    Maybe the pasties you have had are all bad? the frozen ones I buy are mostly meat and potatoes... the pastry part is very moist, and is small compared to how much filling is inside.

    I assume you meant rubbish as in not-so-good, as oppossed to trash or refuse, yeah? ;)

    My X used to make it when we had a Roast, good but loaded with fat and grease. I'm just as well off without it. (and her) :)

    During the film portions, he was very attentive and reactive. I was pretty worried that the big bang sequence was going to frighten him, but it actually had him laughing with delight. In fact, "the big bang is really funny" became a running joke within our family for the rest of the trip.

    We were seated pretty much in the very back (my mother uses a wheelchair), meaning that we were the last to move into the dinosaur displays. As we were waiting for the other vehicles to move forward, our son could see the dinosaurs up ahead and was leaning forward as far as he possibly could trying to see more of it. Throughout the ride portion, he was absolutely enthralled, looking in every direction and laughing and chattering throughout. As the vehicle exited back into the theater area at the end, he was twisting as much as he could to look behind and continue to watch the dinosaurs for as long as possible.

    Again, considering the length and intensity of the ride, I don't know that I would automatically recommend this one for a 2-year-old, but I sure am glad we took our kid on it.
