^ Ha! Put a couple of animatronic elephants in that waterfall setup, and you've got a "a little bit of Disney Jungle Cruise." In the WDW Magic Kingdom's version. Photo from the www. -

Tusenfryd Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Shadowforce's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Tusenfryd is really upping their theme park content, with the new spinning coaster, and this soon-to-be inverted one. It "almost" makes me want to revisit the place, and hike up and down and up and down that (truly) "Mountain Park". Oh, did I forget to mention ..... up and down and up and down and .... One of "those shots" ~ TPR 2014 Scandinavia Tour. -

^ I thought he was amazing as Sonny in "the first" The Godfather film. Then of all places, with Streisand in "Funny Lady" and later with Bette Midler in "For The Boys" (a fave Midler movie of mine). And of course, "Elf". He was great in a lot of great films. Will miss him.

^ I don't think they're going to do anything in future, with their Splash Mountain. Somehow, the racist connection with the Disney movie isn't with the Japanese locals. They honestly don't know a lot about the USA film's racist past. They've had to have their own history to deal with. So I really don't think, there's going to be any major change to Splash Mountain at TDL. IMhO.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

^ The "Wind Seeker" thing sort of looks like what we got at Playland(PNE) this year. What we got at Playland, is being called SkyBender. -
^ Yum, lucky co-workers!

Lucky, lucky me, several days ago! The underlined 4, was the only number I matched on the nightly draw.

Just found out, that after nearly two years of retrofitting, our Coaster in Playland(PNE) is now going to have SEAT BELTS installed for "added safety". What a crock. The thing's been running for over 60 years, and not one person has died on it. Without seat belts. Period. They just neutered Coaster. And all those past accolades (and awards) from clubs and individuals, just got pissed on. Period. I don't think I'm ever going to ride it again. Not that way.

Playland/PNE (Vancouver) Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Nrthwnd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, this sucks, big time! With new press releases about the new Skybender flat ride in the park, they also added this crappy piece of information about Coaster... Yeah, now we won't be able to pop up out of our seats like we used to, with amazing air time on Coaster. And this is after 64 years of operation??? Crap. What a letdown after waiting these past years while it got "retrofitted." I'm not that sure that I want to even ride it again, after this "addition." Ever. We'll see, but it still sucks. -
