We were all looking forward to Tower of Terror when we went for the first time this summer, but we were disappointed that it wasn't more fun or scary.

Our experience? Pretty much like yours. Jungle Ride of Terror. Pinocchio's very terrible ride. Also, the Soaring Through California and various other simulator rides gave my child a twitch for at least a year. We have lots of pictures of her crying too. Great scrapbook. Didn't experience the Tower, it looked way too scary. But the low point of the trip for me was also the ferris wheel-it was beyond terrifying to me. When the cars moved, I nearly suffered a full on anxiety attack as well.<br /><br />Ahhhhh, the magic. All to the tune of about $2K.Land familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779374934600761620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-3086765929704499162010-01-09T15:30:22.390-07:002010-01-09T15:30:22.390-07:00Oh and I forgot to tell you Morgan went with Boyd ...Oh and I forgot to tell you Morgan went with Boyd and Derek on the ride with the vomit visors SEVERAL times.

I live in CA, about 10 miles from Disneyland and am a frequent visitor. I have never laughed so hard at the very, very accurate description of the "vomit visors".

My husband who I will never trust again, took spinning to a whole new level. I was sick for the rest of our day. Ferris Wheels. Six Flags is connected to our local fair when it comes in August. The kids and my dear hubby (yet again) convinced me to go on. My son and I were sitting on one side and daughter and hubby on the other. It was night time and the wind was blowing. I don't mind heights when I'm strapped in, but just sitting there waiting to fall to my death, not so much. They enjoyed looking over the edge to further traumatize me and he wanted my camera too! What is with these guys? Right, like I'm gonna release my death grip on the bar next to me of the cage to reach across, risk rocking it, and hand you my camera. Right. Then the ride attendant was not paying attention and almost left us on for another full ride of doom! I screamed top of my lungs that HEY WE WERE ALREADY HERE AND WE DON'T WANT A FREE RIDE THANKS!!! I like my feet planted firmly on the ground, unless it's on a really cool coaster. Glad you had a good vacation even though you missed a Michael's coupon :)Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485549646393512089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-47233438389646406302010-01-07T12:32:56.474-07:002010-01-07T12:32:56.474-07:00RS made me stop whatever I was doing with his huge...RS made me stop whatever I was doing with his huge belly laugh.

I'm pretty sure that could have been a photo of me you took, except I didn't hug any of the men next to me. Although, my new husband when we went to Disney world for our honeymoon made me go on the ride. again. And I'm pretty sure I looked EXACTLY like Zoe. :-P<br /><br />I can't recall any ferris wheels at Disney World, so go there next time. it's good times.<br /><br />Happy New Year!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792414596633206657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802790462395863282.post-26347987887490550462010-01-07T10:55:13.754-07:002010-01-07T10:55:13.754-07:00It looks like a great time...except for the terror...It looks like a great time...except for the terror:-)Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099425493742842588noreply@blogger.com
