TDS

I don't know what exactly your plans are, but I'd definitely check out Halloween Horror Nights while I was in town you could very likely meet up with someone from TPR or one of the HHN sites, I know if I was going to be in town I'd be happy to meet up with you. As far as dinner I would recommend going to the Tilted Kilt close to Universal on International, you'll probably get some extra attention if your alone and it'll make for a great time. I know on the first weekend of HHN many folks from Horror Night Nightmares do a meetup, usually at Finnegan's at Citywalk. Also if you plan on making it down towards Busch Gardens and can stop by my guy Danny's All American Diner you will not regret it, fantastic people! That's off the top of my head, but feel free to message me if there's anything I can do to help! TDS

I didn't want to create my own thread when there was a fairly recent one already, I hope no one minds if I post here, I had a few questions of my own. I'm making the longtime dream trip to TDS and TD at the end of November this year. I know some of my questions are subjective, but many of you know Tokyo much better than I (first timer) so I'm hoping you can help. I will be arriving in Tokyo on a Saturday and the original plan was to catch the Limo Bus to Disney, drop off bags and head straight for Tobu to ride Kawasemi. I know that trip via rail is approximately 2 hrs, I'm arriving at 8 am at NRT and hoping to get to Tobu by 11. I was planning on riding Kawasemi and Regina until near close and then heading to Tokyo Dome to ride Thunder Dolphin that night. I'd then spend Sun-Thur at TDS and TD. I know TDS and TD are really special parks and also really busy, so I want to make sure I have plenty of time there as this is the main reason for the trip. That being said, there is an alternate plan I am also considering and I'm curious of those who've been there before what they would choose. The second plan would involve going to Yomiuriland on Saturday just after arrival and then heading towards either Hanayashiki or Tokyo Dome that night. I would then travel to Tobu Sunday, trying to be there at opening and then going to Tokyo Dome afterwards Sunday night. Are any of these parks worth losing a day at TDS/TD in your opinion? I would tend to lean towards plan A, but I'm thinking with it being a Sunday I just may be in line all day at TD and TDS and so maybe it would be worth it, but is it likely these parks will have extremely long lines as well? Any recommendations or even other parks in the area? Anything you can contribute would be of great help. Just a couple last things, I know from reading every Japan TR available, their is a sign at the Tobu Zoo station, is it fairly easy to find your way to the park on the roughly mile long walk once out of the station, is there signage? Also has anyone rode Thunder Dolphin since it's reopening? I know the TR's prior to it going down for over a year was that it was just OKAY, so I'm curious if it has improved at all since reopening? The last thing before I bid you wonderful folks adieu is if anyone can recommend any dark rides/ haunted walkthroughs that would be fantastic, I absolutely love them and am giving up Halloween this year to make this happen and would love to mix a little Halloween with my Christmas. Thanks in advance for your replies, I appreciate you all so much and I know with your help this trip will be epic!
