I sense there to be a future TPR Lighthouse Takeover, next tour that hits Europa Park, lol! (Although it IS hard to beat the Colosseo Hotel. )

^ I think the scariest thing in that ghost train ride was all the neon lighting in there, lol! Thanks for sharing!

^ Nope.

OMGOMGOMGOMG Is this why TPR is going back to Japan next year? Or just some great, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious ..........timing? (Well this, and TSM and the Jasmine's flying carpets in Disney Sea, and the rest of the 2 parks, lol)

I think I have it totally memorized now. The layout - from start to finish. Must - stop - watching - vids.

Warm here, for the evening.

Daytime ride looks great! And I love the little geysers area between the backwards and forwards parts of the track layout. But actually? I think the night-time ride is going to be more fun, in comparison. Anyway... great, great, woo hoo!

Actually, after I saw the video of this coaster, I immediately thought of this being (could be) like the MK's Dwarves Mine Coaster.... on steroids, LOL!

"It's about a relationship..."

oh - my - gawd it - looks - amazing! I cannot wait to ride this in Sept. with the TPR tour. And Disney being smart and sneaky, releasing a vid of the ride - but at night. (Sorry if it wasn't them, but still...timing.) The scenes with the bears all look great, especially that near-last one before the blast re-launch forward. Awesome!

Can't wait to see what happens when you turn the wheels on the Wonder Wagon, lol!

Yes. Actually, waaay more than five... Sherlock Holmes II Mission Impossible 3 Iron Lady The Lorax The Hunger Games Wrath of The Titans Mirror Mirror Pirates - Band of Misfits Dark Shadows The Avengers Men In Black 3 Snow White & The Huntsman Prometheus (We love movies, lol.) Do you like chocolate ice cream?

Um.... When is the next TPR Japan tour?

I miss iSpeed. Were they still doing that iSpeed vs. Katun thing ('VOTE' which you like better) with t-shirts, buttons and such? Great looking tour and report, Robb!

^ I'm pretty sure Turks does have a good selection of non-caffiene beverages. Will check on next visit, lol.

I am trying to get into bit of ongoing inter-community activity - with at least an afternoon trip to one of our local coffee houses, lol. Called Turks - they make a nice capaccino (sp?) and a coffee card for a freebie every 10!

breathe in - breathe out

Love it at night! And the "fog tunnel" is great!

A lot of the time, dark rides are uniquely-created to the park that has them. There also are companys, like Sally Corp. and even Disney, who are certainly offering up and creating great dark ride experiences, they can and will reproduce the same ride, if wanted by another park. Esp. Disney. So finding a truely only-in-this-park kind of dark ride, is a true treat for myself to go on. Even if the attraction itself is pretty cheesy, run down or just plain awful. I am glad I took a ride on it and thru it. You only get one chance to ride it, sometimes... My continued WTF reaction to Tokyo park Toshimaen's odd big box dark ride. (July 1,2011)

Also, 60 Minutes on CBS, is doing a segment on "The Book of Mormon" with the South Park creators, just before the TONYs start up. I think this is a repeat of the one they ran before it opened a year ago - and the rest is history, etc.etc. I also think it's still a good segment worth repeating. But who knows? Maybe this is a new look back to how well (ha ha) it's been doing, so far. AND "Mormon" is apprently opening the Awards too! I am so hoping its "Sal-Ta-La-Ka-City" sung by Nikki M. James, Such a beautifully-sung song, wierd stuff and all, lol. Happy 66th TONYs Everybody!

Efteling has always been one of my favourite parks to visit. With or wthout the coasters, lol. Garden areas are wonderful. Thanks for sharing what it looks like, in May! Some really beautiful photos you've taken.

I think, that after all the coasters I have ridden in the rain on a few of the TPR overseas tours, one of the first I rode that way, is/was still The Best Wet Ride Ever, lol.... Thunder Coaster Tusenfryd Park Oslo, Norway It - was - insane when we rode it during a very soggy and drenching ERT hour. And we all kept riding and riding it! Awesome.

Uh uh. Bacon and cheddar popcorn. Still sounds crazy. But then - I've had flavoured popcorns at Tokyo Disney Resort, lol.
