We're on Holiday (pt 2)

6th November:

Went back to the Magical Kingdom today, went on the much vaunted and big wait time "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" - er. Get the lawyers involved pronto tonto! Utter pants. 50 minute wait to go round a short track with a vague Pooh (in both senses of the word) theme. It was only livened up to slight coma level by the ride breaking down at the exit and thus terrifying the kids into thinking they would have to spend more time on it. Avoid this ride at all costs. "Many" implies more than 1. This ride had none! 0/10

Peter Pan's flight was just the same, except darker and with a crocodile type of theme. Wife got scared because of the "floating over London" bit. But since it didn't have bloody Pooh in it then gets a 1/10 rating.

Mickey's PhilharMagic 3Dmovie thing was good. Same type of special effects as the "Bugs Life" movie. I like these sorts of things therefore it gets a 7/10. Definitely worth seeing.

The Barnstomer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm is a kiddies rollercoaster. Rather short, not much in the way of death-defying drops. But good for big wimps. 3/10.

Splash Mountain is, as the name suggests involves mountains and water. A nice big drop at the end, you don't get that wet and it has an annnoying "Brer" theme. Kids love it. Went on 5 times over 2 days. 7/10.

Big Thunder Moutain Railroad is fun. Like the Barnstomer but for adults this time. Not overly fast but chuffing fun none the less. Our big girl hated it as it has a dark section, but little one loved it as she is "not scared of anything, Daddy!" 7/10

Toontown Hall of Fame Tent is where you get to meet the Disney Princesses and somesuch other things. Girls loved it. I think this was their best bit so far as they got to spend a few minutes with each of the 3 princesses, privately without hoards of onlookers. If it wasn't for the annoyingly long queue it would get a 10, so 9/10 for this one.

Stitch's Great Escape is in the Futureland bit of the park. No queueus and no Fastpass available. Hmm. I wonder why? Maybe because it is shit. 1/10. Would have got zero but it didn't have Pooh in it.

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin is an interactive shooty game. You get guns (good), the ability to spin your pod around the place like a muppet (good) and points. A bit short (only 3 or 4 minutes in the game itself shooting stuff) and some nice special effects towards the end. 7/10
