Cried because it was so damn MAGICAL!
In a land far, far away, there lived an Australian, who's never been to Disneyland, in the great wonderous city of Los Angeles. He had heard countless tales of how it changed people and how it was just fcking hectic.
I like thrill rides (Understatement. I FREAKIN' LOVE THRILL RIDES) but I have to say, Disneyland had me satisfied contrary to its INTENSE level of rides (sarcasm). The rides weren't like "OMG my brain is coming out of my nose", they were more like "OMG my brain is so magical and lovely. I want to just smile all day".
Walking around the park I found the staff to be very helpful and extremely happy. Happy to pickup your rubbish. Happy to take your photo for you when you meet THE ONE AND ONLY, Mickey Mouse in the flesh! That's right, he's REAL. Not Santa Claus real, Tooth Fairy real. Along with other various characters walking the streets, some of whom I didn't know, there was a PARADE. The kind you see at.. well, Disneyland and nothing less.
After the tragic 4th edition of Indian Jones, I thought he was dead to me (crystal skull? COME ON!). Then I went on the INDIANA JONES ADVENTURE RIDE. If you thought the last movie was bad, you'll LOVE THIS RIDE. Won't give too much away but sit at the driver seat in the front(you don't actually drive the car. So no, you don't need a drivers license).
Ever seen the TV show "The Twilight Zone"? Me either, but if the show was as good as the ride, it would've won an EMMY. Good build up, staff trying to be scary (some succeeding) and the added element of surprise really makes this ride worth the wait. Some cool mirror effect they had somewhere makes this THE ride to experience when you go to Disneyland. Do it!
Ferris wheels can be scary.. if you're 3 years old. OR ARE THEY. California Adventure Park. Where they make ferris wheels scary. That's about it really. Cool rollercoaster called "California Screamin'" and some other ride that I can't remember. Can't have been that great.
Yeah, the teacup ride was crap. Don't waste your time on "It's A Small World" either. It sucks.
Note: You NEED 2 FULL days in Disneyland. I was all Disney'd out by the end of my 12 hour long visit and didn't even get to see most of the shows. They only open for 12 hours. Crazy right? It's like they only want us to be happy 12 hours of the day.
Cabramatta has nothing on LA. For the first time in my life, I was scared to catch the bus to work. I'll let you think about that. That is all.
Tune in next time. Six Flags Magic Mountain. OMG my brain is coming out of my nose.
