No laser effects
No fog effects
No fiber optic star field behind the screen

You've discovered why I chose my screen name...

LP'ers post on Facebook from the parks via their phones regularly... Just like they upload "live" photos here.

And thanks, Dean!

I'm bummed about the missing effects, but still looking forward to seeing it again.

It has all the pics one would want to see of opening day crowds, plus links to ABC7, and KTLA, and CBS with video coverage.

And even though that micechat topic has 17 pages going on .. at the moment .. it's easy to breeze through them quickly to get to the pics and links to news station coverage.

I think I'll probably stay away from it for at least a couple weeks because of the crowds, but if I get the chance to head down there any time soon, I'll definitely check it out. Supposedly I saw it during its original run, but I have no recollection of it. Seeing pictures and clips from it hasn't sparked any memories, so it will basically be a new experience for me.
