Thread Name: BS: All grown up at Disneyland
Subject: RE: BS: All grown up at Disneyland
I was there last October (I prefer Florida... the Epcot centre was excellent!) but LA was fun too....

Space mountain used to be in the dark..... now it is ALMOST in the dark.... so you can see what direction the track is going but only just....... apparently they had some trouble with people getting injuries because they didn't know which direction to brace themselves....... I love rollercoasters but not in the dark... but this one was excellent, I LOVED it!!....

Indiana Jones is superb, Matterhorn bobsleigh is a good rollercoaster....

on a less dramatic level Pirates of the Carribean and the Haunted House.. are great.. but without the thrills and spills.....

avoid "It's a small world" like the plague....... unless you are into terrible tunes played ad nauseum accompanied by cutsey dolls...ARGHHHHH!!!!!

the FASTPASSES...are the way to go... I walked straight onto Indiana Jones while the people who were queuing had a 75 minute wait...... basically what you need to do.. is pick the rides you MUST go on.. and head straight to the fastpass booths and get your tickets..... this allocates you an hour window where you can come back and "jump the queue"... it is only available for certain rides, (Space mountain and Indiana Jones are included).....

have fun
