Rode this a few months back. Really didn't stand out for me. It's almost a rehash of Hollywood Dream in Japan.

O. M. F. G. Brazilian tour groups! :rant:

Nice pics, though, hatetofly!

I'm looking forward to riding tomorrow if what you say about the line is true.

Thanks for the compliments and yeah the Brazilian tour groups were in FULL FORCE today. There was one in orange and one in yellow. The one in yellow had to have thousands there it seemed like. Every ride, drink stand, bathroom, bench, smoking area, bar, restaurants, character meet and greets... THEY WERE THERE.

Someone told me that the Forbidden Journey ride wouldn't have express passes for at least 18 months because they need time to sort out any kinks and whatever else.

I think this may be the same case with the rip ride rock it. The ride seems to always come to a stand still whenever I've been in line for it, so until those come to a stop I'm sure we won't be seeing express passes for a while.

HP's running a LOT smoother, than RockIt, though. I'll laugh if Forbidden Journey gets it before this. And, honestly, I feel like FJ needs it more. You're basically running through the second floor of the Hogwarts queue.

Someone got hauled out of the Rockit loading station on a stretcher last night. Not sure what happened, but definitely not caused by the ride because they reopened it shortly thereafter. It was literally right at closing time because we were just outside the queue along with many other hopefulls, and they actually let us in a little after 9 since we had been waiting before park closing. Lots of empty seats (broken music? Broken restraints?) on the trains but that seems normal these days. Still a good ride since we were in row 6, aka airtime central.

Can't wait to ride this come August. So much new stuff for me to do since my last trip in 2006.

Those words were etched into my brain as i stood there for 20 minutes as the brazilian tour groups went on and on.Surely this has to be the most annoying pre ride video?

Yes, you are spot on about that.

Regarding the annoying queue video, my sister and I agreed that they need to play full-length music videos so there's some actual entertainment going on in the main queue room. After each video, there needs to be one of those little 30 second snippets with one or two of the characters talking about what the ride is about - read, NOT the safety video. The safety video should not start until you reach the stairs - you're typically waiting long enough in that part of the queue that you'll see the video loop at least two or three times. That's ALL you need. There is no reason you should have to endure an annoying safety video for 45 straight minutes.

Oh my God that is the most perfect idea I've ever heard! :happy:

Seriousely, though, I imagine Brazil, e.g. Rio De Janerio, has the largest airport in the region, and the South Americans congregate there to take their Disney trips.

Haha why thank you! I'm seriously surprised the idea hasn't been considered yet. I mean, there's Universal Studios Dubai, why not Brazil?

I thiought it was "chubby check," not that I haven't heard that stupid, stinking video enough times now to repeat it in my sleep.

You could be right about that one, I tried to zone it out after my ears started bleeding.

I stood in line for 4 hours listening and watching to that stupid video. I felt like I needed to go over to MIB and have my mind erased after such misery.

Wow. I was already going insane after 20 minutes. I can't even imagine what 4 hours of that video on repeat would be like.

How about we also campaign for some new songs? I know it takes a while to get rights for newly released stuff, but at least they could get some different stuff. (And get Harder Better Faster Stronger without an intro that lasts half the ride!)
