Time for the next installment ("'BOUT TIME!!" i hear you shout  :lol: )

Day 2 - Part 2

So we left Disneyland Park and headed over to Walt Disney Studios Park, which didn't properly open until 10am so we had a little while to wait in the park before we could go on anything.  But, we seen the queuing had already started for one attraction

Yep you guessed it, thats the queue for [strike:1342m1mf]flying carpets[/strike:1342m1mf] Crush.  So that was a no for today.

So we decided to have a walkabout, where i seen the Stitch Live! building which was under refurb

You can also spot the new kiosk which is coming, look a lot more bare than it is now.  We then walked up Backlot, but nothing was open yet, perfect excuse for some photos :mrgreen:









After that we then sat down by La Teressa to wait for ToT's fastpass to open and get a bite to eat.  But that didn't stop getting a few more snaps


Just after i took the above photo, i looked around and saw this




Yeah, i know i was kinda the wrong way round :lol:   Just my luck eh? :roll:  

We then got a quick bite from one of the trailers, by then ToT had opened, so, we fastpassed it and headed over to Rock n Rollercoaster, for me to go on it for the first time :mrgreen:

From the moment i stepped into the building i was blown away.  Them concert posters and memorabilia are great, speaking of which, are they real or just replicas?  The pre-show is great as well.  Actually got a funny story from it.  As you know when you enter you hear someone say "please no flash photography", anyway someone decided not to listen to this and carried on taking photos.  But, when Steve something-or-other (lead singer of Aerosmith) walks in, timing couldn't be better.  Just as the guy took a photo with the flash on, Steve went "Hey!... Whats happening out there people?"  Also when he said "Hey!", it looked like he was actually pointing at the guy with the camera.  Made me laugh  Anyway onto the main attraction.  And it, was, AMAZING!!  I regret so much i didn't go on this earlier, oh how i loved it.  Everything was incredible, i even got the best soundtrack train on my first go (Love in an elevator and Walk this way)  Why i say it's the best is because it's the only two songs in RnRC i know the words of, so i sang along, and i can't sing! :lol:  Those poor people on the train with me, they couldn't escape from a 15 year old Northern Ireland lad killing an Aerosmith classic :lol:

After i left the amazing ride that was RnRC we walked back down Backlot and seen two CMs trying to get people to go into Armageddon, so we joined them.  Why not?  Was another attraction i've never been on.  I remember reading on here and hearing from people that the pre-show is about 15 minutes, where the actually main show is on 5 minutes.  Anyway i have to say the pre-show is enjoyable, it's very cool the way they have Michael Clarke Duncan as narrator.  He's such a cool actor  Although, it did seem to drag on, and i wouldn't want to watch it a number on times, which i would have to do if i wanted to go on this again.  Anyway onto the main show.  The main part of the attraction is very well done, good effects and everything.  Although it is a little short (especially after the pre-show) and there was a massive crowd in with us so we couldn't really get a good look around.

After are visit to the Russian Space Station our fastpass for the Tower of Terror was ready.  Finally, time to drop back into the Twilight Zone for the first time in a year :mrgreen:   As usual, ToT was fantastic, the library show was in french and the main attraction audio was in english.  Can't really decided which one i prefer in English.  Not matter what it is though i always like to do my own dubbing with "The Twilight Zone" at the end

By now it was around 12:20am so we decided to leave WDS and head back to Disneyland Park.  And quite fittingly we left with the theme from the movie "The Great Escape" playing in the background :lol:


TO BE CONTINUED....

Very, very, very sorry this one is embarrassingly short.  Just need to find the time, which i can't

as Aveen says We Want More !  /

[Javey74]

Thanks for squeezing that little update in there, I know it must be hard, finding the time. But if Pete asks, it took you ages as there was a lot of house work to do today..  :lol:

Also, I've heard these Summer opening times have been playing havoc, but I didn't know that the Studios was open at 12:20am, and then to head back over to the DP, which must be still open after that..  :lol:  :mrgreen:  Phheww..  :mrgreen:

It was really light aswell for that time..  :lol:

By now it was around 12:20am so we decided to leave WDS and head back to Disneyland Park.

Sorry Luke I couldn't resist that one..    :mrgreen:

Looking forward to the next update, with more photies.  Thanks for taking a little more time out..  :wink:  

[SophieD]

Thanks everyone for your comments again, Part 3 may be released tomorrow.

[Pete's Dragon]

Yeah !!!! Trip Report. It's a small step for Breeno, one giant leap.......

Just one question...


I'm pretty certain I know what's on the other side of those. Why are you sitting taking multiple photos instead of running like a madman towards them ?
Oh wait, that's what I would have done

Hehe I have to say I was kinda thinking that too  :wink:    lol

Thanks for the update breeno! /  Great photos too, can't wait for more!

oh and omg!! :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  I really can't believe that I haven't seen it like that before..

[Pete's Dragon]

I can't believe that queue either. I didn't think Crush was that good to be perfectly honest, and def. not worth waiting 1/2 day to go on. You could cover most of WDS in the same time

[-breeno-]

Two reasons really;

1.  My parents were up at the trailer thing getting the food at this stage, i'm sure they would of loved it seeing me leg it after the Toon Train after paying a fortune on food

2.  I was very happy sitting on that bench, relaxing and enjoying the view (*cough* lazy *cough*)

[Annet]

I've been on Crush's Coaster only once, the queue was about 45 minutes then.
Now it's always almost more than an hour, I'd rather spend that time better.

And I think it's great that you sang along in the Rock 'n Roller Coaster.
First time I went on that one, I was so busy screaming I didn't even hear the music

[Javey74]

oh and omg!! :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  I really can't believe that I haven't seen it like that before..

When we went in February 2009 there were 3 queues..  :shock:  :shock:

One queue was the same length as what you've just seen and another one again the same length running parallel to it.  Also another queue about half that length start to form near the Flying Carpets..  :shock:  :shock:  :roll:

We joined the shortest one, and eventually ended up just 9th in line..  :wink:  

[bigrossco]

OMG lines of people in the Studio's that must be a DLP first!!!

Thanks for the little but good update... Once again great photos and good comments.

Keep it coming, Breeno (but take your time)

 :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  what is so good about this ride lol??? unless I was staying for quite a long time and absolutely loved this ride or thought I would love it I wouldn't queue that long! Although in saying that I did queue once for like an hour to meet Cinderella  :oops:  but hey she is royalty! :wink:

I think many people see the ride and think "hmm Crush coaster...well anything based on Finding nemo can't be bad, I love that film" and they go on it not realising it's a roller'coaster'! Also maybe people see the queue and think 'wow this must be a good ride look at that queue!' and they decide to join to see!!
