A single snap that I manage to take since moving to iPhone 3G. More to come tomorrow from Disneyland Paris!

I see nice lips.

Those pics can be twins. Harvey Two-Face like!

@Hanxz

Yup, using iPhone 3G. Paris weather last few days reported clear skies, although temperatures are dipping to 10 degrees and below. Should be a great outing for picture snapping.

I cannot sleep now, sleep later in aircraft. My shift working is late in the early morning, so I need to adjust myself to the different timezone and work shift, so that I dont doze off when I'm suppose to be working.

Bus driver. Diesel engine, with bell buttons when you want to stop at a station.

Except that my bus flies.

Picture too big! Either use thumbnails or shrink it to 640x480.

Takes a while to upload, and editing as well, but here it is, my trip to Disneyland Paris photos! Please forgive the not-so-professional nature of my photo-taking skills, I'm a schlep when it comes to this.


Took the SNCF train from CDG Aeroport 2, to Chatelet le Halles, and then change track to Marne la Valley Chessy. While on the second train, a street performer came in and serenaded us with, surprise, American songs. Must have figured that the bulk of visitors of Disneyland Paris are English-speaking ones. After his performance, came around holding out his hat for anyone wanting to pass a Euro or two to him.



But as usual, before any hard walking and touring is done, as a theme-park commando, you need to stock up on energy. Had breakfast in McD, and the other two pics are the more upmarket Rainforest Cafe, and a snap of the hot-air balloon, from underneath a giant toadstool. Yes, you can ride the balloon, but they give priority to those who stay over at the Disney hotels.

First stop, Walt Disney Studios! The huge billboard showing the latest attraction, Twilight Zone's Tower of Terror beckons daring patrons. Time to head past the Studio gates!


Inside the compound, you'll see this beautiful bronze depiction of that unforgettable scene of Apprentice Mickey doing his magic in Fantasia. Guess how I made that shot look wavy?



Inside the giant hangar-like Studio 1. Interior made to look like Sunset Boulevard, with eateries and movie-shooting equipments alongside the street. They do live recordings in here for TV shows and movies as well, so look your best, SMILE! Outside on the other side, the staple in every Disney theme park, statue of Walt and Mickey. Beautiful!

This electronic messageboard details which attractions are open, and how long their wait times are. They have moved to updating the board via manual update(a Cast member will have to edit the times) to auto-update via Wifi, from all the attractions in the park. They also offer Bluetooth instant-update feature for 3 of the major rides here, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Rock n' Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith, and Crush's Coaster, at their respective waiting area and inside the restaurants in Studio 1, so that while you have your meal, you can turn on the Bluetooth on your mobile phones, and receive updates. Very cool!



No time to waste, on to the Tower of Terror! The ride basically chronicles the disaster that happened to 5 patrons of this tower, which was once a prominent hotel called Hollywood Tower Hotel. Once fateful night in 1939, 5 patrons stepped into the elevator, and never seen again. The entire elevator shaft disappeared as it was struck by mysterious lightning, as they plummet 13 storeys to the ground, but never hitting ground, as the elevator cab disappears......into the Underworld perhaps. Fast-forward to now, you are invited to ascertain the truth behind this story, by boarding the service elevator, and in that effect, be the star of of your own Twilight Zone episode. As you are ushered into the dilapidated hotel, you are brought into the study/library and as the door closes behind you, this preshow movie clip comes on an old TV:-



This video is the whole experience, more or less, of the Disney California Adventure park in LA, which is the carbon-copy of the Paris version. Click and watch, if you DARE!

More to come,we still have Rock n' Roller Coaster, Crush's Coaster, Moteur Action Stunt Show Spectacular, Studio Tram Tour, and the other theme park, Disneyland Paris, yet to explore! I need to pack up my luggage and get ready for flight back to KL. Au Revoir!

Lost my mood on posting the rest of the pics, I dont think I have to explain why.

Great shots Bigfoot-X.

To the defense of those who missed this TT, it was posted in the Winpwn thread, which may not be relevant to the guys who either pwn their iPhones using Mac solutions or have no need for pwnage at all. So let's give those who missed this the benefit of the doubt. Next time, I think, if we want to make another TT, post it in its own separate thread, not nestled in a thread that some may not visit at all.

There is this picture that I still cant forget, how different it was Christmas in Auckland.



It is not a White Christmas in Auckland, it is a Warm Christmas! It is really weird seeing Santa Claus parading down Queen Street in his warm red costume, in the hot winter sun!

Looking forward to another Christmas in Auckland.

I jumped off that. Want to do the "Walk", bro?

A little bit skinnier, and the head telend more to the left, and it would have looked exactly like the "WTF/Huh?" cat pic I've posted a while back.

Goddamn! Your carpet is the same as mine!

Space Mountain Version II. Best ridden while listening to this tune. Are you ready? Do you even......DARE!?

What I'm gonna try and do is post a single snap from my collection, taken from the iPhone of course, every day. I'll try and keep with that promise, but it may slip once I'm at work.

Yup, that's from Parc Disneyland. That telescoping crevice, is the launch tunnel, before they blast you out with hydraulics and big explosion of exhaust gas, into "space".

Doc Brown actuallly needed my help capturing Biff Tannen gone rogue, when he stole a DeLorean and zip off in time! The only remaining Back To The Future Ride in the world left, in Universal Studios Japan, Osaka. Best ridden while listening to Huey Lewis and The News' "Back In Time" . 88 miles per hour!

@RX330, cannot leh, if I reveal all pics then no pics here to post day by day.

It's the Back to The Future ride, with you riding in that DeLorean.

The American versions, both in LA and Orlando, have been replaced and retrofitted into The Simpsons ride, so the only place you can ride this is in Osaka.

Or contracted fleas.
