You probably won't see me on the photo they take on the drop because I'm balled up in my seat like one would be if their plane was going down.<BR/><BR/>I won't ride Kali River Rapids because I just don't see a joy in walking around the parks wet. I walk around Animal Kingdom and see all kinds of people sopping wet. Just not appealing to me.<BR/><BR/>Now, I have the excuse of very expensive camera equipment to discourage my wife from making me go on those "wet" ridesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070035707769272213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938171689031143241.post-56826789630187492942007-12-01T00:57:00.000-05:002007-12-01T00:57:00.000-05:00But see, my problem is that I don't like getting w...But see, my problem is that <B>I</B> don't like getting wet... <B>especially</B> at a theme park. Splash Mountain, whatever the variation, just sounds to me like a recipe on how to ruin my day.<BR/><BR/>I think, well, every other ride in the resort will compensate for my missing on Splash Mountain... Otherwise, Splash Mountain would have to be good enough to compensate for every other ride, since it's a guarantee that I'm heading back to the hotel after riding it.Cory Grosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141983255020503557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938171689031143241.post-12322019471532120912007-11-30T19:16:00.000-05:002007-11-30T19:16:00.000-05:00The generalization that Japanese do not enjoy gett...The generalization that Japanese do not enjoy getting wet is pretty true, but it sure doesn't stop them from getting effing SOAKED at their parks - they had a parade a few seasons back that was basically like getting hit with a firehose on wheels. TDL even has a seasonal event now where they put up water misters and such in various places around the park where you can (unexpectedly?)get wet.<BR/><BR/>Cory, DO NOT miss Tokyo's Splash Mountain for ANY REASON - it's the best, biggest, longest and most complex version of the ride, and that version of the attraction rivals Disneyland's Pirates for being a fully, brilliantly realized attraction. The other two are like peanuts in comparison.FoxxFurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00443092111956989561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938171689031143241.post-46632568071992277812007-11-30T11:06:00.000-05:002007-11-30T11:06:00.000-05:00Yep... http://www.tdrfan.com/Yep... http://www.tdrfan.com/Cory Grosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141983255020503557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938171689031143241.post-33129688891061734632007-11-29T19:27:00.000-05:002007-11-29T19:27:00.000-05:00cory--thanks for the update.

It has it all - story, theme, thrills, chills... you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll... oh, sorry... <BR/><BR/>Anyway, let me shamelessly plug here and let you know that if you're a fan of the mountain and the Disney Mountains book, I'm going to have an exclusive interview with Imagineer/Author Jason Surrell on the WDW Radio Show this week to talk all about it. <BR/><BR/>AND... he let's us all know what's next on the horizon for him... which I must admit may be his bets project - ever! :)Lou Mongello - WDWRadio.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02665154666946238543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938171689031143241.post-66277194182645641722007-11-29T09:28:00.000-05:002007-11-29T09:28:00.000-05:00Good call, Jessica...uh, it was a test!

Just to see if you are actually reading every word of every post!<BR/><BR/>what is interesting is that Andy had it right and I changed it. shame on me!<BR/><BR/>Cory--I read a book <I>somewhere</I> that talked about changing all of the splashes at Tokyo Disneyland since the guests tend to dress up more. They had to work on changing the splash at the beginning of Pirates for this reason. I will have to look through my resources to see if I can find the Splash Mountain info.<BR/><BR/>But keep us updated on your trip plans!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11023449275486420957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938171689031143241.post-21291785939454999482007-11-29T08:55:00.000-05:002007-11-29T08:55:00.000-05:00I can't tell what is real and what is false in you...I can't tell what is real and what is false in your report, so I'll have to ask you outright: is it true that Tokyo's Splash Mountain has reduced splash? And reduced by how much? <BR/><BR/>Because, like, I wanna' ride a Splash Mountain but I have issues with getting wet at theme parks too. If Splash Mnt. makes a nice wave but doesn't make me a drowned rat, I might actually ride this one when I go to Tokyo in '09.Cory Grosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141983255020503557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938171689031143241.post-31130938772583381792007-11-29T01:37:00.000-05:002007-11-29T01:37:00.000-05:00Great post about one of my favorite rides!

I remember going there for a day in 2000 (without doing much research) and walking all around Frontierland looking for it. <BR/><BR/>Their Big Thunder Mountain and Phantom Manor make up for it though. :-)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126781526636146412noreply@blogger.com
