video linked through Screamscape. Video of the mock-up for the ride, looks heavily themed, but not too exciting (for me) definitely a scre-the-crap-out-of-your-kid kind of ride.

When in doubt go to an actual doctor! With my experience as a ride-op (and knowing a few First Aid people) I'm sure about 85% (if not more) of the "problems" people have had on rides (getting sick, fainting, etc) are due to lack of food and water combined with the forces on a coaster and hot weather. It could also just be how her body handles the forces on that particular ride. Same reason some people brown out on Goliath. but like I said, get her to her physician and have herself check out.

Don't think you're so special. I literally mean I miss the place and it's only been 10 days since I was there and I'm thinking of heading out again next week.

awww man I need to go back, it's been like a week! lol

^It still hurts... A LOT.

mmmm Surge...er...I mean Vault...

Speak for Yourself! I haven't paid for my Icee's in long time. The cup technically never leaves the store (but gets washed) so it still counts right? We have four flavors (including Vault) of Icee (not including two more flavors of frozen smoothies they sell...) and they are oh so tasty. MMMMM Caffeine. No weight lost, but no weight gained so it was a good day!

At least there were no blue balls. Thanks for sharing, I'm intrested in the 7-up cake though. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

They are freakin' comfortable too!

Nice pics! I really really need to get my butt up there and go to the park, it looks absolutely beautiful for fall.

Went again this past Monday (BUSY!) with some family and got a few more pics of the castle all done and pretty at night. I apologize for the blurriness of them, but I don't have a tripod so it's hard to get a crystal clear pic just holding the camera without using flash! It's snoaping! View #3 Over inbetween of King Triton's Grooto and Snow White's Grotto (the Wishing Well). View #2a right as you exit fantasyland through the castle towards Frontierland. View #2 Right in front after they blocked it off for Fireworks View #1 Side view from Carnation gardens I loev this ride. yes I'm sick.

Multiple jobs and putting yourself in debt is another way. I wouldn't recommend it, especially with being in college.

I think there will be a small family thing, btu as I have to be at work at 4AM the next morning, I'm sure I'll be popping a few Simply Sleeps.

*remembers the M&M's meet Santa commercial* "They do exist!" *faint*

Dude, Awesome pics so far! Can't wait to see the rest. I really need to get to the other coast more (my state count is only up to 9) and griffon looks like a lot of fun.

A big meh goes out to that particular design, I like the idea of theoretically adding capacity in the sense that many many people don't ride together anymore. And if it's just lap bars they should be able to get the trains going out faster for even less waiting and less chance of cascading.

^^The chinese immigrants working on the railroads? Over all I like it, the booster bike at Toverland was a really fun ride. Don't get me wrong, it's nothing amazing, but if this is anything like it, then it's a good addition to the park. I'll be honest though, I am a bit disappointed that it's not a little longer, but we still don't know what kind of theming (if any) and interactivity with the area it's going to be in. And to those really surprised with this, how many other CF parks have a Disney park adding 1.3 Billion dollars worth of infrastructure (not to mention a completely new family ride opening this summer) right down the street?

The park looks gorgeous, I need to somehow find a way to eventually get out there during the holiday season. Can't wait to see more of your pics!

So this recent Friday I headed over to the Disneyland resort to see what they had up for Christmas so far and to spend some quality time with some friends and family. i had a great day overall and I can't wait until this Friday for the kick off of the Christmas season at the DLR. Plus that means Holiday fireworks and a snow covered fiber optic covered tiny Castle doing pretty things not seen before! I'm not much of a story teller, so I'll just get to the pics! More DCA X-mas theming. Opps, I forgot to take a lot of pictures Adventure Donkey? A lot of different colors over in the San Fransisco part of the park... not enough colors for SF DCA is trying to be all Christmas-y too Can't wait to see what they do with it at night when it's all done. (current Desktop) It looks like bird poop from far away, but it actually looks decent up close. I then got invited over to Mickey's to have a super serious conversation Doing naughty things on Minnie's bed. Minnie shopps for Mickey's Christmas gift. Please don't eat the children Satan clock!* *Words may or may not have been misspelled Finae, it's almost over! I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it. It opened a week early! I love this ride*! *Only during the Holidays* *this may or may not be true We have to WAIT to ride Space Mountain!?! The Vekoma survival kit comes in handy Has haunt taken over the Castle? I think I see something in the distance... On the tram there after a nice filling breakfast at Denny's it is way to early to be up...

