Playland/PNE (Vancouver) Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Nrthwnd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Should be awesome. I have never had an "okay" ride on Coaster. In all my years of riding it. Note that the actual beginning of August (1-3) is a holiday weekend for us up here. Could be crowded, especially on the holiday Monday. And it's Pride weekend, so the city will be especially festive. Old photo. Same thrills. (o: -
False. Meow. The person below me loves BBQ.

^ Great! Good to hear that! Of all the woodies I have been on around the world, this will always been one of my absolute favourites. Top 5 easy. So, how was the rest of the park? AtmosFEAR good? BEAST staying awesome? If I ride solo, which they allow before the PNE, I ride it like a buckin' bronco, lol! -

Awesome commercials! I miss Europa Park. -

^ Personally, I would assume that Saturday 'might' be Really Busy at Disneyland, with kids out of school for the weekend (does this happen that way, in Japan schooling?). So, I would go to Tokyo Disneyland on Friday, then Disney Sea on Saturday. For myself.

^ Maybe they should move to Mexico. They have a great Six Flags park in Mexico City.

^ I hope so, too. I'm going back tomorrow (Sunday), so am thinking/hoping the same thing as you. But I am pretty sure they got it all going, yesterday. So, enjoy your day today, at Playland! (It's clear and sunny today with HOT, California-like temps.) "Banana?" More minions from Playland's capsule machine. -
YES! And not toasted, with butter on it, as is. Raw. Do you know your schedule of events, 6 months in advance?

Robb & Elissa in Japan - 2015!
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think that was one of The Most Japanese Awesome Things I had ever seen in Japan. And at first, we didn't realize both were together (literally) in the same water, with no divide! Sea Paradise Park is a really nice park, especially for the marine life parts of it. (EDIT: And Blue Fall.) -

Went to the park this morning, and found that the red Coaster train had stopped "almost" at the bottom of the lift hill! The ride ops were nearby helping those who were in the train. They told me it had to do with a new belt being installed, and tightening having to be done on it, as they went along. But they thought it had all been worked out, until the park opened. And when I left the park about an hour later, the train still hadn't moved. And most of the crowd in the train stayed put. Talk about dedication! In direct (HOT) sunlight, too! And as I left - over forty minutes later - red train still there. With the gp intact. (o; The view's still good from the Wheel. Add to the Coaster and AtmosFEAR probs, Beach Party, Hells Gate AND BreakDance were all down for maintenance. This was NOT the day to be visiting the park, today. Then - other end of the park - AtmosFEAR stops descending! It just sat like this for well over ten minutes. The ride ops smiling at their...situation. Where the tightening and fixing was going on. I did not envy those guys, working on it. What I saw, when I entered the park. -
And if the marijuana laws change (for the better) up here, they might have problems with that, too. By the way, CONGRATULATIONS to everybody involved, for the Supreme Court Decision! (And Seattle's Pride Parade on Sunday is going to be insanely awesome!) And HAPPY PRIDE to all!

Tokyo Disney Resort Discussion Thread

Somehow, I have to figure out quarterly, seasonal visits to this place. And one of the two parks, given over to the Villains??? -
True. The person below me, went jogging today.
