Photo TR: SFMM and Disneyland

[Director_Guy]

"Okay... I know California's awesome... but if I don't get to a theme park soon I'm going to esplode."

Yay!

Hey looky at X! It's all closed and whatnot.

Some new colors too, yay!

 

 

Figures.

Yeah, I see you there.

Viper, you too? Well, at least you look all shiny.

 

Mother and Kay climbing the mountain of death.

Didn't ride Tatsu, today. Line was very long. In fact it seemed as if the entire park was in line for Tatsu and not for any thing else.

One station is prolly why it was so long, though.

 

This is my "I hate Ninja with one train" face. Take note.

This is my "Ninja is pretty awesome" face. Double notes.

This face, however... you must promise to forget.

 

Okay fine! I'll finally get on this thang. Stop yelling at myself!

Without the flash, it's pitch black here.... safe?

Superloud. Fast, floaty, nothin' special.

 

Holiday Grafitti.

 

Time for some Revenge.

Kay is frightened. Hooray!

No line!

 

Whelp.... there goes my last chance.

 

 

Walking back towards Colossus, this interesting sculpture caught my attention.

Perhaps a metaphor for our countries current state. Buy another hot dog, fatty.

 

Mmm.... hot dog fatties.

 

Oh! I also found this totally wicked sick leaf.

Looked like it was splattered in blood and it made me happy.

With Colossus having no line the leaf rode shotgun....

Leaf Love!

Wee hoo!

Notice the whites in her eyes. She has begun the process of what we call the Colossus Coma. Very tragic.

 

 

Scream! was next. It was great.

 

But not as great as the leaf!

 

The monolith.

No line and this kids still insist on line jumping.

"Where is everybody?!"

See? Six Flags can theme... kind of.

This fits the theme of... Blue, no?

 

Hey look! A coaster from my childhood!

Ah, nostalgia.

 

Still "alive".

 

Hapiness is a warm gun.

 

Gold Rusher causes permanent insanity.

 

I'm not sure which face this is. I'll leave it up to you.

Hold onto your denchers, kids.

 

The late afternoon had begun and we had already done everythig worth doing, at least what was open.

 

We decided to grab a few rides on Scream!

 

It's getting late and for some reason, it's 50 degrees in California. Maybe it's time we head out.

 

Poor disgusting Flashback.

 

"My coaster cravings have subsided for now. I needed that fix."

 

Good night, Six Flags Magic Mountain.

------------------------------------------------

 

Hey James is here!

 

Our drive to Magic Mountain was a fun and constantly on edge ride thanks to James's ghetto wagon having a hood that likes to pop up while driving.

 

See? There it goes.

 

It was kinda crowded outside the park and I must say I was surprised to hear that the park didn't open until 10:30.

 

James, running to Tatsu (using the Revolution flashpass entrance as a short cut), keeps himself cool by panting.

 

Lucky us, Tatsu wasn't even open yet. We were first in line.

 

James stands in awe of the mighty pretzel.

 

Hey look! Politically incorrect cartoon characters!

 

James sexy with Tatsu.

 

And me... uh... I think.

 

Walking down the hill of death.

 

"I'm too tall for this."

Goldrusher. Well known for it's legroom.

How dramatic!

 

James points out the irony of the no smoking sign in the smoking section.

 

Future reference: This benches are NOT bolted down.

 

Urban art.

 

"Hey.... What's that thing?"

 

"Huh? That? Oh that's only the best stand-up ever."

 

 

 

The Boy Wonder and The Boy Underwear.

 

Oh yeah! I caught this kid trying to take a piss on Scream! Ha ha. He was pretty embarrassed .

 

Parking lot or not. It's still fun.

 

This picture is obsolete now, considering Flashy has left us completely by now, but it's nice to note that they were rippin' it apart all day.

 

Tilt.

 

It was starting to get busy. Even Revolution had a line. We decided a flashpass would be a prudent idea.

 

"Must touch fake animal!"

 

Goliath seemed like a good idea.

 

Special thanks to the flashpass.

 

Oh, and if you look carefully, you can see a monkey up in the far corner...ish.

 

Lemme eat your face!

 

Goliath from SECRET LOCATIONZ

 

Why is this open in 50 degree weather?

 

James wants to steal the coasters.

 

That's as far as it goes anymore.

 

"Who the f*** is this kid?!"

 

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

 

Twisty chops.

 

"I like rolley coasters"

 

"Let's go throw balls at kids!"

 

SUCK

 

All of a sudden we hear this loud GEEEEEEEEERRRRRRROOOOWW KABOMP!.

It was the sound of this piece being cut and falling into itself.

 

My God, they mangled the crap out of this guy.

 

Magical floating balls!

 

Ohhh pretty.

 

We caught a ride to the top of the evil mountain to see if Ninja was open yet. It wasn't.

 

So we went by the Psyclone grave site. James was actually akin to this disasterpiece.

 

And look. The Vu-ski.

 

Them gals aint wearin' no panties.

 

Gotham City junky.

 

Random abstraction.

 

Look at the size of this smoking section! Holy carp!

 

Hmm, starting to get late....

Even Colossus has a longish line...

Let's do Goliath and head out...

 

And we did....

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

"I see it, James! It's right there!"

"As soon as we get through this bloody crowd of ugly we will be at the happiest place on earth."

 

This family was incredible. The all had the super power of looking ridiculous and being able to stand out in a crowd.

 

As you can see, there were already mobs of people here.

 

HI WALT!

 

"She just said she wanted to eat my soul!"

 

Dear lord! Looks like we're not getting on Indiana Jones any time soon.

