DisneyLand Paris
Just came back from Disney. I’ve been there before, but it was still alot of fun.
Last time I went I was afraid of loopings, corkscrews, and pretty much rode the Big Thunder Mountain to death. I had a chance to make up for all that.
So the things I’ll probably never forget from the first day are the Indiana Jones coaster, and Space Mountain: Mission 2.
The former was a short, fun ride. The line wasn’t too long, so I went in a second time. It had two steep drops, followed by a slanted curve downward and then straight into a looping. The rest was just a bit bumpy, but it was still nice.
The blastoff in Space Mountain wasn’t as thrilling as I expected, but the ride was bloody fast. The ride was pretty dark, so I didn’t see alot, but I sure as hell felt it. It was rather short aswell, though.
Best coaster was the second day, in Walt Disney Studios, the Aerosmith ride. It had a blastoff aswell, so we were sitting there at the spot, and I was thinking to myself the blastoff would be the easy part of the ride. But boy, was I ever so wrong… I was doing roughly 70 kmph before I figured out what the hell just happened. Good stuff.
The best thing is that I really should’ve seen it coming. The boarding room was an L-shaped hall that looked like some sort of metallic music hall. The entrance was on one end, the boarding on the other. After the boarding, the train went around the corner and stopped at the entrance for blastoff.
So when we entered the room, a train was launched right in front of us. It was filled mostly with girls, and they weren’t really paying attention to the countdown, but to the line next to them waiting to board. Imagine the screems when they got sucked down that launch pipe… hilarious.
