Because it would be an Orion-sized troll towards enthusiasts and it's fun to watch people's heads explode.

Work has resumed on Montezooma recently. The loop was topped off today and is complete once again. Great to see.

I Road TT2 on Saturday. Broke down 4 times in a row. One train went then broke cycle all 3 trains. Again run a train or 2 then cycle them. I found it funny that they have a auto spiral stating that the rides is exercising machinal issues and also one stating that the ride will be working again. Its like they knew it was gonna be down a lot. For the ride, I mean its fun. The first lunch seems to slow for how much lunch track you have your kind of just cruising down the track. Backwards at 100MPH is fun then going up that spike is great your just kind of floating till you starting going towards the forward lunch . I was in the back row and you do just get throw over the Hill and its great. Bad not sure if it was just the seat or the train i was on. This think shook so bad. Not like coaster rattle but like to flat tires going done the free way. Really took away from the ride. I was just trying to lean forward so as much of my back and was not touching the seat. I wanted to get a 2nd ride but the wait was just to long for me to take a 2-3 hour wait away from the Family. The Locker metal detectors process is a bigger mess then Steel Vengeance. Not sure how to fix that but that's like a 20 min wait before your even in the line. Zamp really f this thing up. I am hoping to get a ride or two more on it last this summer but I'm also not even sure if this thing will make it a 2nd year. I was a big support of just give it time it will be epic but now I'm just like what is happening. How is it so wrong.

Final Hotel, flight home, and swag! the hotel at Heathrow was pretty nice I believe these pics were taken by Andy, who had gone up to the rooftop bar. . he shared with with the chat thread, so I snagged em to share too. the next morning, Stacy and I had breakfast at the hotel before I headed to the Airport proper for my flight (I believe she headed back into London for the day as she had a later flight) this was my seatmate on the plane. it turned out she was the Pilot's wife, and he was texting her during the flight. So that's how I found out way earlier than everyone else on the plane that we were being diverted to Newark and we were NOT going to make it to Houston due to a hurricane in the gulf. that's a whole other story, I wont' get into, but I will say i've flown enough that I refused to recheck my bag after customs so I could sit in the airport all day while they promised our flight would be going out later that day, only to cancel it 7 hours later (while I was soaking in the tub in the hotel they had gotten for me when rebooking me for the next day for a direct flight home to Austin). anyways, I wasn't too panicked, but I DID manage to hurt myself in the Newark airport. . at least didnt' break anything and will spare y'all the pics. the first meal on the flight was very good. too bad we never got the 2nd one (they gave us vouchers to use in the airport, that didn't work. . oh well, I eventually got home). onto Swag! Swag from my two full days in London before the trip officially started: swag from the "Spirited Away" show I saw on the West End Swag from the day spent at the Tower of London: Thorpe Park: \ Chessington World of Adventures: Oakwood Theme Park (R.I.P.) Alton Manor: (I liked a LOT of stuff here) Blackpool Pleasure Beach: Barry Island (where "Gavin and Stacy" was set. .hence the shirts) and tons of magnets from every stop!

