Great. Loved the Happy Valley photos!
I'm looking forward for more, really interesting and china is definately a country of parks you don't see that often. And about the parenting.. I think the fact that she can experience all those trips and see so many places (as well as riding so many coasters  ) is a thing nobody should overlook when critisizing those baby photos on the internet.. |

Ob dem Mädchen die Attraktionen nun wirklich Spaß machen oder nicht, kann ich nicht beurteilen. Doch eines weiß ich: Ein Kleinkind in dem Alter hat kein Interesse an Kultur und wird sich, wenn es älter ist, an vieles gar nicht mehr erinnern können. Die Fotos samt "lustiger" Kommentare werden dann trotzdem noch im Netz abrufbar sein.
So, ich halte mich ab jetzt lieber raus, bevor sich die Eltern noch mehr aufregen

Trotzdem sind es auch Erlebnisse in der Kindheit die einen prägen, ob man sich daran bewusst erinnert oder nicht.. | |||

So und nicht anders sieht es aus. Wen juckt da schon schlechte Publicity? Ausserdem kostet ab 500 Counts die Mitgliedschaft bei Countology nur noch 92 € im Jahr, also weit weniger als ein Drittel. Und es gibt den Platinummitgliedsausweis. | |||

Today was our first of two days at Hong Kong Disneyland. While some people went off to Macau to do crazy things like jump off the tower, Elissa and I decided we would take KidTums to Disneyland!
Now first off, I do want to say that I absolutely *love* the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. I do not believe it deserves the bad rap it's gotten over the years. The problem with the park is that there just isn't enough to do and when this park does fill in I think it would be my 2nd favorite Magic Kingdom behind Tokyo Disneyland. The park has all the charm, spirit and customer service as Tokyo Disneyland, just not the ride selection. Anyway, onto some photos! (note - I will warn you that there will be a LOT of photos and probably even a few Disney dorky ones as well...)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_03_386.jpg Welcome to Hong Kong Disneyland KidTums!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_04_179.jpg Much of Hong Kong Disneyland was based off Disneyland in California. So much so that some people may not even be able to tell the difference.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_06_610.jpg Wait...are you serious? You can upgrade to an annual pass for just.... THIRTY EIGHT DOLLARS?!!?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_11_527.jpg There are many "small castle" jokes that can be made here and I'm sure you've heard them all...but for now I'll just stick with "The castle may be small, but it still makes Joey jealous."  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_09_160.jpg OMG! The marching band has blocked out the castle!!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_13_380.jpg Here is something the park did that I wish the other Disney parks would do also...they hand out instructions on how to use Fast Pass! Other Disney parks listen up. The IDIOTS out there need this! Don't just put it in the guide book that they will never read anyway, HAND THEM SOMETHING to read...or better yet, create a "book on tape" for how to use fast pass!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_19_548.jpg It's no Tokyo, but at least it's not the California version!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_131_940.jpg Chapter 11. As in "if the park doesn't do better soon, it may have to file for Chapter 11...."  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_179_871.jpg It's a Small World...yup...this was the new kid on the block, the bad-ass new attraction, the dogs bollocks, etc, etc....  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_22_687.jpg Yeah, it pretty much looked like Small World as seen in all the other Disney parks...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_24_183.jpg So for the most part this version of Small World looks like all the other ones...except for one change...there are now popular Disney characters scattered throughout the ride. Now I had heard all the Disney purists moan and complain about this how it "ruins It's a Small World", blah, blah, blah.... This is what I have to say about it...first off...it's freaking It's a Small World...so you pretty much need to do SOMETHING to get me to come back in. And secondly, I thought the Disney characters were really well done and a very nice and welcome addition! There are apparently 38 of them, I think we found most of them below...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_182_381.jpg There was Bambi and Thumper hanging out in the snow....  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_183_182.jpg One of the prissy Astriocats looking all bitchy...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_184_180.jpg Peter Pan, Wendy, and Tinkerbell hovering above London.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_185_594.jpg I think this is either Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty with her latest dude of the week.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_186_284.jpg The 16-bit Sega Genesis version of Pinnocchio.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_187_148.jpg Aladdin has that smile on his face because he knows the perfect place to park that carpet!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_188_142.jpg Abu doing his East Los Angeles impression.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_189_248.jpg Some Lion King dudes in there somewhere...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_190_129.jpg TRON?!!?!?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_191_589.jpg Donald and his pals doing the Mexican thing.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_192_803.jpg Poke-My-Hauntus  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_193_717.jpg There really is a "boy gets girl" theme going on here...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_194_115.jpg Baloo and Short Round.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_195_361.jpg The Little Mermaid looking as HOT as ever! (C'mon...who DOESN'T want to bang Ariel?)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_196_202.jpg Lilo & Stich in Hawaii (of course!)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_36_205.jpg Shake it girls!!! Yeeeeeaaaahhhh! "If I had some Hong Kong Dollars I'd be putting them in your grass skirt!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_198_188.jpg Seriously, we all loved it! As much crap as this ride gets, this was a really good version of it!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_43_135.jpg Kristen was being assimilated by the corporate rat. She looked very cute.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_45_207.jpg Dave also was being assimilated but he is not so cute. In fact, just moments after taking this photo we started to claw our eyeballs out because we couldn't stand the sight of half-Dave, half-girly rodent anymore.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_47_855.jpg Buzz Lightyear was pretty much the same as all the other versions.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_48_860.jpg "Pixel Mickey & Minnie" were all the rage at Hong Kong Disneyland. They were very cool...almost a throwback to the "NES Video Game" days.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_50_107.jpg It's odd (and for Elissa very cool) how prominent Chip & Dale are here in all the Merchandise. It's almost like they and Stitch are the 'secondary' main characters behind Mickey, Minnie, Donald, & Pluto in Asia. Turns out these toys were VERY cool! You can attach them all together, and the more you attach, the more songs they play and the more moves they do! Why don't we have this cool stuff in the US?!?!?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_52_196.jpg Entrance to Tomorrowland....yup!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_55_194.jpg There really was not many people at the park today. It was kind of sad really. During our first visit a couple of years ago the places was PACKED! This park is fantastic and with a lack of attractions I think comes a lack of people. Hopefully they will fix this problem soon.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_56_124.jpg When was the last time you saw a Magic Kingdom this dead?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_57_932.jpg We see you Space Mountain!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_59_862.jpg There are only three lands other than Main Street - Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, and Adventureland.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_60_191.jpg The Jungle River Cruise is the "badass" version of the traditional Jungle Cruise.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_62_121.jpg It's in three different languages and it's "Dan Friendly"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_66_202.jpg "...Licensed by Nintendo"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_68_296.jpg Elephant in water or Robb taking a shower...you decide!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_71_192.jpg Jungle Cruise + Fire = Awesome!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_72_160.jpg Adding fire and explosions to anything instantly improves it!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_82_703.jpg I know I've seen these dudes somewhere before...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_83_316.jpg "Where is everyone!?!?"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_84_970.jpg Those of you who grew up with Disneyland in California probably can appreciate this...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_93_964.jpg Lunch Time!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_94_619.jpg Oh, man...all that looks yummy!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_98_795.jpg I'm not exactly sure what it is...but it looks really good!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_99_143.jpg "Around the world with Elissa and plain pasta."  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_108_108.jpg WUUUUULLLLLFFFFFF!!!!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_109_302.jpg Professor Honeydew & Beaker made their way down Main Street talking to guests, spraying them with water and basically being both cool and creepy at the same time!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_113_180.jpg Just in case we forget what her name is!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_116_392.jpg We could be in California...we could be in Hong Kong.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_02_578.jpg Don't worry Hong Kong Disneyland...we will be back tomorrow! Next up...MORE Hong Kong Disneyland Photos with SPACE MOUNTAIN!!! Oooh! Ahhhh!!!! --Robb Alvey |

