Going to be visiting the park on Tuesday, anyone going to be there? How have the crowds been? Is the Tatsu wait FOREVER?!

The changes have only been made at Disneyland I believe. chuck

I also went to the Pirates of the Carribean Cast Member preview Thursday night and I have to concur about the "enhance", It is pretty darn good! I was impressed! The Davy Jones effect was enough for me. I could care less what else happened, it was worth the down time! Just a heads up! I hear that maybe soft opening will begin on Sunday. So if you get the chance to go to the resort come check it out! Chuck "Disney Dork" Garcia

I think my first major coaster was the Whizzer at Marriot's Great America in Santa Clara...I remember freaking out because there were no seatbelts. But the same day I was riding the Demon, and it became the day fell in love with coasters!

Yes we chatted up the lift on Tatsu! The drive does kinda suck. I live in Burbank, and commute to Anaheim almost everyday! I hope I won't have to do that very much longer. Anyway, casting is looking for some good people (we need them bad) and with your attractions background, you should be a shoe-in! Just remember to smile alot in your interview! HAHAHA! That is if you transfer to whatever college is closer, i guess! chuck

Hey Jahan, glad to see that you had a good time as well as catching some very good service from Cast members! I do agree that Rockit Mountain did not live up to my dreams, but it was something different. Believe me, we hope that it will be transformed into something much more impressive. If Magic doesn't hold your interest, you should come be a CM with us. Sounds like you know your stuff! Once again Congrats on graduating, see you at the park! chuck "Disney Dork" garcia p.s. Did you not have the option to go the pre-party "blast off" at California Adventure?

I am biased but I think my coaster looks the best! I heart California Screamin'!

I have probably told Robb 50 times how much I appreciated the Camp Out! It was a blast! Tatsu ended up being so much more than I had anticipated! If you havn't started planning your trip do it soon! Thanks again TPR, you're the best! Chuck "I still love California Screamin', but Tatsu Rocks!" Garcia

Hey thats me checking restraints in one of the pictures! YES thats twice in a trip update! Chuck "My ego is getting bigger by the post" Garcia

OK..... the single seat in the green train was a design to help passengers transfer from the wheel chair to the seat. But the design was not well planned because it was then difficult for guest to exit the train back to wheel chair after their ride was complete. Guests with special needs also have difficulty when we alternate stations, leaving their wheel chairs and assistive devices in the opposite station. But we as Cast Members find a way to make their experience enjoyable and fun! ALSO....you won't believe how many people try to sit in the single seat without the restraint...It is quite amusing to see them freak out! Chuck "Setting the Record Straight" Garcia

Hard to say! Right now the main concern is Safety! Not the frivolous, but absolutely remarkable, soundtrack!

It makes me soooo sad that the audio is not working! Guests ask about it all the time! It's hard to hear when guests are really dissappointed, and say that "its the best part of the coaster!" I have been told that Disney is looking to use the more reliable audio system that they have on Space Mountain 2.0. But we have so many different factors to deal with being an outdoor coaster, with far more intense elements than Space Mountain. One of these days it will be back! I can't wait to see the Derek footage on Screamin'! It should be great! Chuck "I'm just a Ride Op, not an audio specialist" Garcia

Oh My Laundry! I'm in the trip report! Thanks alot Robb! It was nice to finally meet you! My co-workers will be jealous! Thanks for the kind words about Screamin', its true, it could be alot worse! But I hear they are trying to work out the few bugs it has. We are constantly testing! Hope to hang in the parks sometime soon, but until then...I am a slave of the Mouse! Not so bad really! Chuck "The quick dispatch kid" Garcia :O)

HAHAHA thanks Phish! I searched....but obviously not well enough!

Just wondering how many members are Ride Operators (past or present) here at TPR, as well as what park, and what attraction. Disney's California Adventure Golden Zephyr Jumpin' Jellyfish California Screamin'

Yeah check out RCDB. Search for Goliath! It looks like a pretty good beemer!

YAY! My 1st Post! So, Is it stupid that I am addicted to seeing what happens at SFMM!? If the B&M Flyer rumor is true it will be cool to finally have another Flyer in CA, and I am sure the SFMM version is not going to disappoint. As far as the Thrill Shot goes, havnt they been problematic from the beginning? Seems like alot of problems for one ride. Granted I am sure it is an amazing ride. But I think they should just build a Triple S&S Drop Tower there instead! Almost the same footprint right?
