For an area with so much focus on total immersion, it seems odd to have rides which are just 'rides' as opposed to 'experiences' (obviously the fact DD was there already is a major factor here..)
Don't worry. Someday Dueling Dragons will look just like it does in Japan...
I may have missed it but was Roaring Rapids (or whatever the Shanghai rapids ride is called) closed or just not open during the winter months? That ride looks awesome but the videos I watched it seemed pretty mediocre, then again what rapids ride isn't.
The Haunted House is sort of uniquely Japanese! It's so odd to me that people get legit freaked out in this! I wish I understood the culture more, but it sure was "interesting..." Here's a video:
Here's a few pics from Hanno's camera...
Having some fun on Acrobat!
Now THAT is a "coaster face!"
And that would be "coaster hair!" lol
Having a jolly time on the Bobkart!
Someone is enjoying this!
"Is that creepy Dutch guy taking a picture of me?"
"Oh you best not be riding my A$$!"
How many Americans can we get in one Bobkart?
Will we see one of these at Cowabunga Bay?
Why so serious???
"Hi, my name is Tom, but you can call me Serial Killer!"
Steel Dragon FTW!
OMG! OMG! OMG!!! TWO COASTERS!!! Twice in one trip report!!!
I don't understand why America doesn't have those awesome Asian toilets. When I went to South Korea for business, I literally sat on the toilet for like 20 minutes at the hotel trying out (most of) the features!
I also should have pointed out that we were at Nagashima Spaland just a couple of days after Christmas, EVERY SINGLE coaster was open, it was like 45 degrees outside, and the entire park was in operation. Explain to me again why we can't have more parks open in America during the winter?
Nagashima Spaland looks "generic" on the surface, but it's a cool place. I really like their haunted house (so wonderfully weird), and Acrobat looks like fun, too.
