If it is that one (Extreme?), then it's great, as this one is what Crush's Coaster is in WDS in Paris. Only this one isn't indoors.

Maybe Midway Market is being turned into a better buffet-service place to eat? When Bert and I were there last year, it was an alright place to eat. Nothing that special, but I do remember the dessert offerings were pretty decent. Many many desserts. June 3/17.

^ Well, this is definitely putting lipstick on the proverbial pig. The ride, in my humble opinion, was just not that great a ride. It's an oddity, to be sure, in the coaster world. But still. It's crap.

Another place to buy those holiday gifts, coming up... http://www.pne.ca But.........'Makies' ? Same bldg.where the Model Train EXPO was, in November!

^ But that's how great and FAST, Tokyo Disney is! There could have been a crack in the sides of a "box" (or more), that somebody told a cast member about, and Instant Fencing!...for now. I bet in some North American parks, stuff like that (like paint peeling, perhaps?), sits.... and sits ..... and so on ..... blah blah blah. Sad to read they had to do it. Hopefully they'll put it back together real soon, and re-open the space with a few "new rules" posted. Maybe even station a cast member nearby to watch over it, when it's first re-opened.

^ LOL, and I totally forgot he played the original Luke in Altar Boyz! That off-B shoiw got so much good reviews for of the guys in it, Karl included. So... ... I just ordered my first copy of it, on Amazon, heh. And he's waaaay overdue for his TONY. Kelli O'Hara FINALLY got hers (for "King & I", just saw it stage/on/screen from London, earlier this afternoon!), so why not Andy next June for "Pretty Woman"? I also consider him and his wife Orfeh one of those "Broadway Power Couples" that can do (so far) not too much wrong, separate or together in a musical. Danny Burstein and Rebecca Luker are another pair like that, in different styles, too.

Hey, hey you ANDY KARL fans! The actor currently in Pretty Woman: The Musical did a recent interview with http://www.broadway.com and was "dared" to name all of his musical characters, including a couple of off-B ones. This includes his famous UPS Guy ("Legally Blonde") and last year's TONY-nomed part in "Groundhog Day:The Musical." He dared them back (w/o naming them all) to get "somebody" to paint them all, on one canvas..."like the Last Supper." Well somebody from Broadway.com did just that, and they just posted it! Enjoy. (l. to r.) Andy Karl as Edward ("Pretty Woman"), Joe ("9 to 5"), The Bustle Fluffer ("The Mystery of Edwin Drood" music video) , Tony ("Saturday Night Fever"), Fiyero ("Wicked"), Phil Connors ("Groundhog Day"), himself, Kyle the UPS Guy ("Legally Blonde"), Rocky Balboa ("Rocky"), Adam ("Slut"), Neville ("The Mystery of Edwin Drood"), Luke ("Altar Boyz"), Tommy DeVito ("Jersey Boys") & Bruce Granit ("On the 20th Century")...Illustration: Ryan Casey for Broadway.com

Yes the beer looks great, and Happy Belated Birthday to the Birthday Girl! But really - you definitely had me at Josephine's. Great shots of the park Chuck, especially those night ones!

Baby ooooh baby Prepare for Absolute Pleasure

Steak Custard or Pudding?

Wasn't one of the Ben Franklin AAs in The American Adventure at EPCOT, the first "walking AA"? Trying to remember, here. He "walked up stairs" I think. It's such a long stretch of time (to me), between then and now. But I'm glad they're making some really awesome AAs (like Olaf) that do more than stand in one place. This Belle looks amazing! All of them, lol! P.S. If this is what they're doing with AAs in "Beauty and The Beast", I can't stop thinking about what they're going to come up with, for the new Frozen attraction over in the "Fantasy/Magic Springs" of TDS? I did read (probably here?) they didn't want a clone of the "Frozen Ever After" flume ride, at EPCOT. They wanted something original and "E ticket" worthy. Can't wait for that!

Today's poutine will be Merguez.

Huh. The B&B video isn't here any more. In case others missed it.... tdrexplorer.com still has it in their posting of the OLC press release. https://tdrexplorer.com/details-released-for-beauty-and-the-beast-attraction-and-other-redevelopment-at-tokyo-disneyland/ P.S. And I love the new Baymax ride too! And the new popcorn shop, as well.

^ Well, sometimes you find deals you never expected, with Disney. I just ordered another interesting (to me) TOMICA 3-set - Alice/Belle/Jasmine Vehicles! Just the old gay in me, un-resisting pretty glittery things. EDIT: Just discovered this is part of a set of 6-8 "vehicles." That'll larn me. Jasmine & Belle on Top. Alice Underneath. In the photo, they actually look pretty cool!

^ Auntie Anne's sounds like a cover for ("Bombass Pretzels") dope dealing.

Side note, but I completely agree with you about Supernatural. My partner is still a bonafide watcher, but I can take or leave it, now. I think it's gone a year (or more) past it's "freshness label".

Ok, I am curious. What's with the * after Robb's member name, tonight? Just appeared. EDIT: And now it's gone. Hmmmm.

^ I find it neat how they've taken that (probable) ride vehicle of SeaWorld's, and then doubled the back row of each one, and added an extra seat to the front row. Those are biiiiiiiig "serving dishes," heh. And in a few of the art concepts of the attraction, it also looks like they will be dispatching them in groups of three (or 6), with six of the vehicles coming together and "dancing" with each other, like in Pooh's Hunny Hunt dream scene in TDL. That's 30 (or 60) people each dispatch! A record for dark ride (trackless) vehicles, yes? No? Wonder what the numbers mean on their concept art "model" of the new areas?

^ that video! What else can I say? And the "ride dishes" look awesome! Actually, they weren't kidding at the # per dish/vehicle, in earlier art! Thanks for posting all of this, Adam! At first look, I felt these ride vehicles were holding a wee too many peeps in them. Glad I was wrong! They're like little mini-theatre-balconies! (o:

Clear and c-c-c-c-cold.

^^ How about: D) All of the Above....?

I think I'm still at 21, or around that number. But I believe the larger, majority of my wooden coasters (50) are from continents other than North America. And the beat goes on.