Day 12 (pt 2) 1/2 day stop at our final (and surprise) park, Gulliver's Land: across the bridge (and on the top floor over the Gulliver's Travels ride), is the bonkers "Once Upon a Time" walkthru. a play area that has tons of animatronics, and some of the fugliest mannequins I've seen in a while there are multiple paths one can follow thru this exhibit, and some slides. I went the direction the cute bears told me to go a proper teddy in the fairy lights and possibly the same fairy that was in the Gulliver's Travels ride ? I learned that day that Fairies have no knees and therefore cannot bend their legs. no wonder they fly blinking and talking trees. not creepy at ALL oh. .it's Narnia over here. . . LOL. and I just *now* in this picture, noticed the Wardrobe. . . oooo.. my type of place in a Christmasy area. . so I think an elf? or maybe a child leaving out snacks for Santa? for some reason, I always seem to find a Cow on my travels. this one looks like it's from Jack and the Beanstalk hmmmm. . . I've seen that face on some type of doll before Alice in Wonderland! lots of the flowers, and the animals, all moved we're in fairy tale land, so why not a baby dragon? Goldilocks? maybe?? 'tis another bear tho! not exactly the most attractive Snow White I've ever seen. . but the animals moved, and she "breathed" No Prince in sight to kiss her tho. this tree knows what's up! coming back down, I noticed Merlin (I think) in one of the displays that you could have pushed a button to activate - if this playground area had been open. the park also has a decent hedge maze, tho made for the smaller kiddos, so we could "cheat" and look over the top. tho in the center is a raised lookout, so we headed in to get a good view of the park. the hedge maze dead ends were pictures of dangerous animals. . LOL from the lookout tho, a fantastic view, as the weather had moved off for the moment. it's a dragon! there's some of the TPR gang, including Chris, Shane, Hawk, Doug, and Caroline. . . I see a beer on the table, so the restaurant in the castle must have opened. another gaggle of TPR folks, including Jon, Andy, Collin, and some others.. . it was getting close to time to head out, so many were gathering near the front of the park. Andy spotted us taking pictures, so snapped one of us in the lookout. thanks Andy! there really is a nice view from up here. I headed off for the last 40 minutes or so to explore the one section of the park I hadn't been in. there wasn't a lot open over here on this side, but it was still lovely. there's what looked like an area for meet and greet, and a puppet show theatre, but neither were in use today. there WERE a few folks lined up for the short Antique Car track. . tho the monorail upstairs wasn't in operation today. I wonder if perhaps this area used to be the main entrance plaza? it's at the right hand side of the front of the park, and there's a large Gulliver Statue over here. and also an animatronic Gulliver, that had a broken push-button to activate no takers to play in the shoe today. tho the Tea Cups were drawing some to this area. as I said, lovely tho. as it was getting to be time to head out (and the rain clouds were moving in) the Park started a show in the main plaza area. that included several characters out on balconies, and bubbles. and with that, and a slight drizzle started, we said our goodbyes to Gulliver's Land, and headed back to the bus. a short while later, we pulled into what appeared to be a very large mall. it was close to closing time, but the restaurant where we were having our goodbye meal was here. They weren't quite ready for us in the private room, so some of us headed out to look around for 15 minutes or so. the ice cream cone chairs are adorable! LOL. . small Batman Carousel in the mall. shortly tho, we were called back to PizzaExpress, as it was time for dinner. hey look at that! I DID finish before the 1 year mark one of several tables set up for us in the upstairs room. (thanks Hawk for the picture!) the pizza was really great, and even the deserts were fantastic. after a great meal, and some visiting, we headed back to the bus, that took us to Heathrow. officially our trip was now over, but I had a fantastic, bucket list checking off, time. many of us were staying overnight at the hotel for flights the next day. . but the TPR portion of the trip was now over. once again, I sincerely thank Robb and Elissa for allowing me the privilege to join along on this trip. it allowed me to visit places I had only dreamed about. . and made several dreams actually come true. once we got to the hotel, I checked into my room, showered, and immediately went to bed. . it had been an exhausting trip, but worth EVERY moment.

