@JudyGarlandRocks No, they didn't say anything. I walked right up, camcorder in hand, and it wasn't like they couldn't see it. They didn't say a word. I've had very good luck videotaping a lot of things at Disneyland and Disney World.
I go to disneyland 1 time a weekend because i have a annual passport i go on Matterhorn Bobsleds first and when i go to Disney`s California Adventure i go on The Twilight Zone Tower Of Terror!
Disney does not stop people from bringing in handheld camcorders into their parks, and except for certain shows, does not prohibit their use in rides and attractions.
nice job blackjackjoe, me and the fam are heading up this Sunday 2-24-08(if it quits raining). I love this ride, I think it captures the feeling of the movie in a pretty amazing way. When the CDA vehicles shine their lights on you and you can feel the wind off the rotors of the helicopter hovering overhead, man - it's like you're in the movie.
Has anyone noticed (i'm sure you have) the smell of ginger in the sushi place? Classic.
Thanks for the compliment. I have to admit that I didn't notice the smell. I don't have a strong sense of smell, I have to try hard to smell everything when I ride Soarin'. My next trip is starting March 24th. I'll try to pay attention and see if I can smell the ginger.
the reason they made it the D-ticket ride is because it is not a rollercoaster, it also is a little kids ride and that is how they got the letter D. But to let you know it was very popular than A,B.C.E tickets.
The video was shot over a year about 18 months ago. The ride was soft opened right around New Years. Officialy, I think it opened somewhere between Mid-January, early February.
It's not a fast ride, but there's a lot going on that I wasn't fully able to capture on video, and if it was much faster, you'd have a hard time taking it all in.
I liked this! I didn't know there was such a ride, and since i'm such a big fan of the movie this was a wonderful experience - contrary to that idiots comment about the lack of emmersion; I totaly disagree! Left me very excited!
This felt hardly like a ride at all to watch, even if you don't experience the thrills behind a ride you can at least normally see or hear it in the riders reactions, this was more like some kinda tour guided advertisement for the film... made as cheaply as they could get away with for that matter, there's no sense of interaction between rider and attraction at all... you might as well just watch the film itself
I think this is an example of a ride with a lot of flair but not a lot of heart. Sure, it told the store. Sure, it was beautiful. I just didn't feel anything while watching the video. No real emotions with the characters or music. Also, the lack of moving mouths was kind of weak. Even the kids in "Small World" and the ghosts in "Mansion" move more than that.
Very interesting! A great video, but the ride is annoying in the sense that they have obviously put the entire blame on Randall and have not mentioned Waternoose in any way whatsoever.
Well, in a Disney dark ride they usually don't have time to set up the WHOLE plot, it would have been too much to include that sub plot with Waternoose, it would have made the ride way too long. dark rides usually just give the basic plot. And in this case it was; Mike and Sully have to get Boo home before Randall gets her. Simple and sweet. For people who have never seen the movie, they just need to know the basics.
They do a nice job of directing the eye to encourage following the story, but I wish they'd at least try to synch mouth movements to dialogue. It looks so weird. It's 2006 for crying out Boo!
thye have a monsters inc ride?

ArmandJM 4 years ago
I don't have video for a lot of the other attractions, but if you tell me what you're interested in, I can look thru my tapes and see what I have.
I put up this video because at the time the ride was in Soft Opening and not too many people had seen it yet.

i always love the ending but the animatronics are horriblr. why couldnt they be like the ones in pirates of the carribean
DisneyFreakToTheMax 4 years ago
Because its a D-ticket.
Just like the Fantasyland rides.
And its the most advanced D-ticket in the whole resort.
hypnodude 4 years ago
sorry to use the word "horrible" like that
i was just mad to see that this park growing in technology and couldnt make these you know..
but yea.
Do you know why they named the Name of the animatronics "D-Tickets"

the reason they made it the D-ticket ride is because it is not a rollercoaster, it also is a little kids ride and that is how they got the letter D. But to let you know it was very popular than A,B.C.E tickets.

Doesn't look as impressive as some of the Fantasyland darkrides are, but still pretty good.
When did this ride open up? 'Cause I was there only 3 months before this video was shot. :S

That's because a video isn't the same as experiencing it in person. There's a big difference. B-)
