^ OK. I'll believe this one too, thanks!

A hot sunny Sunday, today. Got one ride on Coaster, but left it at that, as the queue was really long by the time I got off the train. No matter. A nice leisurely spin on The Wheel, several $$$ worth of quarters plunked into PLINKO and a MONOPOLY version of the quarters drop machines. And that was it! By the way, I think the MONOPOLY quarter drops, are much more...uh..... "profitable" in the prize tickets? In the PLINKO machine .... $10 = 200 tickets. The MONOPOLY machine I tried, first time? $4 = 214 tickets. And these machines are mostly ignored, since the great location of PLINKO immediately draws the curious kids in. With quarters. Lots of quarters. Things that make you go "Hmmmmm." But I'll never tell about the MONOPOLY machines. This got much MUCH longer, after I rode Coaster. I Do Respect. I also wish there were more gardens around the park, too. The Twins are in full view. I always love this view on The Wheel. Glad? Not really. The Gladiator has been closed, for several weeks now. )o: These chairs sure get around. I wonder if they'll repaint them red, the colour they usually are, for the PNE? The Beast: "I see Swingers! Nom nom nom nom nom." Front Row, Hands Up! The Beast, soaring above The only Old West themed "attraction", in the park. (o;

^ Great idea! Wish I'd thought of that for more on-ride photos we've gotten, through the years. We did get one that's great standing or on the fridge! TPR 2013 Japan Tour. (Sea Paradise Park)

^ Yep. Got this - Hacked By Mr.Iwong404.

^ Actually, i was thinking more, of having the "right drugs" for it..... But yeah. I enjoyed seeing the original Broadway cast in it (1982) and I saw one tour of it, locally. But that's it. I have the feeling it's going to go the way of Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera" Remember it? I hardly do. Some stage musicals should (probably) never be made into films, see: "A Chorus Line". My personal Yuk. And I did see the original Broadway cast in 1976. And it was perfect. And then there are the rare few, that do work on film, see: "Chicago". My Ultimate Fave. Saw it onscreen 19 times. And I did see that on Broadway too, w/original cast, also in 1976. And it was perfect, too. Actually, and thankfully, they would probably never get away with a filmed version of "The Book of Mormon". BTW, I want to mention, I also posted this trailer link in the Movies and Musicals threads. Covering my bases. Sorry, this is more of a Movies Thread thing. But hey - Life Jumps Around, from time to time.

I don't know how to make it appear here but...here's the first trailer for the film version of the London/Broadway Musical...CATS. It's quite something to watch, really!

^ I will think good ~ steadying ~ thoughts for you, when you're up there on those cliffs. Have a great day tomorrow, you and everybody doing the C4Ks, Bert!

^ Ah. Got it. Thanks.

First trailer of the movie version of CATS has just been released. It's quite something. It's pretty freeky, in and of itself. Enjoy, kittens.

For those who are CATS musical freeks, here's the first official trailer for the movie, coming up in December... It's pretty freeky, in and of itself. Enjoy, kittens. See my small opinion of this trailer here. https://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21366&p=1914171#p1914171

or...."Ticket Counting Machines are NOT Money Changing Machines!" Decided to start my Friday visit to the park, with another shot of that crazy-looking brake run in Coaster's station. After that, it was some more PLINKO (winning over 300 tix with just a few $$$), a ride on The Wheel, my dollar popcorn refill, and a generally nice day there. Oh, and from the "Idiot GP Dept."...... A family assumed that the ticket counting machines were the money changing machines. So there was actual folded money inside both ticket slots of the back-to-back machines. The kids working the Arcade couldn't pull them out, so... maintenance pending. So I had to have my tix counted at the front redemption area. Thankfully, it was a "walk on" lol. Sexy brake run? Got two rides on purple train. (o: This is a "PNE/Playland Approved" block of cement! Yeah, Pizza Pizza is pretty pricy for my liking. I can leave the park, walk a couple of blocks, and get two Large Loaded Deluxe Pizzas for one of these. I keep reminding myself that one day, I will have/try one - slice. And note, those I know in the USA, this is Cdn $. So....$23 U.S.? Is that good for you? Gaming tables are ready. Now they have to wait another month before the betting gp arrives, at PNE time. Note: The most totally useless things in Playland. People either slip by them, go through them, or let their kids turn and turn them like a propeller. Useless really, IMhO. But I guess it's a bit of "queue control." Corkscrew's still For Sale, and Revelation stopped halfway for Maintenance. The Twins have disappeared! But these twins are flying nicely. ArrrrrrrrrrrSNAP! From The Wheel I saw this. First time in a while, not seeing anybody in the queue. Then I found out. A.....um....."spill" had occurred in that back row, a ride op is cleaning up. I did not envy this ride op. Local TV news personality with her "haul" before doing the afternoon weather. People! These take tickets. Not cash! (How could these idiots miss all this info.on it???)

^ What is a CPU? Sorry, I looked it up and I still can't figure it out. Thanks in advance. (And I am looking for the joke in this, too.)

^ LOL! Now that would be a big surprise, I betcha!

Yes. Do you know what "money laundering" actually means?

^ Looks awesome. I love the dead end track at "both ends" of the coaster. But - what happens if there's a 'tie'? As improbable as that sounds, it could happen with 12 riders on it, from what I can make out. 6 forward and 6 backward votes = ?

^^^ Hey hey! Congratulations on your achievement! My 200th was a bad Mine Train coaster in Japan. Gold Rush my #200

Happy Birthday to all the 20+ year olds in TPR, today! First time in a long time, I haven't seen any birthdays for those "under 20."

This just in. There was a documentary made of the creation of Come From Away. It's already been seen in Canada, won several awards, and on September 11th, there's a one time showing of it in American theaters. Here's the Broadway.com article about it, including the trailer for it. https://www.broadway.com/buzz/196417/award-winning-documentary-you-are-here-a-come-from-away-story-to-play-us-theaters-on-september-11/

^ Have a great time! I'm not planning to be there again, till Wednesday. And don't put off the Kettle Creek Mine coaster or Bug Whirled as just "children's coasters". They're great for everybody. Enjoy yourself!

Too bad the Tornado has a divider in the seats. That's the most fun, to me, about our Coaster. You get to bash into each other back and forth, lol. Great TR. My first and only visit there was in....1976? Glad to see it's looking nice as ever.

Bumping this up, to ask the question, how many of these are left and still running, now? On page 1 Robb listed the seven he remembers....I realize I have been on five of them! Actually six, since I did ride Tidal Wave (MsGA) in it's day.
