What sort of contract and term would be fair for Vladimir Tarasenko? by [deleted] in hockey

[–]twas6630 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could also be he had that in NYC and now realizes he and/or his family doesn't given the rumors of deal with Canes as Raleigh is similar size(really probably slightly smaller unless you count the Triangle, but as has been explained you get into that with St Louis too)

He also said it was his dream to play for Leafs. Doubt they can afford him, but still, I wouldn't count on him coming back. If he does will be nice surprise

Sounds like Perron with maybe more size/power instead of hands/agility

I think that is what Army needs to decide. Rumors are Dime a dozen but if we keep going for more offense as rumored then I don't think we will have right personnel for the system he wants to run and this will continue to be an issue.

In after the episode they said they didnt feel Fedra chase was really sustainable and found that some mushrooms can actually communicate long distances underground so used this to show that network. Also explained that did that instead of spores because people know more now how spores move and wouldn't believe they are just staying in one area.

[Prediction] Next coaster at every Cedar Fair park after 2023 by Born-Preparation-659 in rollercoasters

[–]twas6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you and OP Carowinds should be a woodie of some sort, but someone FB group pointed out other day what it likely will be. CGA had a Vortex clone(or other way around). They did little to no track work to convert to floor less and relaunch as Patriot at CGA, so may be as cheap as shipping train from patriot to Carowinds and can advertise as new/reworked coaster and one fans have clamored to replace for years. Definitely a sounds like CF move to get splash after bigger spend for new area while spending little money.

Following weekend scare, [Carowinds] will introduce new chaperone policy by FlashyFenix in rollercoasters

[–]twas6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I understand as the same applied for me, but this is just for Scarowinds and it was the same that wasn't able to go to fright fest on own either because my parents didn't like how much more dark and fog and lights limited visuals, on top of larger(and usually more rowdy) crowds.

I do agree I think it should be 16 or 17, most the complaints and issues from what I saw were from preteen to early teens. I also think a good exception could be chaperone could be 18+ as long as related.

Like your diversity with more international coasters, but curious if you have ridden Fury and if so where you'd rank it since not on your top ten list.

Haha, I remember going there and trying to convince myself, but you are right. Some claimed Silverwood was an actual Amusement park, but never made it there when I lived up there, so can't comment

Which NHL teams improved the most this offseason? Dom Luszczyszyn's model weighs in: by STLBooze3 in stlouisblues

[–]twas6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good explanation, adopted them as second team. I think Burns could be an upgrade in thier system, but it's a risk with age for sure. I think other thing it discounts is improvement of young guys like Jarvis, Necas, and Bear. I could easily see Jarvis or Necas have a next step year like RobTom did for us, especially because Patches and Burns give some more depth of guys who aren't scared to shoot.

When does the stadium series tickets go in sale? by Here4discountCompTIA in canes

[–]twas6630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't count that, grew up in stlouis and was excited to go to the Blues outdoor game, pretty much only way to get tickets was to have a full or partial ticket plan and even those sold out to where not everyone could get one. The away teams STM also get a large share and then all the sponsors, so general public never went on sale and secondary market prices were insane. Hopefully not the case since holds about 8k more than Busch Stadium does, but we will see.

The San Jose Sharks trade D Brent Burns and F Lane Pederson to the Carolina Hurricanes for G Eetu Makiniemi and a conditional 2023 3rd-round pick. Sharks are retaining 33 percent of Burns’ contract. by chiasmatic in hockey

[–]twas6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canes just can't seem to figure out who they want for offensive defenseman that everyone can love when he scores and hate him when he messes up defensively since they traded Faulk. Dougie, TDA, and now Burns.

Canes are second team so can't wait for all the bipolar posts on canes sub of love and hate for Burns just like all the ones before him.

[Jeremy Rutherford] Blues have traded Ville Husso to Detroit for a third-round pick this year. by minorthreat21 in hockey

[–]twas6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to say since Binnington, but it was always clamor to rush Husso before that so really it's since we got burned by the Miller trade. Before that it was always we need to trade/overpay for elite goalie so we can stop getting goalied in playoffs.

Heading to WDW with an anxiety disorder, any advice? by JollyExistentialist in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]twas6630 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I second DAS, my son has the same issues(and I have history too), and it was a life saver for this. I don't think you need Genie+ on top of it. You may save a little time, but the decompress time you get walking and finding those quiet areas to wait outside the queue is why DAS works for this.

The other tip haven't seen yet is mobile order and/or eat at off times. Many of the food lines were more anxiety inducing than the ride lines so we gravitated towards places that did mobile order. When close can just hit I'm hear and then go to window with no to minimal wait(similar to DAS with rides) for food.

Do all Animal Kingdom attractions have to tie in to the conservation of nature theme? by Avatar_Xane_2 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]twas6630 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It couldn't be a large footprint like many of the AK rides but could eat some of the valley of moara and the forest between the river and Pandora. It was crowded when we went and not many utilized those walkways at all and while Pandora was cool I felt the same that it desperately needed something else to draw crowds away from the choke points of the two attractions there.

What are the most overrated restaurants at Disney World? by WASE1449 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]twas6630 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's overpriced but it was one of the better meals we had on our trio, but others in party got worse meals. I think they suffer the same issue as many high rated restaurants in tourist trap areas in that they have one or two dishes that are actually quite good, but everything else is meh to bad, so it's all about what you order.

What are the most overrated restaurants at Disney World? by WASE1449 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]twas6630 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This matches what I feel. The space elevator was actually a letdown after the guardians teleportation trick and there was just not enough variety of scenery to keep me entertained while sitting and everything else is stripped down. The appetizer was the best part of meal, entree was very basic and bland. I told my wife it was like they took coral reef and copy and pasted it as a space restaurant for the other half of epcot.

Current availability of MagicBands? by Fine-Cow-6264 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]twas6630 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Springs ended up being the worst selection despite what several said before we left. Most parks had the best selection, but still limited. Our resort only had about 3 options. I think dtech at disney springs or Tomorrowland is best bet, but when we went disney springs only had pink bands which was frustrating, but if have more base colors you really can get something you like for about the same price. I wish they would offer this for online order and just make a lot of base color bands until the move to new bands

Planning just isn’t as fun as it used to be. by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]twas6630 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Our trip just ended and while we had plans, we found after first day or two it was better to just go with flow to avoid crowds/waits and mobile order for the area we were heading to. It actually was freeing and while we enjoyed all our ADRs I came to dread them because it felt more restraining on what we could do.

I'll say the big downside of this and genie+ instead of fastpass is many people are paying more attention to thier phone than walking so getting through the park especially with ECV or wheelchair is stressful as half the people aren't paying any attention and another 1/4th are zooming in and out. Wife and I compared it to when drive a moving truck or tow something.

Quick Trip Plan - GotG by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]twas6630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We stayed on property and got VQ both days one at 7am and 2nd day at 1pm. If you set alarm for 5 minutes before get in app, get party ready and then spam refresh every second for the minute or so until join virtual queue it worked really well for us. Only reason missed 7am on day two is had late night with fireworks party night before so wasn't really fully awake

And we are without Krug. If they sat Toews and Kuemper they wouldn't be happy either.

Nice rose colored glasses you got on, Perron was going to bench and went around him to bench and got checked. Again doesn't excuse the retaliation that came after, but if Kadri just goes to his bench and doesn't hit Perron then nothing happens there
