Drop Towers On Buildings?
Nrthwnd replied to canadianparkfan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Certainly not as tall as a lot of buildings, the former Sears Tower in Vancouver, would be nice for a drop tower.... -
Shanghai Disney Resort Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Dr Freeze's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I went digging around, on the Chinese language part of the Shanghai Disneyland site, and found a few photos not posted here, mixed with a couple that have been posted before.... The model of the "mystery creature" is in the top pic, while a (full sized?) model of one of the rafts is below. Dumbo, which will be in the front gardens area, in front of the castle. In the top model pic, you can make out the area that the Voyage to the Crystal Grotto, takes up. While the bottom photo shows the show building (left) for the rapids ride, and the show building (centre) for the Soaring attraction. To the right of that are the probable show buildings for Treasure Cove (stunt show and PoTC ride). Not sure where these will go, but they seem (to me) to be either part of the Fantasyland attractions, or Treasure Cove ....or both! (o; -

I love the fact, that half the fun about Japanese products, is the packaging itself. But seriously? This luggage does laundry?... Very cool! If it's really what it is, lol. -

First it was schools. Now it's theaters that get shot up from time to time. Disgusting morons.

Totally agree with this. Or - you probably can raise your hands with no problem, but it looks intimidating enough, not to. -

I just found concept art of Voyage to The Crystal Grotto boat ride! It was included with other artwork, we've already seen here in the thread. But this is definitely something I hadn't seen before. It's courtesy of Disney Insider. The boats look pretty big, too. -
That sausage platter makes me go mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Marcel, did the monorail still tip and tilt at various points of it's route? When I rode it, I thought the thing was about to fall off it's rail! And did you get a chance to take care of your tired feet, in their Foot Pond? Or was it not there, anymore? It looked like Miso Soup to me, lol. Great park, with more colours than I ever imagined, everywhere. Great shots that you took of Nasu Highland! Thanks for sharing them. Big Mike in the Foot Pond at Nasu Highland. TPR 2011 Japan Tour. -
No. Do you have a front and/or back yard where you live?

Grrr. Told a friend to call me in the early afternoon so we can get together later. So - when I am out, doing errands and stuff in the morning, naturally he calls me around 10 am, leaves a message like "well, since you're not there, I'll call later...". And then he doesn't call back till muuuch later than I expected, mid-late afternoon. What didn't he understand about my asking him to call in the afternoon? And if he was going to be late in calling me, why didn't he say that on the machine? And in the end, it was too late for us to get together, by the time he called. I just don't get human memory, some times.

No, because I do not have a cell phone. Do you know what croquet is all about?

Love that launch - the whole thing! Another reason to get to this park, eventually. -
Actually, most of the wooden rails around Coaster at Playland, on the left side, can be touched, if you reach over far enough. I usually do a "good luck" thing by knocking three times on the railing going up the lift hill. I'm so used to doing it now, I'd be surprised if I didn't do it, on a ride. P.S. I don't question it - I just go with it. Below the last train row, on the left, where I do my knockin'.
