  1. I remember when Test Track got its current overlay. It was only a couple years after Tron Legacy came out, so at the time, it seemed a lot like they were trying to make a Tron ride without actually making a Tron ride. Now that they have an actual Tron ride at WDW, I guess they feel they can rework Test Track again. And it sounds like they're going nostalgic with the references to World of Motion in the press release, so that's exciting!
  2. My friends and I were having trouble finding a pizza place open late at night in Green Bay last month, and we ended up going with Toppers Pizza, and omg, it was SO GOOD. We got one of their "Wisconsin Curds 'n' Bacon" pizzas, and omg, the idea of fried cheese curds with bacon on pizza was a freaking stroke of GENIUS.
  3. About a half a year after I posted this, I got myself a new phone. Now I'm on a Samsung Galaxy A51 (non-5g) and loving it! I'm on the ACP/Lifeline plan now through Life Wireless (Pure Talk); they use AT&T towers, so I've not had any kind of hiccups in moving myself over, which is good, because Straight Talk is now owned by Verizon and my mom and stepdad just had to upgrade their phones & move to a new service (US Cellular) because Verizon just does. not. work. here. They both got Samsung Galaxy A14 5g. They're still fumbling around with them, getting used to much newer phones, but I personally am impressed with them and the lady at Walmart said they were the best-selling model of phone all year so far.
  4. Most shows in Branson start at 7pm, so the park closes with the assumption that a big chunk of the crowd is going to be headed to shows.
  5. I had to look it up, but apparently "thoosie" is slang for "roller coaster enthusiast."
  6. Well, if they go with Intamin, it might not be so unreliable? I don't know how Infinity Falls is doing compared to Mystic River Falls. Mostly, I just thought it could be an interesting idea to convert FotN into a raft ride with a drop similar to MRF and IF.
  7. Omg, that Coca Cola marketplace is so cute! And I absolutely love all the new painting and palms and what-not by Mamba. Coasters was always SO out of place; I'm excited to hear they're giving it a makeover! Thanks, @RailBlazer for the report/pics. I sadly haven't had a chance to be at the park since 2014, when I was working at the airbrush stand. So much has been changed and updated since then; it's gonna feel like a whole new park next time I go! Oh, also... the closing of Monsoon is... interesting. Not surprising, 'cause it's been pretty rundown for years now. But what will be interesting is seeing what they decide to do with that area. Will they use it to put in a new slide(s) for Oceans of Fun? Or maybe they'll convert Fury of the Nile into a Mystic River Falls-type ride? I could see that happening someday.
  8. I'm pretty sure FITH is just too far gone structurally to be just refurbed. That building is a mess.
  9. I like the ride page they've made for FITH. Tells the story of the ride, has pics of it being built!, and offers wallpapers as well as audio files of the Red Flanders dialogue and of the theme song! Wish I had the money to get the refillable mug; my main focus with collecting SDC stuff has been mugs, so it'd go great with my collection.
  10. I know that satire is hard to identify nowadays, but this is definitely satire. It links to disneydining as the source, and disdining links to mousetrapnews, which on its About page clearly states it is a satirical news site.
  11. I live in the middle of nowhere right now, so no skyline, but Kansas City used to be my skyline and hopefully will be again soon. Here's a gorgeous photo from my favorite KC photographer on Flickr, KC Mike Day:
  12. Just watched a video of the new train ride... Thankfully, my feelings were wrong. I'm not sure who is voicing the Conductor, but it's a really friendly, kind voice.
  13. ....do you think it's possible they've used Respeecher and the Conductor is Walt Disney?
  14. Found a plat map site. Here are the areas SDC owns/leases. The park proper is in the outlined box; other SDC holdings in that area are shaded. And then here's the plot SDC owns where Celebration City was. Definitely a lot of land to work with!
  15. I'm back down to 260lb! Lost 5.4 over the course of the three weeks I've been out of town visiting my sister and fam.
  16. There are definitely some schools that are already in session; I know my nieces in Mississippi went back last week.
  17. That bit about not being sure what killed her has me kinda... ugh. Like, okay, so what if she did have a heart attack on the ride? That couldn't be the cause of her falling out of a freaking roller coaster! So, yeah, could her literal physical cause of death be a heart attack? Sure, but that doesn't erase the fact that a person got thrown out of a roller coaster. Also, here's a newer article that details what part of the coaster the accident happened on. I've run it through Google Translate, so the URL will take you to the English translation. https://www-swr-de.translate.goog/swraktuell/rheinland-pfalz/koblenz/toedlicher-sturz-achterbahn-klotten-100.html?_x_tr_sl=ur&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
  18. Really? Is that a Covid thing? 'Cause I know Wildfire had a single rider entrance - you just go in through the exit.

  20. Hmmm. Are we sure it's a coaster? I remember a few years ago there was a survey they sent out with different theme ideas for an interactive ride and one of them had to do with bears. I have at least one pic saved from when that came around: Here's the other image I remember seeing: https://www.screamscape.com/html/dolly2020_4.htm
  21. Strange, but it makes sense in terms of there having been a nice swath of open land right there; gotta put it somewhere. Also, I looked up the place and honestly, I'd be willing to stay there if it meant being in Hong Kong! But then, I'm a homebody, so being stuck in a small bedroom for up to a week or more (depending on exposure or lack thereof) wouldn't be much different from my life right now, lol. And I'd have Disneyland to look forward to!
  22. I've been there once! It was a decade ago, though, but very nice. We got a condo that fit our whole group of 6 adults and a child very comfortably. It was clean and well-kept. It was in the winter, though, so no chance to try out their pools and other amenities. It's so close to the park, too, that it's super super convenient. Like, coming at SDC from the south on Indian Pt Rd gives you way less traffic than coming from the north off of 76. Oh, also, I highly recommend the Saloon Show. I don't know how it is now, but I've loved it since I started going to the park as a kid in the 90s and have always enjoyed it.
  23. Is there some kind of special price fluctuation for Six Flags tickets? 'Cause I coulda sworn just a day or two ago the one-day tickets for GAm were only $34.99, but now they're $49.99? I'm looking through the calendar on their website, and it seems like the prices fluctuate on a day-to-day basis. Are they pricing based on estimated attendance?
  24. Oh geez. I hadn't even heard of Eisenstadt. Just did a quick read up on it and... oh my GOD. If that was overturned, so many women with PCOS (myself included; I get the depo shot to help manage it) would be left in the lurch because of being unmarried. Mother of god.
