Oakwood - Coral Cove - Opening Day
The Oakwood Rattler looks like a great traditional wooden coaster. I would have ridden it several times as well. Again, I really like the look and feel of the Woodland Walk. Oh! I see you used the "Courier" font. I didn't know we could change fonts now! (I just figured out where to do that! It's sorta hidden.)

D: Wales. And that's my final answer, too. I don't know much about Wales, but I do know that the Welsh language makes for some really long, unusual, and impossible to pronounce place names. Although, I can see how the other choices could also be correct. Basically, the Welsh folk can be divided into two groups: baleen and toothed. :D

Community Update #7 - February 15, 2025
I'm confused by the emojis. They're just B&W outlines now, instead of multi-colored. Many of them are just blank rectangles. The 'classic' yellow smileys are still there, but when I try to add one to my comment, it doesn't show up. Am I doing something wrong? Or am I missing something? Maybe it's because I'm still using Win7 (with the Chrome browser)? Also, it was convenient having the most recently used emojis at the top of the list. I don't see that there anymore? Now, I just type in traditional emoticons. As far as navigating: I just check the "Notifications" (bell symbol) icon at the top of the page, and click on (and read) each one 'til there aren't any more. Afterward, I click on "Unread Content" at the left edge of the page and go through those one-by-one , always returning to "Unread Content" after each one 'til there isn't anything left to read. All-in-all, I like the new ParkCrafters look and feel. :-)

Bonus question: I DON'T KNOW! Quit asking such hard questions!!! :-D I suppose the Coriolis effect would tend to keep the storms in their own hemisphere, not crossing the equator. BUT, I gotta think that other factors are at work, and the hurricanes/typhoons aren't gonna care about no dang Coriolis effect. Sooo, B: False

Hmmm, another tricky one. Smaller countries are going to have denser populations for the size of the country. I always hear how India is so densely populated, but India is large, and the majority of people are going to live in the cities, not the rest of the country. And Monaco is so danged small, it's population can't help but be dense. So, B: Monaco

^ Oh yeah, Ireland! Unless Ireland is considered part of the UK? Like Greenland is part of Denmark. Also, there's Scotland, which is always trying to be its own country... I lost track. Have they succeeded in that quest? Now I have a headache...

Well, the one that's sort of been in the news of late: Greenland. Although, it's 'owned' by Denmark (or so I've heard in the news), so maybe that disqualifies it? Netherlands has an "s" on the end. Newfoundland is part of Canada, as is Prince Edward Island. I can't think of any others so I'll stick with my first guess.

Wagi probably knows of which he speaks; him living in Brazil. I'm picturing the South America map in my head... IIRC, Argentina is in the lower southeast corner, which would place it farrrr away from the Amazon. So I too will say C: Argentina.

Hmm, why would a country import garbage? I suppose other countries pay them to take their garbage. So, which country? On the one hand, it would make sense for it to be a European country because it's centrally located amongst a bunch of other countries, making it cheaper to ship the garbage. On the other hand, Canada is huge, and relatively sparsely populated; lots of room to dispose of garbage. On the third hand, Canada is rich in resources. It probably doesn't need the money that bad, that it would import other countries garbage. What the heck... I'm gonna say B: Sweden. It's also a fairly large country (for Europe), with a relatively small population. I really have no idea on this one.

I like the look of that Medusa/Gorgon ride entrance on the left.

Well, I think Steve Jobs' former employer was Atari. "Apple" comes before "Atari", alphabetically. So I'll say A: To be listed in the phone book before his former employer. Of course, you probably threw that choice in just to fool me... and only me.

Score?! We don' need no stinkin' score!... Actually, I thought of that too. But I don't think I want anyone to see my score; for obvious reasons.

I really have no idea on this one. I know that both, Pepsi and Coke were available at Disneyland for several years; sort of an 'east side/ west side' arrangement. Wagi's reasoning sounds plausible, but he led me astray last time. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... uh... can't be fooled again". Coin flip time! I have a rare, four dimensional coin with 4 sides: heads, tails, front legs, rear legs. Annnnd... wouldn't you know it, it came up 'front legs'! So, looks like I'm in agreement with wagi after all! C: A Supply of unlimited soda syrup for the parks.