As promised, here is MORE Hong Kong Disneyland!!!
 Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_141_192.jpg Our 2nd day was one of our best Disney days ever! We started out with ERT on Space Mountain!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_171_106.jpg "That's right! We're all on Space Mountain and YOU'RE NOT...so THERE!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_172_118.jpg "This is what ERT should be like!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_173_108.jpg And if Space Mountain wasn't enough we also had ERT on Buzz Lightyear!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_174_654.jpg TPR members with guns...probably not the best idea!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_168_461.jpg Thank you to Hong Kong Disneyland from TPR for all the awesome ERT this morning!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_175_209.jpg Next up was a take over of the Autopia. We tried "Death Race" rules, but that didn't go over so well at Disneyland! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_177_212.jpg What a nice view of Space Mountain from the Autopia.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_178_199.jpg Jewy is licensed to drive in at least one country now.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_210_158.jpg OMG! Mickey is cheating on Minnie! With an 18 month old!!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_214_481.jpg Awww! Now mommy wants in on the hot rodent action.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_215_462.jpg It takes a small castle to make Jewy feel like a man!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_105_197.jpg "Silence.....of the lambs!!!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_205_939.jpg Dave and Joey auditioned for the band. They were told never attempt to play a musical instrument again!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_218_115.jpg Since when is eating a competition in the Special Olympics?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_224_937.jpg DETAIL SHOT!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_227_119.jpg If you like Nightmare Before Christmas then you NEED to get out to Hong Kong Disneyland!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_200_204.jpg HA! Joey is the same size as Alice!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_166_323.jpg We headed back to our hotel (Hollywood Hotel) which was AWESOME! Top notch Disney resort.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_162_323.jpg All the chocolate covered strawberrys you can eat!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_155_183.jpg The fireworks show is a bit different...it's more ground based pyro than air. Which is cool as it ads a bit of variety.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_153_205.jpg Lots of stuff is set off right on the castle.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_156_168.jpg And did we mention there are fire cannons? Adding fire to anything makes it cool!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_223_104.jpg There IS a castle down there somewhere. If you squint you might be able to see it! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hkdl_169_157.jpg We want to say THANK YOU again to Hong Kong Disneyland for making our time spent here AWESOME! Next stop...KOREA! Next park...LOTTE WORLD! We had just visited South Korea in 2008, but with T-Express just opened and we were not that far away, how could we not make at very least a quick trip? That we did! We figured we would also visit (and stay on property) at Lotte World, which, IMO, is one of the nicest parks in the world, especially for an indoor park. Lotte World is one of those parks where I can spend a couple of hours just walking around the place in amazement that it's all contained within the walls of a shopping mall for the indoor portion and over/under ground for the outdoor portion. We also worked out a film shoot on Atlantis Adventure so we could get some great footage and lots of rides! Last year we waited almost 90 minutes for our one ride, this year we rode the crap out of it for over an hour! I'm not sure where exactly I'd place Atlantis Adventure but it's truly "up there" as one of the most unique, most fun coasters in the world. Top 20 or 25 for me, and from someone that's been on well over 1,000 coasters, that's saying a lot! Anyway on to some photos and just for you all a bonus VIDEO!!! Enjoy! themeparkreview.com play.php Here is a new POV of Atlantis Adventure for all of you! Enjoy! (Sorry for the link - I couldn't get the embeddin to work)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_34_193.jpg Oh, good...the bus brought us to Lotte World instead of Nara Dreamland...but what do those two parks have in common? That's right! They both have a castle bigger than Disneyland's! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_22_116.jpg Of course we were here for Atlantis Adventure...so that's what we did!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_19_101.jpg Atlantis Adventure is currently the world's only Intamin "Aqua Trax"...unless of course you count Maverick at Cedar Point as well! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_05_652.jpg Here is the first launch on the ride. Sexy, no?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_10_180.jpg Here you can see the "aqua" portion of the ride.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_16_100.jpg We learned the hard way last year that the Korean's make a sport out of soaking passengers on the ride.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_17_171.jpg Here's how it's done....if you're in the last 2 rows you can stick your hand out of the car and reach the water below...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_11_120.jpg It creates a massive wave, and oddly enough a fatter looking version of Rich's face.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_12_125.jpg After the wave is created Rich's face goes back to normal and the passenger behind him looks like he just had a golden shower with an elephant. (And the only thing that would turn Jeff on even more is if that elephant was crushing bugs.)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_14_184.jpg The ride is awesome....you can see how compact it is.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_21_801.jpg The theming is impressive too. When you walk up to the ride, you can't see most of it! It's inside the giant castle/mountain/whatever it is.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_23_123.jpg And of course after riding the Aqua Trax for an hour there was really only one thing to do.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_24_726.jpg That's right....ride the bizarr-o underground spinning coaster where you get swallowed by a giant monster...no, I'm NOT making this up!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_28_197.jpg When you get old...you require at least 26 plates in order to eat lunch.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_36_640.jpg Now it's time for the creepy giant teeth monster dark ride.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_39_200.jpg "Hmmm...I wonder which of those beans turns the blob into a ladder?"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_41_594.jpg OMG! I just died and went to meat-on-stick heaven!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_72_674.jpg The indoor part of the park is just amazing looking....  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_75_388.jpg Yeah, that's right, this is all INDOORS!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_62_695.jpg From the interiour of the park, you can see the entrance to the rides, but the actual show building is set back even further beyond the walls of the park, or in some cases underground!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_69_162.jpg This absolutely is the best "Indy rip-off" ever...in fact, in some ways it's BETTER than the actual Indy ride!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_54_841.jpg Oh, no! Don't look into the eyes! You will start rapid aging!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_56_149.jpg Too late!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_58_113.jpg HISS!!! HISSY HISS HISS!!! HISS!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_66_162.jpg The queue is also equally well themed...(yeah, this is the queue!)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_67_175.jpg "Here we are...still in the queue!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_52_116.jpg BLARRGGGHHHHH!!! BLEEGGGHHH!!! BLEECCCHHH!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_43_119.jpg Here is the outside...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_44_101.jpg Looking awesome...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_73_211.jpg And inside looking equally as cool.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_76_124.jpg Except for the Vekoma death machine...that's the only amount of suckiness at the indoor section.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_59_161.jpg And yes, the ride on pandas can also be found here too!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_78_106.jpg After a full day at Lotte World what else do you do except drink ELEVEN beers!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_79_163.jpg Here's to Lotte World, Atlantis Adventure, and....um....ELEVEN BEERS!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com lotteworld_60_921.jpg KidTums says "I'm cute dammit! Send me stuff!!!" Next up...Everland and...OMG...T-Express!!! |

