Nice to see all these little Japanese parks. We hit 11 larger parks this year but it's good to see that there are waaaaaaay more cute parks.

I heard that the word dork is actually the name for a whales penis. Considering this is Japan. Does that surprise me?

And now...for more CREDIT WHORING ACROSS JAPAN!!!


We start our morning off with a "mini escalator credit!" This one can be found in Tokyo station.


I'm gonna put this in my mouth!


Another bullet train...another nap!


We have made it to our next credit whore park... Suntopia World!


This is the FIRST THING you see upon entering this park! Hmm...seems to be missing something...


MUCH BETTER!!!!


I gotta be honest, so far we've just seen statues of chicks! I'm loving this park!!!


This could be the best coaster of the trip! It's Jeff Johnson The Ride!


That sign says "Hey Jeff, how's your family doing? Been a long time...a REEEAL long time, but it's great to see you again!"


You actually get to ride in a real Jeff Johnson!


You all excited about riding Jeff Johnson The Ride?


Wow Jeff Johnson The Ride is showing it's age!


Bling Bling Jeff Johnson!


The other coaster was powered. I don't count it as a credit, but what the hell...I'll ride it!


THROUGH THE TREES!!!


I'm not sure what the hell this is but anything with penguins and darth vader HAS to be awesome!


Safari Jeep! This could be cool.


"This year, each camper will stalk and kill his own bear in our private wildlife preserve."


Some sort of walk through haunted house.


Anyone want to jump in the goldfish infested pool?


Seems like almost every Japanese small park has one of these "looper" rides.


Taiko No Tatsujin RULES!!!


There is something very "Laughlin" about this photo.


Park map!


The looping coaster had a Japanese cloaking device. It was gone the whole day!


Yay! More capsule machines!


The highlight of the park was that you can BUY these giant A$$ bugs and bring then home with you!


I'm not sure what this is, but it makes me nervous!


This awesome game was like a "claw game" but here there is scissors abs string and you had to try carefully to cut the string!


"Yeah, like that will ever happen!"


Back on the bullet train...next stop...Tokyo Disneyland!!!

LMAO, that entire update was epic, except you shouldn't make fun of Jeff, he has to enjoy these last "glory years" before he is put into the home. Taiko Tounge Red Taiko Laughing

Its a rhinocerous beetle, although I couldnt tell you what subspecies it is. They are supposed to be the strongest creatures alive, as they lift about 10x more (if I'm right) than their own body weight. In human comparisions, theoretically if I weighed 150lbs and had the strength of a rhinocerous beetle, I could easily lift 1,500 lbs.

Used to watch the Discovery Channel/Animal Planet a lot. Kinda sad, but it has its advantages.

Anyway, the trip looks great! Cant wait to see Tokyo Disneyland!

Looking forward to the Tokyo Disney photos as always.

And maybe it's just me, but the Jeff Johnson in the back is really creepy looking. Taiko LMAO!

Epic, EPIC TR Taiko LMAO! I know I shouldn't ask this, because it's well..you know, but..now that you've ridden Jeff, what was it like?

Oh yeah...I was thinking about that anime schoolgirl statuette a few parks back, and I think it's a character from Tokimeki Memorial. Not sure tho..

Good times Taiko Happy Looking forward to the Mouse TR.

Old and leathery. Kind of smelled a bit like smoke.
