Last i read, they were drugging the kids and dragging them out. Driving them helps by preventing them from panicking or moving in unhelpful ways.

The food was ok.....family style at picnic benches. There were 3 other families seated with us. Main dishes were ribs and salmon.That looks like such fun! Reminds me of Hoop-Dee-Do. How was the food? Looking forward to more pictures when you get home. Have a safe trip home.

That was a panoramic train that took us for 4.5 hours from Denali Park to Talkeetna....so we were half way to Anchorage when we got off the train.

My wife and daughter can sleep on the plane. I can't. That's why the frown face. It was worth it and I should just post smiles. My badTonight we fly out of Anchorage....then land in Seattle so we can wait around for our connecting flight back to Philadelphia. Not back home until Monday at 4:30pm

I heard 2 drivers for one kid but that could mean anything. I feel bad for the coach. You can bet that would be a lawsuit in the US.

I didn't hear that part about medicating them. What I have heard repeatedly today was that the expert diver in the front had an air line (oxygen) to the child tethered to him behind. Each one had his own oxygen, so they didn't have to worry about both breathing from one tank only. Behind the two of them was another expert diver just to make sure that the child was still ahead of him, and still tethered to the front diver.
(I'll keep an ear to the TV to see if they mention the medication part for the kids. Although I can understand the emotional benefit of doing that, I kinda wonder if it makes sense, because I'd think that the kids would need all the strength they could muster. You never know if the kid would have to swim or walk an additional distance, if something didn't go as planned.)
Anyway, I'm thrilled that 4 of these kids are out. Hearing that news earlier, just made my day. Hoping the best for the other nine, and also the safety of these brave and skilled rescue teams.

Well, that money might go away soon. I have a huge issue (good issue and not at my current job) but no one can help me with except a someone that hires and sponsors people in Scotland. So....I'll go wallow in self-pity.

O.k. You two are the first people (that I know) on the forum to ride it. So glad to hear that it was a really fun ride!! I like the design of it--so cute! Would you say that's it's maybe on a par with 7 Dwarfs Mine Train, in that it's more of a "family-friendly" coaster for all ages?

No not yet, I had thought about the s’mores sandwich at breakfast today but by the time we finished the three Toy Story rides the line was long and I wasn’t that hungry. Maybe tomorrow morning.
I might have to check Festival, I don’t often go there because the closest is 45 minutes away. But maybe if they had that beer I might make the effort.
slinky is much more fun than 7 Dwarfs and much more comfortable to ride.

I would say they are both family friendly but Slinky has a bit more thrill. Brad says they are both thrilling because 7D has the swinging. The seats are more comfortable on Slinky overall especially for leg room.

Interesting observations. Yah, the seats in 7 Dwarfs aren't the most comfortable (and I don't have any issue fitting in them, or anything like that). I do like the swaying parts--those are a blast. Slinky sounds like something I'd enjoy equally as much a 7 Dwarfs, but then again, I love coasters!!

My opinion is, it’s a little more intense than SDMT in terms of height...I would say SDD is slightly faster too. Not as intense as BTMR though.

the leg room in the 7dmt is very short.. so that improvement is welcome.. except when you have small bags that can swing heavily in the front "bag".

I'm sorry I've been away the past couple of days. Had to pick up James from grandma's Wednesday because she had car trouble and from there I had the boys with no place we had to be except food shopping so we unplugged from the world. We hit a few farm markets, spent a bunch of time outdoors and caught up on a few movies. I'm going to try and ketchup tonight and tomorrow. THNX for your understanding
