Well, it only hit me today listening to the song playing while reading Guybrush's journal, that it's the music from Secret, Part II: The Journey! And I just marveled at how well they did that. It's a recap of all of Guybrush's journeys up to this point, so what tune could be more fitting? Well played, Land. Well played.

Hi everyone! In lieu of the very recent interview between MixnMojo and Ron Gilbert, it has been revealed that the Secret of Monkey Island is, and always has been, that the entire Monkey Island series is Guybrush playing around in a theme park. One of the things Ron specifically points to for this idea having always been the Secret is the Grog machine at Stan's. So then I started wondering what other signs there might be in at least MI1 and MI2? It gets tricky after that, since Ron and Dave were no longer on Curse, Escape, or Tales, but I'm sure there are still some things! Here's a short list of some things I've thought of so far: Secret of Monkey Island 1. The "Troll" is actually just a theme park worker (who looks strikingly like George Lucas) in a costume (This one blew my mind very recently) 2. The aforementioned Grog machine 3. The Machine that Captain Smirk trains Guybrush with is likely an attraction LeChuck's Revenge 1. Obviously, the entirety of the "Underground tunnels" 2. The infamous E Ticket (the ideal Ultimate Treasure for a Them Park enthusiast) 3. The coffin to the Voodoo Lady's hut is also likely an attraction Curse of Monkey Island 1. The whole ending, though not intentional with Return's ending, fits right in with the whole Theme Park thing Anyways, what things have you all noticed?
