One of the weirdest things we've ever seen in a videogame can be found in Disneyland Adventures.
I have no idea who this man is. There are only a few characters in the game that aren’t Disney characters, and he is not one of them. He’s just some guy with a mustache who shares a teacup with me, sitting way too close and without completely blinking, and taking upIt doesn’t matter how many times I get off the teacups and get back on. He ‘s always there. I can walk around the park, find some dishware for Sleeping Beauty, and then ride the cups again. HE’S THERE.
The best case scenario is the sixtysomething couple my wife and I shared a table with at Epcot’s Biergarten a few years ago, who apparently made millions in Silicon Valley in the ‘80s, and would interrupt us within seconds whenever we tried to get a few words in. Sure, the constant one-sided chatter made it hard to enjoy the food and oom-pah music, but at least they didn’t have four kids running about the table and three strollers clogging up the walkway.
This man’s eternal presence, and what it signifies, also reinforces how difficult it’ll be for these parks to reopen during the pandemic. Shanghai Disneyland has already reopened with significantly reduced capacity, and although all other parks are still closed and don’t have timelines for a return, it’s expected the measures seen in China will be replicated elsewhere.
I’m not sure if the mustache man always appears in that teacup for everybody who plays this game. I know he does for me. Perhaps he’s my own personal poltergeist, vengefully following me throughout the park. If he is a constant for all players, then it’s either one of the most baffling decisions I’ve ever seen in a videogame, or a clever and surprising critique of how theme parks eliminate the concept of personal space.
