I think its called the maliboomer, but i could be wrong
Yes you're correct, it is the Maliboomer! And an awesome ride I might add! A little carnival-ish for a Disney park, but still a great ride. No Tower of Terror though!

:sohappy: Great photos Merlin show us some more.....wish I had you with me when I flew to DLR on The Spirit of Disneyland plane in December. My photos turned out really crummy.
Pictures
I have never been to DL so I really enjoyed seeing it. Pictures are great. Makes me want to go. The only thing that keeps me away is the price of the airline tickets. I'm told the trip itself is way cheaper that WDW. When I see the price of the airline tickets I always think how many extra days I could stay in Fla. and change the trip. Thanks again for the peek at DL.

When we were there, we were having a discussion what those plastic screens are for infront of you on the maliboomer. We thought it could be to deflect some of the air flow off the face, and also that if someone was sick, it wouldnt go everywhere!!! :lol: anyone have any ideas?
this would have been good if i had held the camera straight!

My photos I took with a normal camera should be back 2 day or tomorrow. I will try and scan some good ones in. The software that came with my scanner does not allow me just to select the area that the photo is in, and save it. Does anyone know any free software that I could use to do this? thanks very much

The plastic screens on MaliBOOMer are called "Scream Shields". They serve the same purpose as the tunnels on California Screamin'...keep the screams from leaving the park (noise pollution ordinances).
As for plane tickets, they are still quite cheap. They cost as much as it used to cost to go to Orlando. Fly jetBlue...amazing air carrier, and it's just $350 (with all applicable taxes) to go to Disneyland (round trip) through September. Orlando is now down to about $215, both ways. I realize $350 is no chump change, but it is much less than the $450-$500 it used to cost round trip...

Dogsrule is correct. When we did a hardhat tour of the park before it opened they told us they were noise reduction shields. As are the blue barriers on Screamin.

If you study Anaheim enough, you realize that they really do not like California Adventure, and have not supported it from the start. That is why, for example, they cannot have fireworks at this park. Anaheim didn't want fireworks from both parks. As for the Scream Tubes, they are found on the three highest hills on the roller coaster. It is at these heights that loud guest screams are most likely to exit the park. This is also why the tubes are open on the side facing the park. Disney wants the screams in the park; Anaheim wants them to STAY in the park.

Ha! I can get on any ride that it is indoors... I love RnRC and ToT, (Space Mountain is just "ok" because it is too bumpy), but the thought of getting into some fast and high ride outdoors just freaks me out.
:animwink:
Well, you gotta ride OUR Space Mountain! It is a much smoother ride!
Here's a shot of it where I had some fun with PhotoShop...

smoother, faster, has more inside the building [e.g. big red sphere (don't know what it represents)], and the great soundtrack (when it is working)...great ride.
