parisian - part 9

sorry guys fir the delay, quite busy last week with java codings..again. so, today i got the spare time to continue..

(this is like a journal bout my life in paris - altho a week,hehe.. everyday ill write bit by bit so, if u mind, read from below please..its continuous. so if u read from top, u'll be a little bit blurred.. it starts from sheer experience..parisian, tq)

after completing the disneyland park tour, we continued our journey to the disney studios. it was about 3pm so we got a mere 4hours to finish buzzing around at the studios, maybe it was enough. because we bought a 2-park entry ticket, we just have to flash our ticket at the guras here - easy huh?!so, walking pass the entrance, there stood the first building, more like the main building of the disney studios. from a distance, there was this mickeymouse shaped water tank, it was nice. we walked inside the building, there was a lot of people tho, and there was this live band playing music, coffee shops, beautiful ones, a HUGE souvenir shop (in disneyland and studios, there were a lot of shops,mainly the same..tp byk gle a), and also a cinema, the design was retro but amazing. so, the magic wasn't there yet, it was just some sort of introduction to the magical world of disney..(ayat agak poyo)




the map of disney studios indicated that, the park was a little bit of messy, huge boxes (or containers) lying around everywhere..about 8 of em i guess. each box , probably more suitable to call them buildings ride?.. ok then, each building has its own theme like studio 1 - history of disneychannel, studio 2 - magical world of disney, studio 3 - armageddon , studio 4 - rock n roll and the list goes on bla bla bla.. ok the nice part was the there were also rides in here - haha, i told ya i'll be more than excited when i hear the word 'rides'. so, we browsed in and headed to the first studio. damn i needed a seat - feet hurts so much! so we decided to go to this so called history of mickey. inside was all the history about mickey mouse, how and when he was created. even his earliest cartoons were there - on flips of paper ( u know, the early cartoon.. that people flip papers and it will be like moving drawings) - steamboat willie and plane crazy. it has been a really long time mickey mouse lived in this world, since 1928 till 2005 - one of a hell damn old fart, hehe. ok, we jolted around the area and after finishing the presentation (it was not really nice coz the man in front spoke french, we had to put earphones and press number 2 from english,haha) we went straight to the other buildings.

the was also a tour in this building that explained all the functions and all the work that were being processed in a real life disney studio - how the cartoons were chosen, which one goes on air bla bla bla.. it ws boring tho, but i had the opportunity to sit down, so it was mesmerizing. we went to the stage show or stunt show. i wondered how nice it could be. so we went straight and the show was at 430 pm. we were rite on time. it was about this car thingy, stunt acts and so. we went inside, it was a huge place, like a stadium (half of it) and the stage or the scene was rite on front of us. it was well prepared, the road was flushed with water, there were buildings and stuffs. so, the mc was like calling a dozen of spectators to take part in the act and they had to do this funny interviews like shout,scream,and other stuffs - quite interesting for an opening act. and after 15minutes the show begins. sounds of the car could be heard loudly, there were about 6 of of them, and suddenly they roared out of nowhere - turning fast, spinning recklessly, and speeding out of control - awesome! the guys were amazing, it was like they could drive with their eyes closed. one of the guy, drove reversely and make fast turns into alleys (they got small alleys made from the buildings of the backdrop or scene or whatever~).. i really couldn's explain completely but it was soo damn cool! the demonstrator really made it like a scene from a movie. but the funniest part was that when the spectators (that were asked just now to help) had to act like they were running away from the streets when the stuntmen entered the scene. they ran like hell and it was funny.by the way for promotion, the used OPEL cars..hehe and bikes too.




after the show, i saw this rock n roll ride - it said that it was a roller coaster, but the was only this huge building (cam gudang futsal but bigger) - so i tot it was like a simulator or something. i just ignored and queued up. hm, the show before the ride was fantastic - there was aerosmith in a music studio planning to create this disastrous (did i got this rite?) and powerful and scary and awesome roller coaster. apart from that, there were a lot of instruments like guitars, drums, basses, kompangs,trumpets,saxes and so on autographed by varius cool rock artists like aerosmith,metallica,darkness,radiohead and pink floyd. it really aroused me,heh. the ride begins - it was dark, so i could not see what would happen. i took it with api, so we just waited the sound of the machine like, 3..2..1.. blast off!! we went straight ahead with full speed that i could feel my stomach was left behind (u see, always we'll feel that when we are going pass a steep fall on a rollercoaster, but this is actually bossting u forward so fast that u feel it too). and suddenly it went up for a loop and another loop and another loop and another, wow it was amazing, without steep falls.. the ride was in complete darkness with some old rock song at your ears, it was only loops and steep turns - it was really awesome..one of the best rides i've ever been thru. so, immediately after taking the dizzy ride, i took it again and again foir 4times until my parents dah meluat. haha..

so we moved on to this so called armageddon ride. the line was so long and we waited for about 20minutes to get in. it was like standing in some part of a spaceship. it was fine, the captain was talking and suddenly there was this emergency alarm and wow, the ship went out of light.. smoke coming from everywhere, the spaceship rocked like hell.. there was also fire coming from certain areas - i mean large ones, panas gile lak tuh..then water sprinkling - wow it was quite real. then, the simulation finished..one of a kind!

after completing about 3 hours plus at the studios, we decided to get the hell out of there but before that, as usual, we lepak for a while at the souvenir shop - mmq n alan's beer punt were being bought here..nice!!then we moved straight to the last spot that was the disney village - it was nothing tho, just another few souvenir shops, cafes, hotels, a huge cinema that had this advert that showed 'mon beau-pere mes parents at moi'..guess what - meet the fockers,haha...and planet hollywood was here too.. so we hung around till 8pm ++ and got back to the hotel with great exhaustion.. one hell of a day!
