thank goodness they didn't go with "Wind Breaker: the Farting Coaster" (tho that's already covered elsewhere in the world ) [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

OMG. . no spoilers from me, but easily one of the best season finales of ANY show, EVER. just one "HOLY CRAP!!!!" moment after another. spectacular.

What a charming little park. thanks for the pictures and the trip report. (edit: removing the political comment, although I stand by it, TPR isn't really the place. But seriously, thanks for the pics, since I won't be going to NC anytime in the near future)!

Fried Cheese on a Stick, from Totem Treats, near the slide. and of course, Ice Cream from the Old Mill are MUST dos.

ask the Dippin Dots guy. . he ALWAYS knows the skinny!

I take it you didn't eat at the park? or ride the Chair Lift? or do the Museums (Knoebel's, Mining, Carousel)? or play any Fascination? or go on: the Carousel, Paratrooper, Flyers, Whip, Flume, Cosmotron, or Bumper Cars (so I've heard, we skipped em)? How about the evening Train ride into the woods? that's the only reasons I can imagine you didn't enjoy this spectacular place.

THIS just happened today too, if y'all missed it: http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/24/travel/stonewall-inn-first-lgbt-national-monument/index.html

we're in Tampa in 2 weeks (for a couple of days at BGT, and then a day trip to SeaWorld). anyone gonna be in either place that wants to meet up?

I can go back through all 889 pages and never see Apollo's described as having a rattle once. You can call it anything else you want but it does not have a rattle. now Alpengeist on the other hand.. . .

Food in the park (in particular Busch parks, or Knoebel's) gets a pass, and I'll eat what I want. I just consider the walking the exercise, and go back on my workout regime when I get back home. however, sodas remain a NO-NO, and alcoholic drinks are a rare treat (the chocolate martini at Hershey Lodge was worth it). I drink only water during the day, and that seems to keep me even.

"traver circle swing". . . now stuck in my head to the tune of Shinyribs "Donut Taco Palace" [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

looks FANTASTIC. and love they kept the backwards portion. . works beautifully during that set piece with "Let it Go"

great report and fantastic pics. thanks a lot. .you made me hungry!

the ship looks beautiful -- both quaint and elegant at the same time. and the excursions. . .man, I wish I was there with ya! thanks for the pics, wonderful trip report!

um. .you do realize that he is already a "replacement actor" the original Chekhov is Walter Koenig . . so while it's terrible that this young actor has died, they absolutely are going to re-cast for the next film (the one about to come out is in post production, so they won't refilm any scenes, but likely will dedicate the film to him). but bottom line? a Star Trek film (based on the original series, rather than Next Gen, or Voyager, or DS9, or etc. . . ), simply can't have no Chekhov on the bridge.

I want my ass to fit in Rollercoasters I'm a ready for Busch Gardens Tampa in 3 weeks !

re: Stephan: swiped to post on my wall

Fantastic report. and as others have said: TRON!

I look super sleepy (as noted elsewhere, i started getting IMs at 4am that morning ). . . but yeah, it was a TMNT. . who doesn't wanna pose with him??? and thanks!

From this past weekend's River City Comic Expo, in Little Rock AR. I'm on the right. . if I look tired, it's because this is Sunday, and I was up all night on Saturday.

heh.. guess it's just American Media that are thick then

yeah..I caught that live in my Hotel Room on Sunday night. it was beautiful, and kind of stunning that some media didn't "get" what he was saying there, and instead reported he was saying it to his wife. . .

So what do you think of your theory now? I think what they went with was incredibly underwhelming, and means that our time in Braavos was pretty much a waste. sure, Arya trained as an assassin, but she didn't give up here name, and is really no better off then she was before. bleh. my theory was better

but THIS sums it up beautifully, and I've shared it on my FB. Take a read, I think you'll agree with all of it: http://johnpeart.org/2016/06/14/to-my-heterosexual-friends-orlando-shootings
