Be it at Disneyland, Florida's Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, or Disneyland Paris, the iconic buttes call to guests, daring them to climb aboard the trains headed for adventure. Big Thunder Mountain is an Imagineering masterpiece of old, in the style of the original masters of the craft such as Tony Baxter and Marc Davis before him. This Railroad certainly may be the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness, but the graphic above is also used to tell Disney Vacation Club Members the status of their special invites for the opening of Epcot's new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. These private parties are not just money makers. They are also another move towards exclusivity and class divisions in the Disney theme parks. The Company may scream for inclusivity, but the other hand collecting all the cash knows it is just a marketing gimmick.
