Hersheypark has sent us a press release about this year's holiday activities.

1. Yes. 2. Much of the focus of the event was on the original trilogy, specifically Empire Strikes Back, as it was the 35th anniversary of the film's original release. Even George Lucas admitted that the generation that grew up with the original trilogy loves the originals and hates the prequels; the kids that grew up with the prequels don't like the original trilogy and the kids that have grown up watching The Clone Wars on TV aren't interested in any of the films. I actually had an incredible time at Last Tour--it ranks up there as my second favorite Disney-run event I've had the chance to have gone to (bested only by the 25th anniversary of Epcot, although I'm a bit biased on that one). So anyways... You all thought that this report was over? I still have three days worth of photos to share! Here's Day 2 (my shortest day of the convention)... Why can't I have nice things? There's something that caught my attention in this photo and it isn't Star Wars related. It starteds with a "Fl" and ends with an "ynn's Arcade." People were ogling over this sub all week. "This is not the park you're looking for..." OMG! And Ewok Jedi padawan! Greatest combo ever! "You sir. You need to stop staring at my lite-brite." Mosh pit on Jedi. Since the person who got me into the event needed some photos of the merchandise panel, I went. These guys make Disney/Star Wars merch. Fun stuff! I'm not ashamed to say I bought one of these while there. If they overlaid our animatronic Stitch at Magic Kingdom, Stitch's Great Escape would be so pro! Huey, Lewis and Dewey are Jawas in an upcoming figure set. Star Wars has made its way to Vinylmation... They even took a few minutes to share a few Indy/Disney items coming out soon. Notice that the crystal skull belongs to Stitch. Now here's where it got really interesting. See the five extra Starspeeder 1000 designs? Those are competing companies' ships... And they WILL show up in the new ride. Plot detail? I'd like to think so. Everyone that stayed for the end of the panel was given a free Disney/Star Wars poster. I got the one in the top middle. And hidden in some of those free posters were vouchers for a limited edition Boba Fett diecast Disney racer. Surprisingly enough, I got one! One last surprise came in the form of a live appearance by the living character, R2-MK, Jedi Mickey's astromech droid. I think he's looking at me... Probably means I should leave. "Come to Crazy Watto's Junk Shop!" A little out of place, methinks. I didn't know NASA existed a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away. Have I mentioned that I love Wampas? A look at some of the Disney Celebration V exclusives... More progress completed on the chalk drawing... Walking into the Star Wars Laser Tag area, I could have sworn I was watching Predators. hehe "Oah my ghowsh! Its'h full shize!" Now this is what I really came here for (today)! They actually borrowed the host from the American Idol Experience to be the warm up host for all of the events that took place in the Chapin Theater (the main theater). You might have actually seen him in a Bryan and Adam Show update a while ago... While we're on that topic, when will we see an update for that show? Darth Maul gets interviewed in the pre-show, and then gives a little kid in the front row a Darth Maul action figure. It was an "aww" kind of Star Wars moment. Jay Laga'aia (played Captain Typho in Attack of the Clones) served as the main host and moderator for all events on the Chapin Theater stage. To start, they showed us a preview of Robot Chicken Empire (Star Wars) III. "Get your asthmatic a$$ back here or else I'll tell everybody what a whiney ***** you were about Padamame or Panda Bear! Or whatever her name is! *whispers* Oh, he's crying!" Since filming had begun only a few weeks before the event, they didn't have much footage to share, so they gave us an animatic of a scene from the new episode, complete with the recorded narration that will go with the eventually completed animation. Anakin looks so happy for a destroyed human being... The heavens shined down upon the panel, as the guys behind Robot Chicken walked in. Notice that they are wearing the vintage Yoda hats! Just listening to the group was a show in itself! Seth Green = Comedic genius. Who have we here? Hi Elissa! This is producer of the new Star Wars animated comedy that Seth Green and George Lucas are working on together. I don't collect them, but here's a look at a few of the Vinyls to come from the new Star Wars collection. That's all for Day 2!

I was actually able to run over to the Magic Kingdom after class to try out Space Mountain with the new audio. Having just ridden Disneyland's version of the popular ride (multiple times) during my California trip, I was convinced that the West Coast version of the ride has just slightly bested our ride thanks to its audio and quality projections. After riding Florida's Space Mountain today, I can honestly say that we are once again on top, without much contest. The new audio is just that--its brand new. Best described as a "rave in space," the new audio is triggered by each train's passing, making for a more personal audio experience, although the groovy backtrack (with an ominous sounding "Space. Space. Space Moutain" DJ'd into the track) runs overhead so that the entire dome is engulfed in sound. It used to be that in space, everyone could hear you scream. Now, all you hear is a fantastic, catchy audio track that you can't help but bounce to as you fly out of your seat.