My God, look at this mess of people!

Good lord! It's like a swarm of ants climbing over a dropped chocolate bar.

 

HMH only has... and hour wait... Let's do that.

James pouts because of the mobs of people.

I love when they re-do the mansion to be like The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's like combing my two favorite things in the world into one big happy awesome amazing thing.

 

This is cool, you can see The Haunted Mansion in his eye!

 

Mine said I'm with stupid.

 

Gingerbread!

Hidden Mickey! Hidden Mickey! Right there! See? See?! I found an ACTUAL Hidden Mickey this time!

 

Ick, there are just so many people here.

 

Let's not let that stop our fun. Let's grab a single rider on Splash Mountain.

It's the truth. It's actual.

 

We figured the best way to get away from the ugly crowds would be to venture over to Tom Sawyer Island.

They had some awesome new stuff here related to Pirates of the Carribean.

 

It's hard to do these without a tripod.

"James! I'm stuck! Go on without me!"

Coolies.

"I'm in da ball!"

 

It's a little scary being in these caves. Especially when there's so many people.

Not to mention, being as tall as I am.

 

There was even a point where I wanted to get out of the cave, and a hoard of people came rushing in.

 

I saw a squirrel....

It was doin' like this!

 

This owl feels very uncomfortable right meow.

 

Lundy and Lundy. Here to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And we're all out of gum.

 

Hmmm.... the waterfall is off today.

 

I forgot to mention that we had chowed down on an amazing funnel cake at Magic Mountain the day before and it was delicious. I'm very sad to report that Disneyland's funnel cake was major suckage.

What's even worse is, it looks so delicious. But it's not.

 

Rasta mouse

 

The line for the subs was outrageous! You can even see it here stretching all along the side of Matterhorn reaching into Fantasyland.

 

After molesting a giant Lego,

We park-hopped over into DCA.

 

However we did not ride this,

and it made me sad.

 

On the list of things ridden in DCA,

was this.

 

Single Rider. An impatient bastard's best friend.

I'd like to add, that this thing was very nifty and should be in all roller coasters.

Lucky us, the single rider line still let us sit next to each other during our ride. It was great!

 

We then walked around some more, looking at stuff...

 

We also tried out our MAD surfing skillz.

I, obviously, lack all skillz. And I call my self a Californian. Shame.

I thought this was pretty cool, it squirted out water when you pressed down on it.

"Who the f*** are these kids?!"

 

"Hey, boss! I spy nudes!"

 

Bah ha ha ha! Captions can not do enough justice for this photo.

 

We then left Disney's California Adventure, back into Disneyland

It was just way too crowded and not enough exciting things to do there. Plus James wanted to get to Toontown before it closed.

 

Getting off the monorail I notice that even at Disney, the LA traffic sucks...

 

Toontown would be a great place to live if you're drunk. All the lines would be straight.

James noticed a slight miscalculation in scale when they were building this person's apartment.

Someone please tell me... what the hell?

James, a coke fiend in Toontown. Tapping into water colors, Eddie?

 

Vrooooo, errrt vrooooooo! RRRRRTTttt ERrrrtttt, thubb thubb......vrrooooo.

Dear God there's nobody driving! AHHH!

The only way to drive.

Minnie's well needed some cleaning.

 

"King o' de castle, king o' de castle."

Sexy?

I didn't have the heart to tell him it wasn't real.

Look how amazing this picture spot is! It's so picture worthy! OMG!

James loves lamp.

"Almost got? Oh crap, the fuzz! Cheese it!"

 

The only picture I took of us on Pirates of the Caribbean.

 

Well, it's getting dark around the magic kingdom, why don't we hit some rides while people are waiting for Fantastmic! or something.

 

Splash without single rider was now down to fifteen minutes. Score!

We even met this most excellent castmember who had the amazing name of "Sin". Go her!

Since there was no single rider, we rode together this time.

"Grrr, I am wet!"

"Oh! I am wet!"

 

Indiana Jones fastpass time has come ahahahaha!

"Chris! Chrriiiisssss. Hey! ahhhhhh Hi."

"This is why we can't have nice things!"

James says, "I want to touch!"

Spoooookkkkkyyyy

Touch.

Foreshadowing the awesome things to come.

 

Indy was amazing as always. And since Jungle Cruise was right there with zero wait, we hopped on.

This was our skipper. I don't recall his name at all, but it definitely wasn't cool like Sin's.

 

Hey, James. It's time for Matterhorn!

James excitement was so much, that he made the guy behind him drop down dead immediately following this picture.

Matty looks kind of gross. I mean, I know she's almost 50, but c'mon.

James-sledding.

Gopher!

 

More castle stuff

 

I am so tired.

Let's to Big Thunder and call it a day.

Weeeeee!

 

What a great day.

Good night, Walt!

 

After an exhausting day of amazing Disneyland fun and putting up with swarms of people, it's nice to get some sleep. In fact that's what took so long getting this up, I've been sleeping this whole time.

It's always great to see my cousin James, and it's even better to go to theme parks with him. I couldn't ask for a better way to end my "coastering" each year than to go to Disneyland and it's even better when Magic Mountain is included in my last set of outings.

 

I hope next year will be as amazing as last year, because it'll be tough to beat.

 

But who knows,

The night is still young.

 

Take care folks. See you next season.

 

The End.

[Mr.Six]

Hey dude!

 

Nice photos. Those shots of Disneyland are insane, I've never seen it that busy in person. When Jahan and I went last month I thought it was packed, but not to that extent. Either way, Disney knows how to crowd manage and it can still be a great day!