Next up on the trip agenda was Everland!
Now for those of you who have watched our Eagle's Fortess Video (and if you haven't download it now) you'll know that Everland is home to the best Arrow Suspended coaster in the world which also turned out to be one of our top ten coasters overall! (And if you want to see how an Arrow Suspended lands in someone's top ten out of over 1,000 coasters, download that video!) This year Everland has built "T-Express" (The T comes from the Korean Mobile company T World who sponsors the ride) and this could be one of the best wooden roller coasters in the world, and for many of our group is was #1! The story goes like this...we asked the project manager about the ride and he simply said "We rode Balder, then we rode El Toro...we asked Intamin if we could have BOTH." And that's pretty much what they got! It's like a mini El Toro plus Balder! Since our visit T Express has gone on to be ranked the #1 wood coaster in the world which has brought forth much controversy. If you are one of the many people who rank El Toro very highly chances are this ride will beat our Toro on your list. If you're not into the type of ride that is El Toro, this may not be your thing. I'll let the photos and the video speak for themselves.... T Express Video: themeparkreview.com play.php  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland02_537.jpg "Hi everyone! We are all here to ride one of the top roller coasters in the world....why aren't you here with us?!?!?"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland04_500.jpg So the next series of photos will basically be "coaster porn" starting with this one right as you exit the station. Check out how massive this ride is and it's built right against the side of the mountain!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland05_995.jpg Hello Mr. Cable lift hill! We are glad you don't slow down as much as your cousin El Toro in the US!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland06_147.jpg If that hill doesn't scream "pop my cherry" I don't know what does!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland21_205.jpg Yeah...I think that is what's happening here! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland20_105.jpg Hellllllloooooo 77 degree drop!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland07_252.jpg That should be known as the sea of airtime!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland18_980.jpg Or maybe "hairtime!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland08_304.jpg Um...there is a bottom to that drop right? RIGHT?!?!?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland69_685.jpg This is hands down the best first drop on any wooden roller coaster in the world!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland09_262.jpg And this second drop ain't half bad too! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland10_131.jpg Mmmm.....nice curves baby!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland11_179.jpg The drop off the midcourse into...well... "Balder"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland12_206.jpg Balder in the foreground, El Toro in the background!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland24_747.jpg Get ready for EXTREME HAIR MAKEOVER!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland14_145.jpg Hmm...I've suddenly got the urge to buy a mobile phone but I'm not sure why.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland15_570.jpg Head choppers anyone?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland17_623.jpg Good luck down in front!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland26_249.jpg Could this hill be the most extreme airtime ever?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland28_178.jpg Seriously the ride is airtime hill after airtime hill. It never lets up! If airtime is your thing you HAVE to come ride this!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland29_112.jpg I do believe everyone looks just a skosh happy! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland60_160.jpg At night, T-Express got even better!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland61_209.jpg Even without all the Halloween decorations it was eerily creepy and awesome!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland31_171.jpg Ok, so enough T-Express...now on to some other stuff! The park also has a lot of animals (think Busch Gardens Tampa) along with the rides. This one is the Zoo in SPAAAAACE!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland32_189.jpg Dammit! Every time I took a picture of these guys my browser crashes!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland33_180.jpg Just in case you wanted to try flying...here's how!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland36_149.jpg "These don't taste anything like Polar Bears!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland37_989.jpg "Hey! C'mon now! Enough with the damn scooby snacks! Throw me that kid!!!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland39_204.jpg NICE BEAVER!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland43_214.jpg This one is for you Mr. Turtle.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland46_175.jpg Aha! A Camel...you know what that means! That's right...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland47_157.jpg CAMEL TOE!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland49_155.jpg Just in case you forgot there is awesomeness right around the corner.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland50_110.jpg We attempted to watch the parade which included a sun and a giant Taco...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland51_154.jpg KidTums was more confused than anything else!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland56_109.jpg "Um, excuse me sir, are you aware that you have a smiley face pumpkin on your a$$?"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland59_162.jpg "Now how to I shift this Panda into 2nd gear again?"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland65_870.jpg Mmmm...Eagle's Fortress...an hour of ERT... *AT NIGHT*  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland66_116.jpg "This is number TWO in the world...behind T-Express!" =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland67_178.jpg Seriously, this ride is freaking AMAZING!!! We would post more photos, but there was nothing to see. They turned out the lights for us and it was PITCH BLACK Arrow Suspended awesomeness!!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com everland68_195.jpg "Do you think they will let me ride?" Sorry KidTums you have to wait until later...and who knows, maybe this ride will have new trains on it by then! (I didn't say that outloud, did I?) Anyway, I hope you enjoy the T-Express video! Another new update coming soon!

The last stop in Korea would be more of a "Credit Whore Day" that included Seoul Land and Children's Grand Park.
Nothing at either of these parks is amazing, in fact, some of the coasters are downright brutal and confusing! But then again, we had just had a day and night full of T-Express so pretty much after that anything else is going to suck! I will say that Seoul Land seemed much improved from our visit last year. The entire park looked like it got a coat of paint and a lot of TLC. Anyway, onto some photos and a VIDEO!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland47_617.jpg Today our method of transportation would be KOREAN SUBWAY!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland48_669.jpg The "20" actually refers to how many rides they have ripped off from other parks.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland49_102.jpg With Spaceship Earth being #1  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland12_958.jpg No, really! It's actually called SPACE SHIP EARTH!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland52_197.jpg The Wild Mouse had a bit of a delayed opening because, um....he was kind of tied down at the moment...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland54_214.jpg Cars LOOK like this should be a Wild Mouse....  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland56_987.jpg ...but the layout looks nothing like a Mouse.

Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland60_169.jpg I think the "Black Hole" portion of the ride are those death looking corkscrews right in the middle.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland62_812.jpg I can ride anything deadly as long as there are awesome chicken on sticks waiting for me at the exit!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland64_159.jpg Team "Sad and Pathetic" on the powered coaster!

Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland69_792.jpg This one really IS called "Kiddy Coaster!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland71_924.jpg And now it's time for the star attraction at the park...the "Columbia Double Loop Coaster!" Rumor has it that this ride is HAUNTED!!!

Quelle: themeparkreview.com seoulland25_132.jpg The story with this coaster is that they park bought it a few years ago and it was SBNO until about 8 weeks before our visit.

Yay! We have finally arrived in Tokyo! And this starts the Tokyo portion of the trip...DUH!
We got into Tokyo in the afternoon, checked into our hotel and then headed straight for some Intamin happiness...LaQua! LaQua is located smack in the middle of Tokyo at a place known as the "Tokyo Dome City" where they have roller coasters, play baseball and you can do some shopping! We stuck to mainly the roller coasters! Anyway, onto some photos....  Quelle: themeparkreview.com laqua_17_116.jpg Here we are a Seoul's airport. Very exciting!

