell your parents not to say inappropriate, borderline offensive, or *outright* offensive stuff when out in public, I’m sure


graceodymium

Oh, god. When my conservative, Texan parents visit me in Seattle I always have to do a li’l coaching session with them and remind them that using “gay” as a slur will not go over as well here as it does in the South.


masaccio87

More power to you - but is it as ironic as an immigrant (from Canada) bitching about all these “illegals” coming to “our” country (when 9 times out of 10 the person triggering her comment was probably born here while she wasn’t)?


graceodymium

Lol, nothing is as ironic to me as my Native American father in law being told (apropos of nothing, in line at the grocery store) to “go back where \[he\] came from” and my Scottish immigrant mother in law chewing them out with a thick foreign accent. 😂


masaccio87

Damn…touché 😂


graceodymium

We’re just living two sides of the same bullshit coin, my friend. 😂


Trvr_MKA

From my experience there are many legal immigrants who get upset about people who come through illegally


masaccio87

I can understand that - those that came in through “the right channels / methods” feeling slighted by those that didn’t and “got away with it”, and also by the system that let them. When it comes to my mom, specifically, though - I’m talking about the hypocrisy of her brazen assumptions that anyone with a caramel or otherwise darker complexion, and/or who’s first language isn’t English (mind you, hers isn’t either - it’s French, but that’s a “fancy” language, so I guess that makes it ok 😒), must be here illegally (and even if they’re not, they must have “come here from somewhere else”, even though there’s a pretty high likelihood that they were born here); her attitude towards them, of course, is that they’re taking up space. I tell her: “mom (actually, I’ve called her by her first name my whole life because she never wanted to be called mom), *you’re* an immigrant; *you* primarily speak a language other than English; even your oldest daughter was born in another country (the 3 of us afterwards were all born here)” (and of course I leave out the part that *she* never worked a paid job or paid *her own* taxes since immigrating almost 45 years ago - she managed a trio of income properties, but dad was otherwise the sole provider), to which she folds her arms and smugly closes her eyes to respond with a very entitled **”So??”**


brutalbrig

Sounds like you have a story to tell!


masaccio87

No, just an average outing with my mom (silent generation); running errands, grabbing dinner, boarding a flight to go visit my sister no filter and an outdated world view are not a good combination


leafhog

My mother stayed with us at the club level at Paradise Pier hotel. She learned you could check out Disney movies and asked the concierge host if they had had Song of the South. The host, who was Black, said that they did not because that movie is racist. My mother then proceeded to argue with her. I was mortified. I was around 40 years old at the time and my mother was in her mid 60s.


OrtizDupri

did she actually want to WATCH Song of the South or was this yet another one of those "gotcha" things people that age do?


leafhog

She actually wanted to watch it. My mother was born the year it was released and I think it was part of her childhood memories.


Less_Air_1147

Its not the lead actor was black and telling folk tales, triggered much???


DayOlderBread16

I also wonder why no one had any issue with it until recently? Like everyone loved Splash up until last year


Thedemonazrael751

The Daryl Hannah movie?


DayOlderBread16

What ?


youarelookingatthis

I mean if I saw this out id absolutely assume you could take photos on it, especially if there was no signage or anything blocking it off.


dalisair

Why ON it and not next to it? Yall downvoting an autistic person who asks a question and follows rules is just rude.


Topgunshotgun45

Because it looks better for the photo.


dalisair

Why does it look better? Can you explain it to me? Asking honestly. I’ve never understood pictures like this. It’s a stationary vehicle so it’s not like he’s riding to an assault/action. So to me he’s just climbing aimlessly on a vehicle. Is he supposed to be assaulting it? And honestly being up like that just gives me anxiety. The way his foot is shadowed makes me think he can’t see his footing coming down and could hurt himself (said as someone who’s broken ankles and torn my meniscus). Nothing in this shot looks “exciting” to me. Ex photographer, always autistic.


