Mark & I made it out to the hotel that Michael & his friends were staying at. We all made it to the park around 10:30am I'm guessing. We rode the Raptor right away; 45 minute wait; got a cute dvd of me & Michael holding hands on the ride. We rode Ocean Motion. I hooked up with Janice & the kids while Michael went with his friends (lots of drama ensuing - but it all worked out in the end so I'd rather not rehash it all here); I had a small something to nibble on before that became a problem. I chilled with the family, then Justin, Jordan, Jerry & I rode the Blue Streak; I sat with Jordan. Later I caught up with Michael & company. I rode the Witch's Wheel by myself, then rode in the 2nd seat of the Magnum with Michael; front seat of Gemini & Mine Ride. Rode the Swings. Met back up with Janice and rode the Iron Dragon in the front seat with my youngest nephew Jonathan (who screamed how much he loved it), then rode the Magnum front seat with Justin, and the Raptor with Justin / Jordan & Mark. Janice & crew were leaving soon so we left them (after I had an amazing Blue Raspberry Icey thing). I was having trouble breathing and Mark noticed that I'd been stung by something right above my right eye so we went to First Aid where they gave me some meds after checking me out, which helped. Michael & everyone joined us and we rode the Raptor again. We ate some elephant ear, drank more icey (which Michael got me); also got a Raptor shirt and some bling. And that was it. It was fun. The rides were fun. I didn't ride anything new; I would have but the lines for Millennium Force & Maverick were both over 2 hours and I didn't want to wait that long. Back to the hotel...I stayed with Michael and Mark drove home (though there was an open bed that he could have used). Showered. Slept. Showered. Dressed and left. Nice car ride back. With Michael's friend Jen & I talking about gender identity. Home. Mark. News. This. A good trip. My tummy troubles were there, but they weren't as problematic as they could have been and I was very careful. There was about half a day of drama but I didn't let it get to me and managed to have a great time. And though the rides are fun, and I'm not ruling out future trips to the park, I find the idea of rides kind of pointless these days, and not necessarily 'worth it'. It's more about the company you're keeping I think.
I just found a BSG: The Plan interview clip which said we'll find out who left the note for Adama explaining that there are 12 Cylon models. I always just assumed it was Baltar, though I've known lots of people who have questioned who it was. Glad we're getting answers to some questions. As it stands The Plan should tie into several great BSG episodes:
Tied into the Miniseries, how 'The Fall' was planned and carried out; who did Caprica Six meet? Who left the note about there being 12 models?
I'm hoping we'll also see whoever planted the Cylon Transponder discovered in the miniseries.
There's at least 1 scene set during "33", between Ellen & Cavil.
There seems to be a scene set during "Water".
There's a scene setting up the opening of "Litums".
Scenes set before & after (and possibly during) "Six Degrees of Separation" explaining why Shelly Godfrey was on Galactica and how she escaped.
Ellen's introduction in "Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down" will be set up.
There's a scene between Boomer & Cavil set in Galactica's brig, so between "Scattered" (2x01) & "Resistance" (2x04).
The introduction of Anders ("Resistance") & Tory ("The Captain's Hand") will be set up, as will the introduction to Tigh.
It's possible the cut scenes from Daybreak which relate to the intro of Boomer will be included.
Cavil's introduction in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part 1" will be set up, and his airlock scene in "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part 2" (only ever spoken of) will most likely be seen.
All Good Things!
The cover art was also released; you can see it below:
