Gah. Too much going on Sunday. And I have no voice.

I'm probably not going to make it

Is that a bad thing?

Went on this thing last night with lots of aggressive, in-your-face suburban types that seemed excited by the changeover. Zero change to the outside of the building (it's now a building), queue, loading area, or employee uniforms. Half the lights in the upstairs queue area were not funtioning, dozens of people wandered around the painted "launch pad" smoking, talking on cell phones, and literally climbing the walls. The ride itself seems slower, the wall projections are lame, the music choice is in no way clever (or even loud,) in short, it's exactly what you should expect when Disney tries to be "edgy." And yet we line up for it. In droves. We line up for pirated Pirates. We line up for the Princess Fantasy Faire and Pocketbook Pillage. We are giving truth to the lie of "If it's good enough for Magic Mountain."

Every year I buy a premium passport, last year I bought a So Cal. This year I'm likely to do the same. I used to love Disneyland. Disneyland always gave me so much in return for my time and attention. I never felt badly for spending money. Now, I feel like Disneyland has turned into the opportunistic date that knows they're pretty, and knows that there are plenty of other guys who'll shell out cash if I won't.

I'll be at the park tomorrow. Noonish at the hub...

I haven't decided if I'm going to ride Suckin' Space Mountain ever again though...

Heheh, will you help me get fastpasses for GD and CP then?

Not Afraid · 01-07-2007, 11:17 AM

I'm sick. I may show up later, but a ride on suck mountain isn't making my cold go away.

NirvanaMan · 01-07-2007, 11:25 AM

We'll be there round 1:30 or 2.

FYI on Saturday I got to Space around 2pm and FP were gone witht he Schwin. Wait time was around 60 min all night until close which took us about 20-30 min.

BarTopDancer · 01-07-2007, 11:51 AM

Can someone get me a FP too? I'm planning on coming by after my game (about 7).

Thanks!

We gave it a shot. I even sat in front (which may have been the problem), but while it was neat seeing the track, it made the ride seem INCREDIBLY slow. There was not one iota of the fear factor left in theis ride that still has been wanting to grab on to something. The DJ at lift off was beyond lame and caused uncontrollable eye-rolling. Interesting concept and, of don well could've been wonderful, but it really did disappointment me - at least on the first run. I choose not to go back for a second run later in the evening.
