This sounds like a lost cause. Just saying.

^ Really enjoyed Nightmare, as it was such a unique indoor ride. And there's not many of these in the world, from what I've seen. I knew about the ride setup itself, for several months, but I never thought I would ever ride one. Which made it extra cool, at Tusenfryd! Loopen, and what used to be Nightmare. TPR 2014 Scandi Tour.

^ Thanks Bert! But honest .... I'm not "quite there" yet. Almost, at 69, hee hee.

Well, today is The Day I advance a year. So be it. It's even making me post in the wrong thread! (See Fave TV Series) But I wish lots of happiness and best wishes to all who share this birthday with me ....... and thereabouts. Best to all, who enjoy getting older, year after year (ha!).

Oops. I did a boo boo. Wrong thread. Silly old bear.

^ Where is The Dungeon walk-thru located, in the park? And is the Firehouse still the same indoor attraction it was, before? I've been there twice and pretty much know most of the layout over that mountain! Including (ugh) Loopen. Even with the new changes and additions since my last visit there (2014). Back then - this caught my eye at Tusenfryd. Then, I laughed out loud, when I saw you could charge your 25 kr on credit, LOL.

^ Man, that is a - lot - of colors there! Almost too much visually, for myself. Rainbow Overload! But that's ok. The kids will love it all! The upper courtyard area looks cool. Cafe looks awesome ...... Buffet! By the by, does this hotel have a pool/spa/fitness gym of some kind/shape/size here? I'm just curious, thanks. (If it was in the video, then "as old as I am" .... I missed it. And that's my excuse.)

"Just Found Out:" I'm in two A&W burger commercials, right now! In Western Canada. And since the first broadcast week has past, suddenly "Didn't I see you?"s come from out of the woodwork, locally. Much fun. And still a week to go, before the 2-ad campaign ends. EDIT To Add: (as of May 8th): My income tax return, got me nearly $40 MORE than I had calculated, and submitted. Woo Hoo! Add to that, that 'they' (A&W) paid me another rather large amount (to me) of $ late April, as a 'buyout' thing, I learned. I was shocked, then immediately overjoyed. Now, I am happy to report, my two credit cards will nearly be almost 'nil,' by the time summer comes around. Happy Happy Joy Joy!

omgomgomgomgomgomg! Me and David just found out, on tv, that A&W has released a second 15+ second spot for the Teen Burger ad! (Which ends April 3.) And I'm in that one, too! Cool. Will post it as soon as I can find it. Or if somebody else, locally, sees it .....? And just earlier today, I showed David the first (of the two) commercial I was in! We hadn't seen it on tv, to this date, so I figured enough time had gone by, etc. So seeing this second one together, was extra cool!

Our final meal/dinner at Cafe Mickey's was fun, I remember. Sorry to see it go. Me and The Mouse at Cafe Mickey's. End of the TPR 2008 Europe Tour. Me and The Alvey Family at Mickey's. Which includes a very impressionable 1 year old.

^ Speaking of 'obelisks' ...... Oakwood Park, Wales. TPR 2010 UK/Europe Tour.

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.
