7/15 Update
Last night, Ruben and I once again ventured to the park for a much-needed trip after nearly a month of not being there. Since DCA chooses to close at 9pm (for reasons I don't fully understand), we headed straight to the pier to get a ride on Toy Story Midway Mania. I was victorious, and here is a picture of our scoreboard:
By the time we got off the ride, DCA was closed so us and the entire park headed across the esplanade to Disneyland. Once inside, the park was preparing for fireworks so it was nearly impossible to get anywhere. We had to walk completely around the hub to get to Adventureland, but when we got in front of the castle, we had a perfect view of the fireworks for a good minute or two. While attempting to circle around the hub, a little girl behind us, approximately 10 years old, started screaming "I CAN'T GO NOWHERE GRANDMA!", followed by "I JUST WANT TO PUSH ALL THESE PEOPLE OUT OF MY FREAKIN' WAY!!!". Needless to say, Ruben and I got a good laugh out of that one. We also had another interesting encounter with a fellow guest in the park. While walking on the path connecting Frontierland, a girl i didn't know grabbed onto my arm and walked with us while talking to me. She asked my name, my age, if i was married, and then for my phone number. What a night! We did our usual assortment of rides, including Astro Blasters three times in a row with no line, but unfortunately the camera only worked on one of the three games (which also happened to be my worst!). On our way out, we had time for one more ride and decided to try out Astro Orbiter since it was right in front of us and I hadn't been on since the old Rocket Jet days above the People Mover platform. Bad choice, Adam! The ride basically is the equivalent to Dumbo on crack,and I was completely dizzy after getting off the ride. I'm definitely never trying that one again!
Total ride counts for the year have been updated, and that does it for this update, but I'll leave you with some pictures from last night..
Note: Has anyone else been having problems recently getting their pictures from Astro Blasters? Ever since they changed the format to send the picture directly in the e-mail it hasn't been working for me. I have all but given up on this ride because of it. -Ruben
