Penguin Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I just love the Sanrio park. I have to visit there and HKDL sometime. They both look like great parks and what could be better than penguins and rodents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianojohn Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Awesome TR! I remember when I was in Osaka in 2001 that the electronics were about 2-3 years ahead of the US. I wonder how much longer until we have HD camcorders! Â Have fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzCatter Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 We got Mario Kart Arcade at the Ameristar here, and it's by far the best MK I've ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiCoastal Kid Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I think it would be fun to ride coasters in the snow! 8)  Oh, well....just gives us something to come back to during out trip next year!  Shouldn't that be a group trip! Maybe, we'll see.....  --Robb "Elissa and I still gotta do a few trips on our own too, you know!" Alvey  You give 'em an inch...  Great shots guys.

TPDOM Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 About Mario GP, if you didn't know it does actually have an American Release. You can find it in many Namco arcades here(and it kicks serious butt too). Â Â Oh hey look, I made my first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Turbine Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Mario Kart in the arcades?!?!? Why don't we have that! Actually Robb, I recently saw that in the Stararcade at DLR. I didn't play it because I ran out of money spending it on food! Â Wow, only Vekoma credits. That sucks. Nice pics, can't wait for tommorow's! ---Brent 8) Â *is going to DLR in February* Â ....you know you can play as Pac-Man, right? Mario Kart Arcade GP craps on both MK:DD and MKDS... sadly. Â Oh, Robb, get this: YOU GUYS MISSED A CREDIT! Â Yeah! There's a new coaster opening in downtown Tokyo in January... ON A ROOFTOP! It's an INTAMIN HALF-PIPE, and... just see for yourself! It's opening on top of Don Quijote, the deparment store! Â Ha! You guys missed a healthy Intamin credit... on a rooftop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastered Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I found some information about that rooftop coaster on rcdb.com (http://www.rcdb.com/id3383.htm) It says the coaster was opened and closed this december, because of many complaints about noise during construction.

CoasterCrazy Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I wish I could ride the Intamin Half Pipe, I hope I get to ride it in 2007! Â It would be fun to ride a coaster that is on top of a building! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Turbine Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I actually read somewhere while Googling the subject just now () that they're making it quieter and reopening in January. Â Here's hoping that happens. It's in the middle of a city on a roof, what more do these people want? Isn't there a lot of noise in the city already?

niiicolaaah Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Oddly enough this coaster wasn't that bad. It was certainly bigger than I thought it would be! *that's what she said!* Â this made me laugh the hardest of anything in the whole update.

TonyaGaddy Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 How fun. I bet it's quite cool on those coasters, especially when theres snow everywhere. That be like riding a roller coaster right now where I live. lol Awesome. A Hello Kitty park could possibly kill me, I hate Hello Kitty. It would seem to peppy for me.

I won't always post, but I'm keeping up with your escapades every day or two as time permits! Â I miss Japan so much!! Â -Dan "Bring me back a Rabbit Burger!"

SharkTums Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Figured I should chime in real fast: Â - The Trip is awesome!!! Â - A lot of times when you come away really loving a place, then you go back and it's not 'quite' as cool as you remember...this is NOT the case. Japan is everything I remembered and more! We're discovering more and more great stuff everyday. Â - Again, it's really not about the parks and coasters being 'amazing', more so the amazing experiences going to all of these crazy places. A lot of people think we're crazy for going to Japan 'just for coasters', but we're getting much more off the beaten track and seeing more of the country than any normal tourist! Â - Food, I've tried some 'real asian food'...I'm glad there are a lot of McDonalds and Mister Donuts' in this country! Â - Dan, there is no more AMBITIOUS JAPAN!!! it's really sad, they have some new stupid logo now. Also 5 Chicken Tikka has been replaces with 10 Yakitori chicken, and 10 yakitory beef sticks! Â - Coca cola tastes better here, there is still no diet soda. Â - Ok, going to bed now because we have a bunch of crazy days coming up. Â Thanks for checking in on us everyone!
