Oooooooooooo.

This is random enough. I find it odd, to see a teenager, creating a Bucket List. I mean, wasn't that to be done when we were in our 50s or 60s? When we were at that age? I certainly never had one, in my teens. Ah progress...

Clocks - Coldplay

AHA!

Too much of a good thing(s) I'd say.

Other than where it's located in the park, and it's peculiar attraction still with some gp, I could definitely see them gutting the X:/No Way Out (or however it goes) building, for an Angry Birds indoor ride. Maybe even an indoor wooden coaster, hmm?

Another one I just heard about on the radio. BRAZIL is seeing current temperatures up to.... 49' Celcius.

I will repeat by saying, everybody needs to get over to Bakken in Denmark and ride Tornado. Of all the coasters, big and small I have been on, this coaster just shocks you how fast you go up it's lift hill - and then that "gunshot launch" at the top.... amazing. Short lift hill, but very effective.

Is this only in the Anaheim and Orlando parks you're talking about? Even Disney Paris has good food, as well as the Asian parks.

There will (possibly/probably) be another TPR China/Hong Kong Tour planned for 2016*, so start saving up now! You won't regret it. TPR Tours are a great way to see other parks and countries. *(And Shanghai Disneyland will also be open -hopefully- by then, woo hoo!) And this is to be built there in HKDL too. But not finished until after 2016, I believe.

One Hundred Years of the PNE...and Playland 2010 was a special year for my home park, Playland. It is part of a larger property, which annually hosts one of the biggest fairs in Canada - The Pacific National Exhibition, or The PNE. And the fair by then had put in 100 years of operation. So t-shirts were made, a celebratory historical book was published...and yes, mugs were made, too. In two colours, red and blue. I only got the red one, because red is my favourite colour. The design is only on one side of the mug. Nothing on the bottom, either. And nothing inside. Still, it's a nice shape, and I like how the red colour is used in the design of it. 100 Years of Fun - the history of PNE, and Playland, too. Lots of pix in it, trivia, and such. Like when Elvis played there - and The Beatles.

I must have gone on the GG Mine Cars over a dozen times, I enjoyed it so much. And HKDL to me, is like the "baby" of the Magic Kingdom Family. But it has so much space and potential for new attractions and technology, it's just getting started. Too bad your girlfriend didn't want to do Mine Cars. I think she would have actually enjoyed it, although it is to everyone's tastes and comfort zone, hmm? Thanks for sharing your visit there. And yes, the Corner Cafe has awesome food!

Mmm Tuesday is Church's Chicken night!

Tornado at Bakken was a total surprise to pretty much everybody on the 2009 Scandi Tour. The top of the lift hill, was like... you were going fast enough up the hill, then came an instant launch at the top. Can't wait to ride it again in June.

MMmm mega lites. Can't beat 'em. This one and Piraten are my two faves. And Piraten is in the upcoming Scandi Tour!

And beer! Gotta have beer, too! We could have stayed at the Bier Garten a little bit more (MORE MEAT). We still had about 20 minutes left of our 100. But we (burp) did okay.

Scary Teddy Rules! Yay Teddy!

Selva Magica, Mexico This was a great park, as part of a really awesome short TPR tour in Mexico, last March. This was an important tour to myself, as I was about to hit my #600 Coaster (and it was Medusa at Six Flags Mexico!) and then turn 60 before I left back for home. Exciting times... Selva Magica had some great attractions there, including a Schwarzkopf Jet Star, Tornado; the Pregnant Woman Walk-thru; a really cheap SkyCoaster; and just recently, it has bought and put back together a unique coaster called The BULLET. This will definitely bring TPR back for another tour, maybe 2015? I also enjoyed the tasty surprise of beer mixed with spicy clamato juice! It was especially nice on the hot day we had there at the park. No complaints, and it was good! And lastly, Selva Magica was celebrating its 25th Anniversary back then! There weren't a lot of special souvenirs to buy. But they did have the mug available. One side, taken w/o flash. The other side, taken w/flash. Mmmmm tasty drink during the heat. The Bullet. Now in Selva Magica!

This is definitely a Plussed Up Bench:The Ride for only those who can afford it. (Or it's for big European Familes. Pick a country.)

Hackle.

Damn, some times I just don't like "progress".

I'm not there, thankfully, but Regina Saskatchewan, in our Prairies Provinces... is at -32'C right now.

So yay101, this is a really great place to be yourself, doesn't matter the orientation. And you'll have better contact and connections, than I ever did in my "good old days" (har). Welcome to The Craziness That Is TPR.

Now, where were we? Now that Santa's been eliminated along with all those pesky, bitchy elves....
