RtS: IMAX at GardenWalk, Anaheim - Page 2

Kevy Baby · 07-21-2008, 04:23 PM

The only time I went to IMAX (for feature films), we saw Beauty and the Beast (and then stuck around and "stole" a viewing of LotR). The only way I could tolerate it was by being in just about the back row. I enjoyed the viewings, but the immersion from that perspective was plenty for me.

I, too, was rather dissapointed. Besides the smallish screen a dirt on the film, the parking structure is a joke. The entrance is a nightmare with cars going two directions at once, crossing, ect. And it sounds like after 3 hours of validated parking you then have to pay.

Complete joke. Exiting is worse. When we left they it looked like they had 1 booth at each entrance open, with 2 ways to each booth that met right before the booth. People had to cooperate and use the "zipper effect" to get to the booth. It took nearly 15 minutes to get out of there. Validated parking is 4 hours. Be sure to account for exit time though.

Yes, what is that all about? How do you pay at the kiosk not knowing how long it will take to get to your car, then to the booth??

There is a pre-payment kiosk too?

Must have missed that. But you'd still have to sit in the exit line for everyone else who is paying at the booth.

Don't drive!

Seriously, OCTA was recently rated the best bus company in the country. Route 43 (Harbor Blvd.) and Route 50 (Katella) both run 24 hours a day and a day pass is only three bucks, less than a gallon of gas.

Keep the car parked once in a while and let someone else do the driving.

Awesome, so when the movie lets out at 1AM, I can get a ride down Katella and get dropped off 2 miles from my house at 2 in the morning! Sign me up!

Bring a bike. Each bus has space for two bikes.

Or use the bus during the day. Just think of the money you could save.

It really isn't as bad as it sounds. It's not perfect, but in a world of $4.00+ gas, it really can help the pocket book.

Odd, we were out of there immediately, no waiting.

Eh, I didn't really do the math, just threw a number out.

Plus, do the 9 hours I spend at work REALLY count as "waking life"?
