WillMontu Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I went down to WDW yesterday with Erik Johnson to hit a few Disney parks. I know that there are tons of WDW TR's posted, but I've thrown in a few little surprises too. Animal Kingdom -Took a few POV's on the rides -Yeti-Ball has cloned himself! -I got the other Primeval Whirl credit -Kali River Rapids helped to finish off my video camera (which died again). It had also died on the Wheel of Death at Southport, but I think it's time for a new camera -We saw animals this time (the last time I visited, the only animal we saw was Robb) Magic Kingdom -Rode both sides of Space Mountain. Front seat is impressive - lots of headchoppers. Jerky, but smooth -Splash Mountain was closed. I got a shot of the empty ride but the picture didn't come out. Sorry Dan -Pooh - I had never ridden Mr. Toad, but Erik suggested I ride this. Okay ride, but nothing spectacular -Small World - We thought it would be a good idea, but they were stacking boats back to the coaster section. I've still got that song stuck in my head -Thunder Mountain - Even the Fastpass line was long -Jungle Cruise - I think some of the skippers felt more at home on Jaws. Our skipper even bashed Disney a little bit -Dole Whip Thank you for reading. Suggestions, comments, criticisms, etc. are appreciated It takes a whole stack of Disneyland castles to fill the display X-mas tree at night The castle at night Main Street by night So what is this brainfreeze stuff you tell me of? Another TPR/Disney tradition Our skipper was really into it, mentioning locations of the future Disney gift stores, that is does cost an arm and a leg to visit the park, and the anti-aircraft hippos Jungle Cruise at night was an interesting experience. Ever been to www.coasterporn.com? I hadn't ridden Pirates since 1997. I took some pictures, but they didn't come out very well. This ride also has some Hidden Donkeys Tombstones? Isn't that a brand of pizza? Haunted Mansion was running well, though some of the soundtrack needs some work It's Donkey-Ball Until they start stacking the boats like Knott's Berry Farm. Talk about torture It seems innocent enough I've done this ride before, but we did it anyway. I had yet to do Mr. Pooh's Wild Ride This is the famed "Donkey restroom" Alton Towers had a zip-line on its castle as well The original design for EPCOT didn't call for a giant golf ball, or a magic wand for that matter On ride of the Peoplemover. I'm assuming that this ride uses some form of LIM's Disney has several "Hidden Donkeys" throughout the parks It's the Peoplemover...THROUGH THE TREES!! One of Elissa's friends was here, but as soon as I mentioned Balder he wouldn't speak to me again MK's Christmas tree The north wing (?) is still standing We spent the rest of the day at Magic Kingdom Yet more Christmas stuff Finally got that other Primeval Whirl credit What kind of theming is this supposed to be? It would look better at a Six Flags or Cedar Fair park The elephants remind us of Robb, but that's nothing new I heard that giraffes reminded Robb of Steve Nuss (aka. MONTUMBA aka IOAddict). They remind me of Casey This was my first time doing the Safari ride I was told that this was a Dan Friendly water ride. Maybe it is, but my video camera died again (the second time it died at AK). Time to get a new camera Such as shown here. Yeti Ball has cloned himself! Respect the Yeti. He has special powers GPS is a tool used for people to track where they found animal poop The line moves fairly quickly, leaving little time to actually look into the details of the queue First ride we hit as EE. Fastpass meant several hours, but the standby line was about 10 minutes and the S&P line even less This was a new bathroom credit for Erik Johnson Disney still has its Christmas decorations up. How's it going Joey? The marathon meant that everyone had to take the parking lot trams to the entrance I remember when some Florida parks only charged $5 for parking This morning, WDW was holding its annual marathon. I don't like to run myself. My bicycle is faster What happened here? I spent the night before helping my brother build his K-Nex coaster. Instead of going by the book, we decided on a Euro-Fighter instead
TheStig Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Yay for the marathon people! My cross country team and I were there, I ran the half marathon the day before and 3 people ran the full marathon yesterday, one of which did the Goofy Challenge which is both the half and full Marathon in one weekend.

Erik Johnson Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 I might as well add a few pictures to this thread. Yes, the typical Stitch's Escape queue. Yet another Pixar themed attraction in Tomorrowland. It survived another year. What in the world was all this about? Oh boy! More evening events! Not a single hippo here is named Lou. He now has to resort to his still camera. The Kali river rapids ride finished off Will's camera. What did you leave behind Will? Yes, Will did film two complete onride POV's of EE. We basically had to play red light/green light in order to get through. Yes, the marathon track went right in front of Animal Kingdom.
knottslover77 Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Great update! Did your camara break? --Jay
Homer Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Better caption: "I'll plant my plank of wood into a princess anyday!" or "Live the town scene of POTC!" Great TR so far.
Carnage Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Great update!Did your camara break? --Jay You just looked at the pictures didn't you?? That was answered 4 times in the thread before you asked that.
TheStig Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Oh yeah well I have a Pirates and Princess' MEDAL! Yeah dont hate. Oh, and Cannon camcorders suck ass, buy a Sony. Colin C
Golfie Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Dude, I am totally getting a Yetiball next time I'm at AK.
RRollergod Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 When I went last week I learned that they are theming the north wing of the contemporary to a Pirates theme, no joke! Should open in July they said. Also the line for stitch got to one hour!
