Well I have now been on Tower of Terror at DCA 5 times – three times on the middle shaft and once each on the ends. If you are facing the front of the attraction the shafts are Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. I like Charlie the best, just because the show sequences are better. So far, the drop sequences have all been similar – no…
April 22, 2004Today I got a rare treat. Not only did my ride operator shift turn into a working lead shift, but towards the end of the shift there was an all-call on the radio that Henry was having me carry. They were evacuating Pirates and all available help was needed. So Henry and I trudged over to the ride and proceeded to lend a hand. I…
April 19, 2004Yesterday, all us cast members who were working received permission to go on Tower of Terror in costume. It was actually a lot of fun. I tried to get some people I knew to go with me, but I was in a hurry to get there because I had to get back to the Pooh ride before I started. The ride itself was great. I…
April 17, 2004I scanned the only ride photo that we bought while we were at the Tokyo Disney Resort. Here it is: I especially like our facial expressions, despite the fact Daniel insist I have the same look as our Tower of Terror from Florida. You decide..
April 15, 2004Well I’ve 90% recovered from my bug that hit after the Finger Incident of 2004. Sadly, the finger is still worse for the wear and makes typing difficult. I am back to my 1995 level of typing – aka the hunt and peck. It’s to difficult to try and type normally since I keep tapping my ring finger too hard. Lookswise, most of the nasty…
April 14, 2004Man do I feel terrible. My finger is on the mend, but I think the shock of it has finally opened the door for the flu to get me. It feels similar to the one I struggled through last summer, I just hope I don’t end up in the emergency room again. The worst part is the aches and pains – I’m not very feverish,…
April 8, 2004Last night at work, I was in rotation sending a break for someone. I was loading some guests and after I had closed the third door on the beehive, the guest asked if they could sit in the back row. So I reached down and unlatched the door. Somehow, when I was removing my left ring finger, it got caught. So when I tried to…
April 6, 2004Is the statue traveling? Nah, I visited all four! For those of you who are not Disney experts the order is: Disneyland in California, Magic Kingdom in Florida, Tokyo Disneyland in Japan, and the Walt Disney Studios in France. I put them in the order of my favorites – I wish Paris’ statue was in the Disneyland Park that way I could have four castle…
April 2, 2004Yesterday, I finally picked up my tickets to the Cast Member preview of the new Tower of Terror attraction that is set to open in May at DCA. It looks like the same group that went to the park in 2002 will finally be together again. Not sure how long Granny is going to last, but we will probably get her a wheelchair. Only Dianne,…
March 30, 2004It has been a tough week all around trying to get back into the swing of things. I think over the last couple of days, I am finally ready to get back to the site. Yesterday, I processed all of the Tokyo Disneyland pics and now I am working on the Tokyo DisneySea pics. After that, I will be typing up my Trip Diary and…
