Speaking of AT-ATs, when Disney gets around to dropping some Star Wars into its Japan properties, I'd hope that ridable Banthas would be included.

I love that someone took a look at this desperately sad train trip through Greenland's junkyard and thought, "Let's add a disco ball."

I saw a three-year-old walk up to this "ride," yawn, and walk away. True story.

For non-little kids, there are a few spin and spew rides, like the Roto-Shake, Flash Dance...

...and a swinging boat.

And then there are plenty of rides for the whole family to enjoy together, headlined by the obligatory mega-Ferris Wheel. (Which, again, my group did not ride, because, like, enough already. But seriously, I'll bet the views of the mountains from such a height were probably amazing. Next visit to Greenland, I will make the time for this attraction.)

It appeared that Greenland management doesn't like to throw out old wheel cabins. They were repurposed as I'm not quite sure what – diaper changing stations? make-out pods? – at several locations.
