This avatar is off of the photo taken of myself in July, last year. One of Playland's for-adults-only Playland 19+Nights. With a bar and booze available. And special cocktails available. Yum! Each Friday night was themed, and the one I went to was themed to NEON. I loved that theme, and hope it repeats in some form, when they get back to a (uh) "normal" season next year. The avatar... ...And what the avatar doesn't show. And I wished that pass wasn't covering up the name CEDAR POINT. July 5, 2019.

I liked that park, with all it's rides thrown together on both sides of the main coaster. Sorry to see it being all dismantled like that. And some U.S./Cdn park has got to name their mad mouse Raton Loco. It's too good a name, not to use again. Marvin the Clown, and me. I miss him and the park. TPR 2013 Mexico Tour.

"I Wanna Dance (With Somebody)" Whitney Houston

Great report! But..... ($32 US = $43 Cdn)

LOL. But the old saying goes...."Three Strikes and You're Out".....? Let's hope it doesn't come to that. (Ha ha)

It just goes to show, you can't totally judge the finished project, by the concept art. This looks wonderful! And with it's surrounding setting... just beautiful. It's also interesting to see, that they've kept the original castle shape (sort of) in the form of a silhouette in the artwork for the 15th. Just found another gorgeous photo of The Castle on the net. It`s nice that you can also see a bit of IAsW over in the background, there.

Happy "Friday the 13th" Everybody!

^ Cool! Thanks for the info. And I hope Title Fairy has a nice long, un-eventful vacation.

hi your Hi-ness ~ just checking in here ~ wondering if it's at all possible for a return to my past much loved um....subtitle? i mean BAYSIDE STATION! i kind of miss, from time to time please consider this request - yours, on all fours

Other than the last photo, which I don't quite understand, since you've written about a spinning coaster there, it's a great ongoing TR with some pretty awesome photos you've taken! Looking forward to more of your trip.

^ Kirnu? Naw. It and INSANE in Grona Lund (Stockholm) were both great to ride AND re-ride, IMhO. Nothing like that piece of crap at SF:MM. Good luck (and my sincere sympathy) to La Ronde for getting it.

This looks like a somewhat " more flattened" version of Kirnu, over in Finland. To me. Linnanmaki Park, Helsinki. Different track design and maker, I know. Still...

Great shots, Marcus. Thanks for posting them!

"This Heart's On Fire" Wolf Parade

^^ Heck, even I like this!

This is the thread this should have gone into. It was an ad in our Safeway food flyer, a few weeks ago. We got a half dozen. And it turns out they were nothing more than cinnamon and sugar donuts, but 'twirled'. i.e. the ones on the right. We were not that impressed with them. Probably should have tried the pumpkin ones, instead.

Alex Trebek Who just passed away, this morning?

^ Huh. Thanks for finding this. And yes it is dear old corkACKscrew, with one of the Drop Zone towers in front of it, and Revelation to the left. Interesting that back when they had the public meetings, I asked if it was sold (this was in January?) because it was totally gone from it's old spot? And was told no, they hadn't found a buyer. So they just dismantled it and put it in storage. Hmmm. Maybe they decided to try, try again, and got lucky! Wonder who bought it? And I wonder, for how much? They were originally asking half a mill for it. And that didn't get a sale. So maybe they reduced the asking price? I know the old EXPO86 Coaster (then called the Scream Machine) went to SF-St.Louis. That park has my continued sympathy. Stay tuned I guess. Coming up next month.

Happiness is.... a sigh of relief.

I like that they call the ride vehicles coaches. Don't know why. Just do. And they look awesome, too!

^ Yes. Yes it does, Arby's deep fried turkey sandwich does count! Playing RCT? Must be at least a few years ago. I still have all the disks, but not touched them since - forever. When was the last time you donated (any) toys to a Holiday Collection Drive?

Christmas Toy Drop at the PNE! https://www.pne.ca/event/christmas-toy-drop-drive-thru/2020-11-13/ I just put my "reservation" in to drop a toy {or more} there, on the 12th. Bring an unwrapped toy. Get coffee and some awesome mini-donuts for doing it! (o:

How about Europa Park, over in Germany? There's a park with a good selection of great coasters, AND great theming AND great hotels!

More than a bread box. (I'm bored today. Pardon.)

Last night, actually! When was the last time you had turkey for dinner?
