Then of course, there's the extremely "old-fashioned method" of just hitting the PREVIEW button and checking the post yourself for errors, etc. But every little help...... helps, heh heh.

Alton Towers Coaster POV Video!
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Well, I enjoyed AIR so much - I even bought the cap and bear and shooter glass! Really though, I did enjoy it and the slowness of it, taking it in as 'coasting' as it were, heh heh. Especially that parking lot fly-by. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! -

Very effective. I was hoping for the mirror effect - just to 'see' who I was, lolol! Thass'ok. Creepy, wierd and great. -

Photo TR : Alton Towers Adrenaline Opening Week
Nrthwnd replied to scottjenkins's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I think one of my fave things about AT during the TPR June Tour, was that queue going down, down, down.... into Nemmie's trench. Very nice. And the bridge, too. That was great to hang around, too. That red water always did get me (and a few others I believe?) as it kept spraying at us as we zoomed by. Is that still happening? Bizarre stuff. Great TR. Thanks for sharing it all. -

The Last Mimzy 8/10 And for my movie buck - muuuuch better than "Bridge to Terabithia". Special effects were laid out better throughout the movie, and although I wasn't still too sure what the plot was all about, it was still more interesting to watch, than the slow - drawn out - angst-filled - eventual ho-hum of "Bridge." It's a good film, Mimzy is.

PHOTO TR: Disneyland Paris Paddy's Weekend
Nrthwnd replied to neovortex2k's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
No - it's not just you - these pix are HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. Nice TR, from what I can make out after the (eventual) loading of the thread. Pix should be reduced, though. Just a suggest. -
Photo TR: Divv's Disneyland Resort Paris Adventure
Nrthwnd replied to Divv3k's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
^ I think they still want 'something' like a water-born ride to eventually arise 'over thar/yonder,' be it Far Eastern and Exotic Shores or Wild and Wooly Western Shorelines! (I'm hoping by the 25th..... ) -
Hmmmm. There is such a thing as "soft Reggae".

Haunted Mansion Refurb Dates
Nrthwnd replied to jackskellington101's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Agreed. Phantom Manor's soundtrack is wonderful to listen to, even separate from the attraction itself! (see how I even collect the CDs?) Separate random question to all - when did they start doing the "Nightmare Before Christmas" overlay at Tokyo Disney's HM? I thought it was 2004, but maybe 2005? Just checking. -

^^^ Don't forget that Indy Jones coaster was Disney's first time at putting together a looping coaster with themeing, something none of the other theme parks had attempted, in the States. All in all, and except for putting the cars backward for a time there, I think they did a pretty good job of it. For their first looping coaster. Then, they did it again with DLPs Space Mountain, and eventually the Rock'N'Roller for WDW and Paris. "Song of The South" is not known world-wide. Hence, no Splash Mountain. But there has been numerous rumors of there 'possibly' being a Frontierland or Adventureland attraction in the future, one with a flume or a water coaster going through it. Who knows? Heck, they're only 15 years old now ~Happy Birthday DLPR! ~ so they have plenty of time to add more, and more and more.... Two weeks+ to go and I'll be "Down on Main Street.." soon. -
Back to the Future is History
Nrthwnd replied to thefitness's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I rode it during the first months it was open - May of 1991, I remember. Well, sixteen years later and I guess it just couldn't keep up with t-t-t-time, heh heh. That, and the fact that Universal just didn't want to keep up with the up-keep, LOL. RIP - BTTF (And they closed it down on my birthday too. Random... but, there it is!) -

I see............. insane ride ops! Take it away, take it away pleeeeeeeeeeeese! -

Woo hoo! Just found a credit I forgot about. The old mad mouse in Guerneville CA, years and years ago, I went on it. Count now up to 167!
