    Well ...... gosh darn it! An email arrived today from Playland(PNE) with the following.... Hmmmph. But, what can one do, right? I got my tickets for free, so I am assuming they won't be contacting me. But you never know, hmm? So, we wait and hold on until after our May long weekend (Victoria Day Wknd, May 22-24, always a week before Memorial Day Wknd). Photo from the PNE.

    Big One had a Lifthill 'Pause' earlier today. Riders were led down the stairwell beside the track. Ick. Not a situation I'd like to be in. Made the news, of course. Hope everybody was okay, etc. Photo from the web.

    ^^ It's for California residents ONLY at this time. Period. If she's from Arizona ...... well, isn't it obvious she shouldn't go? I do not understand why someone would even ask about non-residents getting in, at this time. Or cheating to get in, too.

    Since MONSTER is up and running (and running and running and running...) I thought I'd post this past construction poster that I've had on file. It certainly works for me, as I've always loved European artwork when it comes to advertising coasters and parks and events. This is no exception. Not quite sure is this was for actual Tivoli itself, or Grona Lund. No matter .....

    Some times, with the best intentions, it pays to wait a bit.

    I can just see one of these parks going for the "Most Statues of Super Heroes in A Theme Park" Award, hee hee. And of course, use that info. in future publicity, lol. Of course I remember "One of The Tallest Statues in A Park" ... Zeus in Parc Asterix. And then there is A LOT of Gi-normous ones in a lot of China franchise parks ... ....... and Speaking of China ........ me and my buddies. TPR 2012 China Tour.

    May the best actors - film - director - writer(s) - Production Everything - win at this evening's Oscars broadcast. On second thought ..... howsabout everybody just have a great time, and be in the moment of The Event, no matter who 'wins'?

    Raining this weekend, after a really warm sunny Spring couple of weeks. Supposed to rain thru this week. Stopping (hopefully) before Playland(PNE) opens for it's 2021 Season this coming weekend.

    ^ I do hope to, thanks! Like I said, even I don't ride anything the first day it's open (hah!). But, there's 'word' that they're going to also open some of The Arcade this season, which is awesome! Last year, when Covid started hitting the world, Playland didn't open it's Arcade at all for the entire year. Well, except for a couple of games during Fright Nights. But not like it usually does. So this is GREAT if they do it, if only for a few games. I miss the Quarters Arcade! Where you win tickets for chi-chi prizes! My 2019 prizes from the Quarter Arcades.

    I got my 1st vaccine shot, a week ago! And they gave me a sticker! ...... "So exciting!" *** *** As our Prime Minister (sort of) said, when him & wife got theirs.

    We have a Pizzeria a street over from us, which doesn't take reservations, and for now, is only handling Take Out/Food Courier Pickup or "Patio Dining" which is two tables in front of the place, lol. But for people picking up pizzas, we always have a few....uh.... unusual, different, or very $$$$ cars parking near our house. The other day we had a Mercedes Benz SPYDER parked illegally right beside a fire hydrant. Idiot. Then, we got this one stopping by for a pizza fix yesterday. It's actually a pretty good paint job, when you look at the entire car ......van? And ...... Rasta does rhyme with Pasta, doesn't it? (hee hee)

    I FINALLY got my first two tickets to Playland(PNE), which opens the first weekend of May! I have to go thru TicketLeader for each and every single day admission to the park <sighs>, and have to use a Code they emailed me for future use .... but hey, I got not much else to do right now, and it is only open weekends in May. But, as a Season Pass Holder from last year, I essentially get all the visits I want to the park w/o having to pay a single nickle (we don't have pennies any more, lol) for the tickets. I hope. Otherwise, I just can't wait to even stroll thru the park, w/o having to ride anything!

    Yah, sure. 😋 Well ..... maybe a ride (or three?) on Coaster, at least....

    One paper "ticket" for each day. Maybe next time, I can print them back-to-back? Hmmmm.

    Woo Hoo! Finally got my 2020 Season Pass Holder Code for ordering tickets to Playland. And .... since the place is only open weekends for May, I got myself day passes for the entire Opening Weekend! Damn, I just realized, I haven't been back there since mid-October, at a (what I called) "Fright Night ... Lite", heh. I feel so much better now, now that I have in-my-hands tickets for Opening Weekend... both days! For those who don't know, we don't have cell phones <shock> at all. Still on a land line, so printed paper tix have to do. But you know, it is really nice, to hold on to something actually tangible (look it up), to carry around, etc. Instead of on a cellphone.

    Been awhile, but honestly, I think the one that always melts in my mouth ..... the French Cruller. I just love them, even though they are fairly light and 'airy', and not as "thick" as other donuts are.

    ...or with one of the other inhabitants of the Zoo/Farm... But Samson is the headliner, to be sure. Take your pick - back view or front view! June 2, 2017.

    Ha! When I first saw the art concept, I immediately thought of the St.Louis Arch. In three pieces, lol.

    Damn, I love those retro handheld cameras, LOL! Nothing beats the jiggle.
  22. Nrthwnd
    Fixed. And thanks all for the info. on it.

    T2 was My First SLC to ride, as well as it was The First SLC of it's kind in the USA. And it was all gloriously red. That said ----- Ouch? Great shots, Hanno.

    Well, that would certainly make me want to visit California parks, if I lived outside the state. Not. Even if I was vaccinated, myself. And I did get my shot. And I have a card that says so.
  25. Nrthwnd
    Okay. Eight years ago. A woman fell out of a coaster. I understand. But what does (what thrillseeker4552 posted) NTAG stand for? Sorry, but nothing I read in that link, alluded to this abbreviation. So ..... ? Thanks in advance.