got way far behind, with so much stuff going on since my last update here (SFOT Coasterthon, Holiday World Holliwood Nights, SFFT Roller Coaster Rodeo). . but gonna do my best to catch up on several reports over the next week or so! Day 12 (pt 1) 1/2 day stop at our final (and surprise) park, Gulliver's Land: Owned by the same company that owns Gulliver's World - that we stopped into earlier on the trip - this was the 2nd (of the 4 I believe) "Gulliver's Park" in the UK. this one was bigger and had larger rides than Gulliver's World had, and seemed a bit more geared towards older kids/teens - with some bigger and more thrilling rides. And as we were here on a Weekend day, there were way more families visiting as well, so we weren't the odd adults in a park full of small children and it was way less weird it was a bit overcast off and on, but never really got anything more than a slight drizzle. added bonus is that we got to say hi to Caroline, who is local and swung by the park to meet up with us. you can tell from outside the park, that it's a little more adult ride wise than Gulliver's World had been. TPR is ready to enjoy Gulliver's Land! the main street USA version for this park. the Castle at the end housed a restaurant in the bottom, and a playground area on the top. Dragon Siege was small, but intense. loved the theming. and yes, it went upside-down for full rotations this is behind the castle, and is the large Gulliver's Travels ride (it would open up in a short bit), and the upper level, over the bridge from the top of the castle, was a HUGE fairy tale walk thru area, called "Once Upon A Time" - that really had to be experienced, as describing it sells it short. (pics of that in part 2) a small jungle raft ride was also well themed thruout the park there were these push button kiosks that had animatronics inside them. not all worked, but all of them were entertaining. the Orangutan Band was near the jungle river ride. so was the animatronic snake. 3 family coasters at this park. 1st up was the racing coaster, called Grand Prix Racers, and I think it was an exact clone of the one at Gulliver's World tons of rides scattered thruout the park, including smaller rides for the little ones. Like this little race track. and a Pony Express (that adults weren't allowed to ride. . . sad face) not a bad log flume for a park this size. . and TONS of photo ops all over the place. there was a shooting dark ride, the Silver Mine, that was fairly popular. . tho I seem to recall a lot of the targets didn't do a whole lot. but most of us rode it. an overview of the park, via a park map. it's a fairy good size the interactive Fort area, with lots of things to climb on and swing on. the park's 2nd coaster is called "Runaway Train" and is a Zamperla family coaster. as the Bear out front told me, it was located in "Western World" over here was also a smaller train ride. I had to wait a cycle (and then was the only rider), but was told it was ok for adults to ride, so I took a spin on it. I rode in the Caboose, and the operator was kind enough to snap a picture for me. I rode the flume too, and it did get me fairly moist by now the Gulliver's Travels ride was open, so headed back over that way. it has the same ride system as the Princess ride at Gulliver's World, so I was prepared to love it. (and had been told there's an amazing scene inside) yup. . a full sized Gulliver, being tied down by little men. . LOL also lots of princesses. . or fairies. . I dunno. not many of my onride pics came out usable. but of course I LOVED it, and rode it a few times. as did Stacy & Nick and Robb & Elissa and Jack & Jackie anyone who knows me, knows I love photo ops . . especially with park mascots. so I was in heaven when so many of the Gulliver's mascots were out and about today. I still have NO idea what the one on my left is. . (the one on the right is a bunny, I think). . but the one on the left? an anthropomorphic squash? and Gulliver's Girlfriend!! the third coaster in the park, is an indoor roller skater called the Crazy Mouse. it was a coaster, and it was indoors. and it had some big props.. . . these pics are from the loading station, but the park does its best to keep the riders in the dark, as there's no description or view of the coaster from the queue line, and in fact the keep the doors to inside closed, and only open them up to load the next riders onto the platform. this pic is from the platform, before I put my phone away see? big props. some pics of the playground area on top of the castle (before heading across the bridge to the walkthru). it looked like they were doing some construction up here, so the area was roped off. we still had some time at the park, so some of us headed over to the jungle rapids ride. a "snug" fit, but fun. to be continued. . .

It's new. All of the flats in the front corner of the park around Lightning Run were either removed (so long Cyclos) or moved to Discovery Meadow in the back. That whole area is lined with fences and there's a bit of development happening in there. Snuck a day away to go check out Discovery Meadow, and honestly? It's actually super nice. Felt like a move Herschend money could definitely pull off. One of the biggest things I've noted before was how alone Storm Chaser felt. Now the entire path between Roller Skater (Hollyhock & Roll) all the way to Wind Chaser is lined with rides, and a ton of shady sitting spots under existing trees. My biggest surprise was seeing the pirate ship put in a perfect spot next to Mile High, so close to the splash but angled perfectly to avoid the wave. Speaking of waves, this heat wave has been pretty intense lately so I didn't stick around too long. I mainly wanted to get my steps in then cool off, so I only did Wind Chaser and Treetop Drop. From what I could see, they reprofiled Woodland Run's first drop and I'm seeing a ton of crazy hairtime from riders in the back seat, so take note of that for anyone else who goes.

I finally rode IMenace AND finally met Lucy yesterday. My PFP has been changed to reflect this.

There's still hope. I choose optimism, for once.

