  1. I've honestly already set my expectations like this anyway, we take this school trip every 2 years (although last time was in a different season) and it was really good the first two days, but the last day was unbearable. I really just wanted to know when the holiday rush really starts, I'm hoping that we're going too early for most holiday tourists.
  2. So I'm going to the parks on a school trip from December 7-9 and wanted to know how crowded the park will be. I know it's December and it'll be busy, but just want to know what to expect.
  3. I might actually be ok with a Free Spin in all honesty, even though that's kind of a basic addition. But I definitely agree they need to focus on the kids- the Looney Tunes area is really starting to look aged and could use a refurb. I really want us to get that Justice League dark ride, but at this point is just wishful thinking imo.
  4. Since it hasn't really been brought up, what do think we'll be getting next year? This year seems really quiet in terms of rumors, which (coupled with the fact we've been going pretty good these last few years) means we probably won't be getting anything huge, but who knows?What do you guys think?
  5. Just a question, but is there any purpose for the bar code at the bottom of the paper FastPass reminder? It almost makes it seem like you would still be able to use that instead of your ticket (at least for now, while they're still handing out paper reminders).
  6. Yeah, I think that auctioning off women as wives is pretty bad and they need to get rid of it. I also think that raiding coastal towns and pillaging and stealing all their stuff is pretty bad too so we should just get rid of that too... because then everyone can be happy! Instead of riding through a burning town, we can go through a happy town where everyone is singing together, because that's what pirates always did when they invaded towns.
  7. Kong? Smooth? I think you've slammed your head against the restraint one too many times. After the recent modifications to the track there is little to no headbanging now!!! I don't know what Kong you were riding, but last time I rode it with VR I was beaten so senseless that the headset was so far to the side that I could see sunlight. I think most people would consider that to be more than little to no headbanging.
  8. http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/01/21/guardians-of-the-galaxy-disneyland-ride-looks-to-offer-a-lot-of-fun-for-marvel-fans New article from IGN where they went on a construction tour of Guardians of the Galaxy. Some new information that makes me a lot more excited for the ride.
  9. Just got back from the park, mainly to try VR Kong (never tried a VR coaster before). Single worst experience I have ever had at any theme park. It didn't feel like they have done anything to the track at all. Doesn't matter what they tell you, those restraints weren't changed from the last time I rode it. Long loading times (obviously) and so much pain. Me and at least 5 others on the train had headsets nearly fall off during the ride from so much head banging. The only silver lining is that Kong isn't that good of a coaster to begin with, so it won't be missed.
  10. Yeah, I feel like the real announcement for SFDK is that Kong MIGHT be getting tolerable restraints. But, the press release makes it sound like they only have a month to do it. Is that actually enough time to upgrade them (or I guess just put new trains on)? I was there Sunday and only one train was running, with the other one nowhere to be seen, so maybe they're already changing out the restraints on that one. I think the fact that they said some track work will be happening scares me a bit more.
  11. I'm kind of surprised. I'm totally okay with this in concept considering that the Hollywood Studios attraction is still the way it is, but I'm not sure about the potential execution. The fact that they're only closing the attraction for, let's say, six months at most makes me think like this won't feel like a new attraction when it opens. Ready and willing to be proven wrong, as always. I'm not that worried honestly. They said that they already shot footage to be used in the ride while the shot the GOTG sequel. And it was mentioned on screamscape that they could start exterior work on parts of the building before the ride even closes. I have no doubt that they everything interior within six months, so really it doesn't scare me.
  12. I went the week before Thanksgiving a few years ago, and the crowds weren't that bad. It may have changed since then, but I think that would be the best choice to get around the marathon etc.
  13. I was there yesterday too. When we first got to the park,the parking lot was nearly empty but the employees forced us into the fairground lot for apparently no reason, then let the cars immediately after us go to the real parking lot. This was especially annoying considering that we were in a group with multiple cars and we got split between the two lots. As for lines, we didn't end up doing too much. When we first got to the park we were waiting for others in our group so we went back to Boomerang, where we had no wait at all and walked right on. We then went to Joker (at this point about noon) where we had about a half hour wait. We then just kind of wandered around the park until we tried Pacific Rim for the first time (Nothing to say about that ). After that we went down by Medusa where we found close to no wait, as the switchbacks inside weren't being used at all, which may be why you saw the line stretching out. We ended up leaving after this due to the crowds and heat. Overall, not a very good day
  14. Definitely The Joker at Discovery Kingdom
  15. Good news. Both trains? Technically yes, but the green one is going through empty with riders only on the purple train.
  16. At the park right now, Joker has been open all morning.
  17. Found this on Instagram... Not official source but still interesting...
  18. yeah the only place where I've seen anyone say may 27th for public opening is here. Same, except I saw a GP (assuming it was a GP) post a comment on the SFDK FB page that mentioned she saw the opening date on a Youtube video, but I haven't been able to find the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn44F9yEtEY I found this video, maybe it's the one she was talking about? No matter what it isn't an official source.
  19. Does anyone know when exactly the ride opens? I saw someone post May 27 but I haven't been able to confirm it anywhere. I was hoping someone could help clear this up.
  20. I wouldn't get too excited, I got the exact same survey but asking about SFDK.
  21. I would be so psyched if they put in a tunnel with special effects, especially before the lift.The pre-lift seems awfully bare and boring in POV
  22. Does anyone know how busy it normally gets on holiday weekends? I have to go Monday to process season passes and I know it will be busy, I just would like to know how busy.
