lol... yikes.

A Giant Discovery doesn't fit the current plot of land. But there is a good amount of space in that general area west of the bathrooms. If you're willing to move the turkey leg smackdown attraction there's probably room if you renovate the entire are with a new midway and plaza. I think it depends on whether or not this is a good manager and if he can bring his own people in below him at both parks. I'd certainly trust someone like Jeffrey Siebert to be able to run multiple parks well.

A restaurant in New Jersey just announced, that no one under the age of 10 will be allowed in there. I totally agree with this policy. Good for them. I have been to many restaurants (a few of them upscale) in town, only to have to deal with screaming children, kids running around the place, and just generally being un-supervised by their parents. It's disgusting to have this happen around one or two people just wanting to enjoy their meal. Our pizza place across the street from us is an easy example of how it's (now) a horrible noise level, when children (and especially babies in strollers) are brought to the place. In the summer, on the outdoor street patio, you can hear them screaming on and on. It's awful. That said, any parent who bitches about this new rule, well, they just aren't being responsible parents, and are forcing the rest of the restaurant to put up with a child's antics. And it's only one f-ing restaurant, people. Thousands more places are available to disrupt with your under age kids, ha ha. IMhO. p.s. I do realize that there are a lot of TPR people out there with young children and they are behaved and responsible at parks and restaurants. Thanks guys! However, this RANT is to all those parents who don't give a flying fck, when it comes to their children and responsible behavior in public places ......... And probably won't read this, anyway. p.p.s. And about children, in general? I love them! Especially with a nice bernaise sauce on top.

The designs for San Fransokyo Square look great! Especially how they've re-done the bridge, there. Hope to eventually get back to DLR and see all this.

Yes its made in Idaho and yes you are crazy for being really excited about coaster track sitting on a truck.

I remember liking Transdemonium. It had this bizarre "devil" character at the beginning that looked like a marionette.

I love Waldameer and will support them every year, but is Mr. Nelson ever happy? I don't think I've ever seen him crack a smile when he whizzes past in his golf cart! Seriously though, God bless him. 89 years old and still going strong. Much respect.

Universal seems to have said we still dueling but in a different but no more dragons lol. Just look at those top hats! more images here from Bioreconstruct.

My youngest and I visited UO and IAl from 2/12 to 2/15, staying yet again at Cabana Bay. About half of my visits to the parks have been in February and it was a great time to visit, but that may no longer be the case. The 13th and 14th were extremely busy, I'd say the 13th rivaled summer crowds to the point I bought Express passes for the first time I've ever been visiting the parks. The 14th was a bit better but definitely not low crowds, and the morning of the 15th seemed similar. Apparently it quieted down later in the week so maybe just bad luck on my part but this was my son's birthday trip and it was a bit of a downer to be so crowded on his first trip to the park, although we made the best of it. Everything was running except Jurassic Park River Adventure since it's under refurbishment. Hagrid's never went below 80 minutes that we saw but Velocicoaster was surprisingly under 30 rather frequently and it's just as amazing as everyone has said. Most of my pictures are of my son, and most of the ones that he's not in are ones you've all seen a million times before, so just a small selection of things I found interesting: Since we almost always visit off season, I dont get to see the parks at night very often; they really do a wonderful job of lighting. Badgers! The water tunnel in Poseidon is still awesome, my son was in awe. Spiderman queue has such great stuff in it. One thing I discovered is the Express line goes through a couple unique rooms that you'd never see in the normal line, so that was pretty cool. Didn't take the sting off the extravagant (for us) expense but you take what you can get. Celestina and the Banshees bringing the fire as always. We also sat for the Three Brothers puppet show, just such a great story. Despite the business of the parks, we took time for Jurassic Playground. My son would have spent half a day just in there. A real plant finding purchase on the fake roots and rockwork. Life finds a way. Mardi Gras was in full swing. Secret evil avocados are best avocados. Most of the Simpsons area staff are actually really nice; one of the guys running the games was helping kids out, etc. My timing was just a second or two off but got this clip from the line of Pteranodon Flyers with both coasters hitting their high points at the same time. 20230215_081801.mp4

^ Just because they're probably REALLY TRYING to get it running on it's National Day.... I'll put $100 on it actually opening on July 25, 2023. I mean, it's just a "what if" bet right ?.... Right? ....... RIGHT???

Oh my lanta. First WOF and now Dorney. Cedar Fair has finally remembered they own parks outside of Cedar Point and the paramount parks lol

The amount of appreciation you get from the little things in life is great. Her joy is our deep meaningful joy multiplied. We don't live for ourselves anymore, and life takes on a real purpose. For that, I'll gladly wait in the hour long log flume line to make her happy.

Not wanting to be insensitive or sounding like skin color is a thing for me, but come on 19 young children dead at the hands of a gunman, this, this is what we should be filling the streets in protest over! I'm sorry if this offends but I'm just being honest.

I went alone to a movie tonight at a theater with assigned seating. So I pick my seat, drop my popcorn and beverage off at my seat, and head to the bathroom before the movie starts. When I come back, someone else is in my seat and they've moved my food to a different seat. And they don't understand why I'm passed about it, saying that it's no big deal. Driving home after the movie, I take my aggression out a little too much on my gas pedal and get a speeding ticket.

Oh geez. I hadn't even heard of Eisenstadt. Just did a quick read up on it and... oh my GOD. If that was overturned, so many women with PCOS (myself included; I get the depo shot to help manage it) would be left in the lurch because of being unmarried. Mother of god.
