Fun at Disneyland - Matt Style :)

I've been walked off POTC three times - all from the same exact spot for the same exact reasons (see below). Twice before the refurn and once after. I've also had Indy go 101 right in the boulder room (did you know that the boulder NEVER stops spinning?). It was cool to see the twelve massive subwoofer cabinets (EV quad 15's) but disappointing to see them wired with 16 gauge solid core wire - WTF?!?

Actually, the date was March 4 - at least according to my pictures' date stamp.

We broke Space last night - and it was my fault. My two youngest had never been and wanted to go, I was excited because I never get to go. I figured I would head off a potential issue by asking who would sit with me and who would sit alone (we broke HM this way, notice a trend?). I got a volunteer for each position. My son was a little apprehensive, but luckily we recognized one of the CMs we met last summer who lives near our complex. He was really good at putting my son's fears at ease. We got up to the loading point and as we were about to board, my daughter got cold feet and decided she wanted to ride with us. As you know, only 2 fit in a row, so we were hosed. I pulled us out of line to talk to the CM and ask if I could ride with one, and then the other. She started rearranging other CMs so she could ride with my daughter which I thought was really cool. Unfortunately, I think this upset the flow of things and pretty soon the ride was locked up, and they had to restart everything from scratch.

I felt pretty bad, after we got loaded and were sitting there, it was our friend CM who was having to cycle through the cars to get them started again. He was in the main control room, looking down at us. I hope he didn't figure out it was our fault. I'm sorry.

Ah, I stand corrected! I was close, but no cigar.
