Korn had completely zoned out staring at the ferris wheel and thinking about something intently. Chianti noticed he was distracted and then asked Korn slightly skeptically if he wanted to ride the ferris wheel. Korn started blushing because Chianti straight-up just asked him if he wants to go on the stereotypical romantic Japanese couples ride. [/alternate interpretation]
Or it's just one of his psycho interests to go up on different high places to see if he can get the feel that it's a perfect sniping position
DC's Awesome Qoutes:
Spoiler:
Bourbon:''A child's curiosity and a detective's spirit of inquiry do have much in common'' Vermouth:''A secret makes a woman, woman'' Mary/Gin:''It's like encountering a demon in the darkness...'' Akai Shuichi:''Fear of death is worse than death itself'' Shinichi Kudo:''following the smell of blood to arrive upon a crime scene, using every one of your senses to hunt the culprit, then once you've seized hold of him, sinking your sharp teeth(your evidence) until your opponent gives up the ghost, That's a detective''
I'm so glad I didn't watch any of the promo material else my expectations may have skyrocketed too much before I watched the special.
I said all my comments in my Twitter account so I'll just cap mine saying this got a 10/10 for me. They chose a really good way to highlight the good parts of Detective Conan in this one as well as celebrate the 20th anniversary with a satisfying end.
It was a good episode.Like an overall review of the series up till now kind of thing.

Spoiler:
My favourite scene was how the today's detective boys met(or crossed paths) before they were detective boys.
"If we have a friend who's as good as he(shinichi) is we too will become good at soccer."-Ayumi to Mitsuhiko.Amen.Her words became true )
Haibara casually passing by shinichi and ran in her car after the above mentioned scene.
wow.Love how they showed that fate is lovingly unpredictable.Who would have thought that these 5 people with different backgrounds and ages would be together in one team one day.
Broooooooooo I just finished watching it with my sister.
The story was so nice, it's perfected to the max. It got super real after they fed the APTX. I loved it.
TMS PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE do this with Kogoro and Heiji too.

Eh, you can see it that way if you like.

At the beginning she puts the kettle on the counter, reaches up for the chemicals and you can hear her take some, and then in the next scene she pours herself some tea and then walks away carrying the mug.
I don't really understand where else she would put that.
EDIT:
I took a break and decided to do some research. Also looking back at the scene, it looks like coffee to me.
Apparently Disodium Phosphate mixed with a few other minor ingredients is used in creamer. By itself, Disodium Phosphate has some thickening properties so it would appear that Shiho rather than just put coffee creamer in, just mixes in raw chemicals because she is a scientist.
Iron Oxide is also known to purify water when in contact with activated carbon. Burnt coffee beans are excellent apparently so she may have mixed in trace amounts of Iron Oxide with the beans which then would purify the water.
So... Shiho is basically just flexing her chemistry skills?

A 1998 song, out of place? In an adaption of a story made in 1994 and 1996? I thought people who liked old school (1994–2003/1996–2004) DC best wanted more from that period. Guess there's no avoiding critique from those fans—even if you chose to do a broad thing/concept that they like, they'll get you for the how/the execution of that broad thing/concept. How was the rest of Episode One, then? Yay or nay? Or was it a mixed bag?
I think it was about as "misplaced" as Mune ga Dokidoki—that is, it wasn't "misplaced."
I guess slow isn't your thing, then (at least when it comes to this specific song).

Lol I'm not saying it's misplaced in that it didn't deserve to be in there, just that I didn't think that song fit the atmosphere well iN THAT CONTEXT... I think Nazo would've been better

What can I say—I've got a ways to go to not come off as some super-offended fanboy who flips at the drop of a hat. So my apologies if your initial reaction to my post was, "WTF...?"
I think Unmei no Roulette Mawashite was better suited for that scene, given that it was a Shinichi/Ran scene—I associate Unmei no Roulette Mawashite with Shinichi/Ran more than I associate them with Nazo.
