Disney geek confessions

[Alex]

I enjoy Innoventions.

In the entire Disneyland Resort there is only one ride that I have any active interest in riding. Everything else I would be fine with never riding again though I'm happy to go because other people want to.

I have never been on any of the carousels.

I've never seen Mary Poppins, Bambi, or Dumbo. I consider Snow White to be a technical achievement for its time but an incredibly boring movie. It took several attempts before I got through The Lion King without falling asleep.

Darn. I was expecting a step by step analysis of the goat trick with pie charts and statistics...

I don't care what Walt would think. Walt's dead.

You sit in the last car of Big Thunder. As you pass the goat you stare at it and keep staring at it as you pass it. You get a cool 360 view of the goat and it's just kind of fun to do. If you keep looking back for the rest of the ride, it's totally cool not being able to see what's coming next. imho.

I should add that a big part of the effect is not just the view of the goat, but also the effect of how the centrifugal force plays with your mind when you're doing that. It's sort of a feeling that the ride is going faster than it is, IMO.

My confession: I will only go on Storybook Land if :ism: is there. Otherwise, it is a much hated and despised ride. Of doom.