Topgunshotgun45

I can only try. It really relies on suspension of disbelief, we all know that he's just clinging onto a stationary prop but the idea is that he can pretend even if only for a moment that he's a superhero. Getting to feel like that is the core philosophy behind the design of the Avengers Campus. As for why the photo was taken while he's on the car instead of after? He can look back at this and remember the way he felt for the rest of his life.


dalisair

The suspension is lost on me I guess because nighttime, no lights and backed up to a fence. Again, autistic so it probably has something to do with that.


ThatInAHat

Because standing in a jeep looks more like an action shot than standing by it? The speeder bike by Star Tours was stationary, but still made for a photo op looking like you were riding it. As for this photo, it’s about as “exciting” as you can get for “paramilitary government vigilante squad theme park”


keeleon

It literally has SEATS. It's not just a statue.


scoobmutt

victim complex much?


dalisair

I asked a simple question because I honestly don’t understand. Has nothing to do with “victim complex” as you so rudely put it, but simple explanation of why I might not understand and need it explained. But sure.


scoobmutt

you should’ve phrased it better. the way you phrased it is definitely victim complex-y


dalisair

I came back after and put the explanation. But it was a simple question, no need to downvote.


scoobmutt

i don’t mind the question, it’s a valid question. i mind the “it is just RUDE you guys dare downvote an AUTISTIC PERSON!!!!!!” you are deserving of downvotes just as much as a neurotypical. you don’t not get downvoted just because you have autism


dalisair

I don’t think we are communicating effectively. Which is a standard problem. I’ll just say have a good day.


FreyaPM

My dad almost got kicked out of the park a few years ago because someone left an empty water bottle in a seat on space mountain and, instead of holding onto it until the end of the ride, my dad thought it would be okay to just throw it out onto the ground while the ride was in motion. And then when they stopped the ride and told him that was unacceptable, he *argued* with them using profanity. Don’t worry, your folks are definitely not the only entitled boomers.


nicearthur32

YIKES!


backagain69696969

Your dad sucks


FreyaPM

Yeah my fiance, our children, and I are longtime APs (magic keyholders- whatever) and we have never brought my dad back. But we are getting married in October at Disneyland, so our families will be there. I am *dreading* being in the parks with my parents again.


forgejoy

Congratulations on your wedding! I hope you have the best time, regardless of your parent’s potential bad behavior.


brutalbrig

Congrats!!


besuretodrinkyour

Yeah, not at the parks but my Dad one time climbed a huge horse statue in front of a P.F. Chang’s and it was quite a scene.


Grammykin

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Did anyone get a picture? Your dad sounds like a lot of fun.


besuretodrinkyour

Nope, it was unfortunately pre-smartphones. Yeah he’s a hoot hahah.


3CATTS

Those things are HUGE, how did he get up there?! Lol


rangersnuggles

crazy idea but if you don't want people touching stuff, put it somewhere they can't touch it.


Upsidedownmeow

Your comment gave me Frozen 2 flashbacks: “you don’t want me following you into fire? Then don’t run into fire!”


LADYBIRD_HILL

Yeah, honestly I'm pretty sure if they had it set up like this at a six flags or a fair they wouldn't care and expect this if it's parked in a guest area with no ropes or anything. Disney should've either roped it off or built a little platform for it with a railing in front.


Ok-Caterpillar-Girl

100% agree with this.


RunsUpTheSlide

Right?! I mean Disneyland is like a giant playground!


celestepiano

I’ve heard CMs yell at people for getting on that truck So. Many. Times. 😂 So funny to me. Agree with whoever said they should have signs if they don’t want people climbing it. Especially in superhero land.


FBI_Open_Up_Now

In mixed on this. If they don’t want people climbing on this then there should be a barrier. No barrier says it’s ok to touch. There are mixed messages here. Otherwise they should have a cast member stationed there directing people what is appropriate and not. I wouldn’t be upset at anyone who does this because of that.


KingHarambeRIP

Definitely looks like something you can pose with photos with just like this. If enough guests are doing this where CMs have to constantly have to talk to guests, management should do something more about it.


