Chuck's TPR Shameless Nostalgia Trip Thread
Nrthwnd replied to cfc's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I went thru riding Space Mountain in DisneyParis on several visits: 2002, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2015.... It seemed to hurt like heck, every time I had those over-the-shoulder-restraints.... I believe the initial riding, in 2002 was the best. -

Chuck's TPR Shameless Nostalgia Trip Thread

Great stuff, Chuck. Yeah, the queue for Crush's Coaster was bizzarely long. And boring. Until you got in the show building, itself. But still. Tres long. -

I found another ad from the 2013 series.... and it's the one that features Coaster on it! I called it the "Half & Half" series. (o; (See previous page for the other two ads.) -

A special LIVE online concert of many, many actors, saluting Broadway's Stephen Sondheim in a one time only concert. For his 90th Birthday. He's an Aries. Awwwwwww. Coming up, on the hour. (1/2 hour later in Newfoundland.) EDIT (Monday 27th): They had multiple tech problems with the broadcast, so it went on much MUCH later in the evening. But now you can see/hear it in it's entirety by going to http://www.broadway.com and enjoying it there.

SOON! The Steven Sondheim Birthday Party-Concert-Celebration-Everything! is about to start. Enjoy all the performances and words about this awesome musical theatre legend. EDIT TO ADD: (Monday/27th) Because of all the tech problems they had last night, the concert was done a lot later than some people expected. Or waited for. But you can now see the whole program at http://www.broadway.com .... and now that I watched it, it's pretty good! I especially enjoyed the "Three-way Ladies Who Lunch," with Audra McDonald; Christine Baranski; and Meryl Streep. Much fun with all of them.

^ Ooooo I remember seeing those dioramas available in Disneyland, when we were there last fall. And I totally forgot to get one. Same goes for that awesome light-up Doom Buggy! I think there was an outdoor stall to the left of the exit door of the ride. And I blew right past it. Please be sure to show the diorama, when you've put it all together, plplplplease Chuck? -
^ I saw that, and it made me wonder what languages is this sing-a-long going to be in? Not to mention, nearly all the "songs" from all Cirque's shows are not (to me) 'memorable' etc. But I took and look and listen. It was nice. Loved all the acts in it, and the music as well.

^ I think I got that when it was actually for sale. We have one of those Hallmark Stores in a mall, close to us. And as I remember, since it was offered as a Christmas Ornament (for the wrong movie?)....still, I got it on sale. And it still works, after all this time, with no new battery used (knock wood). I also have one with Elsa at her "New Outfit/Look Reveal" moment in "Let It Go." That one needs a new battery. Hallmark Elsa in back. And her Glee Club. (o; -
Note, to "All Who Loooves Their Sondheim".... There's a big to-do happening to-morrow at 8pmEST/5pmPST at http://www.broadway.com Full of every possible musical actor you could ever imagine, throwing their musical gifts towards The GeniusMan who turned 90 last month! Nothing has been revealed as to who is singing what. But Broadway.com is providing videos of past performances of Sondheim's works. It's quite something to see and hear. https://www.broadway.com/buzz/199153/more-stars-take-me-to-the-world-a-sondheim-90th-birthday-celebration-just-got-even-bigger/

Playland/PNE (Vancouver) Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Nrthwnd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Here's three sets of Playland Ads that appeared through the summer seasons.... The first set is from 2006. Simple, but fun to see where "the seats" are put. Second set is from 2002. It's all black and white but becomes very effective, when the blue is added. Third set is from 2010. It explains itself.

Shanghai Disney Resort Discussion Thread

Recently posted overhead shots of ShDL. The first shot shows the ZOOTOPIA area still being finished (yay dirt!) before vertical construction begins. It's still strange to see a Magic Kingdom without a train running around it. Or at least through it, like Western Railroad in Tokyo Disneyland. Thank you to whoever took these photos! -

I got what I think is my final vehicle (to collect) in the TOMICA Tokyo DisneySea Transit Steamer Line Collection. Thru eBay. The whole thing numbers I believe, 29 vehicles. I paid $50 for this one. Others have been going for $75-85. I was lucky on this one. 2013.... The Spring Voyage Steamer. And now I have 29 of these. (o: -
