By the way, and this is just me, for my first ride on this attraction, I would like to be at the back, and On Automatic, so I can just enjoy the ride, and see how the other five are freeking out in front of me, LOL! That said, I would honestly love to ride it with everything On Automatic, just to see and feel how it runs itself, without us banging on buttons, etc. p.s. I will play the part of the character who doubts his own engineering abilities, and doesn't quite trust this crew (and their abilities) for this "mission."

This is true.

Big forest fires happening in B.C. right now. My thoughts are with all the firefighters who risk their lives to work at putting it all out.

Playland/PNE (Vancouver) Discussion Thread

I checked the Zamperla page, and that gallery could use a photo of our Swinger in there, now. It would definitely stand out from the other, more traditionally themed and decorated, swingers. And in BLUE, too! p.s. And I hope I hope I hope it's going to be open and running, tomorrow. -

^ Huh. And it's Italian-made, too. I was hoping it would be more North American-made, but that's okay. And some where, in those two photos, I am among the other riders, since they took a lot of photos during it's first run, which I was on. So, maybe they'll have it (continually) running, starting this weekend! The listing looks good with the other rides. -

Fuji-Q Highlands Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Ed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ That's great how your hotel stay and visit to Fuji went! I must admit, although my second* visit there was anything but great (2007, the 3+ hour wait for Eejainaka was IMhO the most memorable part of that visit), the following two visits (2011 and 2013) were awesome, thanks to Elissa and Robb's getting the group FastPass tickets, the weather being nice, and it actually wasn't too crowded...from what I remember of those two visits. Did you have a meal there, inside the park itself? I am curious how that went, if you did. Thanks for sharing all your visit! *EDIT: I totally forgot I visited Fuji back in....1972! Operations then, were just as slow as they were in 2007, lol. -
Game: When was the last time you...
Nrthwnd replied to onewheeled999's topic in Random, Random, Random
Earlier this evening. Tuesday nights, it's Church's fried chicken and fries. Yum. When was the last time you skipped a dessert? -
Except Fuji-Q is full of rides/coasters that are actually worth risking a visit for. Fixed? And agreed, totally.

It's very cool that they have the train already on track, and the tracking isn't even finished, yet! -
La Ronde is the Fuji-Q of North America.
