Tusenfryd Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Shadowforce's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, it's either Thunder Coaster and/or Speed Monster, for myself. Then, I am content. -
...with a salad.

Avengers: Age of Ultron Busy, busy, busy, BUSY movie! That and throwing in a whole new set of Avengers.02... impressed, and exhausted when it all ended. And even if it's only his voice, James Spader always makes a very nice, intelligent, villain. Enjoyable, but not enough to sit through it a second (or more) time. 7/10 SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT - Nice touch at the end, in credits, as to what happened to Hulk. We think. But......... purple? Hmmm...

Deal! And ejot^ thanks for the 'awesome' comment. I thought of bringing something "cloakish" along as well, but decided you only had several seconds to get at least one good photo, with a lineup waiting. So I just went with "looking it" and Thanks the Beings that Be, the lighting (and my friend taking the pic) made this a pretty good shot. Even with the wrinkled shorts, the tank top, and an uneven tan, LOL. And I am already "Wanted," in Tusenfryd Park! (TPR 2014 Scandi Tour) Maybe this could be a tie-in to the new park?

Overcast skies, cool temp, no rain. It's nice out. -
I'm just going through all the information about the recent floods, and the victims caught up in it.

Playland/PNE (Vancouver) Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Nrthwnd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Yes, and it still mystifies me, how they didn't PR this unique part of the ride. To the best of my knowledge, this was A First for the company making the XXL. And Playland didn't do anything (PR) about it... But still - having this awesome flat is still pretty cool for the park. EDIT to Add: Actually, I was wondering. Has anybody out there, been on any kind of a pendulum flat ride, that has this seating configuration? (facing out; in; out; in) I haven't. Till The Beast. Curious to know. -

Tayto Park Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^^^ It looks lovely from above. -
Hey - put me in for a "mute" Viking character in the park! (I will learn Norwegian as I go along...) Art concepts look great. And I thought I saw a 3rd smaller coaster at the bottom of the "aerial map" of the park, a page back. Hey - I'm Game of Thrones-ready for being in a Viking park! (PNE GoT Exhibition, Aug.2014)

News of the Day! We figured it out! Thanks to a Google search, we found a solution. In Mozilla Firefox (where we had the problem), go to the menu button (upper right), click on MENU. When it opens, click on ADD-ONS, then on the left, click on PLUG-INS. Then, select from the list, SHOCKWAVE FLASH PLAYER. When it opens, un-check "Enable Adobe Flash Protected Mode." Then, close Mozilla, then re-open it. This solved The Problem. The Google search response said... Protected Mode can cause playback problems, but don't de-activate it, if you don't have problems.

I have a new computer, Windows 7, and now all videos (including mine)on Coaster Tube come up with a "Flash Player Crash". I've gone to YouTube and none of those videos crashed. Our tech person says the problem "must be on the website," since the videos on YouTube, work. Does anyone have any ideas fixing this? Thanks in advance.

Tokyo Disney Resort Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ They ran out of money? (then) I always remembered that the dash to the top of the hill, was thrilling in itself, in darkness, without having any projections being used. That said, a final visual surprise, maybe to the left or right (or above?) of the tunnel opening would be a great finish - and then the air time! Of course the vehicle roof itself may be the cause of not doing anything extra with the hill and tunnel. -

I decided to get a little "artsy" with the Playland(PNE) logo, as the park's now open for it's 2015 Season. Kept here for "posterity," when I change it...again. (o;

Playland/PNE (Vancouver) Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Nrthwnd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Well, this actually was the Very First Time I had any problem with any ride's restraints. It really shocked me. I did realize, I might have to get off, and not be able to ride it at all... or that day, heh. Next time I try, sitting facing inside, we shall see. -
