An open letter to Disney World, Orlando, said by Ariana Grande with much love and respect:

I hope this finds you well.  My name is Ariana Grande.

I’ve been a frequent visitor and a great admirer of your park since I can remember.  Some of my fondest adult professional memories have been collaborating on my cover of Alan Menken and David Zippel’s tremendous hit Hero to Zero and performing in front of Cinderella’s Castle along a magnificent choir that you so graciously provided.

Further, some of my oldest and warmest personal memories include spotting hidden Mickey’s across the parks, driving up from Boca on the weekends, counting the purple signs, knowing we were nearing your parks...

And, alas…riding the absolute masterpiece that is the “Twilight Zone Tower of Terror” for the first time once I was finally tall enough.  Perhaps this message comes prematurely, but I would be remiss if I did not reach out with a potential matter of grave concern.  

In the wake of the most recent alterations that have befallen your historic park in California – yes, I am referring to the calamitous loss/makeover of the Tower of Terror ride here – I humbly implore you to not follow suit.  

Please allow the iconic and tremendous Tower of Terror to stand tall, permanently, in the name of historical preservation, spooky honor, and good old-fashioned fun.  I hope that you will consider this humble plea from a passionate fan, while asking that my own passionate and devoted fans sign the attached change.org petition, just in case.
