Hey Everyone. Done with Potterland,Tiki Rooms, and Shanghi? Me too. That means it's update time! Lots of pictures, so let's cut the chat and get straight to it then!

ANIMAL KINGDOM

-Crowds were medium to heavy when I got there, but then it started to Rain!



and rain.....and rain.....A deluge! After maybe only 30 Minutes the park was pretty much cleared out! To give you an idea...

A: I walked right into a Countdown pre-show. After riding through once, the Load area was empty thanks to being between pre-shows and they let everyone in the rover go through for another ride through. (To everyone from Countdown To Breakdown: Yes, I stayed on. I have no idea why. It's like they never want you to leave.)

B:I walked right onto a Safari truck. Thanks to it still raining very hard, I guess people thought they'd get soaked. I got misted, but stayed mostly dry and had a great time.

C:Pangani Forest Trail was just pretty much me, the cast Members, the animals not hiding, and all the rain.

D: Eating at Restarauntosaurus, a manager had to come out and explain to me and the few people there why the food was taking so long. The reason? It was so empty they had to stop making food non-stop or else they'd be throwing food away, so they had to make our food to order.

:lol::D

-Kali River Rapids was down, and halfway drained.

STUDIOS

-Crowds were medium.

-They've added a giant guitar pick sign to the Stratocaster outside RNR that says "Presented by HANES".

-New Midway Mania Merch!

A: Three new Midway Mania mugs at $11.95 each.

B: A kid's shirt with a Little Green Men face on it. On the back it says "Ring Me!" with a Toy Story Midway Mania logo on it.

C: The already talked-about Pixar shirt and jacket.

D: The Spring-Action Shooter keychain, $6.95. Very cool! Description inside.

-Waits for Midway Mania were posted high, but weren't that bad. Maybe 30 minutes. It moved fast thanks to hordes of Fastpass Returnees not coming in.

OK, that's all for news. Now on the pictures!

Enjoy!
:wave:

I saw the Hanes logo at RNRC the other day, it looks very out of place. I will say the picture makes it look worse than it does in real life, IMO.

Anyway, thanks for the update Servo. It is greatly appreciated, as always.

Thanks for the update. :wave:

I loved the rainy pics. And the tigers were great - they always seem to be far away when we're there.

Thnaks for the update! We were at AK during a tropical storm. It was dead, and every animal was out. We always like to go AK when it rains.

That's exactly what happens at A&W (and any other food service I imagine). The chicken takes 12 minutes to cook, so when someone gets mad when their chicken takes so long at midnight, I have to give the exact same speech. :lol:

Hey there, and nice update as usual! Saw topic headline, I gotta say, I chuckled a bit. I'm PUMPED for Friday. Alas, I wanted to see it at midnight, but I got work the next day, but once I get out at 2, I'm definitely going across the street through crazy traffic to PI to see it. TO BATMAN OR BUST! haha :lol:

I gotta say, I'm intrigued too bout these stories bout a supposed water streams in the Everest queue. I knew since day one that I went there that they had pipes and what not for it, but I just simply assumed the water dried up or something, as part of the ambiance/temperate climates of that region in reality. I thought it would be sorta awkward to have a water stream/fountain there happen, as it would probably just freeze right there each time it got cold, haha. Defeat the purpose it would.

Another great Servo update. Time to hold onto your underwear at RnR because there is no way to take your eyes off that REALLY out of place sign. As for the spring shooter I'm with you give me a full size one that does everything or nothing at all. Oh & Testtrack321 nice choice for a profile pic ;)
