    Is there a rhyme and a reason?

    I was having a mini discussion (discussionette) with Serena last night and rhyming words with Flamingoland came up. Whenever I rhyme with Flamingoland, I can only come with negative words; bland, stand, remand or dammed. The Serena mentioned Port Aventura... For that, I can only think of...

    Family_Furie take on DLRP

    Last year we planned on going to Europa Park for 40th-birthday-of_furie. It took a lot of arguing and convincing to make it Europa instead of Disney. The park is a better family park in terms of attractions, it's quieter, more efficient and still gorgeous. However, the boiler broke, so we had...

    WTF are you talking about???

    I was thinking about starting this thread a few weeks ago after talking to ECG. Pierre has just reminded me to start it though. Basically, is there anything people say that - while they may think is a common expression - is actually completely WTF? Is a perfect example. I've never heard that...

    How many meals do you have each day?

    Pretty simple :) I know some people often skip breakfast, but other than that, how many "main meals" do you have each day? I always have breakfast and always have. I'm quite a morningy kind of person though so can manage it where others seem to struggle. Then it's always lunch and dinner too...

    Six Flags New Orleans brought back to life (for a bit)

    Wow! Looks great doesn't it? Pity it's just for a film set :lol: Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters has a major scene set in a theme park, so they cleaned up Six Flags New Orleans to film there. Apparently they had to clear out all the wildlife that had moved in. Still, it came back to life...

    Bell's Return

    Okay, I admit it. I only put this news item in here to make Ian feel special when he gets back from Finland. In reality, it's about a fair operator in Oklahoma who was closed down in 2006 (under what seems like bad politics) and who has been given space to put up four kiddie rides somewhere...

    Maurer Skyloop at World Joyland China leaves 11 stranded.

    The Maurer Sohne Skyloop - Clouds of Fairyland - broke down on Friday and the 11 passengers needed to be rescued by a cherry picker. We only heard of this because the 11 were "tourists", so it made national press because one might have been from somewhere important ;) News item...
