The Arthur ride looks amazing, and is a great addition to the park! Can't wait to see what the future holds for this park.

I would love to see what people are making. I've been slowly trying to learn it, but would to get some inspiration!

The trains look really nice! Someday I'd love to visit this park.

I've ridden the one at Kings Island (also my home park), and came away feeling that the experience was just ok. The initial "launch" is definitely they best part, the rest of the ride was actually a little violent. It was worth the experience though. I agree. The launch is pretty great, but then you end up getting whipped around after that.

Gotta love the north end! Definitely the 'unique' part of the strip.

^ I just had the oddest experience tonight at KFC. There was a homeless looking guy lurking around outside. He approaches me and starts giving me a sob story about his mom kicking him out, no money, needs a ride to downtown, etc. I don't know if it's true or not, so I ask if he wants some food from KFC and that I'd go in to get it. He says no, he needs a ride to downtown. I offer him money to take the bus and he's insistent he needs a ride in my car. I'm with my mom and my 1 year old so there is no way that's happening. Even if they weren't there, that's not happening. He keeps saying I swear I just need a ride. Then he goes, "I promise I'm normal, you can even handcuff me if you want to." As if that's not weird enough, he then pulls out a pair of handcuffs!! At that point I said here's some change, take the bus and then drove out of there!

The Luxor in Las Vegas built diagonal elevators to move guests to the rooms in the upper levels of the pyramid 20ish years ago. It probably wouldn't be all that much of a stretch 20 years later to apply that concept to ride vehicles. There's also the St. Louis Arch! I'm just so excited for the future of this park. It really is the best park in the world.

Looks like we'll be getting a Dunkin Doughnuts right next to Amy's work. Not a huge fan of their doughnuts, but I really like their sandwiches! Also, we may be getting a Panera here. I'm really excited for that, but we'll see!

I'm super excited to see the update for GMR. It was my first Disney job, and even in 1999 it was severely outdated!

That game does look good. I really want to get it, but I still need to get a WiiU first! I'm hoping they get a special edition gold one for Zelda. If they do, I'm definitely getting one.

I'm heading down to Disneyland in less than two weeks! It'll be a lot more fun with Jacob now that he's a tiny bit older. I don't think we'll do the storybook boats and he wiggles like nothing else, but the animal cages on Casey Junior should work!

I still don't understand all the complaints about the christmas decoration changes. It seems to me that anything Disney removes suddenly becomes the most important and amazing thing ever, and by removing it, the entire park is forever ruined.

Saw Exodus and Hobbit this past little bit. Both were good, but nothing amazing. Going to see Unbroken next. I read the book and really enjoyed it. I'm taking my Japanese mom with me, so hopefully it won't be awkward like when we saw Pearl Harbor together.

Hershey Kisses with Almonds and Sees Candies.

I'm just jealous of how many parks people on the east coast have! Within a 4 hour drive I have 2 parks. Within 9 hours I have 3 major parks plus LA.

This ride is looking more and more impressive every day. I'm glad it's relatively close so that I'll be able to ride it!

Those lights are definitely going to add to the nausea! I'm getting sick just watching it. That means that Amy will love it!

It's been too long since I've been on a cruise. I really need to move near a port city.

Next show for me is Memphis in February. I've heard good things about it so I'm hoping it's good!

Even 5 minutes for Ghostrider is too long to wait.

We have some snow in Tahoe, but not much, and it's the terrible Sierra Cement at a lot of places. I'm hoping we have a huge storm soon so I can go snowboarding. I'm not going to spend a ton of money for just ok conditions.

Viper backwards seems like the worst idea possible. Actually, riding Viper normally is the worst idea ever. Granted, on the very rare occasion you can get an ok ride, but generally I avoid it like the plague.

That really does look great! I just hope it's as good as it looks!

I remember years ago I went to the park on a day like that. They also had a free Weird Al concert that evening so we braved through the weather. Ended being a fun day, but freezing.

And then as you grow older you'll be saying the opposite! Torso, stop growing, legs, get taller so I'm not so fat!
