Something I just heard, and remembered... The song "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" has been covered by several successful artists in their own music genre, i.e. Marvin Gaye (the original) Gladys Knight & The Pips Creedence Clearwater Revival! To name a few, I remember.

Yes. Do you enjoy Greek food?

^ Great! There's some overview shots around the castle that are nice to figure out. And that's quite the color for the TRON Coaster outdoor supports. Merci Chris! When I found this untitled photo, I wasn't really sure if this was the actual coaster and it's covering. Turns out, it is! -

^ Agreed. But after that, cover/paint it up! -
Well, the concept art shows two-passenger vehicles. If they stick to this concept, it could decrease the vehicle size, compared to those inflated tires? So the trackless "tracks" might be easier to figure out, with continuous load/unload conveyance as well. I seem to remember seeing a much smaller motion base for Ratatouille in DLPR, than the originals (Hunny Hunt; Aquatopia) in TDLR. This could be possible in a dry space. (Aquatopia - TDS, 2013 TPR Japan Tour)

^ Anyway.... I seemed to have missed the Information Boat - but - did everybody know that Olympic Gold medal winner Bruce Jenner...was transitioning, from male to female? I didn't. Total surprise. Whole family behind her. Mother is especially proud, after all these years.

^ Maybe a HUGE PIECE of that outdoor grass-like....stuff, on the concrete? Patio grass? That stuff in sports fields. ANYTHING but just the concrete! -

Good Eating Outside of Theme Parks
Nrthwnd replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
There's this restaurant, opposite the Burger King, outside of Playland (PNE). Which is actually only a five minute walk away from the park's gates, or an easy stop on a bus going back into town... And everything advertised, outside and on the menu, is under $10!. Cdn! Which includes every possible food, including seafood, meats, salads, sandwiches, burgers, classic favorites, comfort foods, the list goes on and on... I ate there once, and remember having a great meal, though service was a bit slow. Will check this out more, once the park reopens mid-May for it's 2015 Season. Not much help right now, I know. But - eventually.... -

I wonder where they'll put the Tron Coaster, hmmm? Actually, I think the most interested and happy I am, is about the Explorer Canoes of all things!! Because, this hasn't been duplicated since the American parks, and Tokyo Disneyland. I think DLParis did have them in the beginning, then dropped them afterwards. So - this is very cool, and I hope it succeeds. (It's the small things, that Disney does so awesomely.) -
False. I am a Coaster FREEK. Less about the parts of a coaster, and more about The Ride Itself. The person below me, loves water rides of any kind or type.

So it was just released that not only are they planning to do another three Star Wars films, with the first one (7th? 8th?) opening this year. This, and the other two in this series, PLUS two stand alone films (one of which opens next year), makes it now 'possible' that from now until 2019, there will be a Star Wars film released every year...
