Happy Birthday Lou! Best wishes, always.

That indoor ceiling balloon ride looks unreal! And I am now sooooooo jealous of the Korea tour, after looking at your great photos of the parks. Thankyou for sharing the photos with everybody!

Great Hotel TR! I am very interested in this hotel, ever since it has been built as part of Phantasialand. Your photos of the hotel's interior look wonderful. I hope I will eventually get to see, if not stay, at this one. Excellent choice for doing a separate TR on it. (The night shots look excellent too - I love buildings with good lighting and stuff to make them amazing-looking at night, and even better than they looked in the daytime, lol!)

Sorry. I didn't mean it as a slam. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that I'd just like to see Robb with a beard, cause I think he'd look good with it. Everyone uses emoticons and expressions differently, so it's easy to be misunderstood. Please, no hard feelings.

^ I think you've got my response backa$$words, kiddo. I am saying that no, BeatleBen is not "the only one who thinks"... Savvy? ~ ~ ~ Again, great TR Jeff. Keep 'em coming!

How wonderfully AWESOME it is to see somebody else using a "regular old camera" and f-i-l-m in it.... like myself, heh heh. Too many of your shots are just fantastic (too many? eh...) to note here, but on the whole it really is a great TR showing a lot of what's been already been shown.... differently. Light-wise and colour-wise, I mean. Looking forward to more of your photos. Take your time. They deserve all the care you can give them, those films, LOL!

Awesome TR JB! And NOW I know where TYHC comes from - finally! ...... I think. But ... OMG ... What? No Hydro there??? Looks like you got lots of "wetness possibilities and varieties"ssssssss... Great Job there.

Ocean's 13 6/10 We enjoyed it, and it was certainly a nice change, this being a more 'adult' kind of film, and no pre-schoolers with parents, and "others not interested in this kind of movie". But - we didn't think it was as busy with the "how we going to do this?" kind of stuff. Like in the first two of this (now apparent) "series". More "posing with dialogue" going on in this script. A lot. All over the place. But hey - it got Al Pacino into the mix, which was a great idea. And pulling back Garcia into it to help the guys along, wasn't too shabby, either. Still. More 'comfy' to watch than wide-eyed enjoyment.

I never learned to play ANY instrument, AT ALL in my (current) life. Guess there's still a bit of time left to think about it though, hmmm?

What is it with these multiple accidents and burns happening with Easy Bake Ovens?!!! I mean, these silly things (okay, not silly for some peeps)came out in the late 50s? Early 60s? And I don't remember hearing even a remote fraction of the reports of caught hands and fingers in the "over door", etc.etc.etc. I DO realize this IS still a serious thing, when little kids are getting burned by that good old electric light bulb in there .... but HOW MANY NOW??? I bet some parents aren't actually READING who these things are best made for, age-wise? And then there are those that just give the kid the 'toy' and that's that. No involvement whatsoever. Except it 'FINALLY shuts the brat up about the thing' blah blah blah. I feel bad for the company making the Easy Bake, considering the company HAS been successful with it for so long. And angry at (probably) a few of these parents, taking a simple 'ouchy' and turning it into a million dollar + waste of tax payers' time and... yep$.

We're getting rain from time to time, now. Along with overcast skies and cooler temps. Some sun still, here and there, lol.

Yes. No.

Over at www.dlrpmagic.com there's a new article about the visual 'differences' that are happening between the DCA WDS version of ToT. And near the end of the article, there's wondering on the part of the writer whether the inside of the Paris ToT might be at all different in design and setup? A great shot of the WDS' Tot thanks to photosmagiques.com

^ Or Space Invader.

The park looks wonderful at night, esp. the way the buildings are lit. Very nice ongoing TR.

Hmmmm. I forgot Robb was.... ticklish. (Edit: Park looks great; Ge Force looks AWEsome; Starflyer looks utterly terrifying to me; but hey - hope it's all a part of next year...)

I'd say that's pretty random having two pieces of the Berlin Wall there? For 'themeing'? Was it part of a bigger display?

I was kidding Louise a little about the tea cup rides and waltzers, and any comparison in 'sickness quotient,' between the two. That's it.

Looks like a fantasic day you had there. And Khan - . One of these years... maybe. ~ ~ ~ And the Teacups (Spain) or Waltzer (UK tour)? Which is worse, Louise? And thanks for posting a great ongoing report here.

This pic made me burst out, laughing! Great TR you've got there. And I loved that little three cage "Roll-O-Ferris Wheel" thingie! I want one for my back yard!!! I just laughed out loud when I saw this one - good on ya, BigMIke!

Man, it's Tuesday now.... and STILL no update???? Hmmmph.
