Well spotted. The answer is Yes and No.
It's not his real name. Since I myself use an alias here, my buddy quite rightly insisted on having one too.
And yes, as his alias I chose the name of the hero in Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain, the book that shaped me more than any other.
As a young man, I once spent a long night with a friend in a bar and at one point exclaimed, for all to hear, "Ich bin Hans Castorp", "I am Hans Castorp". That was some 40 years ago. The Magic Mountain is still the book that defines me, and Thomas Mann still the one author that lets me keep some hope for humankind. If he was possible, everything is possible.
Castorp sits next to me and says hello. He loves attention.

I wanted to capture the special light atmosphere: the curving LEDs of Tiger and Turtle glowing at dusk, combined with the stunning colors of the sunset.

Happy Birthday, Thomas Mann.
Reposting here an earlier post of mine, pointing to a wonderful reading of all of Thomas Mann's Zauberberg, The Magic Mountain.
Yes, all of it. In 114 half-hour episodes.
The reading took place on the stage of a Hamburg theatre during the 2020 lockdown, by actor Sven Walser, who died in 2023.
It is a nuanced and faithful reading, and it is fresh, without the grandfatherly pomposity of some of the audiobooks.
(In German, so it helps if you know a little German,)

Interesting.
Thomas Mann's writings have been my constant companions since I was 16. The Magic Mountain is the one book I'd take to my Desert Island. I've read it an uncountable number of times. As a young man, I was seen in Berlin coffee houses exclaiming loudly, "I am Hans Castorp".
I have read many Mann biographies and long ago decided that I could close down the biographical side and just keep reading this great writer's novels. But having read Daniel Kehlmann's congenial review of this new biography, it seems I was wrong. I will make sure to read Tilmann Lahme's Mann biography.
(Kehlmann himself is of course an accomplished novelist. I enjoyed his early "Ich und Kaminski" and his "Die Vermessung der Welt".)
Thanks for the link!

Hervorragend! Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain has been with me all my life, as a constant companion, guide and challenge, and this forcefully empathetic invitation to read the book helps me see why. "A book of biblical importantance". "There is a life before the Zauberberg, and a life after the Zauberberg." The man is right. Thank you for the link to this wonderful, passionate confession of a true Zauberbergian.

The post below gives a link to a congenial stage reading of the book. The German actor Sven Walser read it in its entirety during the first covid lockdown, on the empty stage of Hamburg's Ernst Deutsch Theater. Half an hour per day, in 114 sessions. An inspired, fresh, authentic reading, and at the time a moving tribute to the urgency of the moment. Sven Walser died in 2023.

This is so good. Especially chart 2, at the top, showing the scaling of time by section of the book. Truly Illuminating.
The Magic Mountain grabbed me when I first read it as a young man, 40 years ago. It didn't let me go. Not a year passes where I don't engage with it. The novel that defines the modern deconstruction of self-finding keeps helping me find myself.
These charts offer a new perspective. Thank you, #LouisSuarez.

Gold Rusher at Six Flags Magic Mountain is an Arrow Dynamics terrain coaster that has operated at the park since 1971. The roller coaster cost $1.2 million USD to construct ($9.2 million in today's money) and is the oldest operating adult roller coaster at the park today.

A new episode is live in your podcast player! Come join us as we look at a failed Intamin prototype that was almost universally hated while it operated at @SixFlags parks throughout the country. The poor ride really never stood the chance.

Not a lot of love lost here, but Psyclone was a Dinn Corporation-built wooden roller coaster that operated at @SFMagicMountain from 1991 to 2006. Part of the "record breaking wooden coaster craze" of the 1990s, the coaster pushed riders to the limit, with up to 3.0 in G-forces in parts of the ride.
Her trains were designed by B&M, the only wooden roller coaster to ever receive trains from them.

Thomas Mann's 1924 novel The #MagicMountain is a demanding and absorbing book that gives back generously if you give it your time.
During the 2020 lockdown, actor #SvenWalser read the entire novel on a sparse set in Hamburg's #ErnstDeutschTheater, in 114 half-hour episodes.
This reading is the real thing: fresh, unpretentious, nuanced, alive. In German.
If you speak a little German, you will enjoy it.

This image is one of our favorites - Ninja at @SFMagicMountain is a gem to photograph no matter what year you happen to be photographing her.
Opened in 1988, Ninja is an Arrow Dynamics suspended coaster. She is one of only a handful of suspended roller coasters from Arrow that are still operational, and the only one remaining in the Six Flags chain.

New Revolution at @SFMagicMountain is a 1976 Schwarzkopf looper that still packs almost 5Gs of force on riders through its vertical loop.
The coaster has gone through several name changes and restraint changes over the year - thankfully they're back to just a lap bar restraint in the trains as originally designed.