(Continued) [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=IMGP2747_xhpp[/coastertube] No Fetts down here... I bought the poster for my apartment... This was far too amazing not to buy! If I had a significant other, I'd buy this. Do you love scoundrels? More clever shirts for sale... It smelled like a jerk with a failed singing career... Not even gunna try to describe this one... As much as I hate the guy, this was funny. Which are you? In my Star Wars Stories memoir (yes, I went on camera to tell my Star Wars story), I was asked who my favorite character was. The Wampa is my first, followed by Luke Skywalker. His arm comes off! How cute is that? See? All better! I actually ate here two of the four days of the event, and it was delicious! Sounds worse than it really is... You may be surprised to know that the busiest section of the entire show floor was the section for tattoos. I wampa. You wampa. He, she, me, it Wampas. Wampalogy. The study of Wampa. Haven't you heard of this before? This guy was doing Clone Wars chalk art during the convention. This was the piece on Day 1. The Lucasarts booth was incredibly busy thanks to a playable demo of The Force Unleashed II being available. Oh, and the Playstation Home Mos Eisley Cantina environment? Already downloaded it! The Lego booth was raising money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital by creating an Empire Strikes Back mural out of legos. Here are the official "deets..." Photo ops a plenty here on the show floor! Some of the fan costumes were extremely impressive! Glad to see Florida represented, but I haven't gone that far yet. Do you see what I see? Its a credit! "I have no idea why I'm happy in this doorway..." Just hangin' with my main man Wampa. GFLUG (don't ask me to tell you what that is) built several detail lego sets of memorable Star Wars scenes, including the Mustafar Duel from Revenge of the Sith. A photo op to simulate an opening scene from Empire Strikes Back with your own camera. They had a Star Wars Committment Chapel, complete with Star Wars/Force-inspired vows! The Living Character C-3PO & R2D2 animatronics from the parks made their way across the convention center as well. At the first Disney/Star Wars panel, Imagineer Jason Surrell talked about the genesis of Star Tours, the Disney/Lucas relationship and even a little about Indiana Jones and Disney. That was a while ago. We were shown some great concept art from the original ride... Looks pretty close to what we got, right? It is amazing how close the concept is to the eventual execution! This didn't quite make the cut, at least not yet. Notice Darth Vader in the top right hand screen? Again, extremely close to what came to be. The huge Death Star Trench Run set used to film the iconic sequence featured in Star Tours. And since Jason Surrell wasn't there when Star Tours opened, he brought in a guest to talk about the ride from back then. That guest happened to be Anthony Daniels, the voice and body of C3PO! Between Star Tours and Captain EO, Tomorrowland used to be filled with rainbow clothes! Anthony Daniels was incredibly engaging, absolutely hilarious and unsurprisingly humble. He seemed genuinely happy to be there with us, and it was a truly incredible experience to have him at the panel. He recited some of his lines from the queue, including ones that he recording in French for the Disneyland Paris version of the ride. Anthony Daniels is definitely not a boring speaker, to say the least. Then they showed us a preview for the new version of the ride... We may go to Coruscant... It has been confirmed that a podracing sequence on Tatooine will be including in the ride. And then the panel wrapped up, marking the beginning of the end of my first day at Star Wars Celebration V. It wouldn't be a Star Wars report if there weren't slave Leias.... So I got you three! And an extra four just because I like you so much! (Not you! I meant her over there!)