About time fat a$$! lol Sounds ambitious, but I'm really excited to see the progress. Much luck to you and everyone else going for less of themselves or more in those rare occasions... I started going to the gym about two weeks ago and I can already see the difference in me, now if I could just cut out the crap I eat (which is fattening free home cooked Mexican food everyday ) I could drop even faster. Can't wait to see less of you and those gorilla feet.

If you honestly hate where you are working, discuss it with your supervisor. I know/knew most of them and they are all great people who for the most part will work with you to make you happy, aka not quit. Especially with the lack of a bonus to really keep people there like when it was double. CP will hire almost any and everyone. There were more then a few times I would literally fear for peoples (mostly the little kids) lives.

None of the coasters are really "hard" they all have their little things about them. Corkscrew has the arrow dance (/ Popping pedals/ releasing and locking harnesses) lots of jumping around to get the train sent and now with the seat belt (oy!); Dragsters like MF with the added bonus of downtime on top of it; Woodstock's Express has one of the most annoying seat belt "covers" that have to be manually released; Jr. Gemini you're in the whole childern's area, same goes for Woodstock in Camp Snoopy, but it's a LOT less hampton's buzzing; Raptor, Magnum, Gemini, (maverick?) Iron Dragon, You have to move fast to keep up with interval; Mantis is a total bit... witch but it really can be a lot of fun; Mean Streak has bugs; Blue Streak you have to catch the trains to transfer off; Disaster Transport's A/C can (and does) break plus you have to do trough walks and if it's wet it's VERY slippery and dark; Wicked Twister is right on the beach so when those nice strong storms roll trough you'll end up with sand EVERYwhere; Wildcat is physical (as already described); Mine Ride has those single restraints which are really fun when it's one big person in that car...

Just want to toss in a few more words, They hired me at the age of 17, I've always lived here in California, and it was my first job. Unfortunately because of my age and availability that first year, I worked in games, but it definitely gave me what I needed to come back at least one more year (which turned into 3) in rides. The first year I was assigned Power Tower (2003) and for the most part was there and Magnum most of the summer (One random day during training week, they were having TTD's media day so they sent PT and Corkscrew's crews over to Magnum to train... ouch for being my first lift walk ever...) The first two years were also the only two years I actually had an interview, the last two I just applied and eventually got my contract in the mail lol. I also want to point out that if you're a good worker and want more hours (since there is no overtime, they really don't care how many hours you work up to 80 when hey do send people home) you could easily get cross trained on most any ride in the park. There's a shorter list of rides I didn't work rather then actually worked. As for housing, I was always a fan of the 1500's (commons Dorms on the list same as 1400's) as the building had two wings of female rooms except for one floor on one of the wings, but that had much more to do then with the people I was living with. Plus housing was free after labor day!

Did it for four years and wouldn't change it for the world. The amount of friends I've made (and still have) mean so much to me. Probably wouldn't do it again mostly for the pay (or lack there of really) and the whole working up to 80 hours a week (YAY Dragster!) is a serious investment in time and sanity. Keep in mind your outside doing manual labor most of the time for the majority of positions. There are different types of housing (varying in price from really really cheap to still cheap but with A/C!) and the meals you have to pay for yourself out of your own pocket. Housing is decent, nothing too special but it's all about the people you end up living and working with that will make or break your summer. I could write entire essays on different aspects of working at that park, so if you have any other questions feel free to ask, I know there are a few more people on here that have done the whole slave labor for a summer at CP.

Dave TV! lol this is great stuff to read when you're bored.
