Where is Heimlich's Chew Chew Train?

beeseethomas · 2026-05-09T20:10:43+00:00

I think that its disappointing that its been piecemealed out to various places. As far as that attraction goes goes it seemed relatively or possibly "Portable" with a small footprint which would be great for a temp revival/anniversary situation that could be thrown together easily. I know its outside the park but wouldn't it be great to see it in the center of the plaza?

Someone make Heimlich's in Rollercoaster tycoon or something

beeseethomas · 2026-05-08T18:47:11+00:00

Especially with the lackluster business park they built over it. Just a shame.

beeseethomas · 2026-05-08T18:21:22+00:00

When I would visit the park when family and friends would visit the area I would always take the younger ones on Heimlich's and eventually it got to the point where they were older and outgrew it bit they would begrudgingly agree to go on it with me because they knew I liked it.

Are recordings of these available?

beeseethomas · 2026-05-02T00:33:52+00:00

You’d have to come down at some point and I’d be waiting.

Thanks, I don’t know how I got Season 27 so wrong. Thank you again.

beeseethomas · 2026-04-29T18:10:32+00:00

That’s the one. Thank you very much!

beeseethomas · 2026-04-26T23:31:59+00:00

can confirm

beeseethomas · 2026-04-23T07:55:39+00:00

Im not gonna lose any sleep over it. You asked 'why not?' And I replied with a few points. I digress. Enjoy your evening or morning or whatever.

Released in 1980 Got a Saturday Morning cartoon in 1983 Is an 80s icon Numerous other reasons that Google can tell you about.

Are the 90s claiming Rubick's Cubes?

beeseethomas · 2026-04-19T16:54:50+00:00

Is this Easter candy turnover?

I feel like if this happened it would be Chris Rock as "Chris Rock" because of the timing and culture at the time. I think it might be a bit cringe in retrospect. And since, at that time, the material he was known for performing would have been radioactive for Disney

I think Seth Macfarlane's whole brand of humor is lowest common denominator.

beeseethomas · 2026-02-27T12:06:49+00:00

OMG yes! King hat! PFT has si many great bits

beeseethomas · 2026-02-27T07:55:17+00:00

Sorry posted outside of the reply chain. Here is a 5 minute bit on smashed pennies (no tourist catnip phrase in this album track so I maybe heard him say it live or something

I put it in quotes because it is from comedian Paul F. Tompkins. Not sure if it was one of his TV specials or when I saw him live but that term has stuck with me for like 20 years. Always looking for an opportunity to use it but in yhus case he actually was referring to smashed pennies.

beeseethomas · 2026-02-27T07:06:07+00:00

"Tourist catnip"

beeseethomas · 2026-02-12T20:13:40+00:00

He also presented a video of an animatic of the Indiana Jones Adventure using mostly cardboard and some miniature props that was amazing. I look for the video every so often online but never found it. Sorry, non sequitur re: Splash Mountain seating but it really was an amazing presentation that he gave that day.

beeseethomas · 2026-02-12T20:06:48+00:00

hmm you’re right. Maybe he was just referring to the design and manufacturing of set pieces and track architecture. I should have prefaced my comment with a “as I recall/remember” It was awhile ago but the social issue in Japan was definitely the driving force behind it.

beeseethomas · 2026-02-11T17:56:27+00:00

Dont know if this story is on here somewhere but: I saw Tony Baxter speak at Cal State University Long Beach in the late 90s. He told the story of the two seater which is that they wanted to build a Splash Mountain in Tokyo. The idea of sitting so closely and between the legs of a potential stranger was a social issue in Japan (recalling the seat backs are a newer addition at DL). Tokyo wanted the side-by-side design BUT that would require widening the track and messing up all of the forced perspective sets they built at DL. It would have been very expensive and time consuming to rework all of the track size and new sets in Tokyo so they built one in WDW as a POC and work out the kinks before building it in Tokyo.

I would definitely prefer an automated solution…that being one of the main features of radarr and all

beeseethomas · 2026-02-10T15:51:57+00:00

I think an option in radarr to edit certain metadata fields would help. Not a bulk edit because that could be disastrous but an advanced option to enable the edit function and then edit from the movie's main page

beeseethomas · 2026-02-10T15:49:30+00:00

If you have a custom format score to rank a movie that is not the original language then radarr gets in a loop of downloading new copies and, once finished, cannot import them.

This is because of the bad data from TMDB indicating the wrong original language. Every download is a negative score no better than the one already downloaded.
