Hey everyone!

For the entire month of December we will be posting a TPR video EVERY DAY between now and Christmas Eve!

Some of the videos will be classics you may have been watching for years, some of them will be BRAND NEW, never before seen!

And some of you may be seeing even the older videos for the first time!

Either way, we hope you enjoy them have a GREAT holiday season!

Let's start out with this classic from Nara Dreamland...the "knock off Disneyland" in Japan. While this park was absoultely terrible (sans Aska, the wooden roller coaster) it was probably one of the more unique and "interesting" parks in the world.

It closed its doors in 2006 and from what I've been told the park is still standing, litterally like an abandoned ghost town. Creepy!

Enjoy the video!

That Nara Dreamland video is classic.

This would have been a great park to have seen in person. But at least it will live on forever on TPR.

The woodie looked pretty good? What was the creepy looking building? Some kind of haunted house?

The Nara Dreamland video is one of my favorite TPR videos.

Yup google maps confirms its still there
maps.google.com/?t=k&om=1&ll=34.699769,135.823422&spn=0.007656,0.013497

and found this on another site pics taken after the closure always looks sad to see coasters abandoned even if they were rubbish.