A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to go to Star Wars Celebration V, the "ultimate fan event" for Star Wars fans like myself. With several juicy new details on Disney/Star Wars and Indiana Jones crossovers, plus Star Tours news, there was plenty of theme park related aspects to the event. Unlike most of my reports that have a lengthy writeup, I'm going to let my photos tell the story this time around (since there are so many). At the end of the report, be sure to tell me if you like my reports like this or with the more detailed writeup as well. [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=IMGP2885_7po7[/coastertube] My first photo at Star Wars Celebration V had to be with a homemade R2-D2... It was pretty cool. The Orange County Convention Center updated its restroom signs to show characters from the Clone Wars series. They were broadcasting throughout the event. Too bad I don't pay for radio... Yo ho! Yo ho! The FM life for me... This has to be the coolest toy EVER. You put on a little headpiece with sensors that read your mind's beta waves. Using those waves, you control the ascent and descent of the ball in the tube by powering the fan beneath it (wirelessly). If you haven't figured out by now, I like to take bizarre photos and share them. I got to sit in a full size Hoth speeder recreation! Stormtroopers on the roam... It's just like my Bar Mitzvah! A clever ad for the Last Tour to Endor event, over by the Disney booth. I bought my tickets the day they went online... I know, I'm cool. Something about this diorama just made me smile. This trip report is actually theme park-relative, as you'll see as we progress. I waited in line at the Disney booth for nearly 25 minutes just to get the Starspeeder 1000 preview vehicle, a Last Tour to Endor shirt, a few pins, a Shadow Trooper Donald figure and some pins. Just a few things. Star V Celebration Wars Yoda was surprised when this man did some magic. His hand disappeared! A member of the Belgian 501st legion made this mask (and the costume that went with it) by hand. Role models. "Why are you wearing a Lite Brite?" This was the front of a very long line to get onto the show floor. Thanks to media badge, I walked straight in the minute it opened. Look at the spuds! The Star Wars Fan Film Theater played some of my favorite fan films including Pink 5 and my all-time favorite, Wampa. SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment was present at the Star Wars Family Room with some friendly creatures. See, theme park related! I want an anteater. Really. Buy me one for Hannukah. Now. A cool exhibit with a few things I hadn't seen before. I found this humorous, though I can't exactly say why. A year and a half too young. To work off my frustration at not being able to see Hoth, I went and played a demo of the original Star Wars: The Force Unleashed in the LucasArts Game Room. I was able to get a peek into the Ice Bar during its initial setup... But I don't see a Wampa here. There he is! Take a wild guess and tell me how many of the picture imperials are real people. The 501st Legion had a huge exhibit displaying some of their best costumes and other creations. Remembering a fallen soldier. For the first time ever, Lucas ok'd the creation of multiple art pieces from a single canvas--the stormtrooper helmet. Dubbed the TK Project, the auctioning of these helmets benefited the Make-A-Wish Foundation, raising over $50,000 in one day. Seriously, I was sold at this one. And it was only the first one in the line. How's it going Hollywood? Simple but complex. One of my favorites of the pack. Supposedly, you could actually play this... If I had the money, I would have bought this in a heartbeat. Theme park related... I'm still proving the point here. Though I never thought it possible, zombies actually made it into the Star Wars universe this year in the book Death Troopers. I think that this was the most unique of the group. Better than any "Coasters" diner at any Cedar Fair park. Need I say anything? Vader's Fist is growing stronger every year... That's no moon... That's an inflatable. Ads for the Last Tour to Endor were all over the convention center. Star Wars has its kinks. I just HAD to include this, for the kicks. Apparently, a lot of people are fans of the Fett. Clever...

This topic has been merged with the new official discussion thread for the park. Feel free to continue posting in here from now on.

Even worse, John Fitzgerald is the guy who was involved in sinking Hard Rock Park and Freestyle Music Park (and his own company bio prides his involvement in the latter project). By the end of the decade, I'm going to be able to write a book on the [negative] impact that park has made on the industry...

Wild Adventures has sent us their latest press release, this time regarding their next charitable event, "Red, White and You!"

You have no idea how wrong you are... Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride is one of the coolest home-built rides out there, and the quality for such is pretty incredible. Plus, no photos or video can do justice for the scariest, funniest, most bizarre dark ride I've ever been on. The ending alone was worth every cent.

http://www.howloscream.com/tampa#/home/ Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has updated its website to include information on all of this year's houses, scarezones, shows and more. Houses My X: Revenge Rocks- My X is the hottest underground band in town, and its devoted fans are dying to meet Sylvie and her killer group.

Then, smile through the pain and snap the perfect party pic with the ∆E∆ girls at an exclusive photo op thats not for the faint of heart.

