If you've never done Screamin in the Rain, you must at least do it once

Why was someone allowed to throw rocks at people riding Screamin'?

CoasterMatt · 03-21-2011, 12:05 AM

Screamin' in the rain is nothing- try being launched to 100mph when it's 35 degrees out, and you can't wear a jacket because they're filming for "sunny" california.

Or riding a standup coaster in the hail repeatedly, not being allowed to leave the train, because the cameras are rolling and they want full trains.

Oh yeah? Well in my day they nailed you into the seat, poured scalding coffee in your lap, and dropped you on your head from 200 feet without an ambulance. And we were grateful! LOL...

I spent all the the rainy period either in the Hearthstone, or the Jazz Kitchen, just lovely

Fun Galore at Disneyland this past weekend. Was so nice to see everyone who made it, even if for a little bit.

It was so rad to have an old school Grand Cal AP Loungeathon. Mark really liked that, and I was so happy to share that with him - as well as to reintroduce him to Disneyland after a 15-year absence. He missed only one major new attraction in all that time, and so he loved riding on Indiana Jones. (We turned in a child's cellphone case found in the queue to a CM, and she rewarded our kindness with passes that allowed us to switch mid-stream to the fastpass line. Yay.)

Sunday's torrential downpour that started mid-ride on California Screamin' was So.Much.Fun. I laughed uncontrollably through the entire last half of that ride. (But, yeah, seconds was unwise in retrospect).

I'm glad Mark decided to get an AP - it really took the pressure off getting on ALL the rides. As it was, we had a beautiful weather mucho ride day on Saturday, and there are only a couple of major attractions to share with him in the future - plus plenty of minor pleasures, romantic date nights, and hopefully group meets in his AP future.

Saturday night was a blur of rad, as I introduced Mark to Remember (abridged) fireworks, Fantasmic (a little far back and to the side, but with zero wait), and my patented Space Mountain Rainbow Glasses LSD Nitrous Oxide spectacular 3 minutes!

Having a hotel room in town was wonderful. Don't get to do that too often. I guess now that my boyfriend has an AP, I'll be visiting the Resort a little more than expected this year. First order of business will be convincing him there's decent food to be had in Downtown Disney (our first visit to Jazz Kitchen was an uncharacteristic fail). I suppose second order of business will be Gay Club Remix sometime soon!

Kevy I spent years camping for several weeks a year, in desserts and mountains, in the rain, sleet, snow and 100 degree temperatures, wearing a corset and full length skirt, made my own tent, knitted chainmail and fed 30 people dinner every night, with nothing but a campfire.
I did my time now I want my pleasures

It really was the highlight of the day! The first time.

I enjoyed lounging and, in a sick way, enjoyed the looks of horror on the "neighbor's" faces as our group just kept getting larger, and larger, and larger, and more chairs were brought over. And then they left. Oops.

Now, if only Audra could get a good glass of wine there.......

Dang. Sounds like I missed the social event of the year.

Nah. Got to spend the day outside in the freezing sideways rain trying to sell cheez. That's fun enough for me.
