Hamster: Ok, ok. I see an 'i' and a 'D' there... Lemme think, lemme think, Snake: Meh.

Name of the coaster: Alizzia = Elissa? Nice TR, Dave. Too bad some of the stuff wasn't working, or stored away. Those 'banana swings' looked great! Hmmm. TPR's very own FruitLand!

It's one of those days today - meaning, nobody here at TPR has a birthday to celebrate, so..... Happy Birthday Song writer and stylist ALICIA KEYS

^ The main focus I thought of this thread was the variations of the designs of the towers in each ToT, in it's respective location. And how the 'storyline' was going to end up being, with TDS' and DisParis'. Hey it's a good challenge to the designers not to stay exactly with the orig.design, when they can't really, hmmm? Copy is sincere form of flattery; Original is always imitated, never duplicated; and then there's the Haunted Mansions..... It seems that the other three towers being built are not to be like WDW or each other, for that matter. And RnR in paris is not exact clone 'experience light show' as it's WDW original is. And some say that's better than original. So...? IMhO

Actually, it's not sad at all for anybody who can get to the WDW site and experience these amazing originals for themself. I stand corrected.

I stand corrected, there. So, that leaves Paris and China, huh?

...Hmmm. Maybe also for the words, They're and too, as well? Third time's the charm? Or you get pregnant? Or call it the Triple Crown? Eh. I'd rather drink Triple Crown, m'self, LOLOL.

Oh nuts. Just when I was starting to get into it, before Christmas. Merde.

^ The sad truth to all of the above, is that WDW is going to get some awesome hugely E-Ticket attractions from time to time - whether they be like the original ToT or E:E. And the other parks will/might/not get a 'clone' of that WDW attraction in future years. Tokyo, China and Paris still have a lot of good-sized space they can come up with their own original E-type attractions. And you have to hand it to DL, for actually figuring out where to put one more good E-ticket into it's mix before the century ended, that being Indy. Honestly? I think now the Paris ToT is the one to watch out for. So much has been now revealed with TDS' ToT is practically unveiled by now, with most tarps coming off it. And still not much about TDS' except the tower IS up now, lol. I love mysteries....

And this whole thread can be applied to as say --- um - an "Orientation Thread"??? Your guess is as good as mine, bubbah.

Continuing with my current Wintry Theme here.... Dancin'... Um - are you leading? Or is it me, still?

And with the above still in mind - BUMP-a-bumpDEbump....... Just added two more Maleficent pins to my 'collection of Her that Is The Bad Faerie.' It's more credit card money I don't need to spend. What-ever. (Does the Happy Dance in his computer chair.....)

Freaky.... but ..... L'amour, l'amour.

Curses - back down to 19% again! Hmmmph.

I am wondering how the paint job is going at Phishy & Mrs. Phishy's new home? Well, I hope.

Went fine for me here, where I is! Downloaded okay and played just as sweet.

8.152 What-ever. Hmmmph.

I do hope that ALL OF CANADA VOTES today.

I think that the 'cloning' DCA's ride sytem is just not just a case of "dumbing down" the WDW experience... but also, it's a matter of occupied space that one of these attractions has to sit on. WDW, like I've said before myself, and like the Walt himself in orig.broadcasts, has the blessing of SPACE to put all of it's ideas into action. And that of course includes how much land such an attraction would need/require. I mean, look at Expedition:Everest. How many of the other Disney parks could something of this size possibly fit into? In other words, they had to take the original WDW/ToT design/concept and (literally) turn it around (just like DL's castle, heh heh), in DCA and TDS. And probably TDS in Paris. too. Or from what I can make out, so far. Unfortunately, that's what they have been stuck with, with the other three parks. Not as much space to 'load up the wienies' as they could with the original, lol. I am happy that they have at least tried to duplicate the ToT experience as best as they were able to, under their current situation(s).

It seems like, to me anyway, that nobody really knows what is going on story-wise, design-wise with ToT in Paris??? The building's going up, to be sure, by all the current pix posted here and at www.DLP.info - but honestly? The whole "design" and Backstory of this one is remaining "La Mystere" (read: mystery) to me and I guess others here? What I do know and understand, is that 1) Twilight Zone backstory will not play as big a part here, due to numerous (so I have heard) guests' lack of knowledge of the TV show etc., and more importantly (IMhO)... 2) Guests at this resort will be from all over Europe and beyond. Meaning, 'signage' explanation isn't going to be as primary for this ToT. It's got to be more visual in the backstory, like Phantom Manor was/is supposed to be. Remember, Phantom Manor is (currently) the only Haunted Mansion in Disney parks that actually looks old and run down, yes? Anything new (incl.artists' drawings etc.) from anybody on this, I'd be greatly appreciative. (EDIT: URL was corrected for DLP.info)

^4 Oooooooo - coaster drop........(drool) Nice shot, John. Of yourself, I mean.

I re-loaded my avatar, it worked - and so far, Western Canada can see TPR from it's northernly location, lolol! Yay TPR.
