Well, yesterday I went to Disney Land/DCA to go ride Tower of Terror, because my Uncle works there and I was the only one in my family who hadn't been on it. So anyways, it was some of the most fun I've ever had at DCA, and Disney Land was still pretty much like it always is, except not as long of lines as it usually has. I went on ToT, (Tower of Terror) x2, "Screamin" California x2, The Wild Mouse that has a difficult name to spell, and Grizzly Rapids, and "Soaring" over California. THen I went on a couple of rides at Disney Land that I won't review about because they all are family rides, and most of you don't care about them. And I'm gonna rate and give a summary of my opinion on the ride, its a 4 asterick system.
ToT - **** Possibly one of the best "Flat Ride" I have ever been on, I do believe its considered that, but I'm not sure.[^] Anyways, this ride is my favorite in the whole park, it has surprising drops, lots of ejector air, and some of the best themeing and special effects I have ever seen. (not sure if its better than the Mummy's Revenge though, haven't been on it, but it sounds good) Any Ways, the line moves really fast, its set up like the haunted mansion in that you go into an elevator thing and then you continue the que down below, and when you down below, it only takes a minute to get on. The only difference is there is no elevator down, you go into a movie and the have a 2 minute movie about the Tower of Terror, and the Twilight zone, and so on and so forth. Then you go into the "base floor" and then your in a room full of old boilers and junk, then you wait about 5 minutes and your on. Then it starts and then the ride starts, giving you some great special effects, followed by tons and tons of air time. The best part is, you just wearing seat belts. [:D] No other restrainer crap to kill the enjoyment of the ride. Anyways, I won't tell much more, cuz it could ruin the surprises in the ride. I reccomend going there just to ride that ride, I think it was that good.
Screamin - *** Good lil Intamin Coaster, the best Intamin I've been on, the only problem is they have those annoying OTS and I was looking at it, and it does nothing, its basically acts as a lap bar, except with the annoyance of the shoulder crap. Anyways, this ride is awsome, delivering lots of air time, not as much as ToT, but still a lot. You start with an LIM launch, then you fly through a camal back which, surprisingly, gives you lots of air, even if you aren't going that fast over the top of it. Then you swing through a couple of turns and end 1/4 of the ride with an LIM lift. It takes you to the top and gives you a lil boost at the very top sending you down a hill that will slam a non tightly adjusted harnes down onto your lap. Then you go through a turn then hit a loop that you just rip right through. Then you Go up on to a incline to some break, and get some floater air, then you gurn some more and do some more junk, until you eventually get to my favorite part, the bunny hills!!! You get so much air on this part of the ride. Some one had dropped a quarter, which I still have and I will take to all theme parks now, and well, during the second time on it, I was watching it fly up outo the car and land back in it, it was great!!! It was a great!!! its another must ride, ride.
Maliboomer - ** this ride is alright, its not that great any more, nothing special about it, although I think you at least get -1 g's at the top, my legs slammed hard agains the restraints, and I swore there was 120 pounds pressing up against those restraints. Other than that major ejector air at the top, the ride sucks
Mulholland Madness - **.5 - Great Ride, nice lateral g's, only problem is there no air time. But still fun.
Grizzly Rapids - **.5 - this ride is fun, although could be better. It has several large drops, lots of rapids, and geysers that have the potential to drench you if you hit it one of them at the right time. This isn't my favorite water ride, but its in my Top 5. My all time favorite water ride is the rapid ride at Sea WOrld Sandiego, that ride is crazy.
Disney Land.
Matterhorn Bobsleds - *** Great Ride, feels like a woody, the track is very bumpy, even though they retrack it every year, this ride has massive lats, and great scenery making this a good ride, even if over all, it is kinda crappy. but still I like it, it will serve up smiles every time.
This is the end of my review, and I will sit here and be pissed off cuz my bro decided that he would cancel my trip to Knott's and do his homework, which he currently isn't doing, and my mom won't let me go by myself, because she's afraid I'll get bored and not get my money's worth out of it.[:(!] SO, I'm extremely mad. Anyways, if I go to another park, in the future, I'll tell you all about it, unless its cedar point, cuz then their already would have been sumtin about it.
