At first I couldn't tell if KT was miserable with the Furries or elated. She obviously loved them and she's quite Little Miss Adorable.

I did not have any hamburgers on the whole trip. My mouth is open because the squirrel mashed my teeth together on the first inversion. UGH. However, I did have some White Castle cheeseburgers when I got home. Great food in China, but I will stay away from Chinese for a while.

Never doubted that you did, but certainly doubted that we did!

Shortly after posting this, we had to scramble to change all of our hotels to avoid the storm. Not the most fun way to start off a honeymoon at the airport.

After seeing you guys at disneysea on thursday, we did not try to get to Fuji-Q until mid-afternoon on Tuesday.

We had a 2.5 hour window on a weekday post-summer and with the pay-per-ride structure, we thought we would easily have a chance to get in at least two of the big three. Wrong.

I think this picture speaks for itself.

I'm just sorting through some of my pictures and thought i might share a different angle of this image taken of Robb:


Its a pretty strange image if you dont know why Robb is making such an angry face. Good for a giggle i guess?

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! Taiko Really Happy

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.)

Was that a Boy and His Blob reference?

Aquatrax looks very cool. Thanks for the video and photos guys.
