I just took another look at that picture...is it me or does Joey look like a figure out of a wax museum? Sort of...mannequin like.

Didn't get back to TDS for Raging Spirits' re-opening, hmmm?



But you did get some credits, and that's a good thing.



Miss you already Peter. You and your "dashing style" to get our fastpasses, when (and which ones) needed, lol.

Great touring around with you and Mike, and Mark and Adam, and Ginny, and ...

WAAAAAAAAAAH. Miss everybody already, sniff sniff.

No, since it will probably be easier to go back to TD then Tobu, but most we were there for the credits, and 3 is better then 1, and we got some nice photos o fthe coaster under construction as well.

You should know that I almost couldn't walk the mornings after that, and I had pain in my legs for several days after Disnay, but better that then standing in line waiting, and not getting as many rides as we did.


Miss you all, hopefully we all meet again in the future!!!

[thrillerman1Can you see the donkey in my toast?]

Hmmm you know those Disney girls do look familiar. Could it be they were at Universal following us around at Jaws? Maybe I'm just dreaming. I'll have to double check the pics when I can get them uploaded.

I miss EVERYONE! Hope to see you in Europa next year.

I totally agree on that.

And me and Mike both hope the pain in your legs gradually went away, and left you with fond fastpass memories, instead.



Again, awesome for you to do that for us, Peter. Many many thanks.

And if you were having pain in your legs afterwards - remember how winded and close to a heart meltdown I was, that one (and thankfully only) time I left you guys at Peter Pan, to get fastpasses at Buzz? That was enough for me, I must tell you, heh heh.

But - let's do it again at DisneyParis next year, shall we???

[BarryHHe's kind of sad and pathetic]

My reccomendation would be to go try out the ride for yourself, just be forewarned about Fuji-Q's horrible park operations, and sit on an inside seat!!!

--Robb

I waited 3 1/2 hours for Eejenkia (henceforth known as "Japanese X"). I did an inside seat and I liked it! the flips were a lot smoother than X and the ride was really great. I'm glad I didn't choose an outside seat.

I did ride X at Magic Mountain about a week later. That ride was terrible! I was in the front row and on an inside seat. The flips were like I was riding a rusty old crank and it hurt a lot. People were coming off the coaster saying, "That was an awesome ride!" I came off saying, "Ow, ow, ow, ow." The line was a little bit outside of the load platform and I waited 50 minutes on a one train operation. Way to go, Magic Mountain!

[pagemaster_bI'm slow]

"Ow, ow, ow, ow."

That's the clean version of what I said on X and the Japanese X.

The best part is that it doubled as a drinking fountain!

I was hoping I would never hear that joke again. Thank you for making me gag again.

Hi Robb

We ran into you briefly at Fuji-Q Highland. We just want to thank you again for the awesome trip notes you have provided on your site for Japan! Without them there is no way we would have found our way to parks such as Expoland or Tobu Zoo!

Your trip looked like a lot of fun & for all those of you out there who keep banging on about how much fun Japan looks - well, it is fun!! Get over there & see it!! Robb & Elissa have done the hard work. Print out their guide & use it as your bible. With no real Japanese to speak of, I am proof that it works and you will find your way around no problem!

Quick bit of advice though. The 2 most important Japanese words you should learn are:

SHINKANSEN - Japanese for "Bloody Fast Train!"
EEJANAIKA - Japanese for "Bloody Long Queue!"

Thanks again for helping with our trip Robb & Elissa. Hopefully we will bump into you again at another park soon!

BEN (Coaster Dooey) & Vivienne (GotWood?)

P.S.- Whilst I agree with everything you said about the operations at Fuji-Q, you still have to admit, their squid on a stick makes for a damn tasty lunch!
