How wild is the coaster? More than Rockin Roller Coaster, or about the same? Does it have that same type of launch? Thats the part I hate about RnR.
I'd say it's more wild than Rock n' Roller Coaster because it's longer. It does have that same launch...I love that part!
Don't you love how Screamin' and Space Mountain have the music streaming in at you during the ride? (like RocknRoller Coaster) Wish they all had that.
Bugs Land is cute. Perfect for the little ones. Love all the colors there.
I laughed at your ToT view from Bug's Land, but I agree. DL doesn't have the luxury of spreading stuff out. But I kind of like how close things are. Easier on the feet!
Yes! I did love that! Though, I think my screams on both rides might have drowned out the music. I honestly don't even remember the music on California Screamin'!
I agree with you about the size! It was SO much easier and more relaxing overall. It is perfect for families with little kids, IMO!
We did a backstage tour here one year and that's exactly what the guide said. They built it with the TOT in sight on purpose to give you a sense of scale.
Ah ha! It does make sense after I thought about it. I didn't really think about it at the time and was just observing how glaringly obvious this particular sightline was - esp when you compare it to WDW who is quite anal about them. That one pic of mine really does give you that sense of scale, you ARE a bug compared to that huge looming hotel...which is pretty impressive!
I think they are among the original rides, aren't they? Thus I think they are a bit dated... Just like the shooting range.
Yep, I think you are correct! I like the sense of movement they bring to the area, but I'd be too scared of tipping over to relax and enjoy.
I absolutely love Bug's Life so I know that I'd have to see A Bug's Land no matter what else I did. I'd probably even right the little train despite the fact that I don't have little kids any more. Oh wait, maybe one day I'll have a little grandchild to take there!
I can totally see Hunter on Heilmlich's Chew Chew Train. I can see him with a super cheesy smile, John sleeping...
I'm all caught up! You're a beignet-eating, double-goldfish-and-juice-getting, mother-of-the-year-not who's posting like a mad-woman because she's got a new trip coming up....got it! Enjoying the updates.
YES! Exactly right!!!! And I have enough time in my schedule to stay caught up on the DIS. Which is amazing... and I don't anticipate that will be the case next month.
A perfect choice Henry! But I think you deserve two from your mother of the year. Seriously though, what parent hasn't coerced their kid to go on a ride and then felt guilty when it didn't go as planned. Give him another year or so.
I love all the pictures of DL and it really is cool how the Grand Californian is practically in the park.
You are right! We should have gotten him two!
I am hoping in a year or so he'll be a roller coaster pro. Joe and I love them, so taking H on with us would be a lot of fun! We have loved the thrills he has braved.
