robbalvey Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 So this one is really odd.... Other than being handed a map that is somewhat in English....we're not actually sure if the place is open! The website said it was....the woman that took our money said it was, but there was NO ONE at the park! AT ALL!!!! Seriously, for the first two hours, other than the three of us we only saw the woman at the front gate, 1 ride op at the coaster, and 1 ride op at the walk through dark ride! Anyway, there's lots of photos of the coaster and the really bizarre obstacle course here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/uminonakamichi/uminonakamichi1.htm And then you can check out a full POV of "Jet Coaster" here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32101 And finally, if you haven't seen our TPR video from Uminonakamichi, check it out here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/videos/uminonakamichi.htm It has a lot of GREAT footage from the obstacle course of us nearly killing ourselves! Enjoy! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airtime&Gravity Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Great video Robb, even though it is the strangest one on the site. It is nice that the gallerys are being updated, but there are still some park visits that haven't been updated, but hopefully they'll come. I know this park was really empty, but looking through the updates, it seems as though almost all of the smaller-as in all of those that aren't Fuji-Q, Nagashima, and Disney-are empty. How do the parks manage to stay open and manage to have large coasters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been going through quite a few and getting them all up to date. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bl0nder Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 What is the name of that walk through dark ride thing ? With all the spirals in the letters and that woman with the twisted neck it looks like it has been themed to the movie Uzumaki, a japanese horror movie where everyone gets obsessed with spirals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 ^ I have no idea. It was all in Japanese. And I could barely pronounce "Uminonakamichi" let alone what the name of the dark ride was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgwfreak Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 What is that body of water way out there? Sea of Japan? I don't know why I'm curious, it's just kinda weird to see all that water out there. Love the empty park PTR though. Reminds me of Pedroland, except you got to ride working rides!!!

garbear27 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 It must have been very weird to be in a park without anyone around. Kinda takes the fun out of the people watching in the park which is usually a fringe benefit of being at one! Great Video as always! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrider06 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 looked like you guys had a pretty good time, even though the park was pretty much abandonned. the obstacle course looked pretty intense lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 Time to unstick this. If you haven't seen the full Uminonakamichi update yet, check it out here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/uminonakamichi/uminonakamichi1.htm And don't forget we also posted a full POV of "Jet Coaster" here: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
