The big weekend's coming up. But - no public Easter egg hunts, sadly. But, In-house Easter Egg Hunts will become "the norm" this time 'round.

I just realized - no public Easter Egg Hunts to be held, this coming weekend. Oh well. I am sure some parents are going to create their own in-house hunts for their kids.

^ Geez, I never thought of steel separately, before. Hmmm. I'll go with an easy one: Expedition GeForce, Holiday Park, Germany. First Drop - TPR 2008 Europe Tour.

I repeat myself, after two years later. Last photo I took of Coaster, at the end of last summer's PNE / Sept.02, 2019.

"Jack And Diane" John Mellencamp

Ditto to that. Same here, for Playland(PNE). But - masks on coasters? And if one flies off.....? Guess some kind of "strap" will be needed. Just asking.

So many TPR member birthdays, today! Happy B to all. And a special Birthday Greeting to Title Fairy, too!

Bill Withers, 81. Singer of "Ain't No Sunshine," and the classic "Lean On Me," which has (now) become an international song of hope during the pandemic.

Been awhile. Glad you're reporting trips again. Go Texas Waffles! Between these and Mickey Waffles, how can we go wrong? Peter, Mike and my Mickey Waffles. TPR Sept.2007 Japan Tour.

Just over ten minutes, until THANK YOU Time (PST).

^ And he wrote one (or more) Broadway scores, too. The main one that comes to mind, is the adaptation of the movie "Cry Baby." That's the one that he was TONY-nominated, for. Only 52. Sad. Schlesinger and Rachel Bloom at Broadway's TONYs.

Canada's number is now over 11,000 people infected. And 160 deaths, at this time.

Labor.

Sounds like Oga's Cantina in DL and (probably) WDW. Still....good drinkin'!

And from far left field.... You know, you should totally sue Disney, for "Song Title Infringement"...or something to that affect. "Into the unknooooooown...." ~ Elsa, Frozen 2. p.s. That husband-wife team of The Lopez's you should be really going after. Elsa, looking for good lawyers.

^ No, I think whoever put this art concept together, decided to put every possible new-design coaster and/or flat ride on it at the time, LOL. And no, they haven't bought any of these yet, to the best of my knowledge. Except (hopefully) The One they're going to put in Corkscrew's place. And where Corkscrew was, on the model, they have a "Driving Track" attraction for kids. That's probably not going to happen, in that spot. A new coaster, for sure. I hope. The model is also pre-2015, as the Wave Swinger is still on it (by big yellow building close to Hastings St.), which was since replaced by the Sea-To-Sky Swinger; north of Wave Swinger, is Crazy Beach (Party). Which has since been moved to where the "Bumper Car" attraction is proposed, below the double row of trees, by the new "Main Entry". The Beast (which opened in 2015) is now in Crazy Beach's place. Hope this explanation isn't too confusing for you. In other words, this art concept model is at least 5-7 years old. And not totally correct, in what is planned to actually go there.... ...And the beat goes on. A Retro PNE shot: "See??? You can fit three in a seat!" 1950's PNE. Photo from Vancouver Archives.

My most recent cancellation happened this morning. But, I'm getting a full refund. Not only for this but for two other entertainment things, too. Totaling nearly $500 (Cdn) back to my credit cards. Missing my shows but happy to get the credit cards....credited back.

We got hail, snow and VERY loud thunder, earlier!

Earthquake in Idaho just happened. 6.5 on The Scale.

Happy to read that, about your mother getting better. And here's another Happy House photo I have found... One of my fave traveling homes.

"Show Yourself" Frozen II

Another great, uplifting musical to listen to, with Billy Porter et al. Fantastic cast!
