^ Will do my best to find out. No guarantees, but it's worth a try, asking.

^ They sent out a "Know Before You Go" email yesterday, to those who already had Passes and day tickets, like myself. In all of the info. that they sent, there was this, stuck in the middle of it all: Grrrrr. I totally agree with you, that after all this f-ing time not being open, they could have done all this coaster work during that time. But apparently, they didn't/haven't finished. I've never been able to understand why they don't complete refurbishment during their off-times' season. I am hoping to hit Opening Day tomorrow. And I will ask around about Coaster. Hopefully there's some kind of answer.

^ We're getting our "Broadway Across Canada" subscription shows, now. Aladdin is up next for us, late July. We may get "My Fair Lady" in the 2024-25 Season. I know it won't be the same Broadway cast, but I do love the revival's CD. That said... This was one of those "shot in the dark" kind of musical CD purchases for me. It actually, suddenly appeared in the Musicals Section of Amazon.ca. a couple of days ago. There is nothing to tell about it, except it's a few years old apparently. Started out (like in New York) Off-West End, and just opened recently in the West End. The reviews of this musical are pretty ecstatic. Too ecstatic for me, personally. But I still bought it, nonetheless. Hmmm.... I remember there was to be a UK musical being created, based on the popular "Great British Baking Show," on tv. Could this be the resulting musical? Time will tell when I receive it. But anyone from the London area, or someone who saw it while traveling there, I would really like to know more about this one. Thanks in advance. Eye catching colour and title/logo. "Ba - nan - aaaaaa" EDIT TO ADMIT: I Googled it, and it's actually based on a book and movie about 1943, the war.... and stuff. Here's the actual link to it all: https://www.operationmincemeat.com/ So no singing about baked goods for us, lol. For now ....

Just found a great, night time overhead shot of ShDL, especially showing ZOOTOPIA with the work lights on. Thanks to "You Who Took This Shot" in the lower right hand corner, there.

I'm so glad she was a part of the creation of her Bio-Musical, "Tina". Right up to when the actor portraying her, won The TONY for the part. She was an amazing performer. Got to see her - experience her - on two different tours. With Ike, and then on her own with the (what I call) "What's Love Tour." Awesome performer she was.

Ha! When the train came to another building (after the "boom" one?). I thought it was back at the station.... How wrong was I, lol? Add to that, I wasn't expecting a second go-round with different sound effects (yes?) happening. Great family coaster that everybody can enjoy.

An opening date (of sorts) has been announced for the World of Frozen...

Found a couple of new photos posted, about the Arendelle Slidin' Sleighs Coaster. (Thanks to whoever took these shots) The first photo show AAs (I think?) of Sven and Olaf, and what is probably how you get up the Lift Hill. They help pull you up. Second shot is off the track itself, winding in and out of a very real looking bunch of rock and greenery, heh. This is the (literal) carrot Sven needs to pull us up that hill. Hopefully, Olaf gets his nose back. 'Round and 'round the sleighs go. Everything is looking great, there. I love Disney Imagineers' Landscaping!

Just got an email from Playland, asking me to (finally) register online, for my Season Pass there. Which I dutifully did. So, I get to pick up my photo pass (Yes, they're back to that!) on Opening Day, June 03. I get a one day pass to enter, etc. Kewl! Looking forward to seeing what's new/old/surprising there this season. And eventually, riding Coaster with (ugh) seat belts for First Ride. Who knows? With my physical health at my age ... probably better with the belt, heh. Recent overhead shot of Playland, with the new flat ride in place during last summer's PNE. (middle right of shot) Funny thing is .... it hardly operated, during the entire two weeks of The Fair.

I like this design of a Mad/Wild Mouse spinning coaster. It definitely has a different layout than I've seen in "off the shelf mouse spinners," etc. So that alone, makes it unique to me for CP. I just hope the dispatch times are "mouse size," to make the whole attraction come alive, with those mice chasing that cheese!

And the three musicals which got totally shut out of the TONY Nominations, were: "A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical"; "Bob Fosse's Dancin'"; and "Bad Cinderella" (Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest, from London's West End). "Dancin'" has already posted a closing notice. I wonder if and when the other two will follow suit. There are exceptions that hold on and still do good business. "Finding Neverland" was one of those Tony Shut-Outs, that still played for a good year+ (2015-16) before c;losing.

"but unknown enemies ambush them." Great set up, lol.

Soundtrack is .... catchy. All American Rah Rah Rah kind of thing. Wait till non-park site riders find out, it was European built, raised and toured with...... Talkin' About a Revolution! Still, nice to find out it's moving closer to me, lol. It's an awesome coaster.

And here's The Five who got The 2023 TONY Nomination (among other noms) for BEST MUSICAL .... Broadcast of the TONYs is Sunday, June 11th. On CBS. 8pm EST (Live).

Renowned Canadian Singer, Gordon Lightfoot, 84.

And for those like me, who need/WANT to know... The 2023 TONY AWARD Nominations happen tomorrow morning, in New York, 9 am EST. I believe https://www.broadway.com/ is a good site to check out for a broadcast of the noms. Or, head to the Tony Awards site itself for the "you are there" announcements. https://www.tonyawards.com/ Best of Luck (spits on floor three times, then turns three times) to all the nominees. w/o Neil P. Harris on June 11th.

Great tour of the place! With the TPR tours, I got to enjoy the LegoLands in England and Denmark. The miniature cities and iconic 'things' were always amazing to check out. Congrats to your LegoLand on their First Birthday!

Found a great 2021 pizza story at Kitchn.com ~ here's the link to it... https://www.thekitchn.com/guinness-world-record-types-of-cheese-pizza-23112832 Still from the accompanying video in the article. But, does it 'taste' like anything....cheesy? P.S. If you hit the photo, you'll get ALL of the Pizzas' photos in this Thread! Fair warning.

Playland is once again hosting their 2nd Annual HAPPYLAND event. On Sunday, August 6th, from 4:30pm on. More information and tickets can be had at: https://www.ticketleader.ca/events/detail/happyland-2023?source=homepage Note that tickets will also "include access to Playland." Great! Oh .... and Happy Earth Day!

What are Rooms '217' and '237' meaning? Room '666' I understand. I think. Still, I am curious about the other two numbers. Great ongoing visual tour of everything going on at Liseberg, Marcus. Much appreciated.

Playland(PNE) in Vancouver, is hosting their second annual HAPPYLAND evening, with access to Playland itself during the day. For tickets and more info. go to https://www.ticketleader.ca/events/detail/happyland-2023?source=homepage

Playland is now scheduled to open on Saturday, June 03 (Sat.-Sunday only in June). And they have a bunch of different prices for single day, and season passes. With or without the thrill rides, etc. It looks like the Season (Thrill) Pass (already got mine) will get one 10% off their food and games, too! Great! Here's where to find more information: https://www.pne.ca/playland/ And it looks like, until the PNE opens in mid-August, Playland will actually be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. A first! DISNEYLAND Trivia: DL did that too, back in the 1960s... close on Mondays and Tuesdays. They did it, to help support Knott's Berry Farm get their crowds. And Knott's thanked them, by closing on Wednesdays and Thursdays, truth! I was there in 1963 and remember how me and my mother planned our trip there, to both parks. A-E tickets sold there too, at that time. Photo from Playland(PNE).

Yeah, can't wait for a-holes to try and climb that circular lift hill, once the coaster opens. Fun times ahead.

Great Eiffel souvenir stuff there, Bert! I think though, I have the Full Version of the Tower, above there. From our 2015 Tour de Paris et Amsterdam.
