  1. Have never done a TPR trip before, but I am READY to put a deposit down for Mexico. I have always been drawn to the TPR 'first of a kind' trips, and I can only imagine how fun exploring Mexico City would be with this group. Hopefully theres enough interest in this trip as it's the one I am seeing the least about!
  2. I was there last week and happy to see the vulture anamatronics before the final lift working...they haven't been operating all year. Also regarding those huge advice posts, another tip: Roger Rabbit & California Screamin' are not currently 'linked' to the system. What this means is you can pick up a Fastpass for either of those attractions within the waiting period of a previous Fastpass. Good to know if you are doing the rush-around thing.
  3. So does this confirm that the games from Floyds Arcade are indeed going to be used in the 2nd floor space of Starcade? I know they were being stored there...
  4. Until roller coasters are built in national parks...yes! I can't think of a more pleasant view on a coaster than that
  5. I am also a DL annual passholder that thinks The Little Mermaid is a fun dark ride, I ride it every time I am in the park. I'm pretty jealous of MK's queue though, ours is pretty plain in comparison
  6. I have noticed the last few visits that the fastpass queue for the RSR ride is still a good 30 minutes long. Waiting a half hour for the FP and another half hour to ride doesn't make a lot of sense to me unless you really want to ride with your group. Single Rider is the best way to experience it with the least wait. I understand that this does not work for families, though
  7. Looks fun...agree that I am surprised that I haven't seen it before.
  8. I agree that SFMM does not really need any more inversions. We are and have for a very long time been in the lead on RCDB for inversions with 32. Not to mention you still go 'upside down' on Green Lantern and that ride has zero inversions. I would love for the new ride to have some serious airtime.
  9. That was fun. Thanks for putting these together!!!!!
  10. The wording sounds like the glow effects will be minimal and tasteful.
  11. WOW, thanks for uploading! I was curious if you, or anybody, knows that the white track-like structure is in the background of the motorboat attraction photo? These are great pictures though, my first visit was in 1985 and I somewhat recall the open sides of the barrel bridge on Tom Sawyer Island...could have been Camp Snoopy though...
  12. Hahaha, yeaaaah. I will say you do get soaked, but Roaring Rapids is probably one of the lamest rapids rides in Southern California, you basically go in a circle and that's it. Knott's, DCA and Sea World all have better ones. I just want to go on the record and say that I like Roaring Rapids' natural surrounding and wider-than-average river. It feels more serene and can really mix up ride experiences going down different sides of the river.
  13. I rode Green Lantern for my first time a few weeks ago. The flipping was minimal until the very end until we got what felt like 3 flips in, and we entered the station upside down. We didn't wait any more than 45 seconds or so until we were slowly flipped 90 degrees, then a brief break then the last 90 degrees. I don't believe there was a mechanic there or somebody flipping the car, but I could be wrong.
  14. Does anybody know for sure which direction the train is going to be traveling through this element?
  15. I rode Colossus at SFMM by myself during WCB a few years back. I sat in the back row to observe the empty train. It was a peaceful, memorable experience; one of maybe 3 that I actually remember out of my countless rides on it.
  16. Opening day at SFMM is nothing like, say, what just happened in Anaheim. You can usually get multiple rides in after the opening ceremony but not so much later in the day. The best bet, though, is to get in on a media event!
  17. As an adult that visits with other adults to the Disneyland Resort, I have to say that many of us prefer going to DCA over DL (I realize I may be in the minority). Keep in mind that this opinion came with the years of walls up, so that has to say something. I have been slowly experiencing the improvements and seeing the park slowly come to life. Now that the park is complete, I feel like it's 'all grown up' and is truly a functional all day experience. I think part of what we like about the park is the lack of Disney Fan crazy people, as they have all found their niche at Disneyland. I see some of my future visits involving much less park-hopping than they have in the past; as I really think I can leave DCA now feeling the 'Disney Magic.' I also appreciate the fact that it is operating on a full schedule now, as we would often spend the day at DCA, and hop over to DL only because it was open for another 5 hours.
  18. It all looks sooo good. Can't wait till the end of blackout summer!
  19. Congrats on your legal win. I would have felt personally insulted if I was in your position. Your park looks great!
  20. For the record, Ghostrider seriously put me out of commission for a couple of days after my last ride. But anyway, besides the hydraulic fluid part, the article is fine. I especially enjoyed the TPR noodle filter.
  21. ^It's the "steal" of a lifetime, marked down from $9.99 to $4.38. I mean, how could I NOT become a proud owner? There was another style of cholo bear as well, but it was a little more expensive hovering just over $6. ^^I was at the park monday and both sides were installed completely but they were doing trackwork all day, with cables hanging all over the place. No testing then...
  22. Has anybody seen this? I do believe this is the single most awesome piece of merch available at SFMM. I don't know why it is rotating to the side like that, sorry!
