^We were at HHN Hollywood on Saturday and it was the busiest we have ever seen that park. Houses during early entry were over an hour and they have weird staggered openings and are like 30min apart in different corners of the park. And don't forget about the Terror Tram which will also have a decent wait time. The Express passes were AMAZING!!!! No lines at all. We're used to Orlando where you still end up waiting 20min with express but that was never the case in Hollywood. They did sell out the night we were there, but then at 11pm they started selling them again. I know it's expensive, but for us it was sooooo worth it to upgrade. Even allowed us to do two of the houses twice as we got opening standby for two of them, and then went back with express later.

They had no choice but to pull this tower down. The only interesting thing will be to see if it gets relocated or scrapped. I can't even imagine it getting relocated domestically because of all the press around it, but I also can't see it getting scrapped so we'll see.

Hate the theme so I'm going to be calling it West Coast VelociCoaster for sure! Also, we were at the park on Saturday and it was the busiest I have EVER seen USH! They could use this coaster for sure!

^I was hoping to ride this earlier in the summer but it wasn't open yet. An Italian Movieland Studios home made mission space just sounds epic!

^There will be a lot next week at the official announcement.

Glad you could at least salvage some of your cruise!

^When you say 'underwater obstacle' I assume you're talking about the rest of your parties arms and feet kicking and flailing and hitting your cause that's what was happening! LOVED EVERY PAINFUL MINUTE OF IT!!!

^Yup! Was just talking to friends about this tonight! Want to book!!

I have also had to eat my icee with a spoon lately at parks...even with a paper straw, it just never works.

^YAAASSSSS!!!! We all kept doing laps on that outdoor river rapid attraction. It would last one hour at a US park before it was shut down due to lawsuits but man I'm going to go enjoy it in Europe every time we go now!!!!

Damn. Now I want raclette bad...and to go back to Rutlantica!!!

I really think Europa is such a great resort. What a wonderful TR!!! And yes, the management was very nice to us (and nice to look at!) We bought a stuffed version of the pirate otter from the ride and he now happily lives in our bedroom.

Report back with how it goes!

Hey a two day cruise with a bunch of onboard credit is better than no cruise!!! https://www.royalcaribbean.com/notices/travel-updates

I think you're going to cancel. =( Looks like Port Canaveral is going to close until at least Friday afternoon which won't really give them time to turn the ship around.

^Spectrum is a nice ship but cruising in Asia is VERY different from the rest of the world. If you're looking for that stereotypical cruise experience for your first time then I would absolutely jump on one after a Florida trip! Then if you like it, grab a cheap asian cruise once back home as an easier getaway. And yes, gratuities are added to all purchases onboard as well as a standard tip amount to select positions on the ship like your cabin steward, waiter, etc.

^ Independence of the Seas: Friday, September 30, 2022 sailing from Port Canaveral We are closely and continuously monitoring Hurricane Ian to understand if the storm will impact your boarding day. At this time, there are no changes to your sailing. Should we need to make any changes to ensure our guests’ safety and comfort, we will contact booked guests and travel advisors immediately and no later than September 28 at 8:00 PM EDT.

Makes sense, I think this storm is going to be rough on Tampa.

Follow James Van Fleet on twitter, he's the official RCCL weather guy. They won't change your cruise to Saturday-Tuesday cause then that affects two cruises. They would shorten or cancel yours. I assume this is Mariner? It will probably sit in the Bahamas and see what the storm does before they decide if they're going to bring it back Friday or push a day.

I love all the people that are blaming Intamin for this. Like, the ride is 16 years old, Intamin hasn't touched it in quite a while.

^Robb said he loved that flume AND rode it, that should have been all the warning you needed!

Ahh Europe...where the boobs are a plenty!

Guys, clearly this is a SF/CF swap!!! Mr. Freeze basically had the same announcement, so you heard it here first, Mr. Freeze going to CP and TTD going to SFOT!

Chuck is at the big announcement now and will have a full photo trip report later today from the announcement including track pix!
