Scram-BLUR ...... ha! Like that name. Great TRs, both old and new.

"Nurse Ratchet has left the ...... ahem ..... psychiatric hospital." Louise Fletcher was great in that role, but she did so many other great films as well as "Cuckoo's Nest". Gone at age 88. A great actress she was.

^ I laughed because when you named that roll.... I instantly thought ....... SUSHI!

^ Hey hey! How you doing? We're fine, here. Summer still meant staying close to home, etc. Got back into seeing live theatre, YES! And being able to do lunch at a fave burger place on The Drive,..... Vera's! Awesome burgers with equally great sides, too. http://www.verasburgershack.com/

^ I would have gone with the Brat and the Tri Tip On A Stick. And a stein included, too? Easy Win. Great tour of The New Coaster, there. Hope more ... uh .... foliage grows in, eventually.

Happy International CHOCOLATE DAY! and all that goes with it! In Canada, Purdys has their Birthday Cake chocolates available. Yum!

I just found a page posted, (all written in Mandarin I believe?), that shows one of the new animatronic figures in the Zootopia ride.... Officer Clawhauser! Here's the link to the page with the video of him speaking, etc. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/hfzvmvOXB6U0POGwKuGf0g Very cool to see and hear, even if I don't understand the language, lol. But they do have an English translation, bottom of the vid screen. Isn't he cute?

^ Actually, the construction in front of that massive "warehouse" as you put it, is where the attraction is located. That said, they (the D23 weekend) released a lot of concept art for (I think) most of the ride vehicles designed for the new Disney attractions, world-wide. And I must say, the design for the ZOOTOPIA ride vehicle looks more like it would run like Test Track in EPCOT, or Journey in DisneySea. Giant slot cars, lol. Of course, the wheels on the vehicle could be totally fake, and it could still be a trackless vehicle. But reading that there might be a "car chase" in the attraction's route, the slot car track design makes more sense, to me. Trackless vehicles, so far, just amble along w/o much high speed involved. IMhO.

^ Thanks for this. I rode SkyBender on July 31st, which is 'normally' our Pride Parade Day. Was a fun ride to ride. Coaster was GRRRRR down that day. We're going to the PNE tomorrow (Thurs). They've re-opened the front way to the Fair, calling it Red Gate (Purple is Playland gate). And, have put the Marketplace back in the first building there at the front, The Forum. Lots of eat places/trucks from there, on. And we're interested in seeing The Stars of the Peking Acrobats. Done the dogs show. Still probably good, but already been seen, a few years' running. And ... planning to sample the Deep Fried Oreos; 2 Brisket Pho Tacos; a Squid Ink Corn Dog; and our two RIBS places in Revel District. We do both of them.... Oink. The new ride, "in action." Taken on Sunday, July 31st.

^ Great name, Chuck! You add that evil smelling rat/mouse/whatever inside coaster, and that Toad Hill Shoot the Chute (kinda), and it's a whole different side of London, LOL! The Ultimate's lift hill to .........? TPR 2010 UK Tour. Nope. Once was enough, thankeuuuuuuuuuuuuu. What it was named, on the TPR 2006 UK Tour. That other .... uh .... ride. Mmmm green water. 2006 UK Tour.

^4 ~ Great "I Am Groot" outfit on your son! Love it.

On my way home from my one and only Playland visit this year (to be posted soon), I stopped at a local A&W for take out. Then, while waiting for my order, I saw this..... Made me smile.

^ I think it's a mozzarella "patty" there. Circular in shape. So it, and the chicken patty practically look the same.

Here's photos and an ad for what the Singapore McDs is currently offering: That is - a lot of cheese, there. The whole thing has gotten mixed reviews on it.

"The Tide Is High" Blondie

Anne Heche, 53.

If I can get through the rest of today.... ...then the rest will be pancakes.

^ 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.

^ Your "full-service restaurant" order looked awesome! All of the rest of your tour - equally awesome!

Grizzly Hunt. I like that name.

^ Looks great! Hope it tasted as good as it looked.

Before I saw the caption, I actually thought it was improved parking with those overhead solar panels, like Disney Paris had? Has? My mistake.

^ No, no....... not "like" ...... looooooove!

Found this on the net. And the caption goes.... "Quite the contrast of a highly themed and joyous theme park destination, across from a government quarantine centre for a deadly pandemic" Overhead photo taken by Jack Sin. Thanks!

I just "love" the food offerings that SF:MM offers for these special events. Simple, Classic stuff.... 'Nough said. And then there was Knott's during this same event weekend I attended (both parks visited).... Beverage container not part of it, but still ...... yeah, well.... IMhO. 2016 West Coast Bash Weekend.
