Default Toy Story Midway Mania Grand Opening Trip Report.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT2FZVuuyII

Details not mentioned in the report:

Hot and muggy day. Both parks were packed. Attendance was 83,000 people. It was one of the busiest days me and other people have seen in their lives.

The Grand Opening ceremony was closed off to the public...

Oh...and I went on TOT for the 2nd time in my life...

^YAY!!! My ace in the hole! Single rider line. So about how fast did the line move? Like a few feet every 10 minutes like nemo ? (course not) or like a 20 feet each minute?

Will single rider be permanent or is it temporaily there. If it is permanent then I couldn't be happier. I was supposed to go today but I was so stupid as to forget that I was blocked out. I guess I'll have to check it out on Sunday.

I know that David that you speak of. But it was not him. It was Chuck.

David has worked lead for many rides. Buzz, Star Tours, and Nemo. Is he close to Aaron's position? Cause Aaron won some CM award. I don't see him around anymore.

Aaron is tall and is bald...

Cool! I haven't had the chance to personally speak with him, but I have seen him around.

He looks like he runs a right ship.