^I won't speak for anyone else on TPR (in terms of the TPR crew), but typically in the past, if the group has gone for Horror Nights, it has been a private thing that goes "unscheduled." Without sounding disrespectful, if they end up going (during any year), you probably won't know about it until you see the trip report, unless you are lucky enough to run into them in the parks. Going to Halloween Horror Nights is well worth the money (especially if you have the money to pay for the express pass). The quality of the event is extremely high, and there is so much to do in addition to the park's normal attractions, it really is a must-see experience. That being said, I find myself uncomfortable going to parks alone (in general), and I find the events to be more fun when you can see others get scared (and have others see you freak out), but that is just me. I know plenty of people that hit Horror Nights alone, so don't let my thoughts deter you. If you are here during the event, take the time and give it a try--I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

^I completely agree. Hard Rock failed to bring family into the equation in their rides, atmosphere and edgy in jokes (I mean, grEAT MEals diner). They thought that the "Hard Rock Bears" that they threw together at the last minute, coupled with the Banana Splits (which at least for me were completely alien) would be enough to suffice. They even dropped in a cheap kids area at the last minute to try and add some balance, but it was flawed from the start.

^^^The only reason I see them looking at the park is to rip it apart like Geauga Lake for the betterment of the rest of the chain.

(Continued) How would you feel being strapped to the front of a ship for fifty five years? I smell gold coins! Unfortunately, you aren't able to go into Fort Wilderness anymore. From what I can tell, this is the biggest change that came to the island during its pirate overlay. The Dead Man's Chest is a cool little prop that pulses to the beat of Davy Jone's heart. This little cave has a sensor that triggers the hanging skeleton hand of Ragetti... As well as the popping up of a skeleton head of Pintel. Another trick sensor. Extra details in the cave make the place a little more impressive... Then there is this nifty little animatronic, which is awesome to see in person. The magic behind the magic. Its all in the detail. It even moves... Now all we need is an animatronic donkey. One last look at the Fantasmic stage up close. Hey Andrew! On my last day at Disney, I saw Captain EO three more times. I love this show! Ewok fancy fulfilled. Before my camera died, I was able to get a few more photos in... Our monorail doesn't do this. Midget Autopia tribute! Clever... I spy Rocket Rods track! Monorail Blue is so sleek looking. One last index photo for the road. Farewell to Disneyland for this trip (this is the last photo my camera took before dying at Disneyland). Universal was fortunate enough to get a few photos before my camera died for good. It wouldn't be a visit to Universal without a picture of the original globe. Such a big CityWalk. I'm jealous! They even rolled out the red carpet for us! Universal Studios Hollywood gets my automatic approval. And this is why we're here! "Here we are on the escalator ride! The escalator ride!" A special thanks to Joey for all of his help with the Gate A passes. It was great to finally meet you in person! They've added these 3-D glasses to the tour for King Kong 360 3-D. We're almost here! And the last photo taken of the trip, thanks to my camera dying for good.

