Anyone know whether Disneyland has rides to go on? Or is it more like Epcot Center?
first off - if you live in L.A. - what the hell are you doing asking about D-land? haven't you been a million times already?
they have a few. space mountain which will re-open later. matterhorn which is great in the summer on a hot day (at the very end when you go into the water and it comes to a sudden stop - lean out the side and let the water that would normally rush by the side hit you in the face and torso - and cool down a lot - and when the disney people tell you not to do that - tell them next time you won't). they have a few more rides - but not a lot of good ones for anyone other that little kids.
i will say the VERY BEST ride Disney has is the "Soarin' over California" at CA Adventure - an IMAX type ride where you soar over CA in a hang glider - and it is major league COOL!
EPCOT has attractions and places to see and is for the older crowd - Disneyland is more for kids of all ages
i live 20 minutes away and haven't gone in years - but i will go this summer for my uncle works for corporate and can walk 3 of us in any time he comes down this way - and at $50 a POP to get in - that save a ton of dough!
