Not to mention when citing a delay like Gold Striker, you're negating the fact that it was mainly due to the last minute additions of noise walls, thanks to the neighboring tech companies.

Let's remember that even though the footprint for the Boomerang ride is small, the ride replacing it can expand beyond it. A bigger ride may only need Boomerang's footprint for its station.

Yeah, same here. Man, the callouses I'd develop playing all that pinball! Great post, OP.

I wonder if they're just props for the queue, or set pieces for the ride? Either way, I pooped a little.

AT-AT's! Great update, COASTER FREAK11!

That's plenty of time for Disney. Time won't hurt the success of the new make-over, it boils down to the vision the creators had for the ride and how they were able to translate/execute it. According to the official park website, it has been removed as under refurbishment 3/23/17

Yeah, I hate all that scaffolding, just makes it look like it's still under construction. hahahahahaha It doesn't look anything like the concept art yet, but there's still a lot of time Now we're making sense.

Echoing everyone else here, great TR!

I agree. It's pointless to complain about "sight lines" in an active construction zone.

Wait...they had a male cruise director that wasn't gay? Our straight friends got into the Love and Marriage game (which he hosted), so we stayed to watch that. . and he made *many* references to his wife while doing the game show. (and yes, we were the ONLY bears from the group that stayed, as he didn't not pick a gay couple, so many who had gone to see it got up and left) Maybe he voted to make cruises great again...

Sunday games are over by the time Haunt starts. Sunday nights are a great night for short lines.

Funny, I was just going to mention 70k tons of metal. I want to attend next year, but am going to try and play it if possible.

You mean, she's not popular for her award winning personality?! And here I thought she was the songbird of the new generation... Forget her... huge tracks of land. What about those flat rides?

People in Orlando = used to tropical storms/hurricanes, humidity, etc People in Orange County = freak out and forget how to drive when it sprinkles outside

Totally more off-topic...

The first weekend in March isn't typically too bad for crowds. You are correct about Pirates being closed for refurb along with Matterhorn. From the restaurant, you can see the preload queue, the boat launch, and the swamp area. After that, the rest of the ride drops below your view. I'd say it's still worth going, and you still have a lot of rides to choose from. Are you visiting DCA as well? Yes, I will be visiting DCA as well. I'll probably be spending most of my time at Disneyland, however, especially with no Tower of Terror. I'm looking forward to seeing the Star Wars Land construction! The park (along with California) has been subjected to lots of rain, and in some instances, has closed early. Just set your expectations if this happens, but so far the forecast looks clear of rain around the time of your trip. Yes, it sure has been rainy lately, and I heard about the early closings. I'd honestly be fine with rain as long as the park is still open, as that tends to lessen crowds. This. I enjoy rainy days at Disneyland, the lines are short and you're already primed for Splash Mountain. Pack a pancho!

I would imagine it being very, very low. It would be easier for the park to design a new coaster/ride around whatever structures are currently located in the area they are considering. Given Goliath's popularity, the cost of testing the ground/zoning/permit for a new tunnel, etc. it just doesn't make sense to me.

Was this the ride operator?!

Pirates should be reopening on March 16th as it will celebrate its 50th anniversary, Matterhorn is closed on weekdays at the moment but is open on the weekends. This comes directly from a cast member at the resort. Have a great weekend. As stuff goes around here at TPR, I'd trust the Disneyland calendar for refurbishment info vs. the dippin dots guy As it currently stands, the refurb list for the weekend of your trip looks like the following:

They do a buffet in between some days towards the end of October. Nothing in the park will be open, you'll be cleared out just like it's regular park close. There is a restaurant in Levi's that is open during this time, or stuff just a 15-20 minute walk away. You can attend with a platinum pass They offer the boo-fet during Haunt, just not towards the end of October. While Haunt is a separate ticketed event, it is included with your Platinum pass.

Yup. Someone left my mixtape on in their vehicle, and the inevitable happened.

I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is going to be an unforgettable trip. I hope you find the healing and distraction you need. I too would like to see a TR of your cruise. Make sure you get plenty of reaction photos!
