....with that..... Smiling Mask..... on. New photo posted by Playland(PNE) {Thanks} showing our Coaster, "in Covid19 Action"! I'm finally visiting the park this Sunday, and I waaaas wondering what they were doing with Coaster. And now I know that Row 3 (my usual) is still available, lol. But then, I realized..... see below. And it's still the Purple Train from last season. But...WAIT! Wasn't this the train that stalled a year ago?... Aug.05/2019 ~ our BC Day ~ Yup - same colour coaster, stalled. And riders being Evac-ed. So this means...they fixed the train! (o:

"Now did ya hear the one about the sunken log?" They got gift cards, free passes to Animal Kingdom. And I wonder if they got [offered] free clothes cleaning services, too. But I smell a lawsuit coming on, though thankfully, no one (I read) was injured....just soaked.

^^ Like I said before... and although not exactly theme-park related....it's still a Holiday Event, now not happening. The first one announced, of that nature, that I have read about. "And the Jingle Jingle goes on..." Having seen one of these productions, I can happily say, "It's a Theme Park In & Of Itself!" (o:

Happy BC Day in Canada! Our province's flag.

^ I'm surprised they didn't mask the cat, too.

I really hate to bring it up.... but this means there might be a few of (if not several) the usual Parks' Holiday Season Events not happening at all, either. Brace yourselves.

EDIT: Now that the site's been redone, this is gone, now. Yay!

^ Well, that was nice of them to let you do that, "after the fact." Good going!

Just got my comp ticket for Sunday, August 09 - 11am to 5pm. I get two, for each 2020 season pass. Hopefully, they'll be open in Sept. too.

It's all about peanuts, really.

^^ I would say their Pirates/Caribbean is a pretty good stand-out attraction, as well as BTM. The history of it is, the Imagineers planned this, in the actual way (and order of scenes) they wanted to do it. And that includes the drop into the action of the cannon battle on the water. And the caves with pirate skeletons at the end. We love this version of it. We haven't been to Shanghai DL, so we can't compare that one to the others. But we do know the awesomeness of ShDL's version, including how it works, etc. Come to think of it, the whole of Frontierland in DLP is themed towards Phantom Manor and it's owner/story line, etc. Including Big Thunder. That's a pretty cool way to do a "Land" based on a single story, which Disney Paris does, wonderfully! DLP ~ Sept.2015 Big Thunder from the Phantom Manor queue.

CoVid-19 has prevented some TOMICA Tokyo Disney Vehicle releases from happening. Until lately. Bought myself two Disney vehicles on eBay. One is for the 37th Anniversary of TDLR this year. In the form of two of Alice's TEA CUPS! One with Mr. and Ms. Mouse, the other with Donald and Daisy on it. The other is the 2020 EASTER version of TDS' Transit Steamer Line. With Mickey and Minnie on it. Happy me. I don't think they make music, though. I don't think. Easter's come and gone. But the TOMICA lives on. (o;

Totally agree! Great thorough report, here. Thanks for posting it.

^ Ha! They should send a few dozen of those over to Alton Towers. The park could then run a fund raiser contest with the masks as prizes! Or sell them individually for a charity/organization. That'd work, too. *** The PNE/Playland just posted (July29) updated info. on their schedule in August. Only two weekends so far, and one time period per day, 11am to 5pm. AND - they're opening most of the bigger "thrill rides" like Coaster and The Beast. https://www.pne.ca/playland2020/

^ Love the shoulder accessories. And your baby looks nonplussed about the whole situation, lol. Great shot of you both.

^ Elissa will loooooove this.

^ Hansa Park in Germany, did it all the time. At least with two coasters I know of.

^ POV On-Ride Videos are the next best thing, to actually riding these things. So THANK YOU Marcus, for sharing these great videos from Liseberg! Speaking of Liseberg.... My autograph on Balder, 2014.

This Just In! Season pass holders for this season, got a new email from the PNE with an update of what's happening in August, for Playland... Can't wait!!! And that photo looks soooooo wierd!

"ALWAYS HAPPY" in quotations, there.... PNE recently posted a couple of new publicity photos for Playland. And I must admit. Are these mask-on pix starting to get a bit....creepy? I'm sure there will eventually be a Pirated Horror D(?) Movie made of all of this, lol. Ready to Play ~ And ALWAYS HAPPY about it! The staff.... The staff... The staff is ALWAYS HAPPY to help you have a VERY HAPPY DAY.

Pudding. Vanilla pudding. Great little collection of TOMICA you picked up, there.

And much much cuter, too!

Decided to start listening to all the Cirque du Soleil soundtracks, to productions I/we have seen thru the years. Including my one time chance-of-a-lifetime to see ZED in Tokyo Disneyland. (2011) We saw 10 productions including one coliseum show (Toruk) and one movie (Journey of Man, IMAX). And I have the cds to all. What I am currently listening to.

Great tour of Energylandia! It looks like quite the park. But..... Spit Cake? Glad you had Chuck's suggestion, instead. And that "Viking Show"..... yeah....well.....whatever.
