| 1329 | Article | pikachulover | Thanks crow. @vkimo I think I would not want to go around an amusement park naked. It seems dangerous. | A Haunting Experience | Sep 25, 2014 |  |
| 1328 | Article | vkimo | I never grew up around any amusement parks so I never got to experience them like you did, however I'm next to 2 of them know and they seem a little twisted. Like walking around a mental hospital while people jump out and tickle you with dusters... Heck last year there was quite an uproar because Dorney Park was having Shocktober and after midnight they had a nude event where people could walk buck naked through their haunted attractions. I don't know why someone would want to do that, it was cancelled though. | A Haunting Experience | Sep 25, 2014 | |

| 1326 | Article | comic_book_fan | the chicken little is the same just a different shape and they are my favorite thing on the kfc menu. | Yesterdays 1: Foods Long Gone | Sep 25, 2014 | |
| 1325 | Article | pikachulover | Toys R Us was a big part of my life from 1986-1992. I lived across the street from one. That is the way my family and the other people who lived on the 3 house lot gave directions to the houses. Now it's a UFC Gym. You could see the large Geoffry sign from the Freeway. <img src="http://www.roadsidepeek.com/roadusa/southwest/california/socal/socalsign/socalneonsign/toysrusrsmdca-2.jpg"></img> I spent a lot of time in the "girl" aisles, but I liked to look at other stuff too like the bikes and art supplies. I miss all the seasonal stuff they carried like back to school supplies and Halloween stuff. When it was Christmas the parking lot was so full my family would just walk to the store. I used to get a lot of clearance items. My mom liked taking me down that aisle. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 25, 2014 | |
| 1324 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's okay. We like weird as long as it's a cool weird. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 24, 2014 | |
| 1323 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @vkimo: Yeah, that security cage for the games is a vivid memory for me as well. It was just so mysterious. It was actual dreams I've had of returning to Toys R Us in the 80's that inspired this article. And yes, the good Doctor has a few more adventures up his sleeve. @Vaporman87 Those costumes would be an amazing, if not stinky find. I used to manage a KB Toy Store and the highlight of my life was when Spider-Man came for an in-store (Barbie was OK too). It was in 2001, so I'm not sure if it qualifies for the site, but I took a lot of pictures with him. I even convinced him to pose in the storage room with the mask off as if he was Peter Parker doing a quick change. Yeah, I'm a little weird. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 24, 2014 | |
| 1322 | Article | vkimo | @Vapor I was thinking the same thing. Of all the MOTU (And any toy line really) merchandising, it's the promo stuff that's the most valuable. Store displays, event promotional items, etc. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 24, 2014 | |
| 1320 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man. Just look at that section of Masters of the Universe stuff. If only I could ACTUALLY go back in time and just buy every bit of it. So much coolness. So much money. :) This was a fun adventure Hoj... I mean, Dr. Timewarp. Thank you for taking us on it. Now if I can just figure out where that Man-E-Faces costume is these days, and have the person who owns it sell it to me. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 24, 2014 | |
| 1319 | Article | vkimo | Will Dr. Timewarp be a reoccurring alter ego of Hoju Koolander? Very fun article. And bonus points on the actual vintage shots inside a Toys R Us! It was always an idea of mine as a youngster to buy a Toys R Us and just lock it up for 15 years then reopen it as a museum. How cool would that be? I remember my Toys R us having all metal cages in the gaming section. It was maximum security there. I'm talking if you wanted a game the associate helping you had one key and the manager had the other. Both keys had to be inserted at precisely the right time and turned in sync. Maybe I over exaggerated that part... As for the Super Toy run, well that was a running fantasy all the way until I was almost a teen, which was replaced by fantasies of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, aherm. There was a really interesting AMA on Reddit from a guy who won it way back when, worth a read: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/zkc78/i_won_the_nickelodeon_super_toy_run_in_1995_when/ | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 24, 2014 | |
