^ "You are with Sigourney Weaver aboard the Spaceship Nostromo. One by one the crew have vanished and somewhere within the ship a terrifying creature waits to claim it's next victim..." I can never resist the chance to use that quote...

Can't believe this ride has finally opened to guests... We were supposed to ride it during the East Coast Trip in 2008, when I was still in High School. I've graduated college since then!

^^Instant diabetes.

Gravity Max looks like such a messed up, awesome ride! Thanks for sharing another great look at this neat park and that bizarre coaster!

Looks like a fun little Eurofighter! Great to see parks even as remote as Adventure World getting major additions like this!

It is interesting to see them making this change last a little longer... I couldn't even imagine what Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit would be like running backwards.

^^I'd imagine that the Cirque building is too small inside to convert into anything of note, but the space it occupies and the adjacent parking lot could probably be put to good use...

^Where is the first custom El Loco?

Thanks for this great look at Toverland! This park still fascinates me as to how it has grown over the years and gained extra levels of theming along the way! I can't wait to see what they do next...

It is great to finally see an S&S El Loco with more of a difference in the layout than a drop that is one degree steeper in each model. Hopefully this is a sign that the company will start offering more customized layouts for other parks.

^Our last visit to Clementon was a quick one due to the rain, but it looked like a nice park. It is good to see they've kept up the place since our visit on the East Coast Trip.

^^Any Tokyo Disney announcement is a good Tokyo Disney announcement!

Great to see Happy Magic Water Cube has caught on! Now let's get one in the States!

^It is Vekoma who supplied the track for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster.

(Continued) It isn't the original, but it builds on everything that made the original great, and makes it even better! And I maxed it out! So the Little Green Men and ET are from the same planet??? Excuse me while I continue to be fascinated by the Rocket Rods track. Vertical Limit. I went on Space Mountain a bagillionty times! *clap* *clap* This Star Tours is even better because of themed trash cans. (No, I don't really think so. It is just as awesome as the one in Florida.) Love this view! Hi Rex! The Disneyland All-American College Band is one of my favorite entertainment offerings to experience at Disneyland! They really are a talented group of young musicians! And they do a medley of Disney Parks music! Brings a smile to my face just thinking about it... But not as much as these Carthay Circle House Biscuits. Or these INCREDIBLE Sriracha Duck Wings. I'd eat the bones if I could. It is just that amazing! One of the best pieces of salmon I've ever had. My waitress convinced me to spend a little more and get the Grill Angus Rib-eye with sauteed mushrooms ragu, red flame grapes and bleu cheese. Easily the BEST steak dish I've had in my life thus far. This atrium stuns me. And yes, I'm that guy that takes photos of fancy stairwells. The Carthay Circle Restaurant's entrance has a Club 33 lobby-esque feel to it... Back over to Cars Land for some evening photography fun. I missed this so much! Expansive! The neon really brings the land to life at night! I want it all. I want it all! And I want it now! I love Mater's Petting Zoo! Disneyland fireworks can be seen from the entrance of Cars Land. It isn't elecTRONica but I still thoroughly enjoy the Mad T Party. The House of Cards makes for a great second stage venue. The main stage hosts Alice and the band as well as the White Rabbit DJ. It really does look neat at night. Oddly familiar! Dive! Bill! Dive! Bill! DIVE! The Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is all kinds of awesome. As is this. The mountain looks amazing after last year's refurbishment. Just a'strollin' down Main Street USA. Back in Cars Land... Disney Detail. So clever! I want this attraction. Even if it is just this attraction, I want it. Tire topiaries! Time to go visit my old friend Mara. The Indiana Jones Adventure's queue is amazing. Seriously amazing. Don't look into the eyes of Mara! Way to go Sallah!

(Continued) It may be cute enough to pet, but Sleeping Beauty Castle is still gorgeous at night. I mean, look at this! The following morning we took advantage of the short lines at Luigi's Flying Tires... They now brief you before boarding the tires to give you a better idea on what in the world you are supposed to do. It is the little things like this that make me smile. I never thought the removal of the beach balls would make such a difference, but the ride felt more high energy than before, and it took a lot less time to load. Ended up riding this attraction five times over the course of my visit--it is just that fun! Also a favorite of mine for Cars Land. For Larry. I've not even watch all of the Cars Toons yet and I love the amount of detail in this queue. So much to take in! And a great view looking forward! Mater's homemade jukebox is awesome! Such a fun Whip. It isn't the Cars franchise that makes me love this land so much... It is the insane attention to detail and immersion. Red! Time for one of my favorite things to do on Paradise Pier! Intamin goodness! Here... We... GO!!! Down! Up! Up-down! Fun Fact: Grizzly Peak ended up being the main image on a wine label I had to design for a wine class I took in college. It wouldn't be a trip to Disney California Adventure without several trips to the Pacific Wharf Cafe for Boudin Bakery sourdough and clam chowder! Seriously one of my favorite quick service items on the planet! This attraction is full of win. Love this so much! Fill'er up! The way the queue intertwines with the ride path is incredible. And that beautiful bridge. This ride blows my mind. hehe I doubt anyone could argue that Cadillac Range's size and scope isn't insanely impressive. No stone unturned. Beautiful. Fully beautiful! I want this in my backyard next. So many things to enjoy over at the Cozy Cone! Another great hangout spot on the backside of Grizzly River Run. Over in Disneyland I couldn't help but enjoy the retro factor of the recently-returned mountain climbers. Vertical Limit? I upheld my tradition of patronizing Shrunken Ned while in Adventureland. The Casey Jr. Circus Train can't be described--it has to be experienced. The way the Canal Boats are wrapped around by Casey Jr. is fabulous. So many great views to take in! It fits! Take the tunnel!!! And one of the best Fantasyland dark rides in Disneyland... Love it! One of my favorite attractions in all of Disneyland!

^The crowds will definitely be larger (and more obnoxious) during "UCF Knight." As an alumnus I went there each year and found that it was never as enjoyable as any other night, partly because of the crowds and partly because of the type of the crowd there. If there's one night to try and avoid, it is that one.

^Especially if when re-assembling the ride they expanded the layout as was originally planned for Hard Rock Park to take place during the following few seasons.
