Ish.

Here! Seated in line in the Esplanade

What's the deal then? They giving wristbands or what?

Kevy Baby · 06-15-2012, 05:07 AM

Keith, Katiesue & Maddie, Tom & Heidi (with their niece and nephews) and Susan & were there at 11:00 and finally got our wristbands at 2:00 - we are right in front, in front of the Good Morning America lights and cameras. Marla and BJ got there later (3-4 ish I think) and got wristbands a little further back. Check Twitter and maybe FB for later updates.

Susan and I came back home for a 2-hour nap and are heading back now.

Heheh, me being me, I rather like this line from the article: "It's a re-expansion that took nerve, as Disney is essentially doubling down on the site of an originally deeply flawed concept."

Concept and basic lame layout the same. Execution, much much much better.

From the article GD linked to:

Quote:

The original thesis was to create a low-key experience, heavy on shopping and food and low on entertainment -- minus my favorite theme park attraction of all time: the Soarin' Over California movie/flight ride.

Can any other words be taken serious from a person who apparently said such a thing--the favorite ride part--sincerely?

innerSpaceman · 06-15-2012, 11:00 AM

It was my favorite DCA ride for a long time.

That's a defensible position for a park short on great attractions. But favorite theme park attraction of all time?!?!?!

Fail.

Personally, after the first ride on each, Superstar Limo was a more interesting ride to me than Soarin'. Soarin' is boring after the first ride, Superstar Limo at least had its awfulness going for it as a point of interest.

But yeah, I don't so much care if someone says it is their favorite in the park. But to say it is their favorite ever anywhere suggests to me that they've only ever visited one park, one time.
