Avatar/Photochop Contest! VOTING TIME!
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
These are ALL pretty amazing, everybody! Most impressive. I think I already have a fave, but will give pause for "the rest" to show up by....ahem....DEVINE INTERVENTION... Eh. Didn't work for me, either. See how rotten I am at this? That's why you're doing the photochop and I am "admiring from afar........t" -

Walt Disney World Epcot Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Then, there were always those past plans, possible ideas, rumored projects for World Showcase, right? Switzerland - with a Matterhorn-type bobsled flume coaster... Russia - some kind of dark ride I remember. Germany supposedly had space for a boat-like ride thru the Black Forest, etc. Japan was supposed to have "Meet The World" in the back part of it, but that went to Tokyo Disneyland, instead. Not all thrill coaster rides, but still attractions that 'moved people' etc. -

Of course, I believe the reverse is true, that several peeps on these boards would wish that Manhattan Express in Vegas, was just themeing only, LOLOL! -

Photo TR: Token Yankee Does California
Nrthwnd replied to Token Yankee Guy's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Guess you'll find out, once the doctor's bills come in..... Great TR, Craig. Looks like you got a lot of touring around, packed in, besides the TPR Party and all. Kewl! But I would've kicked the Kodak Theater for that awful, awful Oscar CRASH incident... (j/k - see Final Award in 'replay') -
^ Either that, or at the 'top' of the Top Hat - we'll all cry out: HUMDINGER!!!

Thorpe Park's New "Inta-Entrance"
Nrthwnd replied to Cjw's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
What are the bets of a UK Tour Group Photo under this little archway? Not possible? Hmmm. Or one of those shots, showing the bus going under & thru it, heh heh. It's really a great idea, and I wish some parks had used the idea earlier, with other types of tracking, making them all rather uniquely arched parking lots, LOL! ( EDIT: For the ? ) -
Funniest thing I've seen all day! Now I bet all the people on the UK Trip will scream "I'LL HAVE A BIG MAC WITH FRIES!!!!" at the top of Stealth...just to be funny. Hmmmm. Weeeeeeeeeeeeellllllhavvvvvvvve aaaaaaa BIIIIG MAAAC With FRIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiii....... (dropping down other side) Possible. Possible. I'll let ya know, later on, lol.

The "Sören´s Way To Disney" Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Hattuchili's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Doesn't sound like Holy Land will be around much longer, from what I've heard about layoffs and some taxes....um....not paid? Just goes to show - if the Gods don't get you, death and/or taxes will... (EDIT: Actually, if Soren ever gets the chance early on, you and he should get to Holy Land and see - and photog- what's left of it... and about to go 'halo up', heh heh.) -
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooo CANADA !!! (EDIT: A few too many 'ooo's)

I just put in another set of minutes on the exercise bike. Level 4, Ride In Park program. I think I'm feeling great about the 'workout'.... I feel like crap, lol. Must be a good sign.

Theme Park Review's Spring Party!
Nrthwnd replied to SharkTums's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hmmm. TPR Sauce - "Good for Great Eatin', Clogged Pipes and Meltin'Tree Stumps" (That'll sell it, I betcha. ) Good to hear everybody had a great time. -
Hmmm - 453 votes, so far. And now we're up to 53 pages here.... And I turn 53 in a couple of weeks.... And really? I don't go looking for this 'stuff' about '3s' and number sets, etc. It just usually hits me when I least expect it. Doo dah... karmah. (Go Earl!!!) ~ ~ ~ ~ (EDIT: Yeah, yeah I know - I started page 54. Go figger.)

Maybe Robb could take her out to a 'Special' McDonalds.... I dunno. One that looks classier than the rest? Could happen, down in LA or Hollywood, hmmm? Right? Officially now, have an excellent day Elissa. (All Hail the naming of The Egg Turn!)