Just returned from my second-ever trip to Great Adventure. No pictures but a couple of thoughts. The Flash: Vertical Velocity is a good ride. Not great, but quite fun if there's little wait and buttery smooth. I Love You New Vekoma. In fact, toward the front of the train there's a delightful pop of airtime on the backwards return run. Flash and El Toro now have mandatory free lockers in the queue which worked really well, I thought. El Toro was down half the day but opened up mid afternoon with one train. Dispatches were taking a loooong time so something going on with sensors, maybe? Anyway, it is noticeably jarring in the third seat of each car but the middle seats, at least, negate most of the potholes. I had forgotten how insanely intense El Toro is -- what a beautiful ride. Super minor notes: their Dark Knight coaster is *not* a mirror image clone of SFNE's Gotham City Gauntlet -- GA's is *much* smoother through the trim brakes and lacks the awful bunny hops/hit the brakes section at the end that SFNE's has. The darkness really makes GA's so much better. Wonder Woman never opened at all yesterday. Jersey Devil also had issues on and off all day. Oh, and last but not least (since I'm not that familiar with this park) -- was it always just a giant mostly closed shopping mall with rides scattered about? Even with the brutal culling over that last year or two, this place has more shops than I've ever seen at any theme park! The ratio, even a few years ago, has to be at least 10:1. Granted there are a lot of shuttered storefronts, but my lord.

Disney has announced that the renovated Test Track will open on July 22, 2025! https://disneyparksblog.com/wdw/test-track-reopening-date-july-22/ Buckle up for a new spin on a fan-favorite attraction – Test Track presented by General Motors will reopen on July 22! This attraction update will debut an all-new musical score, as well as new scenes that highlight technology making our cars smarter and our lives more fun. See Through the “Eyes” of a Vehicle One of those scenes showcases how vehicles can use advanced cameras and sensors to “see” the world they drive through. While Test Track has always celebrated new and future automotive technology, it’s also a reminder of what a road trip is all about: spending quality time in the company of friends and family while embracing the beauty of the world around you.

I was at the park for the first time in years on June 1st. We stopped the day before to get my son (15 this summer) the three credits at Seabreeze. It was in the 50s and windy, so that place was empty, and we were in and out in less than an hour. The spinner was as I remembered it and the two wood structure coasters were crawling in the cold. Not ideal, but the next day looked better for Darien Lake. We were there at rope drop and headed to the back of the park like we always do. I apprehensively got in line with him to get his Mind Eraser credit first. We grabbed the front row and, with the new vest restraints, it wasn't too bad. It was no Great Nor'Easter, but it was better than the one they did the same thing on at SFA (RIP). Tantrum was closed and remained that way. I guess it has been down for a little while now. And of course it was as Tantrum is the only credit I don't have yet having grown up being taken to the park every summer. Oh well. We'll be back. Viper was next and it was the same old gem I fondly remembered. By modern standards, this old Arrow looper is of course pretty tame. It runs through its course smoothly though with surprisingly little headbanging. I still approve. Viper has always been and remains one of my favorite Arrows. Predator was up next and this was to be my first ride post-Titan track. Given that this was my absolute bottom coaster in any possible ranking with my last experiences with it, I still figured the non steel portions would be so horrible that it couldn't be redeemed. The ride was good though! The upgraded portions were smooth as silk and the layout got to shine, finally. The still wood sections were not as awful as I expected, either, though they were far from smooth too. Superman, er, Ride of Steel followed for my son's 250. We had absolutely awesome rides on the clone down by the capital this summer in 104 degree heat, so this slow running original on a day barely warmer than half that number was pretty disappointing. Still fun, but it hardly had anything left for the bunny hills at the end that always used to be so great. I chalk it up to the cold day. From there we walked over to Boomerang, which was a credit for him and I am not sure why I bothered to ride it to be honest. MotoCoaster capped the first rides. I remembered this one as having a punchy launch and then doing nothing. It indeed had a punchy launch, even stronger than I remembered, and I am happy to report that I remembered wrong. The swinging turns were taken at a good speed and I actually ended up liking this one a lot. From there, we walked back to take another peak on Tantrum, grabbing another good ride on Viper on the way. We ate lunch and then gave not-Superman another go to similar results. Finally, to cap the day, we decided to take a last ride on Predator. This was our best decision. We waited for the front car (which took forever for like six trains -- I am not going to whine any more than this, but operations were horrible all day) and the ride was a rush. I don't know if it sped up a little or if the front is just where the airtime is at, but my old wooden nemesis was hitting almost every hill exactly right. This was a GREAT ride and easily our best of the two park trip. I really look forward to visiting Predator again in the future and a younger me would be very confused by that statement. Final note: Predator was running the purple train that I had read appeared recently. Even though it was a weekend and wait times were growing, they did not ever put a second train on. Nor did Mind Eraser. This park may be viewing having a second train as having a backup in case the main train breaks. There doesn't seem to be much intent of actually putting two trains on the track at once.

