Great TR Bert! And all - that - food! No wonder you're planning to go back for more. Did you guys have the Lanyard Sampler Cards? I noticed that 15 = $80, etc. Just curious.

Well, the commercial was released, a friend saw it and was kind enough to email it to me, since David and myself hadn't seen it, yet. Kind of sorry to hear only one line from me, but it's The Punch Line to it all... "That's not an A&W Burger." It wasn't, and I got The Real Burger at the end of my shoot; as did everybody else in this one. Hmmm. 8 of us picked, out of 40+ who showed up...? Lucky me and us! Here's the link to the commercial and other A&W commercials of the past: (Um, my friend paused it at where I showed up. So you have to restart the vid. No big deal.) My 2 seconds of burger fame. Impressive, huh? I even, sort of, match the food truck! And what I was wearing, was my 700+ Coaster t-shirt! (In golden) And I had The Punch Line, to the whole thing, HaH!

Great report. And ....I want my own mini-Tagada, lol! Really! I remember seeing this size as a display version, at a past convention. But I never really thought that somebody would actually buy this smaller version,. etc. Or that it was available, at all! My mistake. And thanks for all the monorail info, too.

And talk about early, early early! Just filed my Cdn Income Tax Forms! On paper! With pen! And a calculator! Truth! And I am getting a bunch (to me) of $$$ back! (And stay tuned, when I find out, all my calculations, is WRONG-WRONG-WRONG. See what happens.)

For myself, that last part of the run is perfect. I do love all of it, but.... ....Starting with the three tunnels and just 'eventually' coming back to the station. And still thrilling. Sort of, reminds me of, Lightning Rod's return to it's station, all the way down that hill. Really great. Thanks for the vid, Robb.

<sighs> I miss the old days, where nobody knew where you were really going for holidays. Now, it's like a Massive Project to be planned for. And executed. Online. Just saying.

^^ Like yourself, am totally OMG about the existence of this park. Which shows you, that all amusement/theme parks have not been discovered or ..... re-discovered again, yet. Which is a cool thing to know, right? And thanks to all who find such stuff, for us all to enjoy and know about.

"Shut Up and Dance." ...from the Broadway Tony-winning musical "Moulin Rouge". Winning BEST MUSICAL Tony for 2021. And Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor of same.

#SoJealousHERE It's looking pretty kick-A right now. Thanks for posting the update, Bert! And SF:FT too!

^ Ha! Call it a "Confused Patty". Should work. A TV commercial, just released, from A&W (for Western Canada), has the TEEN BURGER for $3.99, a deal for two weeks only. Aaaaand ...... in the commercial, Yours Truly is there..... somewhere! Truth! I swear I haven't seen it yet, but will post a LINK if I can. Amazingly (to me) I was one out of at least 40+ people, who got to be featured in this commercial! Maybe it was the grey hair and beard, hee hee. "Almost Gandalf", right? Who knows. I got the gig! And a free Teen Burger at the time! To be continued.... (Which literally means: "Until I see it, for myself.")

^ Um ....no.....not really. I'm a 50's baby. Goo goo. Anyway...........

^ Ah, I see. Pardon my ignorance. It's an age thing, and I am standing by that excuse.

Ooooh, I really want to change any of my future plans, for a spring visit to Knott's during this event, and that other kingdom, over there. Instead of the Fall. We've done a lot of September visits in the past. Maybe it's time for a (ahem) Spring Fling one! ^^^ Great TR. Thanks for sharing it all.

^ Just asking, but ... when does a birthday equal being a holiday? I think they'd be more into National/Worldwide Holidays, etc. Hmmm. Maybe an Easter Land, perhaps? Bunnies, bunnies everywhere, Bwah - Ah - Ahhhhh. Or you were kidding all along, darnya!

Now, I'm into this one, now. Such a ch-ch-change, hmm? We're hoping there's a tour of this coming to town, eventually. Insane intelligent score!

This is playing on the radio, in full. With a lot of backstory (past and present) about k.d. and her life thru music. Which I love. Have all her albums and the 'extra stuff' she's sung, thru the years (LIVE concerts, movie scores, etc.). Recently (and sadly), she has stated she is pretty much done with making music. Just wants to enjoy the rest of her life, etc. So, you really can't diss an artist, from wanting that in their life, Yes? No? And we are already really blessed with (currently) so much music from her. P.S. Never say never, ms. lang. Pardon that 'stuff' up in the corner. From The Net. And Bless k.d. I could listen to ALL of her music, over and over, again. Timeless.

Here's one for DCA (sort of) Nostalgia: This was taken on my Sept.2016 trip to the Disney Empire Lands. And West Coast Bash, w/ SF:MM and Knott's, too. Now, does anyone out there have a more recent shot, taken from the same spot? #Justcurious. How time has flown by, hmmm?

Great presentation! And it definitely reminded me of how many kinds of coasters are already out there. Thank you for putting your post together. And I hope you get what you've wished for, too.

That is a lot of rides, there! And that Super Viking! Whoah. I wish ours went that high. And in that last photo ... is that a monorail of some kind running by, there? Just curious. Looking forward to seeing more of those "seaside parks" you have visited.

^ Well I hope that humongous hippo is kept in the new facade. Looks scary and awesome!

City and Colour & Gord Downie "Sleeping Sickness"

^ They're all over Scandinavian parks, too. Seen and been on a few, on my TPR Tours. Future VIKING stuff looks great for Drayton Manor. And yay for keeping Buffalo Coaster! But ..... honestly ..... Walhalla? Valhalla not amused by this. That name sound like Looney Tunes thing. Not good, Wabbit. TPR 2006 Tour - UK - Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Also sound like "Walla Walla" Onion from Wash. state. Djurs Sommerland had one ~ TPR 2014 Scandi Tour.

Wearing green socks, today. And that's the best I got, for now. "Faith and begorr ....... ya know, eh?" ...... and Happy Purim, too!

<sighs> Your sunset shots of everything ('specially those coasters) was top notch! How beautiful everything must have looked to you, when the sun really started setting! Thanks for sharing your (obviously) great visit there, Adam.

Some really great coaster shots you got, there. With or without trains in the shots, heh. Good stuff. And your out-there porch jacuzzi is a nice touch, too.
