Ah, Flashback. And they still lined up for you, LOL. Back and forth and back and forth and....

Clones of better landscaping?

^ But true. I would want to say that, too.

Consider yourself somewhat lucky. Depending on which one in the world, etc.

Tokyo Disney Sea + Futurescope Park(France) = Technically, insanely, other worldly awesome!

I wish the Germany pavilion would get the Rhine River Cruise (through the Black Forest) that was originally planned with it, like it was supposed to. Big doors at the back were supposed to open to the ride. And that Japan get the souped up version (same thing, big doors at the back) of "Meet the World," a carousel-type attraction that eventually was built at Tokyo Disneyland. And maybe a steeplechase type ride (like Blackpool) in back of the UK pavilion? And yes, 'Ratatouille' for France! Lots can still be done with the original pavilions.

Glad you're back, and Happy New Year Mark! I forgot you had posted that TDL 2007 postcard. I got the same design in the t-shirt....and a coffee mug! But they took Scary Teddy off the main design, and put him on the handle of the mug. I will be showing it in my One Month of Mugs thread, end of this week. And Adventure City was a nice little park to enjoy, even without big thrills and huge attractions. Tree Top Racers were pretty good back then, when we visited. This design looks great on a black t-shirt.

Paramount Canada's Wonderland This was bought in 1999, when Paramount Pictures was the (then) current owner of the park, north of Toronto. And the Big News Coaster at that time...was The Fly, a souped up version of the mad mouse.... in Bright Colour, too. This mug is the same, front and back. And of the mini-pix, showing some of the attractions there. I also got an 'overhead shot' placemat of part of the park, which was cool...at the time. I will now magically switch the handle to the other side of the mug...... Ta Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! And that's all I got on this. The 1999 PCW's placemat. When there were less coasters and attractions there. And The Fly was New!

< It's a photo of my home coaster, named Coaster, at Playland (PNE). Just to show, if I change it again.

^It looks like the log flume had to extend beyond the reaches of the mainland, too. Very cool.

^ and ^^ You sent cheese? Cool!

Ours is just fine, thank you very much.

My math goes something like this: Keep Malestrom + Expand and Add FROZEN - Movie Theatre + Snow playground = Awesome! (And keep that awesome eatery, too!)

^ KickStarter!

^ Brilliant idea! But - maybe - how about an ICE BAR? Alcohol and non- In the Liseberg Ice Bar, 2006.

Theme Park Music. For example... (From the June-July 2013 TPR Japan Tour.)

I remember when we visited, there would be local people who liked the boat ride, but hated repeating the movie. So once they were 'docked' they waited till the entry doors opened, then dashed to the end of the lines of people exiting the previous showing! And exited that way, skipping the movie. Not the best way to do it, but it worked for some (of us). Of course if they took that whole movie theatre out, there would then be some more space to re-create a new flume ride, etc.

Wow. Great-looking night show at Efteling!

Loved the Hair Time on a guy, for a change, LOL.

^ Loved American Hustle. Great movie. And I hope Adams gets an Oscar nomination. Lawrence can sit this one out, LOL.

Hmmm. Not even at the 2016 China Tour yet, and it looks to be another tour in....2019?

Spokhuset, Grona Lund, Stockholm Grona Lund park has an awful lots of things going for it. Between the coasters and rides, the arcade games and the eating places, it is really a great place for a full day. But - when we were there in 2009, I really wanted to get either a t-shirt or a coffee mug with GRONA LUND emblazoned all over it/them. We did get a great gift of an INSANE t-shirt with the park on it's back. But still, not a lot (at that time) in the way of these kinds of souvenirs to buy. That was the only disappointment I had with Grona Lund. You could still get a few souvenirs here and there, albeit ones with attractions-specific logos on them. Like the Spokhuset walk-through, haunt house at the park. It was great. It had live actors, and had two levels to walk through, including part of it's path out on the front balcony. Very cool! So, I decided to get souvenirs of this attraction. There was a mug - and a fridge magnet - for this attraction, AND it did also have GL's logo there. Although it was the tiniest writing on it. But no matter. And maybe for the 2014 Scandi Tour, souvenirs may have 'changed' there, by now. Meaning = More of Them! The Mug and the Magnet. Nothing else on the mug. Back, bottom or inside on it. Nothing. )o: A shot of the actual attraction (thank you Divv!) when we were there in 2009. Note, gp on balcony? Great haunt and they even copied it's lettering (and colouring) on the mug and magnet. Way to go, GL!
