  1. "No one was more excited than the staff."
    Sometimes that's a red flag.

    "They even got a bubble guy!"
    F*king BUBBLES!

    "The Octorock."
    Nintendo's gonna sue someone.

    "That's Link."
    Okay, now they really are tempting fate.

  2. Sort of unrelated but did anyone else get a 23 min "ad" for whatever? I've gotten a few of these. You can take the time, report it to YouTube. Go to the menu at the left of the YouTube logo on the page. Click on it and scroll down to send feedback. You can write that a 23 min video (or whatever) is WRONG. But what's cool is you can attach a screen shot. It actually has that as a feature. Good luck

  3. I remember Legoland in Denmark being my favourite theme park of all time as a kid, just very well run, fun and amazingly designed. I'm not at all surprised to find that their American park is doing a good job too.

  4. This whole thing was so sad for everybody involved. (Edit:actually it was more disappointing than sad when you think about it and everyone got over it and it was just forgotten about by not just the guests but also seaworld.)

  5. Sea world in Orlando Florida is a waste of money! It is a cross between a poorly designed amusement park with live animals. worthless water attractions and over priced junk shops and overpriced, terrible food. They charge for everything, including a ridiculous fee for parking. There were only two live animal areas where you could see live dolphins and Sting Rays. Those poor animals need to be rescued and released into their native habitats. You could see how unhappy they were.

  6. I was born in San Diego and lived there for most of my life and I remember seeing about that online, and then when I go to the place and ask where I can try it, it’s gone already.

  7. Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.

    Justice said we broke His perfect law – causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed – and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing – regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others – which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" – if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans

    . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.

    If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).

    He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.

    He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.

    He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.

    Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]

    – (AMPLIFIED version)

    NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus.

  8. As a kid, I went to SeaWorld a couple times mostly because San Diego was where one of our close relatives lived so it was just there. We basically had a system for our annual visits: DisneyLand, San Diego Zoo, or SeaWorld. SeaWorld we visited the least. I didn’t really have anything to say about it as a kid but I just felt like something was…off. Especially by the last visit we ever did. I was older then and had the maturity to tell exactly why it felt off: all the sad animals radiating depression in the air. After confirming what my subconscious thought was, we never went back/I never suggested it again.

    However, one of those visits was part of a Girl Scouts trip I went to where we were allowed in the park after hours and then we slept out in the shark tank tunnel. I hated it, mostly because I’m an introvert and as a kid I had a very strong moral code about when I should go to bed (as in, I hated seeing clocks go past 11 pm or later, we were in the park at 12-2 am), but it was funny hearing all the scouts who were afraid to sleep with the sharks while I wasn’t one of them. Again on this trip I had the subconscious thought of ‘something’s wrong with this park’ but it was a bit nullified from the fact we were there at night when nobody else was in the park.

    I also recall only seeing the orca show like twice in my whole life, and both times I just didn’t enjoy it and had to make myself look like I enjoyed the animals doing weird things (don’t blame my parents, I suggested most of the things we do in theme parks and they only chose to do something if I agreed or they wanted to split up and do two dif things while I went with one of them, maybe I was trying to convince myself the orca show was cool idk 😂). I don’t even have any cool lifelong souvenirs from SeaWorld. From DisneyLand, I have my custom mouse hat. From SDZ, I have this giant plush snake I got when I was 5. From SeaWorld, I got this tiny blue dolphin figurine thing, it’s pretty but the other two have way more sentimental value to me.

    TL;DR: SeaWorld sucks and even my little kid brain could tell it sucked from the very beginning, and I had completely stopped going by the time this corporate out-of-touch garbage of a ride was made, although the incompetence in designing the ride (mainly the track being OUTDOORS) is hilarious 🤣

  9. To be honest since we're f**** driving these animals to Extinction we should take care of some but like actually take care of them instead of exploiting them for profit

  10. one must respect them for trying a remake of a park based on nothing but cruel animal exploitation after refusing for years to give that business model up while a documentary goes viral portraying that horror.
    it shows not only a complete lack of respect for animals but also for the customers. that's absolutely insane or proof of balls so heavy they would bend sunlight