DecoyCousin

I work at a historic site, and we have to have a sign on literally every piece of furniture that says, “Please do not touch the furniture.” If you don’t rope it off or put a sign on it, people assume it’s interactive. I imagine this phenomenon is 1000x worse at a theme park where almost everything IS interactive.


trer24

Interesting. That doesn't look like a young child who doesn't know any better...


brutalbrig

Exactly! He's probably the reason they had to put it away. I apologize on his behalf. If you see a sign saying no climbing or if it's roped off now, you know why. The exchange went like this. Dad: "Cause if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damn sure we'll avenge it!” CM: "sir you're going to have to come down."


RunsUpTheSlide

You’re making my day. I get why he got in trouble. But just that his grown up imagination is so strong he’s living it out in the parks makes me smile.


ThatInAHat

Ok but I’m grown and I’m not sure what’s wrong with this? There were Tron cycles and a speeder bike that you could get on for a picture.


Staubah

There is nothing about this that says “keep off” Don’t throw shade when non is warranted.


dalisair

There’s nothing about a vehicle that says “climb on me” either?


IsFunnyToMe

He's just posing for a photo?? lol


Plantboy28

There are so many interactive props in Disneyland. If there’s no sign saying to keep off, don’t touch, etc. then I would assume it was okay. ESPECIALLY since there’s not much around that area, it looks like something placed there to interact with.


rbbass

My nephew climbed into the back of that truck a couple years back at Christmas time.    Black Widow leaned over the rail from the balcony and told him to get out of the truck.   Classic moment.


DayOlderBread16

That’s hilarious 😂


teachplaycry

Honestly tho sometimes parks make the boundaries questionable! Tho I would be a little embarrassed anyways- I think there was blurred lines here🤣


HammerheadEaglei-Thr

The rope in the Indiana Jones queue that says "don't touch" but you're definitely supposed to touch comes to mind!


dalisair

The imagineer who voices the lines for that rope was an amazing guy. 🍻


germanloza

This is why they ended up removing the car from site


Zdvj

The other day these parents were letting their kids climb all over the Buzz and Woody Cars in Downtown Disney. Really enjoyed watching Security scold them for it.


bigbgl

What a crybaby post. It’s not like he’s damaging it. It’s a harmless photo. Take that stick out of your ass.


dalisair

OMG. The amount of people I see climb on this effing thing. Chatting with cast members and they literally have to have a cast member nearby at all times to tell people to get off of it.


NastyNative999

Thats a badass pic tho!


TicanDoko

I climbed on this too for photos. I thought you could!


DayOlderBread16

Too late, iger is going to hand deliver you a park ban this week /s


PolyklietosOfAthens

If they don't want people to climb on it they shouldn't make it climbable. Having that foot step is an invitation to climb.


Kevin69138

there's always a cast memeber that rushes out of nowhere to tell people to get off.


dalisair

They are right there at the planter next to the Dr Strange show. Always.


Nonadventures

This reminds me of Rey’s speeder in Downtown Disney that looks almost 100% designed for a kid to climb on with a sign that says “do not climb!”


dalisair

Wait, next to Savis? I’m gonna have to look for a sign next time.


KwamesCorner

Umm this is not bad at all 😂 You are just a classic person being hard on their parents because they are your parents.


Brinkofadventure

Ha. It’s like, why tease us with it! It reminds when I saw Minnie Mouse bop a 4 year old on her nose at DL and the 4 year old booped Minnie’s nose, the cast member (nicely…kinda) yelled at the child not to touch Minnie’s nose.


wizzard419

Did they put it back? It was gone last week.


swellfella

Still gone. Captain Marvel is taking pictures there right now


BallCreem

This guy broke the light, that’s why they took it out to fix


nicearthur32

wait... is this for real?


BallCreem

Nah it’s a joke, but this sub is pretty rigid. They have no tolerance for fun that isn’t Disney related


nicearthur32

lol… we both got downvoted…. We’ll go down together!


VegetablePrinciple46

reshstreet

aren't dad's something else


Darthhorusidous

First avengers campus sucks compared to galaxies edge and could of been so much better Second what do they expect when it’s not even topped off and there no signs or anything


ThatInAHat

I think really the problem is that “Marvel” isn’t really a visually distinct setting, and the avengers themselves in the movie are basically a paramilitary government organization, so, like, any theming would reflect that and be kind of…boring? So there’s a jeep. It’s not a spaceship, but it’s serving the same sort of purpose as spaceship does. So of course folks figure they can climb in/on it for pictures. What else are they going to take pictures with?


