The premier looked like fun and happy to see them doing some tie in's with Legoland Florida. When I first heard about this movie and saw a poster for it I cringed. But after laughing at the trailers and hearing good reviews it's some how become on my must see list.

Loch Ness Monster - BGW

Post number 2600. Wooooo

A little back ground on this adventure. My friend and coworker has been wanting to get a tattoo covered up for quite some time. She finally found an artist in New York she wanted to do the job and after getting a consultation set up asked me last minute to join her in the journey. Since I have only been to New York for a few hours before the North East Tour a few years ago I jumped at the chance to spend some time in the city. My other friend joined in on the journey and together we had an amazing 36 hours in New York and accomplished a lot of the touristy stuff I'd been anxious to do. We took the Bolt Bus none stop from Union Station in DC to Penn Station in NY, which took roughly 4 hours. The seats on the bus were a bit short and not super comfortable. The plus was the bus was clean, leather seats, outlets, wifi and for $23 dollars round trip we couldn't complain. The cost for all 3 of us was less than the tolls to go round trip. Plus the stress of not driving and dealing with a car in New York was also well worth the slight discomfort in the last hour of each ride. The goal on this trip was to do some of the standard touristy things. On the list was see a broadway show, Time's Square, Rockefeller Center, The Today Show, FAO Schwarz, Pizza, see our companies store in SoHo. We easily accomplished everything on the list and had a great time doing such. Being that it was cold, even snowed, and it was January nothing was crowded and we had an easy time getting around. Also a huge thanks to Fran for being an awesome and gracious tour guide while we were there! Getting a personal tour from a New Yorker was great. So thank you, thank you, and thank you! Enough yammering, here are just a few photos of our fun, and touristy trip. Every room should always come with a nightcap! Statue of a muscular hottie, or something of importance? Or does it even matter? Fran made me take a picture, thanks tour guide! Will have to go back after the renovations are done. Rockefeller center *check* Now that's an erect building! Radio City *check* Surprisingly I didn't burst into flame when I stepped foot in the church. Nice to see the MAC box not under construction. Here we see Sea lions and the wild human sharing a habitat… impressive no? I had to wonder, is there really a troll in central park? Loved seeing the distinct line of park and city. We didn't take a horse carriage ride, but I do hope they stick around since the city wants to ban them. It was at this point I had finished falling in Love with NY. In case you need to take care of business while doing business, the Peninsula has you covered. Getting out of bed was hard for some of us…. Good morning New York! In case you have an Evil Messenger need. No one sitting by you on the NY subway, there must be something wrong with you. Lunch before leaving was at Parm near our store in Soho. This was their house made mozzarella with prosciutto. It was heaven. Chicken Parmesan and Baked Ziti. Molly's cupcakes!!!! Yum! The left is cookie dough, the right Cake batter! SOOO DELICIOUS! Go there! My partners in Crime ready for the first subway ride. The off season meant getting these seats 45 minutes before show time no problem. While I can see how this musical might not be for some, I did absolutely love it! I've listened to the soundtrack since it first came out but never had the chance to see the show until this trip. Needless to say it lived up to the years of wanting to see it. One bright day, in the emerald city! So much will happen after this drink. Ready for me first on broadway music, with a double in hand. Life is good! Times square, it reminded me of being back in Akihabara, just not as cool. Needless to say, Times Square *check* And the proof I was there. Wouldn't be New York without a sleep deprived buzzed slice at 10:30pm. Mr. White pizza and a cider, yes! It seems like all pizza in New York is at least decent no matter where you get it. "Leave me alone Shawn" Is what expression says. Mmm Mmm Good. The face of we are finally eating after being on the go for 8 hours! The posh elevator ride to…. And in case you ever wanted to know, this is what $100 worth of Martini's looks like. *They were actually delicious and well poured* This amazing view of 5th Ave. It was so clear and nice out, even though it was at freezing if not below. This was all from the bar on top of the Peninsula hotel. I do suggest going up and checking it out if you ever want a small decedent and relaxing thing to do. If you can't tell, there are a ton of buildings in New York. And some are quite tall. And Chocolates! And hand dipped strawberries! Seriously these we are delicious!

Hydra - Dorney Park

Wake Up! - Funker Vogt

Very curious about this project. Either way it'll be the perfect reason to get back to the park and pick up the newer credits I am missing there.

I'm going home - Rocky Horror Picture Show

^ The Brandine stuff has been hilarious! Can't wait for the dialogue when the kids start to show up Have had fairly good luck with the wheel so far, and need 3 more items to have gotten them all. I am guessing it will be in irritating repetitive territory from now on though.

Excalibur - Funtown Splashtown

Rumor Has it - Adele

Boulder Dash

Seriously can't wait to finally ride a Mega Lite. Great photos Hanno!

Mine would be the Ghost Rider side pannel I won at WCB. 2nd favorite would be my Haunted Mansion 49th anniversary Merchandise.

Tokyo Disney Sea hands down. The attention to detail everywhere is mind blowing and really can't be topped.

^ I'd read that too, can't wait to have the whole red neck family going on.

Spent 4 doughnuts to speed up the end of the 24 hour task. The wheel is going to be extremely irritating.... I also bought Brandine and was sad she doesn't have any sound bites.

For some reason I am really craving margaritas now. Great looking addition.

Phantoms Revenge gave us some great and hilarious rides in the rain this past summer. Though my top pick coaster to ride in the rain is still Thunderhead.

This park has to be one of the most interesting and prettiest locations, hope to one day see it in person.