Barry Island is in Wales. tho not an "amusement park". . it's a great collection of carnival type rides, including a few small coasters https://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=3&ex&ol=26112

Oh wow. Even in just a few pictures you can tell how Herschend has put its touch on the park. They really kind of charmed KK up, I suppose. Are a lot of those signs new?

I mean...Kingda Ka itself didn't start site work until July of 2004 (and this new coaster really won't even need much site work) and didn't go vertical until September, and then opened in May. It's only June, and Six Flags doesn't like opening coasters until August these days anyway so is it really surprising that nothing is going on yet?

Good to know.

I'll take all of that and raise you the carousel at Six Flags Saint Louis.

Quantum Accelerator opening delayed. This whole thing is weird as hell. The opening date was supposed to be tomorrow (June 20th) but has only really been reported by a few media outlets. Enthusiast circles have been extremely quiet about it and the park never officially announced an opening date on socials. Then they wait until filming day to delay the opening. Not gonna lie, it's pretty ridiculous that a last minute and borderline-prototype coaster at Cedar Point that just finished construction last month is going to open before a pre-planned family launched coaster that finished construction in March. Oh and the 5x larger B&M dive coaster in Chicago that was announced at the same time as this coaster has been open for almost a month. What are we doing???

Unfortunately for prozach626, the coaster is confirmed at 309 FT.

Hey guys, the futuroscope just opened the first real Mack Rides Rocking Boat ride... And looks very interesting, take a look: https://youtu.be/7lfc52mTvGM?si=-XPs6O_VCRhHauf8 Edit: how do I get the video embedded in here?

Interesting behind the scenes video about the making of Six Flags Over Texas new 2026 Record Breaking Dive Coaster! https://youtu.be/xoQrRZ12HIk?feature=shared

Objectively this looks like it will be Premier's best coaster yet. I'm happy to see they modified the side paneling on the train to make it easier to enter/exit, plus no comfort collars or seat belts. The second launch will also hopefully have a pretty good kick since there isn't much length down in that tunnel to bring it up to top speed. And the layout looks SO good! I was nervous about it not being ready in time for my 2-day visit on 7/31 & 8/1, but I have a little more faith now since it started testing. Yay!

AlpenFury has officially begun testing! Who's excited to ride?

Universal Destinations and Experiences has announced that Jason Voorhees will return to Halloween Horror Nights in 2025 with a new house at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood, Jason Universe. https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonthompson/2025/06/13/jason-voorhees-slays-at-universal-studios-halloween-horror-nights/ Titan of terror Jason Voorhees rises again at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights, and he is going to slay. Jason Universe sees the iconic killer from the infamous Friday the 13th films get his own haunted house at the seasonal event at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood for the first time. The all-original immersive nightmare will take brave guests back to the summer camp where the gruesome legend was born. Jason Universe is being described as "a vengeance tour through the summer camp to see where it all began, from the creaking floorboards of Jason's ramshackle cabin to the decaying main lodge and the eerie forest that offers no refuge for his victims." Fans are being promised recreations of classic kills from the multimillion-dollar franchise that launched 45 years ago with the theatrical release of the first film. Expect Jason, decked out in his legendary hockey mask, to "taunt and stalk" his victims who learn too late that everything they heard about him and his reign of terror is true. Described as an "homage to the machete-wielding slasher" who is considered one of the most notorious villains in cinematic history, Jason Universe sounds like a classic execution of an enduring and ever-popular 12-film horror franchise. Jason Voorhees Has A History Of Killing It At Halloween Horror Nights Jason Universe isn’t the first time Jason has appeared at Halloween Horror Nights, a mecca for fans of the genre. Most recently, at Universal Studios Hollywood, he was joined by Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, and Chucky on the Titans of Terror Tram on the Studio Tour Backlot in 2017. It has been nine years since he last featured in a haunted house there. The last one was 2016's Freddy Vs. Jason. In Orlando, his last appearance was in 2015 when he appeared in both a Freddy Vs. Jason attraction and the All Nite Die-In: Double Feature scarezone. Created by Victor Miller, the first Friday the 13th movie, directed by Sean S. Cunningham, arrived in theaters in May 1980. The most recent film was 2009’s identically titled reboot, Friday the 13th, directed by Marcus Nispel and produced by Michael Bay. The most successful film in the franchise was the 2003 A Nightmare on Elm Street crossover, Freddy vs. Jason, which grossed $82.62 million worldwide. Although it has been a while since a new Friday the 13th movie has dropped, Crystal Lake, described as "an origin story for Jason and a prequel to the Friday the 13th franchise," is on the way. It will stream exclusively on Peacock debuting in October 2025. Confirmed cast members include franchise mainstay Adrienne King, Dead to Me’s Linda Cardellini and Abigail's William Catlett. It's not known how or if the Halloween Horror Nights haunted house will integrate the new show. Jason Universe isn’t the first of this year's attractions to be announced. Fallout, inspired by Prime Video's acclaimed smash hit show, was recently confirmed. Similarly to the horror homage, it will also appear at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort. Fallout will place fans in iconic scenes and face-to-face with their characters on a journey from Vault 33 to the Wasteland. Both parks have also recently teased that Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy's, based on another widely popular videogame IP that inspired a hit movie and an upcoming sequel, will be featured in some form at Halloween Horror Nights. The blood red carpet gets rolled out for horror fans at Universal Studios Hollywood on Thursday, September 4, 2025. Universal Orlando Resort kicks off the festivities a little earlier on Friday, August 29, 2025. Tickets are now on sale. More news on additional Halloween Horror Nights haunted houses, scarezones, and live shows is expected in the coming weeks.