Our next day was Nasu Highland, Seibuen, Aqua Stadium, and the quest for Yakatori!
Some of you may remember the last time were at Nasu, we rode coasters in the SNOW! (Click that link if you don't remember!) This time, no snow! But lots of ERT! In fact we had ERT on four of their coasters...including BIG BOOM which is like a Dive Machine...but not! Strange ride this one is (Why am I talking like Yoda...) Anyway, this is a VERY photo heavy report since we visited three parks and had some fun in Tokyo. Enjoy!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_01.jpg Our day started VERY early as Nasu Highland is a few hours outside of Tokyo. I wanted to teabag Joey but I wasn't allowed to. 
 Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_03.jpg We made a quick stop at the services that had this AMAZING machine. Sure, it looked like a typical coffee or drink machine, but check out the screen. There is a small camera INSIDE the machine that shows you what's happening on the other side of the panel.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_02.jpg It's completely unnecessary, but totally awesome! I love Japan!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_05.jpg Here we are at Nasu! This time, there's no snow! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_06.jpg Everyone ready for the Big Boom?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_10.jpg Big Boom is kind of like a "poor mans SheiKra" in that the first drop really is near vertical. (that's it on the left)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_11.jpg I still think that Nasu has the most "colorful" collection of coasters anywhere!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_12.jpg Holy crap!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_13.jpg "I know it's called Spin Turn, but it doesn't spin THAT much right....right?"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_88.jpg OMFG! This ride spun more than almost ANYTHING else I've been on!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_42.jpg Camel toe coaster!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_15.jpg Jeff gives us his best camel toe impression (it's not a very good one)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_14.jpg Camel toe coaster is pretty much one of those giant Japanese "Jet Coasters" - It's got to be at least 150 feet tall with lots of rampy hills. Not much airtime, but they are still fun rides.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_17.jpg SIGNATURE MOVE!!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_18.jpg Signature move FAIL!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_19.jpg Hey what is F2?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_38.jpg Ooooh....I'm really sorry guys!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_20.jpg As far as SLC's go I don't think it was that bad.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_22.jpg The boys are having a lot more fun on the Togo Death Machine flat ride!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_23.jpg This is seriously one MESSED UP flat ride!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_24.jpg "If you scan my shirt with your Japanese mobile phone it will take you to TPR!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_51.jpg PANIC!!! DRIVE!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_27.jpg "Hey guys! You are not panicking enough!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_28.jpg It looks more like "Happy Happy Joy Joy Drive"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_29.jpg Ok, they look slightly more freaked out.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_30.jpg Up it's a powered coaster.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_31.jpg Dirty, dirty whores!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_32.jpg "Hey Chris, is that a real tiger?"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_34.jpg Hi Joey...does this look familiar? It shouldn't!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_35.jpg It's like the double decker carousel from the Great America parks...but kind of looks like a mix between a rocket ship and a birthday cake with swans and random animals on the top...I LOVE JAPAN!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_36.jpg Speaking of bizarre things in the park - you can go fishing...yes, it's true, you can fish at Nasu Highland!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_37.jpg The little dude in the shack down there will give you all your fishing equipment.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_25.jpg And when you are done...LUNCH TIME!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_39.jpg Random Camel Toe Coaster Photo!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_40.jpg For those of you who remember the SBNO coaster "Lightning" from our last update...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_41.jpg It's gone.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_43.jpg BIG BOOOOOOM!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_44.jpg It's got one giant intense loop!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_45.jpg It's like Twisted Sisters but with a lot less suckiness! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_46.jpg OMFG! Yeah, the drop obviously isn't as steep as some of the dive machines, but holy crap it's scary!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_47.jpg Hello Big Boom, how are you doing?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_91.jpg Cute, yes?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_49.jpg Cute, no?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_90.jpg I just love how impressive the lower half of this park looks. Seriously that coaster collection down there is awesome! And thanks to the fantastic use of color you can make out each coaster easily!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_50.jpg Thank you Nasu Highland!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_52.jpg I hear that the tuna melts here KICK ASS!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_53.jpg Everyone crashes out on our way to the next park.

Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_71.jpg Our next stop was Seibuen. A smaller park in the middle of nowhere with a couple of credits (well, they have one, I think...)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_56.jpg OMG! I've died and gone to capsule machine heaven!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_57.jpg We're mostly "screwed"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_58.jpg Here is the coaster with the most BIZARRE queue ever!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_61.jpg Here is the queue...yes that's right...you sit down! They fill up a row of seats and then they tell you to stand up and board the train! WTF?!?!?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_62.jpg Did we mention that for whatever reason they totally segregated us from the other Japanese (do you blame them???) They put all the westerners in one row and the Japanese in the others. Then they boarded us last! It was actually pretty damn funny!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_59.jpg Oh, yeah, and it has a loop too...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_60.jpg Just in case you've already forgotten what coaster we are talking about. (We see you Jewy!!!)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_63.jpg And the trains were even CARPETED!!! How very shag of them!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_64.jpg For you coaster nerds, here's the layout and some random info.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_65.jpg The Baby swap gets Elissa and Leon the front row!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_66.jpg It's very cute, very Hello Kitty, but very whorish!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_67.jpg Yup.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_68.jpg It's like a mini-Harmonyland!

Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_86.jpg Because you can just never have enough Galaxy Express with the 15 minute pre-show!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_74.jpg TPR TAKEOVER of this bizarre Intamin indoor launched coaster!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_75.jpg Ok, next stop...the boys go on a search for Yakatori!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_76.jpg Shibuya is the destination of choice!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_77.jpg For Yakatori, follow this sign!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_78.jpg Head towards the building with the lights on it.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_84.jpg GO THIS WAY!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_80.jpg Gentlemen, we have SCORED!!! (It's also right across the street from the Disney Store if that helps!)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_82.jpg "I like meat on stick more than sex....I think...."  Quelle: themeparkreview.com nasuhighland_83.jpg Bob doesn't look so angry when he's eating dead animal flesh. Yum!

