Mr. Ferret, I have no idea why I cant see your avatar. I see an empty one.

Same here too, still.

Picked it up at Target. You won’t be disappointed. Actually wish we had a 70” screen to watch it. The animation is just spectacular.

Definitely my favorite Pixar movie, and it’s in my Top 5 of any Disney movie, ever.

I don't know why, but the face down ones (your 2nd photo) freak me out. I never did the one at the water parks as WDW either. Maybe I feel more in control if I'm sitting up.

There's one similar at the original Schlitterbahn down the road in New Braunfels. As I've posted before, we used to go with the kiddos a lot back in the day.
I used to push of the line, and by the time I got to the last hump I could get enough air to get above the side walls...!!!!!!!

Kinda' like this guy, but, higher...!!!

Not only is the animation spectacular, the story was so well developed. It is a shame it did not do better at the box office.

I wasn’t even aware that it didn’t do well! I’m surprised! We loved it, and pretty much everyone I know also went to see it and loved it as well.

That’s disappointing to hear.

I was so busy today, was at the office til 8:30pm. I’ll definitely go buy it tomorrow.

That looks so fun!

The following photo is our only forward facing slide at the water park we frequent most, I wish we had one that “jumped”





These 2 are our favorites. Kiddo waited impatiently to hit 48” for them. He was on cloud 9 once he did!

I've never actually been to a water park...

I can’t like this.

Make sure to visit Soak City when you guys go to KI this summer! They have fantastic kids slides/splash areas/ themed pools.

I have yet to hear about anyone dying of antiperspirants. However, without them many people have died alone.

Your post made me laugh so hard! Thanks!

Hubs broke got home a copy of Coco today. I am looking forward to watching it again. I hope you enjoy it.

I find that with the Olympics coverage, I've been watching all kinds of things that I normally would not bother with. Haven't watched curling, but have enjoyed things like snowboarding, speed skating and biathlon. (I also watch my regular favorites like figure skating, bobsleds, and Giant Slalom and Super G downhill skiing at breakneck speeds!!)

Unfortunately, I didn't watch much of the Olympics this year, but, I remember being comepletely and totally impressed with those downhill skiers during the '76 Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, especially Franz Klammer's beyond amazing gold medal victory run...!!!!!!!

Couldn't find a short English version, for some reason...

That looks awesome!!!

The first Schlitterbahn opened in '79.
They now have various parks. The one in New Braunfells (the first) has an east and a west section that you shuttle back and forth to and from.
They introduced the first water coaster technology...Dragon Blaster, then Master Blaster.
'Smore pics...!




And, it's part resort, too...!

Bingo--I think if you're introduced to water parks as a kid, you're probably less skittish. When I was a kid during the winter, we'd sled down streets and hills, but the difference was that you'd steer the sled with your hands; so going face first down the incline was fun, but not scary. I just can't do it on a water mat.

We never had modern water parks when I was a kiddo, but, as soon as we got them, I did it all...but, maybe my face has never been that important to me...!!!!!

Just tripped across a young woman on twitter by accident that was a young teen when I knew her on a defunct wdw forum discussion board. I pulled up her photo's, dang that young woman grew up to be a stunning adult. In my head I still had this young teen. Boy they grow up.
