^ Well, this is still open (limited), right? And it's a tough one to call, which is more dismal? They both have/had their good (?) points, right? And, its Japan vs. the UK.... hmmm... Nara Dreamland castle. Photo by Michael Libby.

^^ That's all I got. (And THANK YOU dbucknyc, for the video, too!)

We're near the end of our 27th queer film fest, Out On Screen, and I must say, there's been some really terrific movies shown this year. I think the BIGGEST hit so far, has been Grandma starring Lily Tomlin! Great movie and she was wonderful in the lead role. How I plus up my Super Pass, from year to year. (o; Me, my pass and my schedule all worked out, lol. August 13/15. (Thanks Clark for the photos)

^ Ohhhhhh, Phil.

Found this in the recent issue of the HKDL Hong Kong Main Street Gazette... Where "The Golden Mickeys" entry sign used to reside.

^ Oh please somebody, get a video of this in motion!

^ Wow, that's definitely a short class to be happy about!

"Enjoy the rest of your afternoon." And ^^^ I got that shirt too, at TDS back in 2013! Great shirt, always gets second looks from people who notice it, lol.

Ice Mountain Bobsled Enchanted Forest (Turner, Oregon, USA)

^ Got it, the Games Arcade.

Dvergbanen TusenFryd (Vinterbro, Oslo, Norway) A/k/a "Teeny Weeny". Thanks to Divv for the pic.

Just found this, taken of a poster in Amsterdam... I love Coca-Cola!

Awesome photo, Marcus! I love shots of rides reflected on glass or mirrors (or both!), etc. Just curious, but what was the building, Mechanica was reflected, on? Have a good visit in a week, there.

^ Maybe they'll do a World Tour of it! (Except of course, the USA. And France. And Japan. And...) Actually it occurred to me, that this thing could be another version of Burning Man Festival, in it's own artistic hipster way.

Great First Trip Report! And quite a number of really nicely shot ride photos, too. I especially like the one you took of the Round Up. And even if Aftershock wasn't running that day, your night shot of it is really nice. Looking forward to your next TR, when you post one.

A great looking visit to Efteling! Thanks for sharing, and looking forward to more of your trip.

^ Yeah, that occurred to me too. So let's make this, the 1955-58 "pre-Tatterhorn" Dismaland.

Uuhh, where's the coaster? ANY coaster.

Zaturn / ザターン Space World (Yahata Higashi, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, Japan)

^ Great song! And so very very true.

Been awhile, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has heard about (or seen) anything new at TDLR, and the new projects in both parks?

^ And smelled like burning tires in a part of it as well, I remember.

What I found funny about Central Park, was the isolation Diavlo had, up in the mountains, somewhere. Then there was the Rastafarian Shop, selling everything with pot leaves on it, lol. And the flat escalator up the hill (no accompanying music, though). It was a fun park, I remember. Great TR. Looking forward to your take on Nagashima Spaland.

This is the last week, to get any use out of my Playland Season pass, as Saturday The Fair opens. Usually, there are already a few incoming rides already up and we're able to get rides on those, w/o having to wait for the fair. Not this time, it seems. They've gotten wise at the PNE, and every ride already up for the fair is behind fences. Boo. And we still don't get any kind of discount with our pass for a ride pass during the Fair. Double Boo. But here's some "getting ready" shots before Saturday/Opening Day happens... Originally I thought this was for Fright Nights. But not so, I found out! (o; Stay tuned.... Coaster likes to show off what's happened with it in the last 60 years or so... So was this their day off??? Even Buddhist Monks know a good coaster when they see one. And the usual weddings, blah, blah, blah... Vancouver Skyline from the Sky Wheel And... Fenced off rides in back and at the side, not to be ridden till Saturday. )o: Lane where a lot of the pop-up food places go. Several are there already. Where trucks go to socialize and party. The scrambler is "down" they said, but it's a lie! They moved it! Again! Where I hope the future site of the BBQ FEST happens. With four contestants this year! Yumm. Can't wait for this. And the Craft Brew Festival as well. Hope they are close to each other, lol. The nice clean clear view from the SkyWheel. And The Twins looking perky, as always. (o:
