Smile Summer in the theme parks

With Star Wars Galaxy Edge opening at Disneyland end of next mouth and Jurassic World at Universal Hollywood opening this summer it's going to be a good year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS7syYUr6bY Rise of the Resistance. Most excited for this ride. Too bad the opening got delayed. Most technologically advanced ride.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-YeEKi0V8g Millennium falcon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pwsvs5vy98U Epic trailer. Jurassic World is going to be a bit more intense than the original.

You're a brave soul to be visiting these parks in the summer!

Any park in FL is going to be miserably hot and crowded in the summer and will probably have to be done when the park opens and again in the evening with a break at lunch back at the hotel. . If possible, consider coming from Nov. Until Feb., and avoid the holiday weeks..
Nevermind..you are going to California.

I have an annual pass to Disney World and I agree. I generally don't go in June through August...too crowded and too hot.

Galaxy's edge just opened in California Disney. The millennium falcon looks impressive. I think Jurassic world in Universal Hollywood is opening any time now. Can't wait for that resistance ride.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=etTRGmzwkfY Rise of the Resistance is finally here. Can't wait to experience this someday. Looks amazing. No theme park will come close to this.

If you're in the market for a real thrill ride check these out:

https://purespeedracing.com/
https://racewithrusty.com/

Our drummer and I both took advantage of one of their 60% off deals a couple years ago (independently - I'm a lifelong NHRA guy, he's a NASCAR fan): better than anything you'll find in a theme park (130+ MPH in the standing quarter-mile, 150+ on the big ovals ), you're the one in control of the whole experience, and all you need is a valid state driver's license - and the nerve...
