Late June can't get here fast enough! Thanks for all the updates and awesome photos, Peter and everybody.

^ "Why is it going so slow?" ^^ That's the difference. The one in China goes without much braking. So it goes much faster, then. Sorry I didn't get to ride this one. And compare notes, lol.

Pack

Of the four parks we visited last year, I think my fave was La Feria park. Built on levels, which helps with exercise, and some neat rides to go on, and as well a good coaster selection. And friendly clowns! I would actually choose it over Six Flags Mexico, just because it feels like such a "friendly local park" with everybody there. Speaking of friendly clowns - here's Marvin and me! A sweet guy he was.

^^ Really. That was a very funny episode for MF. Especially those young rascals, lol ARROW SPOILER ALERT! ^ Yeah, I mean WTF! And practically everybody is finding out about who Arrow is, now. In hindsight, if one of them was going to be killed, the mother was definitely it, to go. But by sword. Nice touch, Slade. I smell a shark jumping, coming up soon. And I am hoping otherwise, for a good twist up.

Hmmm. And then there was that RED BUTTON thing... Oops. Sorry. Wrong retro tour.

Still BURGERS from me. I mean, burritos just can't compare...

"There's A Fine Fine Line" original Broadway cast of AVENUE Q

A Feather's Not A Bird - Roseanne Cash

Yay! Thanks for the mention of our great coaster! I have no idea what my "top coaster" would be for each decade, but Coaster at Playland (PNE) certainly fits in here. And still does, even after the 1950's!

^^^ I had all this stress built up in me about riding this thing back in 2010 (TPR Europe Tour), and then........ BO - RING. Totally shocked at how 'meh' it was. There's no love loss from me, about the sale.

Paris I love the architecture, and the food ain't too bad, either!

^ For myself, I still think that because it's enclosed, Mindbender feels the most intense to me. Not just the speed and loops, but the sound is intensified as well, and that makes it pretty omg awesome to ride!

"Hot Tonight" Tokyo Police Club

Just hearing this on our national radio, CBC Radio 2.... "We Exist" - Arcade Fire And this song is about a gay kid, telling his dad he wants to be treated equal. I did not know this. Good for the band!

"We Exist" - Arcade Fire (And this song is about a gay kid, telling his dad he wants to be treated equal.)

^ Seriously, a four day pass would be the best way to enjoy the two parks, in the best way possible. (Or a two-day pass, one day for each park.)

^ This looks great! And yes, I hope things improve for Walygator Parc. So much space and potential there, that was literally falling apart, when we (TPR) were there in 2008. And then there was Anaconda....

Design the rides. And let me get out my (several) large envelopes with notes, drawings, attraction blue sky ideas to show you...

Seriously, I think I'm more excited about the coaster train, than the coaster layout!

Happy Earth Day! to those who celebrate it.* *And here's to me and my David's xox 42nd Anniversary too! This same day! Awesome!

^ I find it amazing, when I see that lift hill, and know that one of those motion based, video game guns, ride vehicle (from a previous video) ... will be on that hill.

Just watched the first episode of the new series SALEM Very intense pilot, and some nice freeky plot twists, too. And when that poor possessed girl was sent 'looking' for the witch... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Great shivers. Lead actor is like other recent scruffy hotties, i.e Hook (OUaT), Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow). And this one looks like an older darker version of Bo Dice, formerly of American Idol fame! I enjoyed the first episode. Looking forward to more Lead in SALEM looks like this guy - only older - and much darker.

Bored today. But still content where I am, at present.

Congrats on #1100, Martin! And Enchanted Forest is a great little park. Did they still have the Dancing Waters running there? Continuous and fun, in it's own way. And I always thought the Haunted House walk-thru was one of the best in any park.
