IMhO, I think it's because most American theme parks never planned for winter weather, the way Disney has done in Tokyo and Paris. Lots of covered walkways, heated line areas, walk-thru shops linked together for continual protection. And most importantly, most of the attractions and their lines are covered in some way or within a show building that is of course, out of the elements' way. It's hard to pull off, when you have a winter like some of these countries have. Or even parts of the USA and Canada. It's also a year-round travel destination 'thing' that makes Disney plan for such seasons in those parks, too. While DL and WDW have pretty good weather year-round themself.

Another Coaster Credit Question
Nrthwnd replied to pgathriller's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yes, that certainly is hard core. Sho'nuff. Puh-lease. I hope that nobody actually puts a "serious guide of.." together for coaster creds. I mean, I've been on coasters that none of you young'uns can ever ride cause they aren't around any more. So do I count coasters, that nobody can ride any more? Hey, it's my word against yours, hmm? What-ever. Have fun debating the subject, bois & gurls. -

Expedition Evergreen..not Everest
Nrthwnd replied to DegoRed's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
OMG! That's so cool! And yeah, don't include the "not Everest" part in the actual logo. We know what it's not, heh heh. Excellent choice of Nameing. Perfect for the ocassion coming up in the Kingdom of Animal. (Actually as a sudden edit - maybe you should add instead of the red eyes for Yeti, in the original logo - you string 'a string of tiny red christmas lights' across it diagonally? Just a humble suggestion, lol.) -
^ Is named after a machine. < Can too rhyme - atta time V Eyes just widened at reading the above line! ~ ~ ~ ~ And Happy Post #888!

Yes it is perfectly normal. Now - go put on your Looney Tunes, Martin the Martian helmet, get digi-camed and get in here, pronto!

Pick N Mix Video #1 Contest Top 20!
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I was wondering if Robb could work out the voting poll, so that we could pick three choices, and then it would tote up everybody's "threesomes" and make the graph accordingly? Possible? I find myself down to three vids as well - and they shall remain un-named for now. But - they are all great, in their own unique way(s). It would certainly be an interestingly new Poll to post, if you could do it that way... Just a suggestion, IMhO. -
^ Nice. Very nice indeed. 8)

Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Nice set of vid mixes, peeps! Very impressive. Everybody's skills amaze me, really. No shizznit! And I can safely say, that I pretty well know the entire layout now of Expedition G-Force, lolol! Not to mention, some of the layout of the rest of the park, heh heh. Got the set of twenty down to six. Then, a re-look at those six, and then down to three. And then --- hmmm, what to choose, what to choose? Hmmm. What would da Mick pick? -