^To answer your question, I want to say that I loved World of Color, but I know I'd be speared in the head for doing so. I'll break it down so that my answer is at least a little more justified beyond pure fanaticism. From a technical standpoint alone, World of Color is a marvel. Not because of its unique technologies because, at least from the outside, it can be seen that much of the technology employed was derived from Fantasmic. It is a marvel because of the sheer scale of the project, and the amount of integration between technologies and effects that come together to make it all work. To have over 120 colored nozzles, some of which have full range of motion, each set to perform its own routine amidst the larger program of the show, is nothing short of incredible to see. After seeing World of Color eight times during the course of the week (one night I saw it three times in a row from three different viewing angles), I feel that I've had a chance to absorb the show, and see it past the veil of pure "shock and awe" that comes from a 100-someodd foot wall of colorful water before me. To compare this to any water show seems to be cynical means to demean what it is, at least from a technical standpoint. To say that I'm hooked on the technical aspect alone for this show would be an understatement... So much so that I'll admit (for better or for worse), that much of the days following my return home were filled with thoughts of how I could replicate (on a much larger scale, and even smaller budget) some of the wonder of the show in the hopes that I could program it myself. And while I have come up with some ideas (some more fleshed out than others), it is one project that continually pops back into my head with a certain divine inspiration that I've not experienced for quite some time. Saying all of this, I feel like I'm in the film Inception. From an entertainment stand point, the story didn't really hit me until the third or fourth time, but to call it a story is a stretch. I spent some time wrapping my head around the idea that every Disney concept has a story, and while this is still the case here, it is far more literal in its execution. The story is really presented in the song and the visuals, but it really is more of an artful compilation of Disney Animations' best (with a strange bit of Pirates thrown in the mix), both in picture and in sound. Once I moved past that, I looked into what was shown, realizing that each time I saw it, especially from a different angle, I saw another dimension of detail that the Imagineers pushed into it. Little things like an arrow being show from the left-most screen which runs all the way to the right, hitting the Fun Wheel which triggers a target-like glimmer make the show have a return appeal that is strangely unique. Looking down on the show from the Grand Californian viewing area, it is possible to see the lighting patterns on the platform, which are just as, if not more complex than the focus and programing of the water jets. Even further, looking at the show from the other side of Paradise Pier (near California Screamin') gives you a taste of what the mass of water looks like as a whole. One more thing of note was being able to see what others around me experienced or how they reacted when seeing the show. Whether the greatest Disney fan or a casual guest, you could hear that sighs, "wows" and cheers at each of the show's various crescendos, and after seeing bouts of laughter, joy and even tears brought on to the general public by the show, I have a better appreciation of all that the Imagineers have delivered with this package. To make a very long explanation short, after seeing the show as many times as I did, I feel like I "get it." To say that it is the greatest thing I've ever seen would be an understatement, but it ranks up there for me as fantastic experience (one that I would certainly welcome in Florida) that I would go out of my way to see if I could. I am enticed by the technical details of the show, but the overall package just surprised me in a way that I didn't expect--and each experience resonated with me so much so that I can still recall each individual detail from the show that I noticed from each of the eight viewings. Nerdy shots are nerdy. OMG! I actually show up in one of my photos for once! Take the tunnel! Take the other tunnel! Take the lift hill! TPR Turtle Fancy satisfied. Details we don't have in Florida. Boo. To you. For some reason, I really like the way this one turned out... (Pun intended.) Queues that weave in and out of the ride layout are awesome. Snaps for Disneyland. The Indiana Jones Adventure is still one of the greatest Disney attractions I've experienced (although the one in Tokyo is even better). Detail overload. End of line. Indoor/outdoor theming is amazing. I'm gunna have a hallway like this in my future home, just with fibre-optic lighting in the path. "I know that there is no quirky co-star here with me, but that doesn't mean you have the right to stare!" This triggers the falling jeep and the extra T-Rex, right? Sallah is the man. That's all I've got to say about that. You are my hero Sallah! You pimp you. It reads: "Currently waiting for the next episode of the Bryan and Adam Show. Will wait 10 centuries more if I have to." As you may have guessed, I approve. The fedora brings out the green in my shirt. Shrunken Ned gave me a cure for Insomnia. Sadly it worked. Now my productivity has been cut in half, but I'm sure he's coming out "a head." Want. Thinking of Robb... I rubbed it the wrong way... Outta place. Outta time. I'll get to ride this eventually, right? I think we're getting closer. I smell some Pooh. Larry love. Get back! I'm a sailor on the edge, and I've got an oar! Oh Pooh. I'm not gunna lie to you. If it weren't for the Monte Cristo at Cafe Orleans, I would have bought the whole tray. Its a shame I hate caramel, otherwise I would have bought twelve. Considering the fact that I've yet to visit any other Tom Sawyer Island (including Florida's version), this was a first for me. In order to ensure the timeliness of the Columbia Sailing Ship and the Mark Twain, the raft to Pirate's Lair is on a time schedule, unlike the continuous operation of the rafts in Florida. Off we go! Oh wait. I'm not on the raft! Come back!!! Do you know where we are now? Any ideas? We are actually on the stage for Fantasmic! Something comes up from the floor here, and that is Fantasmic! Hello World! You stay classy, Planet Earth. Looks kind of wicked, doesn't it? Rope bridges are awesome. What else is new? If you push the pumps, you can actually drain the boat to see the loot beneath the depths... But then it fills up, which is not at all Fantasmic! See? It is possible for other people to enjoy Disneyland when I'm there. I'm not as awful as Bryan makes me out to be. The canoes were fun, just a little wet for my liking thanks to a few skippers in front of me that decided to paddle their water directly into my lap. "I never even got to see another episode of the Bryan and Adam Show!" Okay, I was faking. Will you still do the update? Traffic jams on Pontoon Bridges are amazing. Four adults in a single section of the bridge will cause a flood, and lots of water to come about your shoes. Tis fun. Try it out some day. I would have let go a long time ago. You're doing it wrong. Barnacle-y details...

Prowler is the only #1. (And I haven't even ridden it yet.)

I have updated the previous post (the one with all of the event info) to include some more newly released information, including a little more of a teaser for the Indiana Jones/Star Wars crossover show.