Ok time to come back to this thread and come back STRONG!!!! How about a little Tobu Zoo and a Kawasemi video as an "apology" for not getting to these updates sooner?
Anyway, Tobu Zoo is home to a new for 2008 Intamin "Mega Lite" called Kawasemi. All I can say about this amazing coaster is that it's all the power and airtime of Superman: Ride of Steel and Expedition GeForce packed into about 1/4 of the size. It's absolutely incredible! I really hope parks pick up on this little ride as the perfect "small coaster" that isn't too intimidating for older guests and really delivers. The rest of the park we did a quick run through. Got on Regina which is still very good, although a bit rougher this year. The Togo Looping Mouse was down for maintenance which is a bummer, but like we've always said be prepared for coasters to be closed in Japan. I do think Kawasemi more than made up for this! =) I still think that if you're in the area of Tokyo be sure to hit up this park. Even without Kawasemi it was a great place to visit and now it's got, IMO, the best steel coaster in Japan! First off, check out a video of Kawasemi. If you haven't seen one of these new Intamin "Mega-Lite" coaster in action, you HAVE to see this: themeparkreview.com play.php And now the photos...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_01.jpg This is what the group looks like all hyped up on caffeine and Japanese crack!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_02.jpg Still hyped up there is NO WAY we are going to turn down the opprotunity for a group photo in front of the coaster-morphing, huge knockers hot chick in the train station.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_03.jpg My god STOP GIVING THESE PEOPLE CAFFEINE!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_04.jpg Ok, let's pause for a moment. This is a lift hill shot, yes. And it's for those lift hill enthusiast dorks, yes, yes...but let's just point out that this is the lift to a coaster that will make our group scream with ultimate Intamin pleasure for the next hour or so. Read on...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_05.jpg The first drop may not look like much, but OMG does it deliver!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_06.jpg Are you wet yet?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_07.jpg It's just a mess of track everywhere!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_08.jpg Three airtime filled bunny hills in a row, thank you very much.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_09.jpg Mmmm....  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_11.jpg Dave looks happy...like a school boy who just found the hidden key to dad's liquor cabinet.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_12.jpg Just look at it...perfect curves and hills. Dolly Parton would be proud!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_14.jpg EXTREME AIRTIME AND GUM LINE!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_15.jpg Did we mention it goes under water?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_16.jpg Everyone's hands up? Check!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_17.jpg I beleive they are having a good time.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_18.jpg Three sexy bunny hills!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_19.jpg It's like there two of them...I wish there were two of them!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_22.jpg You guys don't mind riding like, 17 or 18 more times, right?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_23.jpg Wow! That is like the meanest Bob face I've ever...EVER seen!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_24.jpg Regina...she's sexy...and rough!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_25.jpg She'll give you a good beating but some men like that kind of thing! Yowza!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_26.jpg The park has a lot of nice curves.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_28.jpg Yay! Everyone is either happy or invisible!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_29.jpg "Hi, this is Robb and Martin, and I just want to let you all know that we normally don't look this bad...seriously...this could be the worst picture of us ever taken!!!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_30.jpg OMG! P-O-VEEEEEEE!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_32.jpg Ok so maybe Martin always looks like that! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_33.jpg Bob and his fan club!

Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_37.jpg Ok, enough of the other rides, did we mention this is one of the best coasters in the world?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_38.jpg Amazing...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tobuzoo_39.jpg It's like Superman, Goliath, and Expedition GeForce shrunk down and cute!

