Somehow I missed a few pages of the discussion, not sure how ... but ...
I hope that committment includes smoothing-out Ghost Rider, which is probably the most excruciatingly painful roller coaster on the planet!
That I don't know. I have never ridden it. I wanted to years ago, but either rain or closures prevented that. And then about seven years ago, I just gave up riding wooden coasters. I don't have back or neck issues, but I easily wind up hurting both. I had neck pain last week from sleeping on my pillow the wrong way! Must be getting old or something ...
It's absolutely horrendous. Add to that the security line, which everyone must go through whether or not they have a bag.
That's always been an issue for me. But those second scans that are simply folks with iPhones were too much. It wasn't a long wait ... maybe an extra four minutes on average. But it annoyed the hell out of me.
Those lines make it so easy to get throught the parks on even the busiest of days. I wish they could find a way to add one to Space Mountain...it constantly dispatches with less-than-full vehicles. I remember going quite a bit after work last summer when I had a trial in Southern California, and the parks were packed. But in the four or five hours I was there, I was able to hit-up every E-ticket. It was great!
Yep. Single Rider lines are MAGICal. One day Splash Mountain was at 110 minutes. We simply walked on ...repeatedly if I recall correctly. I don't get why WDW doesn't have them. There was supposed to be one for Soarin when it opened, but they never wound up using it. I think the whole concept is too confusing for WDW's ops folks.
This is my biggest complaint about Disneyland Park. The rides go down frequently. I had one trip where they went down in succession, which meant I was going from ride to ride for almost two hours but not actually getting on anything because they would go down. Finally I had enough and went to City Hall, where I was given some FPs for my trouble. I had calmed down, so I decided to head over to Splash Mountain, and guess what? It went down as I walked over to the single rider entrance! I had to leave. At that point I was livid. There is just no excuse for that. People can trash Six Flags all they want, but when I worked at the park near Chicago, my coasters went down maybe three times over the course of a week. Disney's attractions seem to go down three times a day!
I can tell you that when I lived out there part time, it was not like that. It also hasn't been my experience largely from say 2008-2012. But it sure was this trip. We actually took advantage of it more than it hurt us just through timing. But it was annoying when it bit us (once on RSRs, once on Indy). And looking at the weekly Micechat pics of the wait boards, it is clearly a regular issue now. I'm not sure why those guys haven't written about it, but they should.
Really? I didn't think it was anything special. I thought Carthay Circle was better.
Really. Phenomenal food, wine and service. And that has always been the case. Carthay, which I didn't do this time but wound up dining at three times on my last visit, is good but not in Napa's class.
I have never had a meal there that was less than "I wish I was at WDW, so then I could get away with licking the plate'' good!
It's funny because when I wear my Universal or Six Flags jackets, no one bats an eye. When I wear something WDW-related, the CMs look offended. LOL
Many CMs haven't been to WDW and they take pride in where they work and sorta wonder what the fuss is over their expansive sibling in the swamps.
Oh wow, Wonder Boy just made 'This Week in Unnecessary Censorship' on Kimmel ... I'll never hear the end of this!!!
