I just discovered this amusement park that was in DRs Ginny's and Elmore's territory, even though it never closed for good until 1999. But I'm sure there are hundreds of these I never knew about and I wish I had.

From Wiki:

"Founded by Edgar Streifthau, the park originally opened in 1922 as a family picnic destination with swimming amenities. Throughout the 1940s, LeSourdsville Lake transformed into an amusement park with the addition of rides, attractions, and an arcade. The park was sold in 1961, and following heavy competition from nearby Kings Island, it was rebranded Americana Amusement Park in 1978. An electrical fire in 1990 caused over $5 million in damages and led to bankruptcy. The park continued to operate under several different owners before eventually closing in 1999."

It looks nice.

We did get rain yesterday and overnight. It was a light off-and-on rain. Maybe a half inch.

Which is A LOT for us this time of year. It doesn't usually rain in the spring. Not until summer monsoons.

Rain in June used to be unheard of.  Proof that the weather is changing.

Too bad the power people in D.C. are pretending there's no issue about climate change.

I loved LeSourdsville Lake! In the 1960s and 70s, I loved to swim there. I often took my brother Randy with me. My mother loved The Cyclone, the roller coaster, and the Belgian waffles were amazing. It was about a 15-minute drive from Middletown.



Be sure to ride The Cyclone.

I first saw a slime tutorial thing two years ago, I think, when someone uploaded a complete performance of The Visit. So, I assume it's an illegal recording from the audience of a show.

I can't pick a single favorite instrument, but DR John G.'s reminds me that back when I was listening to a lot of Toscanini recordings, in college and for a few years afterward, I loved discovering the Mozart bassoon concerto. I played that NBC Symphony recording over and over. Probably haven't heard it since, but the sound of it is still in my head.

Here's the Broadwayworld article.
"RIDE THE CYCLONE Will Make UK Premiere in November
The musical will preview at Southwark Playhouse Elephant from Friday 14 November 2025"
https://www.broadwayworld.com/westend/article/RIDE-THE-CYCLONE-Will-Make-UK-Premiere-in-November-20250522


This listing of producers from that article suggests that there's Broadway interest. 
"RIDE THE CYCLONE THE MUSICAL is produced by Kevin McCollum, Morris Berchard and Jack Maple."

We used to have an amusement park in Phoenix. Legend City.

I think I only got to go once as a kid. I took my son there when he was a toddler, but by then it was about to close down.

Yesterday I learned something.

Hey, it doesn't happen every day, so let me crow about it! Are you ready for it?

Who here knows the term Slime Tutorial?

Am I the last to have caught on to this?

I've certainly heard of it/them(?), but I haven't watched a lot of their content...I don't know why.  I have thoroughly enjoyed what I have viewed.