I'm now convinced that Fuji-Q is the worst run amusement park in the world. We have had three visits there over four years and each visit has been equally as horrible but for different reasons.
This time around it was mostly weather related. Yes, the ride capacity and slow crew issues were still there, but on this visit I saw some of the worst park policies and operations I've ever seen. Let me just describe our day.... On the day of our visit we knew there would be rain. It was fore-casted for the bulk of the rain to start about 4pm and thanks to the nearly perfect Japanese weather forecasting that's exactly when it started. But up until then we were supposed to get patches of good weather here and there. And that's what we got. We also know that Fuji-Q has a tendency to shut down almost everything in the rain, even a slight mist. Which is completely retarded because for a country where it rains 300 days out of the year and where most of the other parks seem to be able to operate their attractions in the rain, why has Fuji-Q purchased rides that can't be operated even in a gentle mist (so they claim.) We arrived at the park with a good amount of time to spare which is good because the line to get into the park stretched so far back that I'm sure it took some people two hours to get into the park with the only 4 ticket booths they had open. (watch the video, the clip at the beginning with the long line is the line to get in the park!!!) Luckily we were in the front of that line. Score one for TPR trips always getting to parks early! Once we were in the park and we could see what rides were operating I told the group "Ok, it's going to rain...at the moment it would appear that Dodonpa and Fujiyama are running, but Eejanaika was not. You guys now need to make a choice...do you want to jump on Dodonpa or Fujiyama or try to wait it out for Eejanaika knowing that one is the most temperamental in the rain." Some of the group headed for Dodonpa, the other half went to Eejanaika. I was with the group that went to Eejanaika. We got to the ride to find it closed. We were told it wasn't due to the weather but due to the block checking taking a long time (not surprising since Magic Mountain's also seems to open late quite often) About 10 minutes later they let us in line, we board the train, and are on the first train out. The rest of our group is on the 2nd train...and then it starts to rain...actually it started to gentle mist! They closed the ride. In fact, those two trains were the *only* trains to dispatch that day. We ran off the ride and it started to rain a bit harder. By this time everything was closed. Luckily one of the walk through dark rides where you stand in a coffin was open! Oh, yay! Most of the group went and did that, the rest of us had a beer because we needed it to get through our day at Fuji-Q.
Then the weather got a bit better and rides started to re-open. Since the Thomas coaster was right nearby we hit that one up. At this point the rain had stopped but the only coasters open were the Thomas coaster, Fujiyama, and Zola 7. The group figured it would be best to try for Fujiyama since Zola 7 will run in the rain anyway....We get over to Fujiyama...the line is posted at *three hours* Ugh. It rains on and off, scattered showers, some scattered clouds and sometimes we even see the sun break through now and then. Oddly enough Fujiyama never shut down even during the scattered rain showers. There was a point in time where we had no rain for about 90 minutes of the group waiting in that three hour line but nothing else ever re-opened...Wild Mouse, Hamster Coaster, Dodonpa, even the Thomas coaster had finally closed. And like REALLY closed. All crews were sent home and the trains covered up. It seemed to make no sense that they could operate Fujiyama in rain, but nothing else. Why is this? And of course they were running Fujiyama as slow as humanly possible. For those who were waiting in the 3 hour line it was PAINFUL. I did some walking around the park while they waited and made even more observations about how horrible this park is run. For example, why is it they seem to go out of their way to buy low capacity rides? For one of the busiest parks in Japan, why did they buy a Wild Mouse that only seats two people at a time? Why did they get Dodonpa that only seats 8? Their kiddie coaster is one of the smallest I've ever seen and the Hamster Coaster also only seats up to 2 people! Even the "new for 2008" ride which was a river rapids ride only had boats that held 4 people at a time, and they were only putting 2 per boat! WTF! A park of this size should be buying a river rapids ride that holds 10 to 12 people per boat and sending out a crap load of them. Anyway, back to our group waiting three hours for Fujiyama... They have now been waiting over 2 hours and are only at the bottom of the outside ramps (for those of you who know the layout of the park know what I'm talking about.) All of a sudden...the ride closes. No warning, no reason, the rain hasn't gotten any harder, it's still *exactly* how it was for the last two hours. And it REALLY closed. They shut all the doors and one of the employees even came out and emptied the ticket machines. They told everyone to leave the line. WTF?!?! So now after waiting over two hours, we're totally screwed. At this point the group is so frustrated.... We go over to Zola 7..it's another 45 min line. *sigh* Fine. They ride that...we wander around for a bit more hoping more rides open up. The rain hasn't gotten any worse in the past hour and a half and we're all just baffled as to why Fujiyama ran just fine in the rain for 2 hours and then shut down. We check out the Thomas dark ride, ride the carousel, and wander looking for any open ride. Even the walk through haunted hospital is a *FOUR HOUR* line not including the 45 minute attraction. So if we wanted to do this ride it would be a *FIVE HOUR* commitment! WTF is wrong with this park!??!?! Why do they think it's totally acceptable to offer attractions that are 3 to 5 hours worth of waiting in line? Now we finally start to get that heavier 4pm rain. "SCREW THIS PLACE!!!" Finally we leave....and I really never ever want to come back. I really believe that Fuji-Q is the worst operated park in the world! In all my travels I have never found any place as terrible as this park. The park is operated like crap, the rides aren't very good, and the crews are just miserable. When the best area in the park is your kiddie land and the best ride is your Thomas the Tank Engine dark ride and everyone can't wait to leave, you really know the place sucks. Ok, onto photos and a video! Video: themeparkreview.com play.php Note - the footage in this video was taken from three different visit to Fuji-Q because it takes that long to get all the credits in!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_23.jpg Here is the new entrance to Fuji-Q. We think that Fuji-Q *actually* on fire would be much better than this.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_21.jpg Make a mental note - Do not fight the bears while at Fuji-Q!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_19.jpg Yay! We all look so happy! Boy, our attitude will change REAL QUICK!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_24.jpg Oh, look, they can't get Eejanaika open with the park. Here, let me put on my *shocked* face!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_25.jpg Finally they get the ride open and let us in. Now let's take a look at how Eejanaika does their loading because it's quite interesting. There are three of these "pens" where everyone has a foot mark to stand on and lockers to put your stuff...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_26.jpg You put all your crap in the locker and no one else will be in this pen until you get back, so it's nice and safe.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_27.jpg The trains you can see are the older style X trains with the "pickle forks"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_29.jpg Note the additional padding that has been added to the restraints! (It needs it!)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_30.jpg And also additional seat belts.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_28.jpg Since they have three of these pens, one is always getting ready to load, one pen worth of people is out on the circuit, and the third pen is empty ready to be loaded. It actually works awesome, and this is the *only* ride in the park where they actually have their act together for loading/unloading.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_36.jpg Of course they can't seem to operate the ride in a gentle mist, which is what happened right after we rode. The coaster looked like this the rest of the day. I will say that my ride this year was much better than last year, but it's still nowhere near as good as X2 is.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_34.jpg Hmm...with all the rides closed due to the gentle mist, what's the only thing you can do to keep yourself sane in this horrible park?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_35.jpg DRINK BEER!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_63.jpg Don't be fooled by that sign! This is attraction is actually OPEN! (They just didn't bother to move the sign because, well, why bother, it will just close down in ten minutes anyway...)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_58.jpg  h! We are actually getting a hint of blue sky! Does that mean rides will open? Well, maybe one or two for a VERY short time...I mean, it's is Fuji-Q, they can't possibly have rides open for people to enjoy!
 Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_20.jpg There is some curious nerdy stuff going on here....  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_31.jpg NERD!!!!! (Really Julie, we love you...but you're a NERD!!!!) =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_02.jpg This is pretty much how these two coasters looked the rest of the day. As you can see, it's cloudy...but it's not raining.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_05.jpg OMG! OMG! OMFG!!! A coaster!!! And it's....it's....OMG! OPEN!!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_11.jpg YES! And *only* a 2 and a half hour line!!! (Well, actually it was 3, but we were being hopeful!)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_32.jpg We'll get back to those standing in that three hour line later, but for now, let's have a look at the rest of the park. Here is the "new for 2008" rapids ride...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_33.jpg Ok, can someone please tell me why the f**k this park buys a rapids ride that only seats four people and then only puts two in a boat?!?! Seriously, it's like they are trying so hard to win the "lowest capacity park" award.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_40.jpg Yay! Only TWO HOURS if you want to ride the new rapids ride! You know, Fuji-Q, Intamin and other companies sell a rapids ride that seats 10 to 12 people per boat and most small parks even have this model. Not sure if ever noticed that.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_37.jpg Oh, look. Another god-awful capacity ride that only holds TWO people per car...and it's CLOSED. Do you see rain? I don't. But it's Fuji-Q, and Fujiyama is open which means they couldn't possibly have other rides going at the same time.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_38.jpg Oh, look. The Thomas coaster is closed for "bad weather" which is odd because the weather conditions are EXACTLY the same when we just rode it an hour ago.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_39.jpg Here's the haunted hospital that everyone goes ga-ga about. It's a 45 minute attraction that only has a four hour line! That's right, if you want to experience this attraction you only have to dedicate *FIVE HOURS* to it. WTF?!?!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_41.jpg Dave and I decided we would buy some weapons out of the capsule machines for our friends in line so they can shoot who ever is making the line take so long!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_42.jpg Yup, there is the line...3 hours long...as you can see, the ground is wet, but it's only raining lightly, on and off, can you even see some blue sky hovering over Eejanika. A park like this should be able to operate at least more than *ONE* coaster in a light scattered rain. It's so irresponsible of the park to purchase a collection of rides they can't operate (so they say) in a country where it rains 300 days out of the year. And they make NO EFFORT to try to get any rides open when the rain stops. They just send their crews home. This is the park's fault. And another reason why I feel they are one of the worst run parks in the world.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_13.jpg The crew decides to use the weapons on themselves because it's a general consensus that suicide may actually be BETTER than being at Fuji-Q.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_14.jpg "Kill me...please kill me...get me out of this park!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_15.jpg Actually, screw that...everyone KILL LAUREN!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_04.jpg Ok, now the biggest WTF of the day. All of a sudden, they just close Fujiyama. No explanation, no nothing. It's been raining on and off the same and they've kept the ride open the entire time. And NOW they decide to close it?!?!?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_03.jpg And like they REALLY closed it. Shut all the doors, emptied the ticket machines, it was DOWN FOR THE COUNT the rest of the day. Why?!?!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_17.jpg Ugh, fine...might as well try to get on Zola 7. This coaster is all indoors and I would assume that it's still open! (Please also note - it's NOT RAINING!)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_01.jpg Yay! We get to shoot stuff! You need to take your aggressions out somehow.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_07.jpg "Two...that's right...hopefully we'll get at least TWO credits today!" (I think most everyone in the group actually managed to get THREE!!!)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_08.jpg "I really hope I get to shoot the park manager"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_06.jpg "Would anyone like more alcohol to get them through their day at Fuji-Q?"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_59.jpg Hey look! More closed rides! (note while there are scattered clouds in the background, it's NOT RAINING!!!)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_60.jpg The fog is quite low which is what seems to be causing the gentle mist which keeps all of Fuji-Q's rides closed. You can ALMOST make out Mt. Fuji!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_22.jpg Lydia, who hates Thomas even decides "I'd rather be in Thomas Land than anywhere else in Fuji-Q!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_18.jpg Seriously the dark ride is great!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_16.jpg And even though the park completely sucks, at least TPR members are still managing to have a bit of fun!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_56.jpg Even Mr. Angry insect says "Please get me the hell out of Fuji-Q!!!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_55.jpg "Cake the Pocket" is better than anything at Fuji-Q  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_44.jpg Finally about 4pm it starts to rain hard. It makes no sense why the park would basically "pack it up" about 2-3 hours before hand. Why not at least TRY to keep some rides running as long as possible? (I like how someone has stolen the menu to keep dry!) LOL!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_10.jpg Good thing everyone has that TPR poncho in their goodie bag! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_45.jpg After a craptacular day and one of the worst parks in the world what better way to make it up than to hang out in Tokyo!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_51.jpg Ahh, this is so much better than the lights of Tivoli! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_54.jpg Dave and Eric are proud of themselves...they have successfully bored a poor old Japanese lady to death!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_52.jpg Wait, I know this place...there is something very amazing near here!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_50.jpg That's right! MEAT ON STICKS!!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_48.jpg "Screw Fuji-Q...we have meat and beer!!!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_47.jpg Suck it down baby!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_49.jpg "Hey Joey! Watch me eat the quail egg!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com fujiq_46.jpg There really isn't anything better than this...and certainly NOT at Fuji-Q! |

