Lagoon Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Twister II's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
That top photo looks great, and probably works great as a screen saver! And those elk definitely look like they've noticed you, there. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Looks like a great assortment of crap. -
^ I also remembered, Legally Blonde had that cute little "gift giving scene" ("It's a shampoo AND conditioner, in one!") in it, while Elle is studying, missing Christmas and Thanksgiving and everything else seasonal. Radio City's Holiday Spectacular was a kind of 'given' to me. But hey - it counts!

^ I have no idea what the difference is. But it's still cool to see all those markers around, there! -
Listening to the end tracks of "Everybody's Talking 'Bout Jamie" A London Hit Musical. On screen in late October. About a kid who wants to grow up and be a Big Drag Queen. Ah, these kids today. Great cast cd. Great parts, including the lead. Worth a listen through.

Coming this late October. The screen adaptation of the London hit musical... Awesome West End Original Cast CD, by the way. (o;

THIS, is what Walt Disney used to do, with major attractions like Pirates and Haunted Mansion in DL. "Keep it busy, so they'll have to come back again, to see it all," he was (sort of) quoted as saying. Same with Small World too, I believe. And this one makes re-rides even better! p.s. "I have read," that for all that one can see and hear per car, the third car offers the most advantage of seeing and hearing (most of) everything in each scene. What I've read. Any support to this claim?

Hmmm. This reminds me... How many Broadway Musicals have "something Christmas-y" in them, like "Mame"? Or are actually about Christmas? Like ACS. Mame Here's Love (based on the Macy's Parade) Elf A Christmas Story (duh) RENT The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas ("Hard Candy Christmas") Mean Girls (the talent show) The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (of course!) So many shows to remember and figure out, lol. Mean Girls

^ But you loved every minute of it, didn't ya? i.e. Elissa: "Best - 'Trackless Ride' - Ever". -
^ Almost. It was for a roast chicken. Actually it was for a "slow cooked" chicken in the slow cooker. Turned out really good. The Jelly Belly jar and the bowl of mini mandarin oranges, were not part of this recipe, LOL!

Here's one from the first TPR China Tour, 2012... Yep, we didn't care what we did, on that tour. I'm in the middle of this. And this - is Bjorn - on the right.

I just came back from shopping, a couple of blocks away. And I have to say, the whole set up of queues, space markers, people watching out for each other....in our liquor store, our Super Valu, the Postal Station for lottery tickets ... on and on, we weave and dodge each other. Actually pretty quietly too, without too much "impatience in the air". But it's like you've entered (Alice In) Wonderland, and are playing the wierdest Human Chess/Checkers Board Game Ever! A Danish supermarket. Local shopping spots here, usually use straight line duct tape marks.

The Official TPR Video Thread!
Nrthwnd replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ Mmmm. I really would have liked to ride that, myself. Such a unique way of creating a coaster ride. -
^ It's in Japan....somewhere. Here's another one.... (EDIT To Add! We just got a near 1000 Bonus Miles added to our AirMiles account! Could be a CoVid thing. We're not sure about it, as it's listed as "Annual". Who knows? This may be a new thing they were making changes to, anyway, before CoVid- 19 started.) (DOUBLE EDIT!!! I also bought $20 worth of lottery and scratch tickets, but only had to pay $10 from last wins I got. And.... won myself $18 cash and a free $3 ticket! Life can be good, in little way$.) I love this one. Very Fairy Tale -ish.

Playland/PNE (Vancouver) Discussion Thread

^ That's true. I'm also {secretly} glad, that David paid for my Seniors Pass this year ~Holiday Gift~ and it cost him only $48 Cdn. for it. So neither of us is losing too much, out of this year's Pass, heh. RETRO PNE: Me on the Game of Thrones' ....uh.... Throne. (o; From the 2014 Exhibit Tour (and free @ PNE), before Season 3 of GoT started. -
Dollywood Discussion Thread

^ Oh, that's sad. Has he already proposed, now that the trip is cancelled? Maybe you could all conference phone (?) and figure out something else to do? Sorry, but it's just sad when these are the important things that get interrupted and/or cancelled, by this.... medical problem. -
TPR 2019 Coaster Poll Results!
Nrthwnd replied to A.J.'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm very glad Coaster is polyamorous. Number eleven is fantastic and fully deserved. We're Number 11! We're Number 11! July 12, 2019. Last Season, I rode Coaster over 66+ times. (I look half-crazed.) Matching and exceeding my (then) current age #... This year? Who knows? -
Kind of ironic, when all stage productions/tours are being postponed/cancelled nowadays.... Happy World Theatre Day!

From the "Isn't It Ironic" Dept... Happy World Theatre Day!

Playland/PNE (Vancouver) Discussion Thread
Nrthwnd replied to Nrthwnd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ I'm hoping Playland would do "something" for the Season Pass Holders. But - the Season only runs from (usually) May to PNE Time, last two weeks of August. Then, if we're lucky, after Labor Day weekend it opens for 1-2 more weekends, then shuts down to get ready for Fright Nights. And then after that, end of October, that's it for Playland's Season. Really not much time it's actually open. I think they were quoted at saying around 80+ days that Playland is open every year. So.... who knows if they're going to offer anything to patrons, pass holders and non-? Or, they'll just open in July and run the Season "us usual," until PNE time, etc. For myself, it's all about Coaster and hoping it'll be running regularly, and not with the hiccups it had, last year. -
