Families visiting Disneyland on their holiday this week saw a life-size Guantanamo bay inmate standing inside the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride at Disneyland in Anaheim California.
The sculpture, consisting of an inflatable doll dressed in an orange jumpsuit with its hands and feet manacled remained in place for one and a half hours before Disneyland's security staff shut down the ride and removed it amid fears over public safety.

Interesting. Must have missed that one on the park map.
Exactly, that’s what the whole point was. To try to inform people about what has happened there. Hoping that who ever saw that figure that day could try to stop it. If it is still happening.
Something to add, though not 100% on the same lines but, when I was in Germany I passed near Darmstadt (sp?) and I was able to tune in the military radio station (Music worth fighting for), and about every 15 mins they would run a, I guess the equivlent of a public service announcemnt saying that any serviceman/US Citizen caught visiting cuba (you can fly from germany to cuba), but anyone caught going to cuba without a visa will (not may) be punished with a $10,000 fine, one year in jail and a court marshall/dishonorable discharge. Yet there is a US military base there.
Just found that odd.
