Anaconda re-tracked? Hmmm... "Maybe" a reason to go back there, eventually? -
Kaili's Happy Valley Shanghai Trip TR:
Nrthwnd replied to kailisun98's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Great First-Time Report! And I still always get a kick seeing some of the (what I call) Repetative Themeing that this chain does - like the splashdown boat's lift hill bldgs. And of course all that high "rockwork" (The Valley?) to walk through. Even the signature small stage in there for performance groups. Classic Happy Valley, heh. -
Photo TR: BD Goes to Tokyo!

One can never see too much of Japan. Congrats on the photo win and thanks for sharing your tour. Arigato gozaimasu. -
I figured this was the best place to 'announce' it... Happy Anniversary to Me and My David! Celebrating (wait for it) 41 Years together! And we haven't knifed each other.....yet. (And Happy Earth Day today, too!) Me and David last year at our annual queer film fest, Out On Screen. (Just before I went to China with TPR.) Yay us!

NEW TPR Video Every Day in April!

^ Unfortunately, if it came to the USA, it would also be outfitted with seat belts, backrest, shoulder restraints... Not fun any more. -
NEW TPR Video Every Day in April!
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This was a great, if odd, coaster. And keeping our arms out was sometimes scary! And too short a ride, but then this version was the first of it's kind, yes? Just like Oblivion for the dive coasters. -
^ Yes I am - I still watch it, and still enjoy it! As for the plot - it's show biz - stuff happens. Some times extreeeemely dramatic, too. Been there. Seen it happen up close. Can be nasty. And Ivy finally got to sing "Don't Forget Me" - and it was awesome! If they actually decide to do it on Broadway, my suggestion is this - do it like "Sideshow" but have the two actresses play one icon - Marilyn Monroe!

Um, you all KNOW this could be a total BS thing? Everything fits fine - they're just making it look wrong. My 2 sense. -

Video TR Efteling 2013
Nrthwnd replied to filipv's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Very nice video. The length, the music, the special effects where you put them...all perfect IMhO. And it brought back all sorts of happy memories I have of the park through my visits with TPR. And I'm glad you showed a lot of the more faerie tale(s) parts of Efteling. Definitely as rich and entertaining as any of the "thrill rides" there, lol. And - surprise - no back-up at the unload station, on the Snail-Rail! Always happened when we were there, heh. -

Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Yes, this also had one of the highest-to-get-to-by-stairs loading platform I had ever seen or been on! It also had some good force there when it sped up. And long. Very long. -

Disneyland Paris (DLP) Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I still say, they'll keep the damn attraction cleaner than streets you'd see in actual (oops doggy dou...) streets of Gaie Paris. So - any news/visuals from the site? Anxious as always, Bill. (EDIT To Add: This is The Only Trackless Disney-traction that has not been described in any way, to any press that I know of, as to what happens inside. We all know most of what now happens inside Mystic Manor in HKDL. So this one - intrigued.) -
