Chapter 32. Momma leaves us.
After the character connection, we need our thrill fix once again...so we made it over to Test track, i love the fountain in the middle of the park.
the stand by line said 40 minutes, so we took parker up to the man manning the fast pass line and got the baby swap ticket, and then backed up, candi was going to leave us and nurse parker...this was going to work out good, we were going to let himnurse and nap on her for a while while we went on the ride.
So off mamma went.
the nursing station was relatively close right over the bridge so it was not that far of a walk for her.
With that me and aunt missa were off to the test track stand by line.
I really enjoy this line so i will share some pictures to bring back memories for you guys.
I took a picture of pretty much every sign and display area, but will only show a few for you guys...and a bunch of video in there.
I like how they show how light polls are designed to break off at the base when hit.
display of many signs
here is the waiting area before you go into the staging rooms.
a view of test track from the sky.
i love looking at all of these aerial views, one time for work, i got to go to the proving grounds along the michigan indiana border and ride around the speed track, it was awesome, and the hills and testing areas were beyond cool.
They had one section of the shop that was closed off because they had some new military equipment that was top secret only a few people that work there got to see it, i wonder if they ever started using it or not.
After the show it was to the coral lines waiting to load the vehicles...there was the stand by line of course that is for the single riders, well usually i dont feel sorry for these people that get split up because they should know that is what is happening and know that they wont get to ride with there friends and family a price to pay for not waiting in the normal line.
well there was a school group that was in that line and one of the boys did not realize that is how it worked, i think he was at hte mercey of his group leader and was very scared that he would be riding with strangers...so after a CM talked with him for a little bit, and calmed him down, i felt so sorry for the little man. they ended up seeing another group of kids from there school in the line we were waiting in that were in front of us...so they switched some riders around and he ended up ridding with kids from his school just not in his group which seemed to make him happy so crisis averted.
we were ready to ride...i love everything about this ride...i got a picture going up the hill when you start out.
I took a bunch of video but since we were in the back seat, it is not the best...i will show a video of another ride we took later in the day in the following chapters that turned out great, and has a funny ending with candi.
i did get a decent picture of the high speed test
mellissa loved it...
here is the photopass picture from it.
she was getting a call from candi asking if we were on the ride yet, that is why she is looking down...and notice i am videoing hte ride.
we met candi outside walking back to meet us...now it was mine and candis turn. so we told melissa the best thing would be to keep parker moving, so she went and took him to the gift shop while we road.
our ride was great, we were on within 5 minutes, i just sat back and enjoyed the ride since i rideod it the first time and took pictures.
when we came out we saw parker and aunt missa sitting on a bench outside the gift shop eating some puffs and water, that kid will eat all day if you let him.
We were thirsty as well and wanted to go to club cool.
there were kids everywhere in there..we finally found a station that was not that crowded and hunkered down and pushed the couple of kids out of my way so we could get a drink.
the drink board.
notice melissa going for the beverly i stand back for the picture...the sip
the reaction...
what the....that is no reaction that is just a hummm, okay next one...finally i was going to get a picture of someone not liking it and have an epic picture for the DIS boards of the beverly...i was hoping for a spit out picture all over some of the bratty middle school kids, and i am left with nothing.
ohh well, we had a date with figment waiting for us.
or are you trying to suck up?
