"'Royals' Mashup" From the Broadway cast recording of Moulin Rouge: The Musical. Listening to the whole, entire, awesome-sounding album, actually. (o;

^ From where to where? Just curious of me. And I'm too lazy to find out myself, thanks!

^^ Bert, which TOMICA Tokyo Disney Resort vehicles did you get? I see you got those two-in-one-set little Doom Buggies, lol. Just curious. I think I bought five of them, when last there, in 2013. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just discovered that Hot Wheels has put out some other "Fun Park" vehicles, including a bumper car, a roller coaster car, and even an ice cream truck! You can buy them separately, or in a group like this five car pack, below. Cool! Available on Amazon. com and/or eBay. Or your local toy and collectibles shop. Actually, it was A LOT MORE than five vehicles, LOL!

I find it great, that you really need to ride Runaway Railway at least four times - once in each of the four "cars" of the train. Having seen a POV on (I think) three of the cars, you really see and hear different stuff going on, while the action continues from scene to scene. Very cool. SPOILER ALERT EDIT: I have to add, I found Daisy's Studio to be the most out-of-place, yet totally calming scene of the entire ride. Compared with all the noise and craziness happening before and after this scene, it's a nice calming spot. Until the tempo changes, heh. And as well, the "stampede" that was being speculated about, was not really about stampeding bulls. It's us and the four train cars being the stampede! And Mickey and Minnie are "rounding us up" for the next scene. And IMhO, I found the Factory scene, and it's eventual conversion, to be the best scene of all, for myself. And Projection Mapping has been outstandingly used, with Disney's work on this attraction. Waytago, Disney!

Happy Birthday Kristen! Hope you had a great day, and best wishes for a great year, too!

Hot Tonight Tokyo Police Club

Well, one way or the other, it's certainly going to be an interesting flat ride. With water!

^ That's very cool! I especially like that little ice cream truck. Groceries = $242 Cdn. And we're having chicken tacos! ...... this Thursday.

^ Very nice.

Now this is a road trip, lol! Great stuff, especially all of the aviation museum. Thanks for sharing your pre-TPR Tour TR!

The new designs look great. But - what is the ride depicted below? I'm not sure what it is or does.

^ And it's only a few days until everybody will know about what's inside, lol. NOTE: It looks like still shots and videos are popping up everywhere now, especially on Disney Fan Sites. And I am Team Mickey (vs.Team Star Wars), all the way!

There's a newly released video out, I am assuming by Disney, of some of the Runaway Railway attraction! It shows a few scenes from the ride (not all of them of course), and I won't describe them to stay spoiler-free. It looks pretty cool, there's a lot of projection mapping, film pieces, along with some great set pieces and animatronics, etc. The theme song is fun, too. If this is available to see here, could somebody else link it here, or post the video? I can't figure these things out, without screwing it up somewhere.

It's amazing to see Tripsdrill getting so much bigger, now! I remember my one visit in 2008 (thanks to TPR), when Mammut was the newbie coaster in the park. Really enjoyed the visit there, and always wished I could have gone back to it.

^ Also, we must remember, that this coaster actually started out in JAPAN. With a themed "mountain" around it. Then it got sold to Camelot. And the park stripped it to just the coaster itself - the bare bones, as it were. One of TPR's earlier Tours to Japan must have it, with a probable POV, too.

Huh. Who'd have thought - that today would have the shortest Birthday List on TPR, LOL! Hope everybody had a great day, today! With a B-Day Doritos Cake? --- Win.

Feb. 29 - 1988 - Disneyland. I rode my motorcycle down to California back then. Stayed with friends in N.Hollywood. And went to DL on this day. I had such a great time, I originally planned to return every Leap Year Day after that. But it never came to be. And getting a photo with Mickey was sure easier than it probably is now, I remember. Mr. Mouse and I. I was 35, back then.

It's just been that kind of a day.