Next Stop on the TPR Tokyo Tour...Hanayashiki!!!
This is one bizarre, but AWESOME park! It's smack in the middle of the city (in the Asuska area) with some amazing looking temples and street markets surrounding it. The park itself houses the "Oldest coaster in Japan" as well as some other cool, messed up, awesome attractions. It's one of those little "gem" parks where you have to try to see and do everything! We must now look at photos...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_35.jpg Here we are arriving at Hanayashiki...looks innocent from the front, right? This park was amazing! It was like the Bon Bon Land or Klotten of Japan!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_34.jpg Pretty gardens, looks good so far!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_29.jpg First up was the "Roller Coaster", and this one is the oldest in Japan built in 1953.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_16.jpg TPR Gang is ready to roll!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_14.jpg The park manager tells us these trains are brand spankin' new! And they look it!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_19.jpg Although they aren't kind to long legs! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_18.jpg It's ok Dave, I'm sure you've been in rougher positions!
 Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_30.jpg Here is what the oldest coaster in Japan looks like!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_15.jpg In very much the "Blackpool fashion" you can see how the rides and shops are built on different levels to help save space.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_01.jpg Japanese Fun Fun Ride!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_22.jpg The park is plopped right down in the middle of the city! (I just really wanted to use the word 'plop')  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_23.jpg Here we have a look at the rest of the park. Yes it's small, but it's some quirky awesome fun!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_24.jpg First drop! Can you guys take it?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_25.jpg The faces of joy!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_26.jpg Yay for the oldest Japanese coaster tunnels!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_42.jpg It almost looks like you're going right under someone's house!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_28.jpg On one side of the street, some random buildings, on the other side, Japan's oldest coaster!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_10.jpg "We love the ride....but we can't feel our legs!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_08.jpg Still nowhere near as old as Jeff Johnson!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_32.jpg Religious experience on the Space Shot or bowel movement...you decide!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_36.jpg "Ok, quick...everyone do your best 'scanners' impression!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_37.jpg The rotating house was a bit...um.... "cozy?"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_38.jpg Next up was the "Sit around the table in the dark and listen to weird stuff being pumped into your ears" attraction.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_39.jpg The camera flash reveals that in the dark, we all make really dorky faces!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_04.jpg "Hello, I'm the funny blue troll monster. Please come inside my maze torture and insanity."  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_40.jpg But first, RANDOM BOOBS!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com hanayashiki_43.jpg The maze of wackiness including passages made for Oompa Loompas and random hanging foliage.

Since we were doing some credit whoring today, we made a brief stop at Sea Paradise for two reasons: Blue Fall and Helix: The Ride, aka "Surf Coaster!" Both rides are awesome and well worth the train ride out to Sea Paradise...
Onto some photos....  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seaparadise_08.jpg Hey everyone! You all excited about Blue Fall?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seaparadise_07.jpg KidTums is already knows how to ride the train!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seaparadise_09.jpg Fuk-U-Ura...this is not our stop!

Quelle: themeparkreview.com seaparadise_30.jpg Anyone remember this ride from Magic Mountain?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com seaparadise_31.jpg Pinocchio says "Eat lots of Frozen Coke!"

Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_06.jpg ...but it's at night when this park REALLY comes alive!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_04.jpg The park is located on both sides of the bay. The Ferris wheel and "Diving Coaster" is located on one side...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_05.jpg ...and there are some flat rides and the kiddie coaster are located on the other. It's a short walk between the two.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_09.jpg Enough pretty lights talk...let's ride a roller coaster!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_07.jpg Yes, Diving Coaster is pink...very pink...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_24.jpg You guys all ready for the pink diving coaster?

Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_35.jpg And in addition to the awesome lights, Cosmoworld is also home to some REALLY wacky dark rides! You guys ready?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_16.jpg This one they almost didn't want us to ride because it's all in Japanese and they were afraid we wouldn't understand the story...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_26.jpg Who needs to speak Japanese to understand "BOOBS!!!!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_29.jpg This dark ride is "Dolphin Safe"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_27.jpg There is even something for our gay contingent to look at!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_28.jpg But most importantly...BOOBS!!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_34.jpg "So you guys ready to go on the ride with boobs and half naked dudes while holding a phallic object?"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_13.jpg CAPTION CONTEST!!!! EMAIL DAN YOUR CAPTION!!! mrt0ad13@aol.com The first 10 people to have their caption posted will get a TPR Bag-O-Crap! Be sure to email him your mailing address too!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_15.jpg Why are these dudes in every Japanese shooting dark ride?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_14.jpg Even KidTums got to play this one!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_31.jpg Cosmoworld is also one of the homes to the original "Meat Animals" and especially "Meat Cow."  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_30.jpg No, Dave is not dead. Although he looks dead. He is actually overwhelmed with joy and happiness that he has found Meat Cow. You just can't tell because joy and happiness in Dave looks the same as death.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_32.jpg These "Meat Animals" tell you what meat parts are included. There is Meat Cow, Meat Pig, Meat Fish, Meat Chicken, Mean Human (yes, that's right), and now the brand new Meat Holstein which is a descendant of Meat Cow.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_36.jpg Ok time to head over to the other side of the park! Get your jet packs ready to FLY!!! (Yes, they have Jet Packs in Japan because they are so advanced.)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_18.jpg The other side of the park looks just as awesome!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_19.jpg Lots of lights and dizzy stuff.

Quelle: themeparkreview.com cosmoworld_21.jpg And what does every TPR member do after a day of coasters? That's right! Close one eye and stick your tongue out! Thanks for reading!!! One of the most bizarre parks EVER is up next! --Robb |

