Sorry Bob, I misunderstood your question. What he ^ said. (I also agree, that staying around .90 is ok. And I remember when it was just over .65!)

Hanno's picture of the day
Nrthwnd replied to Hhappy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm pretty sure this one is on my "US Coasters Bucket List" when it was first announced, and then built. I loved the layout and especially that "tower" as part of it. I really hope I get to ride it, in the near future. Thanks for sharing the shots, Hanno! -
Chuck's Shameless Nostalgia TR: TPR's 2006 UK Trip
Nrthwnd replied to cfc's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^ (And yeah, I'm sure there'll be plenty of other times you can make fun...) -
^ Damn, we have to wait over a year, till we get to see the tour. Still - we know it'll be worth it.

Chuck's Shameless Nostalgia TR: TPR's 2006 UK Trip
Nrthwnd replied to cfc's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^ I couldn't even tackle that one. I was so inept, from one foot above the ground I found out, lol. Which now explains why I don't do any ropes course above...one foot level. -
Photo TR: Fuji-Q Highland

^ I agree. And if they cut the "touring route" in half, the Haunted Hospital would still be just as freaky and somewhat intense (we screamed, we ran...) as it is, now. I mean, it takes you well over a 1/2 hour to go through it all. And probably longer, when it's really crowded with groups screaming left, right, and stairs, heh. -

It's looking really nice, there. -
^No, it's just the way of exchange rates. We've been nearly on par with the US dollar for several months, until lately. Hopefully the dip won't go too much farther (I think we are $1.10 to the US $1 now).

omg I just missed National Corn Dog Day... It was yesterday.

It was kind of bizarre seeing CE very many decades later, at Tokyo Disneyland - once - one with others in the 2011 tour, and last year, my partner David relived it all, (with Neil I think) in that tour. I managed to find something else to amuse myself. We saw it together back in March of 1987 at the Imagination pavilion, EPCOT. This was retro, and quite icky with plot and lines, but still. At the time, it was a great fun addition to the US Disney parks.

Kolmården Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is for a family to ride, right? And how young is the "youngest" (read: height) in that family? So, what's possible with this guideline? No inversions. No huge long drops. And yet...fire? And maybe themeing with a "saw mill"? I'm done. Will wait for the announcement. -
The Official TPR Video Thread!
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Going backwards on any coaster is not as enjoyable for me as it used to be, before "Temple of Peril - Backwards!" at Disney Paris did me in. But - this looked pretty good, on the video. Not too much shaking, and Robb didn't seem to owowowowow too much. lol. -
Disneyland Paris (DLP) Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Although I always enjoyed the France film that played in it's pavilion, it's possible to think that maybe Ratatouille could be fit there in back, behind Eiffel. And replace the film, although like I said, have always enjoyed it and it's score. The new photos here and at that link are great, by the way. Thanks for sharing it. -

DLPR.com just posted a few days ago, the new re-branding of the Ratatouille Ride. Oops, I mean Adventure. Seems the word "ride" still doesn't translate into or out of French very well. Mais oui. It sucks. So. now it's an Adventure we're taking with Remi and his pals, through the kitchen all around and through Gusteau's. With smells from the kitchen, it just might happen! The Ride = The Adventure. "It's a rat's life, after all." (Thanks DLPRTODAY.com for the posted photo)
