  1. I was on that train also!!! I wonder if it counts as a half credit because it only went around once!
  2. Update Time! Disneyland So this is going to be a pretty short update due to lack of photos and we didn't do much do to the park being packed! So here it goes... We entered the park around 5pm and to our dismay, it was at least twice as packed as the other park! We decided to check out Space Mountain to see how long the wait was. The first time we checked it the wait was 75 minutes. We left hoping the wait would get shorter as the night went on, but we were wrong. More on that later... We saw that Finding Nemo had a 30 wait so got in line. Turns out that the wait was around a hour due to the staff contently stacking the subs. I thought the ride itself was pretty cool, but waiting in the sub for literally 10 minutes after the ride ended wasn't. Matterhorn rehab taken from Nemos line. After Nemo, we met up with Heriberto (A Cast Member at DCA) and had some dinner at the restaurant right next to the ride. I got the BBQ Angus Bacon Cheese Burger, fries, and a drink, which I thought was going to take forever due to the line, but I was wrong! The burger was out in under 5 mintues and hot and fresh! It was honestly worth the $12.99! We ate pretty fast and moved onto the next ride. We Checked out Space Mountain again after dinner and say that it had a 110 minute line, so we just decided to skip it all together and move to another section of the park. As we tried to go Adventure Land, the parade was making its way threw, so we had to wait till it finished then push our way threw the crowds of people. We saw that a large number of people going into the Indiana Jones line. With it already having a 35 minute wait we decided to go on Haunted Mansion. The line was about 20 minutes and kept moving which was great! Then during the graveyard scene, the ride stopped for about 5-10 minutes! it was a great ride as always and I would have rode it again if we had the time. Up next was Pirates of the Caribbean! The line was about 30 minutes which wasn't to bad. I rode this back in 2003 but all I remember was sitting in a boat! I'm happy i go to experience the ride again and he first drop in darkness is amazing! Threw out the ride, Heriberto was saying where Hidden Mickeys were, and pointed out funny things the ride had to offer! After the ride we had time for one more ride! By this time it was about 7:45 and we saw that Big Thunder Mountain was the only large scale coaster in the park to have under a hour wait so we stuck it out. We got in line at the entrance to the ride and thought it would take a while. Thankfully the line didn't really stop moving, well... until the fireworks started! Fireworks from the line! The fireworks continued threw out the ride and made for a beautiful back drop on one of the lifts! Granted the ride isn't wicked intense, it is more intense the what I remember it being! It was a great ride and even got some nice airtime on some hills! Overall I had an amazing time at the park and I can't wait to go back some day and finally get my Matterhorn Credits! Next Update- Six Flags Magic Mountain for West Coast Bash! Thanks for readying everyone! -Kev =D
  3. Hey Everyone! For those who don't know me, my name is Kevin Aka Screaminkid2005. I'm a 23 year old from New Bedford, Massachusetts. In my spare time (Like many of you) I visit as many parks as possible! Over the past few years, i've been going to a bunch of new and exciting parks, so I figured why not just make a thread and share my adventures with you! So here we go!!! 2013 Trip Index Bottom of Page 4! 2012 Trip Index! 2-17-2012: Disney California Adventure! (Page 1) 2-17-2012: Disneyland!

I Began my adventure on 2-16-2012. Kyle aka BiZaRpErMaN and I headed to T.F.Green Airport in Warwick RI for our flight to Newark NJ. From Newark we were supposed to fly right into San Diego... Sadly this did not happen. Our flight to Newark ended up getting delayed a hour causing us to miss our next flight! Lucky for us, there was two seats left on a flight to Newark-Houston & Houston-San Diego. Instead of arriving in San Diego at 6pm as planned, we arrived at 11pm! As soon as we arrived, my brother picked us up, we grabbed a quick bite to eat, then it was off to bed! After hours of waiting, we're finally on our way to Cali!!! Disney California Adventure! The next day, after we picked up the rental car, the three of us decided to head over to Disney California Adventure and Disneyland! We arrived at the park around 1130am and planned to leave around 7:30-8pm. The last time I have been to the park was in 2003 and so much has changed since I've last visited! The main reason we went to the park was to see our old supervisor (Heriberto) that is currently doing the Disney College Program! As soon as we walked in, we bumped into his working the Pixar Pals Show! Me & Heriberto! =D After a quick chat, My Brother, Kyle, and I deiced to head over to Tower of Terror! Since my brother isn't really into big thrill rides, he decided that he'd rather walk around and take in the atmosphere. While walking into the line, we noticed that wait time said 45 minutes, this clearly wasn't the case! The line was really moving and we were on in about 25 minutes! Anyways, onto the pics! A view from the first set of switch backs! Tower of Terror from the midway! Now inside the lobby! Dammm... They really let this place go since it first opened! Tisk tisk disney! Apparently they hired Consuela and ran out of Lemon Pledge... They also need to step up their bell hop service... I was waiting 15 minutes and all they did was tell me to go to the library! #Rude And after the library, I some how ended up in the boiler room... After Tower of Terror, we met back up with my brother. On our way to California Screamin', we bumped into the winery and picked up two glasses. After few short minutes and a empty wine cup, we were at the entrance to Screamin'! Once again the wait time said 45 minutes and it was about 20 due to 5 train operation! Also once again my brother walked around Paradise Pier while we rode. Noted! I see you Mr. Loop! Arms Down, Head Back, Hold On!!! LAUNCH!!! Da EnTrAnCe! Airtime! Such a beautiful coaster! Our on-ride photo! After California Screamin', we saw that the park was starting to get packed, so we decided to go on the Fun Wheel. Ever since I was a little kid i've HATED ferris wheels so needless to say i wasn't very excited to ride it. Also to put insult to injury, we went in the swinging car.-_____- While waiting in line, I saw Nick and Jason getting off. After a few minutes of chatting it was time to ride! Yeaaa... Not a fan. After Fun Wheel since we were so short on time, we decided to go over to Disneyland to see how busy that park was... Next update: Disneyland! Thanks for reading! =D -Kevin
  4. So as I promissed before. Here's a picture of Superman as of 2-20-2012! It's begun! While I couldn't see anyone, I could hear the banging of steel!
  5. I just wanted everyone to know that there is a Boom currently at Superman. I have a picture but I can't upload it from my phone. I'll have someone post it later on!

  9. I got the same e-mail. I can't wait to find out if I made it in or not.
  10. I really hope this happens! I've wanted to visit KK ever since 2004. I know the Koch family will do wonders for the park and I wish them the best of luck!
  11. This thing is going to dominate the area! I saw it in person on Thursday and was in awe and the towers aren't even half done yet! I really can't wait to ride it in June!!!
  12. Thursday shouldn't be too crowded. Friday and Saturday will most likely be pretty busy, but not as busy as during the summer.
