A Theme Park Coaster Shirt A Day!
Nrthwnd replied to milst1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Very nice colors in this one. And it's not a black t-shirt, either! -
What happened with Big Fish? I just got the cd of the musical and it's wonderful! Norbert Leo Butz has never been better, and the whole musical sounds great. Wha' happened? Trouble with the book, or something else? (It closed at the end of last year.) It's really a wonderful score, by Andrew Lippa.

Walt Disney World Epcot Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Oh I agree on that, with most of the DIsney World food places. Mostly all awesome. Where is that buffet by the way? I forget and am too lazy to look at WDW Guide, lol. But I think it's the extra booths and nationalities at EPCOT events, that makes it more interesting, not to mention mouth watering at times. -
Walt Disney World Epcot Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
EPCOT seems to have the best food anywhere on the Disney site, (IMhO) whether it's this event or the Food & Wine event in the fall. And in great tapas sized portions and prices too! Must get there some year. -

This is looking crazier and crazier. In an AWESOME way, lol! Late June can't come any sooner, for the TPR Tour to ride this. -

Chuck's Shameless Nostalgia TR: TPR's 2006 UK Trip
Nrthwnd replied to cfc's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Apocalypse was amazing. But I know it was ever more awesome, doing it with others like yourself Chuck. Solo riding is so...meh. I can do it now, like I do at Playland on Hellevator. But still, doing it on the tours with others, is so much more fun. So this one (My Very First, that's why I was nervous, lol), and the one at Southport (that one I got to share with Ryan) are still warmly remembered. Sharing my "first time" on this kind of tower ride with Ryan, at Southport. (Thanks for the photo, Robb) -

Wow, that was so impressive to get hit with, LOL! I am in awe, man. Excellent hobby you have there. And I love RED, so that was a Big PLUS in my books, heh. -
Hello Kitty Theme Park China 2014
Nrthwnd replied to Coastin Eric's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
As bizarre as Harmonyland felt to me, it was still fun, we got a couple of credits in, and there was that Anti-IASM down below on it's own level, and that (some times) Crazed Runaway train to get to it and back up to the park's main level! The China one sounds like it'll be fun, too. Definitely for 2016, if possible. Harmonyland, Japan - 2007. Me, shamelessly, on what I call a "Pega-Corn". With Hello Kitty! And in this photo, before everybody takes "That Boat Cruise", there is One Absolutely THRILLED To Be There, Hello Ki...uh...HarmonyLand Lover! (o; -
Hilarious. There's a twitter account of the mashup-crashup name Travolta read on the Oscars. Of that name. And it already has 20,000 'likes'. Bizarre.

A Theme Park Coaster Shirt A Day!
Nrthwnd replied to milst1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I love character or mascot t-shirts in these countries, that I have absolutely NO idea about what/who they are, lol. Gotta love that, from these parks. It's a nice one, Martin. -
I agree totally with this. First, I hope someone clued Travolta in, and he later apologized profusely to Idina for his mistake (hey ya never know). Bought her drinks or something. And she probably had to jet back to New York, for If/Then readying to open. Second, they truncated "Let it Go"! So I didn't get/feel the buildup as nicely as it goes, in it's original form. And I missed the total song. Did they truncate 'Full Moon" from Her? Didn't sound like it. Third, that it sounded to me like idina was literally shouting over the orchestra. And that last note did wobble, and she even slipped a wee bit on that last iconic line. But I have no argument with the way she powered through it. And considering she just heard her name said WRONG, and she was to remember/sing a shortened version of this song, Power To The Lady! And we were thrilled when she got a standing O. The backdrop was lovely. U2 just blew me away how strong and focused this number was. I had heard some of it before, but not in it's entirely. Wow. It was amazing to watch and hear this. And Ellen did fine. I think the group twitter thing was outrageous. And I think somebody, maybe Mr.Spacey, should have gotten Ms.Liza up on their shoulders for that group pic. Poor Liza. Got stuck in the back, behind everybody. )o: I enjoyed the show, for the most part. Did notice the speeches were not out-vamped like they usually get after 30 seconds, lol. And yeah, really long, most of them. Enjoyed the Lopez' the best.

Chuck's Shameless Nostalgia TR: TPR's 2006 UK Trip
Nrthwnd replied to cfc's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^ Sad. I had the (I-think-it's) chicken burger. Took for - e - ver. And ended up being a flat ovalish patty (pattie?) on a white bun. Condiments were not worth getting. Yum. -

Food was definitely not Drayton's strength, although they were probably a bit better than Lightwater Valley in that regard. Shudders at memories of both visits to LV. Food didn't change one bit. Ugh. -
The Official TPR Video Thread!
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The loading station and the pat down which led to the eventual lockers to put everything, from loose change, to a rubber band, true! That was memorable, without even riding the coaster, lol. -
As of right now. That's a lot of threes!

If given the choice, I would drink Dr.Pepper over Coke, any old day. I just like it better than Coke. -

^^^ Honestly, when I read your post I thought, "That's it. He's the winner of The Longest Time for A Package..." (It used to be from the US to Canada was pretty long, but now you have definitely won the crown, lol!)
