^Thanks Bert! Just returned from my usual wonderful French Restaurant, locally. Pricy but so worth it. And an Absinthe cocktail to end the evening. https://www.bistroabsinthe.com/

Preach.

^ Actually, you have to consider, the villages around some of these European places were there first, in truth. But America is different and it is the other way around. Cities are built closer and closer to already existing parks, and then they complain about crowd noise and/or ride noise, that's "suddenly invading their privacy" blah blah blah. My five cents.

....and eat at MELT and Famous Dave's.

^^ That lift hill setup (first photo) looks like a glorious cathedral of some kind. Very impressive.

^ Um, actually? nothing doing. I think. #whatsasportsteam?

^ Well, yeah. But we've had great BBQ locally and beyond, etc. etc. too. Just sayin'. Memphis has been made good, where we are. https://www.memphisbluesbbq.com/british-columbia-1 And they've been where you've been. Less often, but they get it. Yum for us on The Drive.

All the Disney parks/resorts I know of, seem to go through "phases" in building new stuff, etc. And this really looks like Orlando is getting a lot of new stuff in the coming years. Good for them. It's deserved. The 2020's are going to be a good time, going to a lot of global Disney Parks, actually.

^AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAlike it. When hand puppets go EVIL.

^ You're so lucky to go that often. Yum.

^ Here's the menu pricing I paid, in my 2017 visit. Obviously prices could have increased by now. But here. And worth every dollar spent for it. And I'm Canadian, too! I had the half slab. Hence, the "leftovers." Yum. (o;

It is a mantra: Famous Dave's ~ Famous Dave's ~ Famous Dave's... ...and then go riding things, again. My plate at FD's. Yum. June 04/17. Leftovers. Yum.

^ LOL Noted! But I do not understand anything you posted in your EDIT. Nonetheless...these two shots look wonderful! IMvhO.

^ Awesome video Robb! I love how you've put in Shanghai TRON video parts, where needed to describe and show where the track is going, etc. Excellent video!

^ Awwwwww. I just love kiittens! And yes, we loves our current cat of choice, Stella! The fact that she wants to be outside and still not run away, is a testament to David's and my previous experience with what? over 20 other felines we've had, or who have had us, blah blah? Just caught her sleeping, in one of her fave spots through the years. Our neighbour's back deck, dirty as it is, lol. (No captions needed.)

BONUS PHOTO I forgot to post! (idiot bear) They had a new very sweet cocktail (I thought) available at the tent/bar beside Coaster. It was a really normal blend of sugar water, vodka and your choice of "flavours". And you could mix a couple or more, if you dared. I declined to do that, and had one with apple. It was also "smoking" due to some dry ice thrown in for effect. It was tasty and actually not as sweet as I thought it would be, like the others I've had there (see previous post ^ for flavours). And you got to keep the mini-hurricane shaped glass if you wanted to. I must have been already ....um..... 6-7 beers happy, and apparently threw mine away. Ah well. Hope they do it again, next year and not change it! So the only thing I got from it... was the photo of the sign, lol. Enjoy. Also, decided just now, to plug this amazing drummer we had as the first act for the PNs last Friday night. This is how they described him. And he is definitely worth seeing/hearing again. Totally manic and totally in control. Great party act! One of the very few times, he was actually sitting down! (o:

^ But - how would you put an IKEA one together??? That little 'tool' they always include would be....dare I say....useless. Great TR Bert. So much stuff to see and experience there!

^ Those look great! And I don't see why the MODS (hello mods?) can't change this thread's title to Coasters at Sunrise & Sunset

Yeah, and I remember seeing the snakes in that water too, when the water was below the dock.

"Viva Las Vegas" Elvis Presley

^ That last shot is perfect! Actually, they all are. But I really like how the two trains fit into this last one.

Young Star Coaster / 飞马家庭过山车 Chimelong Paradise (Panyu, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China) TPR 2012 China Tour.

I would rather be in the bar at that time, if such a quake happened. "I'll have mine shaken, not stirred."

It's our Commercial Drive's turn to hold one of these, today.
