Disneyland Paris Part Deux

Andrea and I made our way back to Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios today to hit the rides we didn’t catch the last time we were there last week.  We weren’t able to get on everything we wanted, but fortunately we did enter the Studios park before all of the shows were closed, unlike last time.  This highlight was definitely the French version of the Haunted Mansion, Phantom Manor.

It’s a completely different ride with a theme around a jilted bride who never recovers from being stood up at the altar.  It’s creepier than the US version with more scary skeletons and dead things about.

Our next goal was to ride Thunder Mountain Railroad.  It looks essentially like the same ride but it’s on an island in the middle of the water.  The riders load on the “land” side, the train travels under the water and then the ride as we know it (I suppose), is on the island.  We were excited to ride it, but after about 25 minutes in line, they announced that the ride was experiencing some mechanical difficulties, so that was a bust.  At Studios, we watched a couple of shows and then called it a day.

I was excited to see that they have loaded, although not installed, the letters for the sign “The Hollywood Tower Hotel.”  Pretty cool!
