^ I'm also curious how much beer, wine and etc. they can actually send up on this bar thing? Or will they require you to "order in advance" and then they go up with the required stuff?

Comfort

Aw shucks, thanks everybody. But.....I have to be nice..... My corrections officer told me so. Me gettin' ugly with a burger. Vera's ~ March 30, 2019. And a Happy 4/20 everybody!

^ Good going! I think.

I have to admit, several times, lately. Starbucks Rewards. They 'upped' the number of Bonus Stars you needed for free coffees, custom made coffees, sandwiches, etc. April 16th. So I got, got, and got over 26 free sandwiches!, which now need double the stars, from how many I used to get them (125 vs. 250 now). So....many many "Soup & Sandwich Nights" to come, lol! (And thank goodness we have a big freezer, to help keep the goodness in all those sandwiches.) ^By the way, yeeessss I agree...Bert and I loved having and using the pool available, during our 2017 visit to CP and staying at Breakers. And I rarely go swimming, anywhere. When was the last time you left a tip, in a restaurant?

I read that there was the possibility of the larger (or both) of those two buildings "above Toontown" was/were to be the space for this new attraction, and that the Gag Factory shop would be replaced for the entry and exit queues. They've probably already figured out, how to fit some kind of appropriate Gift Shop back in there, when this opens in 2022, too. And that Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin wasn't being altered/changed at all. What I read. p.s. WOO HOO for M&MsRR coming to Toontown! One of the proposed sites for it.

^ Geez, I hope all you guys got your tetanus shots. Just kidding, but still. Looks like a lot of rust, there.

^ So it's a one-drink-maximum kind of bar, right?

And "just because".... Happy 50th, Fuji-Q! Apparently the actual date to celebrate, was March 27th. No matter. They're doing stuff all this year. (o; Just realized! When I first visited the park in 1972, it was only three years old!

Lots of rain today and tomorrow - but sunshine over the coming Easter weekend. I hope.

^ It could very well be that kind of theming. Hopefully I can see it better in a few days. And I am also hoping, that it will be some kind of thrill ride. But I have the feeling it's going to be more of a family-style kind of ride... Based on killer whales.

I went to the PNE grounds, to hopefully get updated shots of whatever flat ride is being installed by The Beast. And to just check out the lonely PNE grounds, off season. And if Corkscrew has been S-o-l-d! yet. They're hiring for the PNE! Where the main entry gate and ticket booths sit. Nice. I never noticed this, because there's usually vintage cars all around it. Where various food trucks and sales trucks sit.... currently a parking lot. The PNE Administration Bldg....now with Palm Trees! Looking through the middle of what would be the outdoor bar area, and Festival park. What's this? What's this? The 2019 PNE Prize Home being assembled. I like the look of this one, compared to last year's. Looking back to where I came in. "Follow the green planters." The Livestock Buildings, which could use some TLC... i.e. PAINT! Looking across the Beer Garden ~ Rib Fest area, to where the PNE Concert Series happens. SBNS = Standing But Not Sold...yet. It's Asphalt Day today! Best shot I could get. Will check again on Saturday.

SPOILER ALERT! Funniest part of last Sunday's airing, to me, was Jon Snow's total shock reaction.... to finding out he's a) Not a bastard son; b) The True Heir to the Iron Throne; c) Been screwing around with a relative.

Not very imaginative signs (IMhO), but the gp probably won't care, as long as they can get to where they want to go, etc.

^ CoasterMANIA! is always/usually the first Friday of June. Bert and I were there on Friday, June 2nd/17.

Groceries = $167 Cdn.

Also, it looks like they've turned their BREW & BBQ into the "Frontier Festival" during June. https://www.cedarpoint.com/play/events/frontier-festival

^If I remember, for CoasterMANIA! in 2017, you had to go through the main entrance to the park. Because all the check-in stuff and schedules and tags to wear, were all taking place, there in the front of the park. I doubt everything has changed since then. The other entrances (Boardwalk, Marina, Waterparks) opened for everybody, when the park itself opened for business. Yep, we had to go through the front entrance to start CM! back in 2017.

Japan is starting to lose it's helixes in a few of it's coasters.... Works for me!

^ I honestly think (and read) that they didn't get to the windows in time. That said, a lot of the artwork treasures have been saved and currently, it's still being reported that those two bell towers at the front, and the back of the cathedral can/may still be saved. The destruction is all in the middle of it. My last shot of Notre Dame, near the end of our Paris visit, Sept.2015.

In the city of Paris, Notre Dame Cathedral was IN FLAMES today. Roof destroyed, a main spire fell, precious stained glass windows are gone. But - nobody killed or inured (so far) in trying to save the rest of it, any of it. Other than the Rant Thread, I didn't know where to put this. Please understand. So... my thoughts are with the people of Paris and France. The last shot I took of Notre Dame, on our Sept.2015 trip. I've recently read, these two towers survived the fire.

Notre Dame Cathedral was ON FIRE all day today. Apparently most (if not all) of the art works inside were saved. And nobody was killed or injured, from what I've read. But the roof was totaled, the main spire fell, and it's just sad, sad, sad to see the photos and film of it all. My healing thoughts are with the people of Paris and France.

Darn. I've still got three weeks to go, before Playland(PNE) finally opens.
