FIXED! That it does! The themeing appears to be so immersive. Though most of the pics we've seen appear to have been taken with a "fish-eye" or "panoramic" lens. I'm really hoping that my AP gets picked for the preview on June 11 (we find out June 4), otherwise it may be some time before I actually tackle the crowds this will produce. Though I will probably head down there after work on the 15th, just to have a glass of wine or two at the winery to watch all the stupidity. (I'm actually assuming at this time, that the park will be closed to reaching capacity limits by the time I would get there - about 7pm.) For the record - I did like the 2 "Cars" movies. However, I'm really not interested in the two "C" ticket attractions. But, I'm really hoping to like RSR. I'm pretty sure it won't be as cool or as loud as Journey, or as fun as Test Track (My personal favorite Disney ride), but, I am wanting to like it. JJ (BTW- Mad (shi)T-Party can be tossed and forgotten as far as I'm concerned. It's truly an eyesore during the day, and at night - it's a conglomerate clusterphuck of epic stupidity! AND, because it is mostly locals that attend, I also predict it will start to die off, after people's AP's start to expire, and the peeps can't afford the new prices.)

Larry, maybe you should pitch an idea to the networks of YOU starring in: Man vs. Food vs. Roller Coasters It's worth a shot!

Sorry Chris. I disagree wholeheartedly. I found it to be quite an eyesore (not that ElecTRONica was any better) and had no place INSIDE a park designed to provide "family" entertainment. It should have been built OUTSIDE the park, in Downtown Disney, with the rest of the bars and such. It also makes me wonder how the AP price increases will affect the people that attend it. Having an AP is one thing, but when all of the current AP's expire, will they pay that much extra for a sort "cover charge" to get in there. Because a lot of people ONLY go there for the partying. After some time, *I* believe it will kill off "T Party" due to the overall expense. JJ

QFT!!

I'll be there on the 15th! I don't plan on riding anything, but I do want to sit above at the wine bar and watch all the crazy happen haha. I may join you there, as I know it's going to be bat(poop) insane!! Understatement of the year!! It will probably make you dream of the quietness of the spring break crowds. Truth be told, I'll probably have to watch for updates here, and on FB, as I imagine that the park may be closed at some point due to reaching its capacity. (ala - New Years Eve) JJ

Let me guess - You're hungry again???

That's fine, and I see his reasoning. I don't. Even when I almost get ran over on one, and in the process, almost ran over Elissa and KT. (Hi Bob!)

Looks like a great addition to one of my personal "Top 5 parks in the world!" I really hope to get back there someday!! JJ

Since my name has come up, I'll chime in (to ridicule, of course). I AGREE wholeheartedly! 2! For the umpteen billionth time - *I* count it as 2. Period. Stop. End of story. No maś! Though my count has stalled (2 new credits, over the last 2 years, due to lack of finances), I too, am now leaning toward the more conservative approach, with an exception or two. Though I won't go back and edit my count for the sake of this discussion, or my database (currently using "Numbers" on the Mac). Anywho, for the record (again!): I do count Wacky Soap Box Racers and Motorcycle Chase as 2. Even looking back, I would still say 2. And ONLY 2. Steeplechase @ BPB - One. (And yes, I have ridden all 3 tracks - still ONE credit in my book.) Space Mountain, is exactly the same, 1 credit. Travelling and/or fair coasters: Since I don't want to spend the time tracking down each model/type/style by each owner, I just count the "type" once. For example: if I ride a spinning mouse at one fair and another one at another fair (in the same country) ONE credit. I think I only have 5 or six of those anyway. I did count "Devil's Den" at Conneaut Lake. In hindsight, I wouldn't have counted it nowadays. JTA at SWF, no credit. More water ride than coaster. On the flip side, JTA at SWSD I would count, as it's more coaster than water ride, when and if I ever get down there to ride it. (Probably might later this summer with Manta opening up.) Haven't even looked at the one at SWoT. Relocated coasters - Yes, I do count them. Deal with it. Racing/Dueling - Generally I count as 2. NO MORE THAN THAT! No discussion. Mobius coasters - Only 1, providing I've ridden both sides (Only 3 that I know of, and I've ridden 2: Grand National & The Racer @ Kennywood.) S:TE & S:EFK - ONE credit. ONE. Only ONE. Powered coasters - No. (Though I still give Big Mike grief over that ) Steel Phantom/Phantoms Revenge - Big enough change, so 2. Same for Texas Giant. I wouldn't make fun of people that ride "Backyard" coasters. I will probably never ride one, so more power to those that have/do. But, as Robb said, nowadays it seems (to me) to be more about how many locations (parks, whatever) and the experiences I've had, with the people I've met, than to just ride coasters. If that makes sense. JJ

12, and I feel like I should have known more. Still, not too nerdy.

I know the feeling!

I second that. In fact, I would go so far as to say that any Japan trip w/o a Tokyo Disney option would probably never happen. (I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt it.) JJ

21/26 - Again, not too nerdy.

I (like most other people) LOVE TDS!!! I have to admit Divv - That is probably the best picture I've ever seen taken of Lava Monster!! Keep up the good work, and hurry up and finish!! JJ

Nice sigh Hanno!! Loved the pics as well! I'm just wondering how many park visits it will take you to get that signature shot! (My guess is that you'll be riding it when it happens, just to annoy you!) JJ

I'm really looking forward to this with GREAT anticipation!! It may not have the sights/sounds/theming/airtime of Journey... It may not have the slalom braking or speed/banking (or breaking down directly UNDER the a/c) of Test Track... But I think it will be a happy medium of the two, if not more. And I do hope so, as JTTCOTE and TT are two of my favorite Disney rides anywhere!!

Yup. They finally got it right.

Yup. You're old.

Damn. Way to ruin my day, Chuck!

Since T-Express is my #1 wooden coaster, I'd say yes - but, it does take up quite a lot of real estate. Narrow, but long. Not too likely at this point in time. You were shaking and walking pretty slow after that too!!! And talking a mile-a-minute. Oh wait....

"You gonna die smart!"

LAVA TENNIS BALL - FTW!!!!

STEAM TSUNAMI!!!
