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.

We just saw "Babylon" the other night. On tv. And thankfully, not a big screen. Honestly? A lot of everything (All At Once?<g>) thrown at the viewer. Loudly, too. We both thought it was was just a long lengthy piece of ..... sadness. And drugs. No rock. No roll. All in all, we are just glad we didn't pay full movie theater price, etc. A one and done movie. And on the absurd opposite of this, we are looking forward to Margot Robbie in "Barbie".

Mmmmmmm, love that Tower! Every trip we've made to Paris, always included a trip up Eiffel's creation. The 'architecture' of it is always amazing to me. Thanks for all the wonderful views of it, and the surrounding area, Bert!

Happy Weekend Everybody!

^ Take all the time you need, Bert! I am happily looking forward to your next installment.

MONEY from the "Dark Side of The Moon" album Pink Floyd

So ..... anything "April Fools Day - ish" happen to anyone here? Just curious. Yellow.

Looks like they're starting to test some of ZOOTOPIA's lighting, etc. Awesome! Thank you to "You Who Took These Photos"! Both of you! Looking real great, there.

Naw. It was just bad. So bad, that Ginny was nearly dumped out of her car, when 'something happened' to the locking mechanism. I think. It was still quite a scare for her and us who saw it happen. (TPR 2010 Europe Tour) It's had it's time in the Italian sun.

Honestly Amy, I won't be much help here. All my parks travel for a good ten years was done through TPR and Elissa and Robb's planning and scheduling. I think they would be better at commenting and advising. Along with pretty much everybody else you mentioned here. And "all of the above" looks pretty good, from what I'm seeing, so far. Hope any or all of this helps you.

This will make London's West End Theatre District more interesting. Opening on May 10th. And it's a "Play With Music.".... Hmmm. More info. on the play can be found here: https://ca.yahoo.com/news/brokeback-mountain-stage-adaptation-open-164552382.html

"I Want It That Way" from the Broadway Musical "& Juliet" It's one of those "jukebox musicals" (think "Mama Mia") all based on the premise of .... "What if Juliet took the 'sleeping potion'. Then woke up to find her Romeo is (supposedly) dead. But he too, has faked his death. unbeknownst to her. BUT instead of taking the real death potion (to be with her Romeo in heaven, she thinks), Juliet takes off and" .......... Both the Broadway and the London Cast recordings, are great!
