Legoland is coming to Toronto (sort 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.

a 4D cinema where action is accompanied by wind, rain, lightning and snow.
What? I can understand wind, but rain, lightning, and snow? Lightning must be strobe lights, rain might be misters, but how are they going to accomplish snow? :confused:

No big thing. We do it on Main Street any time we want at whatever temperature.

I had a friend who caught the snow in his mouth on Main Street, swished it around in his mouth, and recognized it as Dial.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Ok. That begs the question, why does he know the tastes of different soaps? I can see recognising the soap taste, but the brand? :eek:

He explained it that he had had his mouth washed out that many times.