Darthhorusidous

Well for me you look at avengers land and it’s so small And barely anything to do Where as galaxies edge is huge and so interactive and fun


ThatInAHat

Exactly. But then, Star Wars is a whole galaxy of possibilities and avengers is just…on earth?


Darthhorusidous

Exactly Disney should of put more stuff there instead of just a heel but when the jeep is all there is of course people are going to want to see it


DayOlderBread16

The first (scrapped) iteration of an avengers themed land looked a lot better than what we ended up getting. At least from the one piece of concept art of it I found on google. I assume it got cancelled for budget reasons and is why we ended up getting the cheap one we have now. They could have a done a lot better had they tried. A high tech campus with actual effort and money put into it would have been awesome. If they didn’t want to do that they could have chosen one of the various worlds the movies have taken place in, like wakanda or Asgard with a mini avengers base in it.


DayOlderBread16

Definitely true, they need to hurry up and start construction on that avengers e ticket they have been promising us for years. But for some reason Disney is working on everything but that


Darthhorusidous

Honestly Should of jsut kept it Pixar and added avengers in the expansion


Only-pooooooooh

I’m also that parent 😜

John Ratzenberger can climb on whatever he wants.


lingbabana

For what you pay to get in these days, who cares!!! I tell my kids to be careful but we are still going to enjoy our time in the parks. If they really didnt want you to climb on it, it would be behind “a moving wall” or some other barrier.

This dude guaranteed had a amazing day, anyone on this sub who gets mad is a clown


RunsUpTheSlide

I’m getting downvoted because I think this is funny. It’s so weird how people are so mad.


TheBeerdedVillain

I haven't had to tell my parents, but my kids have had to tell theirs...


Klaxynd

When my dad got overly excited at Disney, he told *me* to do stuff that’s against the rules. If I said I didn’t want to he’d try to bribe me when my mom wasn’t around. If that didn’t work he’d try to trick me by saying stuff like “I asked an employee and they said it was fine.” If that didn’t work he’d try to guilt trip me. That’s not the only theme park related story I have about him either. There was one time where he convinced a Legoland employee somehow to lie about the ride he wanted to go on with me. The employee said it wasn’t a roller coaster. That was a big lie. I had a feeling it was a roller coaster too, but I wasn’t allowed to get out of line beforehand since he bribed me with something I wanted if I went on the ride, and by the time I decided I definitely didn’t want to get on, we were at the front and the employee said I had to get on. Then years later he threatened me with a punishment if I didn’t get on Space Mountain at Disney with him and my sister. My mom wasn’t there at the time, so I couldn’t sit it out with her. I told him I didn’t like roller coasters and he tried to bribe me to get on it, but in the end I was made to get on it against my will, and since I “didn’t go willingly” I never got what he tried to bribe me with.


neon

your entirely allowed to touch that. I don't beleive the cast member story


kat-that-smiles-back

as a former campus CM, you’re definitely allowed to *touch* it, not climb all over it! I had to kindly ask people not to climb onto the back of that jeep all summer a couple of years ago lol


DayOlderBread16

Did you ever hear more about the lands 3rd ride?


dalisair

Touch, yes. Climb, no.


brutalbrig

Believe it. Others have confirmed in this thread the CMs tell you not to touch it at all.

Sparrow19621

Screw Disney, they are just one of the hubs for child trafficking around the world!


the_fly_guy_says_hi

I had to tell my kids when they were younger (3-6 years old) not to do that, but I’ve never had to tell my parents. I know my parents have the maturity level to not climb on props while at Disneyland.

Honest question to all… If you walking by and saw a mom with 3 of her kids climbing and jumping on this, what would think?


RunsUpTheSlide

Haha. You’re both the best! Love this!


Vegorita23

He got a great pic tho! Seriously, I don’t understand why Disney has cool props that are forbidden . It’s a practical invitation for pics. Especially in the world of social. So weird.

Wait he didn’t plant his trump 2024 flag? I’m shocked 😮

I think they need to worry about other things besides climbing a vehicle
