Disney is just testing the waters for a rollercoaster/shooting gallery. Your ride picture at the end has your accuracy stats.
You really only need to be armed for the parking structures and the ball road/disneyland drive intersection.

Submission + - US Supreme Court Declares Same-Sex Marriage Legal Nationwide (reuters.com)

westlake writes: In a ruling that is the court's most important expansion of marriage rights in the United States since its landmark 1967 decision in Loving v. Virginia that struck down state laws barring interracial marriages, the US Supreme Court has declared same-sex marriage legal nationwide.
In the background of an unexpectedly liberal turn in Court, as seen by conservatives, is the growing power and influence of "the technocrat," by which they mean the dominant economic forces of the 21st century, Hollywood in entertainment, Silicon Valley in tech, Amazon in retailing, and so on.

I'm not quite sure, but adding an extra one to two thousand pounds of rotting packaging to your illicit product may impact your possible shipping channels.
Plus sawing through a neck instead of the much thinner horn would be a wee bit slower.

They aren't introducing Diet Horn here, they're trying to poison the supply chain.

The poachers probably aren't big proponents of a verifiable, traceable supply chain. They don't laser etch a serial number in the things after a kill. So you insert these fake horns into the chain and you dis-incentivize the poaching by driving prices down. Plus you get the witchdoctors questioning whether their supplier is selling them real of fake horns, which can lead to trust breakdowns and stop some purchases.
And hey, the smarter witchdoctors know it's all bullshit they're giving a polish to. So they'll secretly purchase completely legal and probably much cheaper fakes straight from the source and keep giving their victims a show.
