New Test Track
We got to ride the “new” test track a couple times yesterday and here are a few shots. Yes a bit tron like 🙂 Our son loved to design his own car.
Opening of The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow
On Dec 6th a new Pirate attraction opens at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow. This attraction is a walk through where guests will experience what it would be like to walk in the footsteps of Captain Jack. Are you ready to be a pirate?? Below is the video of the Imagineers discussion on the ride and be sure to head over to Disney Parks Blog for more information.
Did you know? Magic Kingdom Ferry Boats
Did you know? Should you take the ferry or the monorail, always a tough call after you arrive at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC)? A bit of history, after determining that their two steamships were slow and couldn’t keep up with the number of guests at the Magic Kingdom park, WED Enterprises designed double-decker ferry boats modeled after the ones used on Staten Island. They named these the Magic Kingdom I and Magic Kingdom II, cleaver huh? They are better known today as the Admiral Joe Fowler (I) and Richard F Irvine (II). They would later add the Kingdom Queen, to be renamed General Joe Potter. Each of these boats can hold up to 650 guests and takes about 5 minutes to travel the 1 mile across the Seven Seas Lagoon. So next time you have the decision, head over to the ferry boats and enjoy the relaxing ride across the lagoon.
