I wouldn't quite say that, there are many on these boards who just recognize the very noticeable difference in quality then as opposed to quality now. Journey Into Imagination is a great example. Putting all opinions of taste aside, just looking at the physical facility, the original version of the pavilion as compared to how it is now, there is just simply more, in almost every respect. Magic Journeys would never be shown all scratched up and out of focus, as HISTA is shown now regularly. ImageWorks is in a smaller space with fewer exhibits, not to mention almost strictly pushing Kodak's product. And as a result of that, there is wasted space on the second floor where it used to be. If you look at any particular show scene on the ride, say the current finale, for example, there was more in that room. More detail, more money spent, etc. Look at Martin's diagrams of the two versions of the ride:
Notice how there are many more details on the first ride? And almost half the track length is missing, with about half as many show scenes along the section that is remaining. So you are literally, physically getting about 1/4 of the ride experience that you did before, once again putting aside all questions of taste and opinion. And that's just looking at the pure value of what you as a theme park goer is getting for your ticket now as opposed to your much cheaper ticket then. When it comes down to it, were both versions presented to me at the same time, as entirely new, having never done them before, I can guarantee you my opinion would be something along the lines of thinking v1.0 is much more fun than v3.0. The same goes for many of the others. Horizons is much more fulfilling than Mission: SPACE, World of Motion is more intellectual, interesting, and plain ol' fun than Test Track, etc.
