    Talking Funny habit you do when riding attractions

    I find that everytime I ride Big Thunder Mountain, I have to reach my hand into the spraying water at the top of the hill and splash whoever I'm with. Also, while waiting in line for the Pirates of the Caribbean, I catch myself trying to get the first "smell" of the attraction. Im sure most of you know the smell I'm talking about.....a little musty, Pirates of the Carribeany.....if that makes sense :)

    I do both of those. I also try to change up the picture at the end of the rides. Do something different for the camera.

    I do the same thing as Executioner. I'll ride the same ride several times and pose differently each time. I write down the numbers of each one and then buy the one I like best at the end of the day. I usually ride in the front on Splash Mountain, so when I'm riding with family or friends I extend my arms out on each side and spread my fingers apart as the water begins to spray so it sprays them worse. If I'm getting soaked, they're getting soaked too!

    Another good one is to sit in the very front of the Matterhorn Bobsleds and when the splash down comes, have your arms extended over the sides near the rim. Your hands act as a giant paddle splashing everyone behind you. Very fun!

    On Space Mountain I have to touch the corridor walls when you first enter the mountain..Dont ask me why...I think because it used to be padded...On Matterhorn I always look up just after the lift(FL side) to look at the staging area for Tinkerbell...On Pirates I close my eyes just after the auction scene and remember what used to be...On HMH I Blow my nose(before the ride) so my senses are clear to smell the wonderful pumpkin smell...On Indie..well I just hope it doesnt break down...LOL

    That's what I do on Splash, but never tried it on Matterhorn! Figured there's not enough water to mess with. I'll have to try it to see! People hate sitting with me on Splash Mountain, wonder why? LOL

    It only works on the first splash down cause you are going fast enough. The second you already slowed down too much to make a significant splash. Just keep your hands out near the metal loops on the outside of the bobsled to hold on to with the palms face down. And SPLASH!!!!!

    rides like Space Mountain, Pirates, Splash Mountain, Screamin' coaster, etc. that most guests step on the seats to support themselves to get off, I do the opposite. Hahaha, I find it rude because people sit on it, so I don't step on the seats at all. It's a habit now.

    I always have to touch walls. On everyride. I touch a wall, the rocks, the window frames. Just something so I've had contact with the queue. I think it makes me feel like I've left some of me there, and I"m taking some of it back with me. I'm strange haha!

    I always used to subconsciously "ruin" some bits of Star Tours by quoting Rex RIGHT before he says a line (I say "ruin" because I doubt anyone heard me). And even if it's not a rollercoaster, my hands will instantly fly up on Indy. When I see Captain EO, I always make sure I'm in the front row as close to the center as possible. OH! On Toy Story Mania, in the final game, several screens are placed together, and your projectile fired in the direction of the other screen will go flying on the other screen, so I ALWAYS get distracted by this, thus letting my partner beat me.

    On big drops like the final splash in Splash Mountain or the drop before the loop in CA Screamin', I scream for a tiny part of it near the top, but then for some reason it breaks off. It's like "AAAAAAAAaaaAAaaahhaaaaahhhAAA--" Breaks off like a broken radio.
    Life's a happy song!

    I always lay eyes on Max, Buff, and Melvin inside the Pooh ride. I just feel better knowing they're still there.

    Remember that NOT getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck

    I always wink at the portrait of Captain Gracey in the hallway with the breathing doors on the Haunted Mansion.
    I keep wishing it could be that way, because my world would be a Wonderland.
