When we got back to the station I was very relieved to get off! That was the scariest coaster ride I have ever been on!

Wow! You sure were one brave Fantasmic! Kid !! Will you go back on again?

That will be one ride you will never forget. One day you'll be telling your grandchildren about it!

We decided to go check out Splash mt. The wait was 70 minutes long (what else is new

), but we jumped in line anyway. While we where driving up earlier that day, mom had remembered that it was unofficial "Goth day" at Disneyland

. Sure enough, the park was full of Goths! They seemed to take up half the crowd! (Not that there is anything wrong with that) But anyway, while we where in line mom decided to write a song (much to my dismay) called "It's a goth world after all". Mom has given me permission to copy down the lyrics. I do hope this not offend anyone.... we had nothing better to do in line anyway. I now present to you: It's a Goth world after all!

Sung to the tune of “It’s a Small World”

black boots
black clothes
ripped stockings too
black lips
black hair
with a spike or too
so much black that they wear
it just makes us all scared
It’s a Goth World After All!!

Its a goth world after all
Its a goth world after all
Its a goth world after all
Its a goth, goth world

Pierced nose
pierced ears
even bellybuttons
tattoos everywhere
oh for pain they’re all gluttons
spikes and studs everywhere
that’s why we all stare
It’s a Goth World After All!

Its a goth world after all
Its a goth world after all
Its a goth world after all
Its a goth, goth world

Anyway, when we finally got to the loading dock, we got the back three seats in the log, and then headed up for a zip-a-de-do-da-ing good ride! I still think this splash is WAY better then the one at WDW. Everything about it is better, including the logs. I know this sounds weird but I find splash (except for the big drop) relaxing! I love drifting around the thorn patch after the first lift hill. It feels great after standing in a long line.

Coming up next: Snow White: a letdown of a new musical

Another great update! Sounds like you are having a great time on your trip! Can't wait for more

Doesn't it seem odd that the Goth kids (who say they're all about death and pain and unhappiness) would schedule a day in "The <font color="red">HAPPIEST</font> Place on Earth"? Glad you liked Splash. We didn't get on it unfortunatly. Line was really long and we just never got back around there.

Sounds like you're having a pretty good time!!

Diz · 09-02-2004, 12:12 PM

Wow! You think DL's Splash is better than WDW?! I really have to get to DL because I just love Splash. It's my favorite ride.

Great update! Can't wait to hear about Snow White.

Goth day sounds like it would be fun. Being different is great, whatever floats your boat I say.

I also think SPMT is relaxing. The last time we were on it the picture of our log that it takes at the drop was great. One kid in the front had his hands up giving the thumbs up, with a goofy smile on his face, me and my daughter were doing the scream laugh thing, and the guy in back of us had his arms crossed and his head laying on his shoulders with his eyes closed like he was asleep.

We haven't seen the Snow White musical yet but have heard some bad reviews.

I don't think it will stop us from seeing it at least once though.

It was nearly time for Snow white, so we headed to fantasyland theater. On the way we paused to watch cast members start to set up Fantasmic! They where lifting up the huge center light rack, and boy dose that thing go up high

! I wanted to stay and watch them put out the barges, but Snow white's show time was in 15 minutes so we ran to fantasyland. When we got there we realized that it was not for another 20 more minuts

. We stood around till about 5 minutes before show time and then we where let in. The entire front end of the theater was painted like a forest (up to the catwalks). On the far right of the stage there was a little castle tower thing that the Queen would spend most of her time on, and the lower tower wall could roll back to become the dungeon. The rest of the stage was mostly backdrops of trees, leafs, etc., with 2-3 levels and stares cut into the "rocks" at the front of the stage. The show began with the magic mirror (which is pretty cool) coming down and doing the usual "once open a time" stuff, followed by the 7 dwarfs making there entrance, and the rest is just like the book. My family has never really liked Snow white to much, and that may be the reason why we didn't really like it. The dwarfs are fine (especially Dopy

), but didn't find Disney magic in the prince

or the animals. The Witch costume is however a zillion times better then the one they use in Fantasmic! (did I just say that?

). After that we headed to Towmarrowland and hoped right on StarTours. It's sad that it never seems to have a wait anymore. I would like it better with even an 20 minute line, so I could take in the scenery. After that we headed to Autopia, and I got lucky and won a prize that I got after-words at the gift shop (a die-cast of one of the cars)

! I find that ride to be a bit boring now that I am getting older. I just wish my bro felt the same way.

Coming up next: The best parade in the world: Disney's Electrical Parade!

And later: Disney's Imagine... The best firework show you have ever seen

Your TR is great so far. Waiting patiently for more.

GATechGal · 09-03-2004, 02:47 PM

Sorry about the Snow White show. I'll be posting later about the Aladdin show. Did you see that? It really ROCKED! [img]http://smileys.*************.com/cat/10/10_1_20.gif[/img] You guys really got a lot of great stuff in. It just seemed more crowded when we were there.

We saw the snow white show twice on our last trip, and I think the performance really varies. The first time we saw it we were sitting towards the back and it was in the middle of the afternoon, and we had waited in line for about an hour(the day before we hadn't been able to even get in). And the show was okay, but not anything spectacular. We went to see it again because when we rode the train around the next evening, the magic mirror looked AWESOME at night. We sat up close (but not too close) the next night and it was an incredible show! The darkness really added to the effects, and it was like a totally different experience. And I agree, the Aladdin show rocks! I can't wait to hear about Fantasmic (my favorite too, by the way!) Did you have to wait until your feet fell asleep?
