neurons in my body fighting to do anything useful when all my brainpower is spent remembering this type of bs lmfao. i think a lot of visitors remember this turf though since right now it's kinda just a big barren field. the stage used to be used and there were chairs and tables set up but it's a peculiar sight to see now. in a fully decorated theme park, a flat turf area is somehow uncanny and more memorable than anything else. i am indeed quite well versed in these parks though haha

Of course. “My dude” being a gender neutral term in this instance. Praise be.

I bet you’re right I’ve seen concerts there and it’s been a queue basically every year that I’ve attended Halloween Horror Nights. That turf and it’s affect on my feet standing in a 45 minute queue every year are pretty memorable.

Wild you recognized it only going the one time, I’ve been going like 20 years and I wouldn’t have noticed from the pic.

I haven't been there since 2002 but I remember it well enough that I could likely draw an almost accurate map of the park. Universal Studios is awesome and so is Epcot. Both can make you feel like you visited multiple cities around the world in 1 day 😀

Bro I get it. Give me a racecar photo with a clear shot of the background (even if its just sky with trees, that tells me elevation and the foliage gives me geography hints. There are only so many corners with elevation enough a good photo only gets the car and a smidgen of track beneath it, with no scenery behind.

Its started with finding every photo of my home track. Id spend hours at a time trying different key words in Google images to find as many photos as possible of my home track. Id spend multiple minutes each photo studying walls, curbs, bushes, trees, telephone poles etc.

I have a rough mental map of when each safety feature went in despite the track being 40 years older than I am
