Fraggle Rock - Adventures Of

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Yup, that's a great trick that they used.

On one of the Fraggle Rock season DVD sets, Dave Golez recalls that he had to ride that roller coaster several times.

I personally loved the '80's hair and the headband(?) on the girl at the end.

Because of you I'm watching old Fraggle Rock episodes on Netflix.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Haven't got any new sets lately, so no Legos.

The park is Canadas' Wonderland, north of Toronto. The coaster is the "Mighty Canadian Minebuster", or as we call it the Spinebuster! That is one rough coaster. Its cool seeing the old footage, as they built a waterpark on both sides of the track, so the coaster now runs through a waterpark.

I got that set a while back. I have it displayed on some Lego track I had from an old train set.
