Yes, they do -- here it is: Toboggan Racers at Blizzard Beach. Too scary for Minnie.

Forgot about that one. I think I was just thinking of the ones where you end up in a pool of water.

no barrier to prevent the water in? or the water is really THAT high?

There’s two newly formed rivers in my yard, feeding into my driveway.

When this happens, the water rushes so fast and gets high.. the pressure of it pushes beneath the garage door. It doesn’t happen often, and the most frustrating part is I just had 2 new drains, a larger one in the driveway and another one in the grass put in..to prevent it!! This is the first time it has happened since.




I pushed the water back away from the garage, so that part has receded now.. still raining though, I’m going to keep checking on it.

Yeah, I thought the new drains would fix the problem.

I know one thing for sure, T won’t be allowed to golf in the yard anytime soon. He wrecks it in when the grass is wet.. gopher holes everywhere.lol. Can’t see dry land in the near future. I feel like it has been raining forever!

Is it raining badly where you are as well?

Don't hate me, but no. It's barely rained all weekend so far. It's raining right now but lightly.

Lucky!!
Remember that photo I posted of a flooded riverfront a few day ago?
This was that same are yesterday.. even more flooded. The last one the water hadn’t reached the flag pole yet. I can’t even imagine how much it has spread after 24 hours of rain since.

Send an arc please!!

I was 18 months old when we first went to Blizzard Beach. I'm pretty sure I was doing the mat racers at Blizzard Beach by the time I was 5 since that one doesn't dump you in a pool. And of course, we were always at the Beach Club and Boardwalk pools, and then later Hilton Head,
so water slides were always a thing for me. I was in fourth grade when my mom finally agreed to let me go on Summit Plummit. Funny thing, as an adult, I don't care about doing it. I'll go on it if my brother wants to because he usually wants me there to do it with him. But if I have the option, there's a lot of other slides I prefer. Not so much out of fear, but that thing beats you up.

The last time my kids were on Summit it 'hurt' them both, wasn't smooth anymore, the sections of slides they believe were not 100% level with each other where they attached to each other down the slide. Does it seem any better since then?

My kids did the water parks real early too. For DS it was only River and Typoon his first few years. The preschooler area at the time anyhow wasn't bad but Blizzards was awesome for preschoolers. Shrunk down little tyke slides. They both loved it. At the time our passes came with waterparks so even if it was just for a few hours it was a great break from the parks over long vacations and then we usually did putt putt golf, Fantasia and DTD for that park break day. On a whole I would Typhoon better but honestly that sand, well I'm not so fond of it. But adore the wave pool.

This is insane!! I hope it doesn't get up to the level of the businesses!!

Dang it!!! Wish we had target here! I went looking for long-sleeved shirts for DS today and came up empty handed. Not a long sleeved shirt to be found, and he loves Star Wars!

For some reason clearance season seems to be a bit late this year. Spring break is coming up fast and the stores seem to be stuffed still with heavy winter duds. Spring stuff is eek'n in but not a great deal. Normally Target replaces its Valentines area with Summer outdoor wares by the next day. A few things but everything seems to be in slow mo this year.

wow.. thats some really swollen river.
Reminds me of the floods that happened in Paris recently as well.

Seeing the Seine going beyond its boundaries was weird to see (only happened once since the 1900's? unsure about this)

It's more the water beating on you that gets me. The bottom of the slide I don't remember being too rough, but I haven't been in a few summers. My brother and I opted to go to Typhoon Lagoon last time, which I was glad of because I completely forgot about the red slope being down this past year, so my parents said Blizzard Beach was not very good this year. Too much pressure on the others slides from the crowds and not enough to do. Much happier with Typhoon Lagoon doing the wave pool, Crush 'n Gusher, and the new family raft ride, plus the body slides there. It wasn't bad crowd wise either.

Humanga Cowabunga seemed smooth enough when we went on it.

I’ve never seen anything like this outside of hurricane flooding..which didn’t sit for days!
It’s not expected to go down until Wednesday.

We didn't wait for anything beyond a couple of minutes either at Typhoon. I like Typhoon better for their theme of the lazy river. Like anything else when they built Blizzard they fixed some things at the new park with the hindsight of Typhoon still really fresh in their memories.

Cowabunga is the first BIG slide I ever took my son on. Dare Devil. I took him up once we raced. Then he proceeded to get on and off it for the next hour on his own. I sat in the peanut gallery after the first escort.

Oh my, that's a lot larger than I had pictured it!! She must be over the moon!!!

Ha! But I would not doubt some of that happened but guessing more Jews trying to hide or escape Europe during those times. There was also talk of that with some of the mid-east attire for woman and who was really under all that. Many of the older, full and complete nun-gear is so very similar to some of the women's attire from the mid-east.

And yet my MIL was appalled when the nuns at her parish started wearing knee length skirts and a loose fitting jacket with a white blouse. Then again MIL still has a fit that female nurses wear scrubs and not white dresses, white shoes, white hose and little
caps. Like trying to move and lift these patients in wheelchairs or in and out of beds screams lets outfit nurses in dresses.

Funny about the nurse comments, and very true. I know many of them at work, and I recall one of them telling me that just as soon as she graduated from her nursing program at college, she threw out that stupid little white cap thing into the trash. (They all did.) (I assume she probably graduated back in the 70s.) Their attitude was that unless their physician colleagues wore silly white caps, then they wouldn't wear them either!
