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.

This is a Day to be very happy about....

Morons. Both groups.

There's still a few minutes left in my time zone, so.... Happy 65th Birthday, Disneyland!

Just found out - this Sunday it's National Ice Cream Day! So if you are heading to Playland on Sunday, there's a "2 for 1 Scoops" Deal for you! Yum! Here's where to get your two-4-one scoops in Playland. Woo hoo for Ice Cream Day on Sunday!

^ HA! Well, silly me. Now I know! Thanks for that. Our Mrs.Knott's Chicken Dinner take out. Sept.2019.

^ Pardon, but.... CDR? I don't remember what that stands for. All that I can come up with, is "Calico Dude Ranch" LOL.

^ Ha! I remember getting "a pair of those" in the Fujiyama Coaster gift shop, back in....2011. But what I bought was (were?) just in a sleeve pkg. not as fancy as yours was. And that chocolate crunch... don't know why I never picked any up. Certainly looks good, from what I see of yours. The tins look really nice, too. And individually wrapped, too! Damn I love Japan. Thanks for sharing your recent 'souvenir food', Bert. This is the package of....uh...boobs pudding I got in Fuji-Q.....2011. (o:

I decided to email Playland/PNE about the maximum capacity at Playland, during these times. Compared to all the other parks' openings, around the world. Here's what they emailed back to me: Not a big number, compared to other bigger parks and franchises. When I finally get there, probably in August, the number may have been enlarged by then. But for now...that's a really small number of people allowed!

^^^ They may re-purpose a few (or several) of the existing animatronics for the Splash Mountain re-do, y'know?

^ This is true. Bert taught me everything about riding Magnum.

what idiot parents A simple question: Did they know, or not know, that masks were required NO EXCEPTIONS.....?

Awesome look at ....well, everything Chuck! I miss a lot of the stuff and places you visited, last year. Thanks for a quick look-see, at what it was all about.
