I'd at least hope they didn't spend millions of dollars on this name change... "Army Strong" was bad enough of a campaign. /Army SMASH!

Inside the Magic has a great first look inside Hogsmeade Village!

Now every time I see a porcelain deer (which is strangely often) I laugh out loud. WHYYYY, Drew?! WHYYYY?! And am I the only one who thinks Casey is starting to look a little bit like Alan Rickman?

My new quote of the week.

That's it, I remember now. They were on a flight to Japan in like 2006 to visit Eejanaika, and their plane crashed. They were stuck on some random island, and that's where they met Jeff Johnson, in the form of a large black smoke. Wait, am I remembering that right? Forgot when Elissa decided to become the new protector of the island, because the alternative was making it to Fuji-Q safely.

Taxi service would likely be your best bet. Normally I'd recommend the GO Transit system between Toronto locations, but it seems like too short a distance for them to service. (Mind you, that's assuming you get a hotel close to the park.) As far as hotels, I'd recommend Monte Carlo Inn & Suites. Still a couple of miles from Wonderland, but it was quite a pleasant stay during Behemoth Bash... and as it turns out, it was the same hotel that TPR booked for their few busloads o' Bashers as well. Best of luck.

Excellent article here about the finale, as well as some very good points about the series as a whole: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20313460_20387946,00.html Also a great article on Cracked regarding LOST-themed food ideas. http://www.cracked.com/blog/23-awesome-food-ideas-for-your-lost-finale-party/ Excerpt:

Ah, that's the clue I needed. ^^ + ^ I'm dual citizenship, so maybe that counts as a minimal defense.

Unless they're adding the [rings] to the carousel... meh.

I'm not really sure what you're getting at here. Haven't the Ottawa Senators been... well, the Ottawa Senators, since at least before the NHL became the main hockey league in the 1920s'? Or did the Sens move to a different city briefly then move back? /Don't know my league history well enough

Ottawa hasn't won since the first (I think) "official" NHL year in 1927.

Maybe they'll sell potion that gives happy endings. /Though butterbeer is non-alcoholic...

^ The banner on the left said "Fireball"; when I was there yesterday, the projections were faded and the letters backwards, but still there. For further reference, the new re-rerouted DD queue passes right next to Dervish & Banges, the joke shop (I think... haven't read the books in a while). From what I could see, there was also a music store (just a front) and a little bit of Ollivander's visible as well. Wish I could say I had pics, but as is stated above, they're being very careful about this; found that out the hard way when I rounded the first corner and in the first half-second of getting out the camera got "informed". These guys are good. Hearing the John Williams score playing softly through the line was excrutiating in terms of "I want this open right the hell now"! EDIT: Facepalm. Dervish & Banges is more of a "regular" shop whereas Zonko's is the joke shop. I used to know that...

Scott just died a little inside.

I follow these last two to the letter, especially the first (often against many people's unvoiced insistence, I'm sure)! All of the advice in here is great for PTR's.

All I ask is that some "Elissa White" Easter egg in the DVD lead to a featurette of the Parque Espana Escalator Ride™. That or show Kinzel raising the soda prices to $3.50 and becoming confused when the bot-guests stop buying it. "This game is completely unrealistic!"

Chicago = love. Thanks for posting.

^Absolutely this. Back when I played minor hockey I'd watch Coach's Corner on HNIC every Saturday night for highlights and pointers.

They already have a 50's section; I stayed there last August! Like many, I'm glad to see them finally using the buildings across the lake... of course now it's more of a permanent Pop Half-Century.

Fixed that for you. Kidding aside, great game tonight. Haven't been able to watch much hockey at college (in Florida, no less) so this was a good one to return to the game with! Personally I'm hoping for a Habs win just so my friend doesn't call all depressed.

YOUR DOIN IT WRONG And I'm glad to see the faces of the asshats you served justice to.

Wasn't that impressed with Seaport Pizza, either. Manta, however... I'm not nearly as big of a fan of positive-G's as negative, but it still holds my #1 Orlando coaster spot regardless. Awesome TR.

Rode it with Robb and Co. during Behemoth Bash. Looks a lot more impressive than it rides, and I can actually recall many people that night surprised that it was open at all!

What about the Toilet-Bombing Heart-Molester? http://www.cracked.com/blog/fastfood-meals-for-failures

Big points for Canadaland!
