^ Inverted Gringott's. Heard it here first.

^ If there's one thing I've learned it's that all of the crowd forecasts and live reports are not to be trusted. Sure, sometimes they're spot on, but by the same token they can't predict the future. For instance, take my last visit to the Disneyland Resort in early May. Everything I had looked at pointed to the place being a complete ghost town. It was the time between spring break and summer vacation, kids were in school, right? Wrong, big time. Both days the parks were hugely packed and lines were quite long all around in both parks. Luckily we know our way around Fastpass and single rider lines so the trip was still fun as we managed to get on everything that wasn't shut down (that's a whole other story), but compared to our trip in mid-September last year where the parks actually were empty it was a bit of a disappointment. We're talking going from riding Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy about 15 times in one day to riding twice. Not just Space Mountain, but every ride. September was incredible, May was fun but still annoying, haha. Just goes to show that anything can happen whenever.

One of my buds on FB, also a member here, is live-updating from the line. He's been in line for over 5 hours and still isn't even inside the building. Tweets and wait time apps are LIES!

^ Thank you very much for that. Unfortunately it does not come with any real new information, though. The question still stands about just how the restraint completely failed. Even if the locking mechanisms for the hydraulics unlocked the seatbelt should have done its job. Those Intamin belts aren't your typical "hit the button" release. You need coordination to unlock them. Very strange, indeed.

I'm surprised you actually had the courage to venture through yelp reviews.

Ahhhhhhhhh, Chile. I read the title as Fiabilandia in Italy. My bad. I'm aware of the flipped seasons.

Poltergeist at Dorney. Rode it as the original Superman at Geauga Lake and again a few years ago at its new home and it's still one of my favorites. The straight reverse spike with the brake is much better than Wicked Twister.

I'm going straight to hell.

Indy is my favorite ride in the history of everything. Seriously, that thing is wicked.

"No more Ninjas in captivity! They should all be released to Dojos so they are free to roam with their families!"

I get the feeling you're forgetting what park we're dealing with...

The NBC stream with the moron on the mic is live again.

"Where did the rest of the ride go? Did it fall?" Someone fire this guy. He shouldn't be saying this stuff on a live stream.

^ Heard that too. Incoming public apology soon enough.

^^ I think they're referring to how it's inverted track and it would be odd for a branch to come to a rest on it. Granted, anything is possible, but I see their point.

Now that I've seen the livestream and everyone looks to be in good spirits... "Sorry for the inconvenience. Here's a voucher for a free Coca-Cola."

....photo tr? Seems to be missing something. Edit - Also what? Winter holidays? It's July.

^ No FP for Peter Pan or Haunted Mansion? That has to be a super recent change because they were there in May.

^ Seriously, Soarin' is a joke, but the GP love the hell out of it. I don't understand why. Sure, the idea is cool and the takeoff effect is fun if you're in the first or second row, but the actual film is CRAP! Jump cuts like no tomorrow. I'm shocked that Disney allowed such an amateur effort. I mean, it's a fairly simple solution. Just have the film fly into the clouds for a scene change. Going from flying over skiiers on a snow covered mountain to instantly being over orange groves is a huge system shock and completely takes out any immersion. It would also help if they stabilized the footage. There's some scenes where the camera is a bit bumpy.

Terrible news. I'm curious about how exactly this happened, though. How did the restraint fail? Looking at the image of the cars it seems like it'd be next to impossible for it to fail. There's a belt and sidebar.

^ Thanks for the heads up. I've never been through that whole area, to be honest. I've always stayed at one of the hotels across Ball Road and just walk to the parks (saves $16 on parking daily). Last time we visited in May we stopped at the Denny's simply because it was the only thing still open. Needed some food and caffeine to make the 4 hour trip back to Vegas that night, haha.

Forgot that one in my notes. Probably because it sucks. Didn't even notice this place last time we were there. Might have to give it a try next time. Thanks!