Our last stop before Tokyo Disney was the "Tokyo Teleport" area which has a ton of amusements, shopping and lots of crazy stuff!
One of the best arcades with tons of capsule machines is located here, Sega Joypolis is also across from the station at a huge entertainment complex called "Tokyo Decks." Also housed in that complex is this update's showcase destination "Muscle Park." Some of you may remember Muscle Park from last year's update, but we made a very quick visit. This year now that we know more about the place we spent some time and all I have to say is that this is a *MUST SEE* if you are into some awesome 'wacky' places to check out and have fun at while in Japan. Onto some photos....  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_51.jpg We head out to "Tokyo Teleport" on a very crowded JR train!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_52.jpg "Why are all the Japanese taller than me?"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_50.jpg Tokyo Teleport is an amazing place. It houses lots of amusement areas, shopping malls, etc, etc...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_49.jpg Today we challenge MUSCLE PARK!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_06.jpg Muscle Park is home to the official "Sasuke" course which for those of you may not know, is called "Ninja Warrior" here in the USA!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_17.jpg And yes, for women to compete you gotta chop your nails!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_20.jpg Elissa's "s**t eating grin" on the hand bike!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_08.jpg Mike is the only one of us who was able to defeat the salmon ladder!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_07.jpg Julie shows off some belly on the arm rings!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_16.jpg Rich! Just pretend they are donuts and you'll make it!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_18.jpg Looks like Joey is going to make the hand bike!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_19.jpg Oooooh! Jew down!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_21.jpg Elissa is almost at the end of the course!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_22.jpg OMG! A shark is eating her off screen!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_24.jpg "I might be dead....but I made it!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_53.jpg "Almost there... just a couple of seconds..."  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_15.jpg "Raise your hands....if you're SURE!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_10.jpg 'I am woman! Hear me roar!'  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_33.jpg Yes, Elissa is a Ninja Warrior fanboy!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_34.jpg Elissa says "I love you Makato Nagano and Shingo Yamamoto!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_31.jpg The rest of the park is like Wii Fit on steroids! Watch your balance guys!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_29.jpg Smooth moves!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_32.jpg "Every time you press that button, god kills a kitten."  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_45.jpg 'With much concentration comes greatness!'  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_68.jpg 42 kittens...dead!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_69.jpg All the games here were awesome! This one you had to press the buttons in a certain pattern as fast as humanly possible.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_39.jpg "Ranking Park!" Is that anything like the Rankin Bridge?  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_40.jpg It's like IAAPA exploded in Japan!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_41.jpg And yes, they even had Ninja Warrior for kids!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_42.jpg More awesome crazy games!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_43.jpg And GUNS! You can't possibly have a muscle park without guns!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_44.jpg I'm not even sure what this is, but it's got two balls and a strange looking guy.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_37.jpg Of course no theme park would be without some kind of eatery.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_36.jpg And if you're going to work out you need to eat! And this "Monster Burger" is no exception! Have a look at that thing! Each stack is a separate entree!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_38.jpg Mmmm...and burger that comes in a box that big has to be awesome!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_35.jpg C'mon guys! Scarf down that Monster Burger! Make Takeru Kobayashi proud of you!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_26.jpg Two wheels of numbers, a wheel of random geometric shapes...I'm so confused...but it's so awesome!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_27.jpg Baseball Tic-Tac-Toe....yup!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_04.jpg They had models of the real Ninja Warrior courses on display.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_05.jpg Fans of the TV show must be drooling right now!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_48.jpg Like many other Japanese parks you have to buy tickets for each of the "attractions" (don't worry, it's not as confusing as it looks!)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_55.jpg This game was awesome! Basically each person (Rich and Elissa here) have a movable piece of track that they have to move while the train is in motion. They move the track piece, pick of a block out of the storage and put the block on the stack. Then they have to move the stack and the track back into place without the stack of blocks falling over. Got it? Let's watch....  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_56.jpg Elissa has a small stack of blocks...track is in place...train came through...looking good!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_57.jpg Rich's stack is getting bigger, train is coming around faster now...  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_58.jpg Elissa just barely gets the stack in place for the train to safely make it through!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_59.jpg Woah! Rich has a BIG stack! =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_61.jpg Uh oh....this game is getting close now!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_60.jpg Rich freaks out like a little girl who just got her training wheels off!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_62.jpg SKLOOSH!!!! Oh no Rich just lost to a girl!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_63.jpg Ice Bat does NOT approve of this epic fail!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_66.jpg "Jews don't play sports, man!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_64.jpg Elissa versus Rich once again! This time, it's a mental challenge....  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_65.jpg Elissa: "YES!!! I am smarter than a police officer!!!" =)  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_71.jpg Right next door to Muscle Park is Sega Joypolis. Another awesome, crazy, must see attraction at Tokyo Teleport!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_72.jpg Joypolis is a multi-level indoor amusement park with roller coasters, flat rides, video games, virtual reality and all kinds of crazy stuff.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_73.jpg Spin Bullet is one of the most brutally messed up must-ride coasters ever!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_74.jpg "You guys are all about to get raped!"  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_70.jpg but forget about Joypolis....GIVE ME THAT MOUNTAIN OF SUSHI!!!!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com musclepark_01.jpg And of course the most amazing attraction in all of Tokyo Teleport...Condomania!!!! Thanks for reading! Next up...the grand finale of this update! Lots of Tokyo Disney Resort photos!!! --Robb |

And now the part you've all been waiting for! TOKYO DISNEY RESORT!!!
When going through the photos from the trip I normally try to narrow down to about 40 or 50 photos per park. This time around I ended up with just over 200 pictures of Tokyo Disney and I thought "what the hell!" everyone loves to see photos of this amazing park so I'll just post them all!

Hey everyone!
I got a bit distracted last week so I apologize for the delay...but now...MORE TOKYO DISNEYLAND photos! Seriously, can you ever get tired of Tokyo Disneyland photos? No? Well, then, how about a Tokyo Disneyland VIDEO? We will start off this update with a video from TPR's visit to Tokyo Disney and then another 50ish photos from the park...enjoy! themeparkreview.com play.php Tokyo Disneyland VIDEO! (And remember, if you like these videos, you can pick up the latest round of TPR DVDs HERE!) And now some PHOTOS!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_54.jpg The Tokyo Disney party bus is here to take TPR on another fun fill day of Japanese Mickey Mouse!

Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_59.jpg Like I said before, not *quite* a much of a suck-fest as Florida's version!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_60.jpg Ahh, Space Mountain. It got a nice re-hab minus the music, but it's still awesome because it's at Tokyo Disney.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_62.jpg "You can do whatever you want to the station, but you're only allowed to use the color blue."  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_63.jpg Shooting Dark Ride! Yeah, it's the same as the other versions, but that's ok.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_64.jpg Country Bears in Japanese = awesomeness!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_65.jpg Max, Buff, and Yakatori.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_66.jpg I'm not sure what is more disturbing about this picture - Wall-E and his Levi 501 Jeans or Remi's severed head being held by Iron Chef Morimoto.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_67.jpg For some very strange reason, this coaster didn't suck this time around!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_68.jpg Indy queue = better than Disneyland!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_69.jpg It's almost totally pointless, but at the same time it's completely awesome!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_70.jpg Hey look!

Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_76.jpg Robot Boobies!  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_77.jpg "Hey everyone! We are at Tokyo DisneySea and you're not! SO THERE!

Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_79.jpg King Triton is my homeboy.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_80.jpg That's right! Don't mess with Triton if you know what's good for you.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_81.jpg This is basically "Flik's Fun Fair" from Disney's California Adventure, but indoors and with a lot less "Californianess" added.  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_82.jpg Have you ever seen the "Evil bastard cook that tries to kill Sebastian" at any other Disney park???  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_83.jpg What are you guys doing to that snail to make him THAT happy???  Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_84.jpg Taj Mahal wannabe.

Quelle: themeparkreview.com tokyodisney2008_93.jpg Like I said, Raging Spirits was really fun this time around!
