It *looks* like an Arrow Corkscrew...but it's not!

The 1950's American part of the park was actually kind of "cute."

Log Flume....yup.

"Hello girls!"

Yay! A birds eye view of the park!

I mean, who doesn't? Right?

Before saying our final goodbyes, we had one more stop to make in Tokyo....

That's right! Galaxy Express 999!

You guys ready to cap off the Japan trip with one of the most bizarre ride experiences ever?

First off, the back story...

The ride and pre-shows are all based on the anime movie/show of the same name...

There's the bad guys...

...and the good guys....

...and the train!

SPOILER ALERT! Why is this such a bizarre ride? Because you sit in fairly small seats, with not much of a headrest, you get launched out of the station, then a turn to the right, and into a vertical loop....all in the dark! It's very, very strange! But very cool!

Yoshinori from Intamin was here to hang out with us, and I think he appreciated us ending our trip on one of his rides!

Alright, TPR...this is it! The final ride of the trip! BLAST OFF!!!

Thank you to Nasu Highland for an awesome, awesome final park of the trip!!! Thank you to Intamin for having such an awesome ride to end our trip on! And thank you to all of our readers who have stuck with this report the entire time! You guys rock!!!
