Earthquakes & Disneyland

After being awoken by a 5.6 magnitude earthquake on this morning, we headed off to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure for the day...

It was my first time to the California Adventure park, though I've been to the normal Disneyland one many times. The california one certainly has a different feel to it, personally I probably wouldn't buy a ticket for just it on its own, however it's definitely worth visiting. Disneyland The best part was the California Screamer Roll-a-coaster, fast and smooth-as due to it being electromagnetic, I was right at the front too! The Hollywood Hotel of Terror was really really cool, kind of a 1930's themed hotel twilight-zone ride. I also saw/when on Soarin' Over California, Muppet*Vision 3D, Orange Stinger and Redwood Creek Adventure Area among others...

In the actual Disneyland, I when on the a few of the smaller rides (Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Storybook Land Canal Boats, The Tree-House, etc) as I've been there quite a few times and been on most of the major rides a lot in the last few years. Of the major ones I did Indiana Jones (and managed to get some inside photos this time around too!), the Matterhorn (this one is compulsory ;), The Haunted Mansion (which has been recently refitted with new technology and is heaps better now), Star Tours, Pirates of the Caribbean and the new Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters ride. This is an interactive ride where you actually shoot stuff, get points and compete against your friends for the highest score. It rocks though I got my arse kicked by Mike & Wendy, however they have both been on this ride several times before... ;)
