I believe Robb and Elissa are....... NOT in Europe - hah.

^ Now, now, don't go teasing us there, Ms.E^ (altho I am more than happy to put a 'plug' in for 2008 and TDL's 25th Happy B)

Hah hah - good one Phishy. My scare involves any time a coaster stops on a hill-climb-chainy-thingy. My worst happened at (believe it or not) The Beast, on it's second hill. We were stopped several feet before the top, and the announcement came on about a train needing extra loading time. THEN my agoraphobia kicked in Big Time, and I thought the whole train I was on was slowly going to tip off the track! Or fall backwards, into an eventual wreck, hee hee. Isn't it great how the mind works?

Winchester draft - well, you asked, LOL.

Good on you thunder to at least help her out. Bruises heal up, slowly but surely. Wear them with pride knowing you helped someone who couldn't do it for themself.

Got it - When I was Seven - many of YOU out there in coasterland didn't...exist.

Wow - that was quite the EuroTour, guys. And yes, I think you kept some of The Best for the last part of it all. Sweet. Which now makes me wonder - Disneyland Paris, Parc Asterix.... Hmmm. Start of another 'tour' in there somewhere? And by 2007/08 the DLP Studios will Finally have their ToT and the Toon Studios add-on... Hmmm. And then by those years, more coasters built... other places, lol. Excellent Adventure Robb. That's the kind of touring I want to do. With happy, out-of-their-minds coasterfolk, LOL. Robb - Elissa - Dan - Joey Thanks for the ride. You may now unlock your seatbelts...

Oops - it's DenDen huh? Silly old bear I is......

BenBen I still think you're the cutest woofy I've seen and honestly? I really would enjoy yout enjoyment of coastering thru your eyes. Really. Truly. (o:

I miss Visionarium, because it was unique and brilliantly filmed and had a real plot to it. Now....Buzz Lightyear? Ok. I want to get back to Indy Coaster, now that's its' running forwards again. Backwards was too intense and somewhat hurting. And seeing the loop ahead of you, is more fun, hmm? The Mansion is The One That Works, even if you don't understand French. Same goes for the Pirates/Caribbean. And landscaping, landscaping. Last visit back in October, I spent one actual full day NOT riding anything and just enjoying the park itself. I know that's not possible for some tourers, but it does make a difference 'cause even DLP has it's intense moments, and lineups and things-that-can-go-wrong dept. Arcades were great for cooler days, and the Liberty Arcade actually was a part of a long (mostly) covered walkway that got you all the way to the back of Fantasyland w/o having to trek the same route as the crowds. Veeerrrry sneaky. (o: Great photoshoot Robb - I miss DLP and can't wait to get back there ASAP. And I think this time, tho, I will add in Parc Axterix for a day trip.

And the voting section for the name is gone now. Or, so it appears to (not) be. And yes, definitely deserving of a t-shirt if it gets that name, LOL. The HumD, heh heh.

That was great. You are great. And I hope that things are pulling thru better over there for you and yours. AND I wish you were on the UK tour with us. Can I adopt you???

Hmmm. I always wondered where everybody was able to change the words above their avatar. Hmmm. Well, since I seem to be the only one who's (so I've been able to figure out) using this avatar how about changing it's caption (bye for now, Donkey) to "Coasta-Hippie" ... for now. Santa would be ok with that, wouldn't he? Hoho. Thanks muchly Ms.E - Cheers! bill/NW/CH

Mmmmmmm - so NICE to have some peoples taking care of the organizing, etc.etc.etc. of UK2oo6tour - can't feel Mmmmmmm enough, lol.

Couldn't resist being on PAGE 100!!! Who hoo! Nice weather today. Some sort of solo violin thing, on the radio. CBC workers are on strike across Canada. So we get 'generic classical music'. Not bad - could be worse, with deadair deadair deadair....

Double ARIES (birth and ascending signs) born in the Year of The Snake. (ssssss)

The last night I was in DL, a Sunday, in early 1996, me and my friend got stuck (with others) in Splash Mountain. For us, it was just before the 'dip & buzzbuzz' as we used to call it, lol. Eventually, announcements were made to us, a CM went to every log and gathered us all up and we got to traverse those little pathways in and around such Disney attractions. Eventually made our way to (literally) the back door of the show building with stairs leading to ground level. It was wierd seeing the back of the building which held the attraction inside of it. and if we looked left as we went down the stairs, we saw the Haunted Mansion bldg. too and to the far right was the (then) Country Bear Jamboree bldg. Just quietly odd-looking, in the falling gentle rain...

wow - and i just got to know him for a bit, since connecting with your site. that sucks. hmmm. sorry to hear it, and know it now. hope you both do okay in the next while. take care of each other.

When I was seven........geez when WAS I seven???

My "Future Park of Choice" is for me, for now - Tokyo Disney Sea. With TDL thrown in as the bonus park, heh heh. And with that in mind - I am planning maybe a fall 2008 trip to Tokyo to go and be a part of TDL's 25th Anniversary year. And see what they do for Halloween, too. Then again - few years away - things could change, hmmm?

I am hoping - that if Expedition Everest is wildly successful, that there might be the off-chance the attraction could be cloned in DLP, in the Adventureland section! If the Indy Coaster was removed - the land parcel for building it could/should be as big as the 'original' at AK. And by the way - Robb is right on $ about the way a Disney park is put together. And to be honest? It's really more than the number of thrill attractions at a Disney Park. The park itself WAS the attraction, used to be th e attraction. Still is to a lot, I know. And I think a number of the US Disney park-goers, should save their Euros up and go to Disneyalnd Paris and see what Disneyland could be like, if they had the space and the landscaping expansiveness. Even Sleeping Beauty Castle is like it's grown up into a tall sleek beautiful princess that it should be, lol. And now it'l be three SleepBeautys to two Cindys in castle iconography, lol. Frontierland uses an amazing backstory to create the entire town, something Disneyland really couldn't do at the time it was built. And the Haunted Mansion is basically, where the original Imagineers wanted it to be, in Frontierland. And there's a HUGE Swiss Family Treehouse as the icon of Adventureland! So whatever is being lost here and there in DL - it seems to be re-imagined and enhanced at DLP. IOA in USF is really one of the very few times, that another non-Disney park has really really worked at putting actual themeing into their lines and queueing areas. And as well everything else a park-goer would want and need. But Disney does it best. And by the way, years and years ago there was rumors and actual newsprint up here in the early 60's that Disney himself was up here in Vancouver to consider location for a Canuck version of..... Didn't pan out later on though, as The Weather put them off. Hah. And now they build covered arcades and walkways through most of their overseas parks. A Disney theme park within several hundred/thousand miles of each other is not so bad a thing. More space for more new attractions to be tried out and created --- yum!

Here's our pride and joy - and generally non-flustered - Camille. Rescued from the SPCA, she literally vogued for us from her (then) cage. Now, after near two years, she's pretty much got our place (and us) in order, lol. Typical relaxation styling. (o:

To EBL - Thanks for the nice - but please step aside - You aren't 'the oldster' on This Ride - Please hit page 3 - and there I be! - And by next June - 53!!! (ah da sweet scent of da poetry, ha cha cha cha cha cha)

Think I found you thru Screamscape.com - a great link, hmmm?