One of the few rides that legitimately kind of scares me.

^I can’t imagine the owner of a high performance race car being satisfied with said vehicle not being able to complete more than a few laps per race.

I didn't get an ask NOT to say anything, so I will share. I spoke with Jeffrey Siebert multiple times during Roller Coaster Rodeo this weekend, and at one point I was teasing him how I hope the new coaster at SFOT is named "El Toro" , as it's in the Spain section of the park. Name it that just to watch enthusiasts heads' explode. he laughed and told me that in all seriousness, they *were* planning on using a name from elsewhere, but he insisted (and won that battle) for a unique name. --> so the new dive coaster will have a unique name in the chain. (similar to the way they went with Chubacabra for the Goliath rename at SFFT). I followed up asking if it's themed to bull fighting as it's in the Spain area, and they aren't planning on changing that. and the response was "you'll just have to wait and see" but yeah.. unique name for this new coaster.

Two days after I leave. Sweet.

Got our first, brief visit to the park yesterday now that it's springtime again (it's been icy cold in the northeast). Overall, 4.5 hours in the park, three rides. Batman -- operations were horrible. At least five minutes between dispatches, two trains, waited 75 minutes in a half-full queue. Wicked Cyclone -- not as bad, still at least one ride op who staples with extra zeal, literally jumping and pushing down on the lap bar. Superman -- almost as bad as Batman. It seems like between every dispatch on those two coasters the main ride op had to sign paperwork and talk to a group of other employees. Literally between every dispatch. Training? I don't know, they've been open weekends for well over a month now. And the exit lane passes -- my lord, EVERYONE has these now. Only food we ate was the gyros and fries which are honestly delicious! Quantum Accelator: two trains on the track (one in station, one on transfer). Still building in the station and looks like a shed for the transfer track. Didn't know this has two launches! Sorry, only got a couple pictures, was hurrying from one end of the park to the other. Is it just me or are the trains super ugly? Anyway, looks like it'll be a fairly wild ride even if it is a "family launch" coaster. ^^ This is, I think, the highest point on the ride. There's a gentleman in the station doing what looks like electrical work. Zoomed in on the train in the station. The trains are very brown. Transfer track is forward of the station, not behind it on the circuit. Can just barely make out the two parallel launch tracks, sorry I didn't get better picture.

I touched the weiner.

To end this all, there's one more photo to show. One that was taken at our French dinner @ AbsintheBistro. A nice little gift from Absinthe. Thanks Cory (chef/owner) and your great staff! We'll be back. Didn't plan not looking towards David. Oops. My bad. About to dive into our wonderful meal.

Can't imagine why...
