Paradise Pier power outage?
On Thursday, the 25th, my family and I were spending our last day in Disneyland/DCA and we chose to sleep in and be there for the opening of DCA that morning. Once we got into the park we were figuring out where we wanted to go first, Tower of Terror or California Screamin', it's a tough choice obviously. Anyway, we chose Screamin' so we waited for them to open up the pier and let us line up. When we finally got to the rides they were all down. ALL of them, Screamin', TSMM, Maliboomer, and the Fun Wheel. It was pathetic. They were allowing people to line up and wait for TSMM to open, so we jumped in line thinking it would be a really quick thing. While standing there we watched the CM's run test on Screamin' which consisted only of them rolling the train at the launch forward then bringing it back. Again and again. After about 30 mins of this, we decided to bail and head over to Disney for some food.
It was the saddest thing ever. I don't think I have ever seen Disney so unprepared. We were told that the Pier had experienced a power outage, but no one came down to announce that to the crowd waiting to get to the pier before opening. And if they did, they weren't very thourogh about it. As you can imagine, there were not very many happy campers on the pier that morning.
Was anyone there that day? And if you were, how long did it take for everything to finally open up?
But on a good note, my family and I filled a nice family in about single riders and how to effectively use fastpasses while we were waiting for TSMM to open :]
