- Got my Wonderland pass. Had to wait forever for processing, but that means Tas can TAKE ME WITH HER when she decides to visit.
- Rode Pysclone for the first time. That was an awesome ride.
- Bought and inhaled 3 dozen Tiny Tom donuts with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moonygirl. They were awesomeness.
- Sawmoonygirl eat straight icing sugar. That was special.
- Got to ride The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera on a sugar high, again withmoonygirl. That was insane. Most of the buildup was a blur, but I think we were singing "Stop the Pigeon" in the line... or somewhere... I remember singing it, not just where. That ride is so many levels of cheese. There's some parts that really show their age, like the Bedrock scene, where the combining computer and cel animation failed briefly with a shadow from the animation cell casting a shadow over the 3D backdrop. Given the film was from way back in 1989, I'm willing to forgive. The biggest letdown was that Dastardly sounds ODD in the prefilm. My guess is that it was Jim Cummings doing the voice and not Paul Winchell. He sounds fine when he's having a freak out (for example, all during the ride film), but normal chatter sounded off.
However, this is only the nitpicking of a lame geek and not worth the webspace it's printed on. Come on people, dorky villians on the big screen! Enjoy it, for word is that the rights to the H-B characters at the parks are going to expire soon and then we'll be stuck with all Spongebob and Dora the Explorer all the time!
- Came home after riding a few more rides.
- When over to the Lisa's place with the extended family and tried to blow up a small chunk of Canada with fireworks.
- Decided it was too late to go home and am going to take the GO Train in tomorrow to work.
- Currently working on Signal Loss.
