^ It seems to me, that the gp have been going nuts, not having their theme park fix, etc. And once an opening schedule is offered, they buy it, in droves. i.e They go nuts. And of course, the company offering it, can pare down what it's offering, to "just the basics." Sad, but true. Eventually, the companies may have to pony up more perks as a lot of the theme park world, goes 'normal' (whatever that will be). And Knott's thankfully decided to choose the other route. That being, offer a lot of stuff, decorations, events, entertainment, etc.

^ I've actually had that happen to me, in a way. I would notice certain people in the park crowd (a single person, a couple, or a family, etc.) .... then constantly see them/run into them, wherever I was in the park! And some times, even seeing them in the same queue I was in! Freeky. Awesome TR Andy, especially those night shots!

Thanks for all this great coverage, Robb! So much appreciated, as I am (gulp) "one of those" who doesn't do any social sites. This is great and there appears to be a lot happening for 2021's seasons of all the world's parks. Now, I need a BIG lottery win, lol!

^ Uh. Pass.

FYI - the Paratrooper used to be built and actually run that way .... already up and tilted. We had one of those during our earlier PNE Fairs, and the load/unload was just that. One at a time, then run a full cycle. Same as a ferris wheel is run, really. Then, somebody finally figured out how to load/unload it un-tilted. Just like an Enterprise.

^ If we ever get over there, I wasn't sure whether I'd skip that coaster, or not. But ..... At my age, I have become a passionate whore for "some" coaster credits. Go figure.

In the top left corner of the first art concept above, you can see coaster track, sort of. So, that makes me think that Gadget's Go-Coaster will survive the renovation of ToonTown. Only it may be re-themed to a different Disney character, like one of the Mickey Mouse gang. Hmm. Maybe this will become a "Chip & Dale" themed coaster! How about that, Elissa?

Some GP are going to think that the coaster's name is a mis-print. On first seeing it. I immediately thought that, on first seeing the name of it. "Not Air Force?" I said to myself. Well, whatever it's named.... and kudos to the park for naming it after someone they appreciated..... Hope it's a success for the park.

^ Now, that's the way I like my queues! And thanks for the Xcelerator shots, too.

Last Wednesday, I started my Fave List of Via Tevere's Pizzas, starting with the prosciutto and mushroom one. Red sauce base. Still awesomely good! https://viateverepizzeria.com/ But first, before I left the house, this guy was setting up video shots with the old Bakery Sign as background. I need to remind myself to take a shot of that. Haven't posted one here, that I remember. It turned out he was taping his Roomba (?) Lesson to post on his 'site' I supposed. Nightfall coming faster these days. The clouds darken, and start to converge. A reminder of what I was getting. Gotta love that "prosciutto e funghi!" With the front patio removed off the street, it's still wierd to see a car actually parked in front of the place. It's here! Along with a can (and eventually two) of my lager of choice. Mill Stream Organic. And it did turn dark as I was leaving the restaurant. Signs of winter time, coming soon.

Damn, it's getting dark pretty early, now. Full darkness, just before 5pm, here where we are. My 4pm pizza meal on Wednesdays will look decidedly different from my inside table viewpoint.

Gold Rush / ゴールドラッシュ Kijima Kogen (Beppu, Ōita, Japan) It was my #200 Coaster! And a wierd running coaster at that. On the 2007 TPR Japan Tour.

Now running in London. It opened (and got put "on hold") just as theatres around the world were shutting down, due to you-know-what. But it's running again, AND there's to be a cast recording of it, to be released next Spring. And .... I would kill to see how they do "the car" onstage, etc. The musical "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" had the same thing to deal with. A car that can fly onstage. And.... it did!

^ Well, that was all wrong. Apparently some Fan's doing. But .... The new Adele album, 30, comes out next weekend. Which then made me think.... Maybe for her next album, she calls it No Age Required. (Just a suggestion, Adele. Looking forward to this new one.)

^ Ditto. What he said. Speaking of the Antique Cars .... Bert, watch where you're going!!! June 05, 2017. After CoasterMANIA! weekend.

^ Soooo, did you try one of the happy, happy, joy, joy .....s? I think I would go for the Margarita mix, myself.

Two shoes, One left one, one right one, usually works for me.

^ Heh, heh. We like to use November as the "In between time" of that and ...that. <jingle>

Great photos and TR, Bert! And that one cocktail .... "Drown The Clown" ...... I laughed out loud, when I first saw that one.

Another parking lot coaster, perhaps? EDIT To Add: Also, it would be absolutely awesome if any park that had such a coaster (Hey SF:MM, looking at you) that stretches over a parking lot, hire an artist or artists together, to paint and create a 3D "painting" under the coaster. With water proof paint, of course! I really think there could and would some very trippy images the riders would catch a glimpse of, as they roar by ... or into, heh. And call it The World's First ART-Coaster. Just a thought. (Exhales....)

For those who don't know yet... and are planning to see Eternals .... With NO SPOILER ALERT here, there are two more scenes during credits. One in the middle of, and one at the end of. We're seeing it Thursday, so I was happy to find that out ahead of time, rather than playing a guessing game about it.

^ TPR usually gets to it, and provides tons of great coverage of the event and what's new and going on, etc.

^ Um ..... actually ...... Nov.12th is the Friday. Veterans Day is on Thursday/11th. They got the day wrong, looks like.
