^ Well, DLPR's birthday is April 12th. And Disneyland's is July 17th. I think Disney Paris' date will continue to change, for awhile. Disneyland has a good chance at least, of re-opening around it's July birthday. Or sooner..... Or later. My RETRO DLPR: Me and The Mountain, mid-Sept. 2002, DLP's 10th Birthday Year. Mountain got a reno & re-paint, later on. And the new Studios' (then) "Half-Day Park" (truth!) was only six - months - old. Rock 'n Roller was good back then, I remember. ...and Thank You DLP-Report for posting this! I love this entire 'cloaking' of the DLP Castle! Awesome way to do renovation! Hope somebody's collecting all these "Castle/Park Scrims" pix somewhere... What they did with Phantom Manor, during it's (then) lengthy rehab. Bizarre looking stuff, huh? And I love the reflection of 'it' in the waterway.

The Jungle Cruise re-do looks and sounds great! "Ultimately, the jungle gets the last laugh." Love that statement.

^ Cool. I looked in a few back pages to figure it out, then looked up the name (found out it's a God of some origin), but still no mention of the coaster. At least what I couldn't find. Thanks for the info.

So, what is this Toutatis, that's not going to be there until 2023?

^ I believe you're asking about the shuttle loop coaster in Beijing Shijingshan Park? I was in the first group that rode it (TPR 2012 China Tour). And when we fiiiinnnnally got to the top of that loop, we could hear a KERCHUNK! Which apparently meant "a few" of the wheels on the train literally separated from the track! And when I took this photo of it below, you could easily hear the CLUNK from that distance as well. Pretty unsettling sound and experience. But of course, we rode it anyway, LOL! EDIT to add: This was one of those shuttle loops, that had the train being pulled backwards up an (eventual) inclined piece of track. Then it was released. we raced thru the station, into the loop and then KERCHUNK. Right about "there" is that sound. (Pardon the sidebar.)

Happy Robbie Burns Day! Now go find yourself some Haggis!

Can't do it but I hope that everybody who does enter, will have a great time, and may the best TPR Trivia Geek win!

^ Very nice. And what's that one in the bottom left corner? With the coaster, the ferris wheel and the train going around on it?

^ Wow. Awesome score! You do indeed have some amazing friends, Bert! Enjoy, Enjoy!

"Call Me, Maybe" Carly Rae Jepsen I remember this playing, while a bunch of us were being thrown around, on a Tagada ride, in China! TPR 2012 China/Hong Kong Tour.

^ That was fun to watch!

^^ Wow! What a wonderful video! I loved the pacing, the music... and damn those workers are heroes to me, lol! It was a nice, more seductive pace and sound, than the usual cacophony of LOUD NOISE and LOUD MUSIC in a lot of construction videos. (Not that there's anything really wrong with LOUD NOISE and LOUD MUSIC in a construction video.) A beautiful video I would easily watch again.

Our end of the block is (are?) keeping the lights up, for the time being. A bit of flash & colour during this current winter time.

New construction photos posted by @Uminey_Umiumi, Arigato! Arendelle's North Mountain. Photos taken from the Monorail, I believe. Backs of The Volcanic Mountains that are to be part of..... TDS' Neverland!

Baseball legend, Hank Aaron. RIP

It's an immediate, screaming, adrenaline rush (for me) as you're catapulted out of the station, towards the loop. Then, after going backwards through the loop, it's speeding backwards through the station, towards that spike. And it's all over in what.... 30 seconds or so? Just love it.

^ & ^^ Nope. It was just my first reaction. Guess that was waaaaaay more than they should be asking, huh?

1.6 million for a park? Isn't that kind of.... cheap for a park? Any park?

That's too bad, extending the closure. But when all is said and done, it's all for the best, to eventually beat this thing, right? (And we're still hoping for a September 2022 visit, along with Walibi Holland)

Guess what today is? January 17 – National Hot Buttered Rum Day Yum!

Just spent over $40 cdn ($33 U.S.) online for some French Pastries to be delivered to us on Tuesday morning. C'est magnifique! https://www.merciboulangerie.com/

^ Yes! Completely! The show was really cool, as they threw in little trivia bits about types of LEGO, and how some structures could (or couldn't) be put together. We found it interesting, especially with what the teams came up with, thru the series. Looking forward to Season 2! P.S. Love the idea of the shade structure over Miniland!
