It's been a LONG week. I started my new job Wednesday, then E's theater performance was Thursday night, after which we had to get her packed for Italy. So she got home around 11 from theater, we stayed up until 1 or so packing, then I had to get up at 6 to shower and get everything ready for the kids for school and me for my 2nd day of work. Got home at 7 and E had another performance for theater, though she'd lost her voice, so they had to teach her solo to Lotte, but she was able to sing it for the performance by resting her voice a la Sheldon (Yes, she used a voice app) until the performance. Then they had the after party for the theater kids and she got home at 1am (DH picked her up.) and we finished the rest of the packing that we hadn't been able to do before because I didn't have the laundry done. COPIOUS amounts of laundry in the last 2 days!! And then she had to be at the school ready to go at 6:45 this morning, so we had to get up at 5:45 so she could shower and we could pack all the last minute stuff like her brush, toothbrush, etc. So it's been not a lot of sleep and a lot of rushing around. But, this morning, she is off to Italy and I'm stuck here at home.

Dude just rode Tron with a perfect GoPro stream.
They should just rename the ride “Tronstormer” for how short it is…!!!!!

You wouldn’t want it any longer in length.

The position you must assume to ride TRON is awkward and uncomfortable and after a couple minutes (load, launch, ride, unload) your body is ready to be free from the restraints.

Better a short ride that is super fun (which it is!) than a longer one which causes pain or discomfort.

Sorry, but…
“This ride is short enough to keep you from being in more awkward, uncomfortable pain and discomfort than you already are” just doesn’t sound like appealing advertising for an attraction, to me anyway…!!!!!

Bursting in here with a request for @Tony the Tigger and any other South Floridians.

On account of our middle niece/godchild graduating from FAU the first week of May, my hubby and I will be celebrating our 37th anniversary in SoFla. Flying into West Palm, staying at the Renaissance in Boca. Will have rental car, and not afraid to use it. Seeking suggestions for a restaurant for our anniversary dinner, from “nice” to “quite nice” without breaking the bank. We’re ok with $300 or so for a meal for the two of us (including wine)— we live in NYC, after all.

Just don't go there when the Gulf of Mexico comes rushing in.

Unlikely in May, but thanks for the advice.

Spoiler: Picard spoilers

Damn, that scene was damn emotional.
Still wonder how the old lady will fare against a much powerful better armed and way never fleet.

Spoiler

That was the temporary First Officer in Best of both Worlds when Picard became Locutus. She was Rinker's First Officer when he was Captain.

Star Trek: Picard (Spoilers)

Another thing I forgot to mention. I feel that Picard needs to pay so much money for its original actors that they had to skim in VFX. The Titan was supposed to have the most diverse crew at the time (Alien wise) with more than 50% being non humans. Yet we see more diversity in Discovery by a...

There is something I can tell you about the ride. I saw the Paging Mr. Morrow video on Tron when the ride had a soft opening. His leg gotten bruised and hurt really bad from the restraint. I'm sure his size played a factor on the bruising. That being said, even if you are skinnier than Page Mr. Morrow, those restraints would be causing existing issues grief based on what I saw.

How this coasters 's position is you basically have to have you kneel. If you have to take shots for your knees like my dad has to, this is not the ride for you. When it comes to theme parks, my dad has to use a scooter.

The knees of his really got bad about 6 to 8 years ago. Dad did not the position he saw on the video and felt the ride would cause his knees grief for multiple days.

Very true on the position. The video I've seen on it is a turn off for me.

I have a bad left hip, knees are not in the best shape and calf muscles can act up on me. I have problems getting up for chairs, couches, and rides at times without being in a uncomfortable position. Based on what I mentioned, me on Tron is a bad idea.

FYI - A few of the trains have a disability car at the end where guests ride upright, like Big Thunder Mtn. This ensures that guests with medical or size issues may still be able to ride. Simply mention to the Cast Member at the load zone you’d like “The Rover” and you’ll be directed to the proper place to wait.

There are regular seats in the back section of a couple trains so you could still ride it and wait for those seats. I guess I should have kept reading as Tuvalu beat me to this info!
