The best way to end a day (or visit) to DisneySea? Watch the show During our stay i got to see the show twice, once from the side (while trying to find a somewhat decent opening to get some pictures etc ) and once from the hotel room. This update will be photo heavy and low on captions (what else is new?) enjoy DisneySea Fantasmic First up some images from the side.. that looks like mickey bring on the fire snake party time with stitch thumbs up, it was a good break ehhmmm the projections on these globes were pretty good fire = good second viewing but this time from the hotel room staring up look, there's mickey again loving the projection effect enough light? is that a turtle?? you can leave your hat on just to give you an idea of the view from the room Lion King segment (i see birds) Laser = good more pretty lights and some big lights as well hand?? owh.. fire time fire good, shows castle in background clap those hands more water time for the mirror part let's get .... .. ready to ..... .. rumble enough fire?? owh wait.. volcano??? yeah, the volcano is joining fire dragon through the mirror angry dragon Mickey fighting dragon bye bye more fire wait?? that looks familiar pretty colors that's all folks

Another update: part 3 of DisneySea Raging Spirits, the under water/kids area and some hotel pictures. Before riding Raging Spirits i was thinking about that one ride in Paris.. so i braced myself.. This one was way smoother and actually fun. The kids under water section was a nice area to go to and relax for a little while (and also hide for the heat) Hotel MiraCosta.. Amazing place and i'm glad i stayed there for a few nights. Worth the money for me to be able to recover and relax a little after the trip. Enjoy hmm, me angry me hungry just passing by that's a lot of metal wave for the camera there's a lot of things to see in this image and plenty of green yeah, it does have a loop just look at the amount of theming some random riders scream if you like it another point where you can get pretty close to the ride more theming brake run it even has fog through the fog what can you say?? water fun the name of this ride awesome looping sign ok, next stop this lovely area. This is impressive soo many details to look at Royal Proclamation first look in the area i loved the under water vibe it gave painting on the wall.. teacup ride waiting for some riders just another overview looking at the teacups again the theater with a pretty darn good show (no pictures allowed inside) jellyfish themed ride this picture is interesting (to me) while being there i never noticed the stuff on the back wall... it was when i looked back at this image that i spotted the plants in the blue balloon race bubbels themed shop ok, time for some Hotel Mira Costa images. Here's the globe you see when going to the DisneySea park first look at the hotel (you have to walk underneath the hotel to get in the park) getting closer (you can see the tunnel) amazing and all around theming on the other side there are rooms behind those windows so yeah, this was the view from my room for the 2 nights i stayed there after the trips this thing is massive and yes.. it was wet after the practice run of the summer show ok, let's check out the inside of the hotel.. first up lobby looking across looking up one of the elevator areas another look up pretty surfs up east wing? random hallway hotel entrance area (without the water) pretty hotel just a tease.. a night image one more lobby image and the night view from my room.. getting ready to watch the show

Thanks for the update. I love seeing things i've missed. Guess i'll have to go back there

Are you ready for more DisneySea pictures??? In this update i have some Sindbad, Tower and as a bonus volcano pictures. Sindbad was just awesome. Like a good version of small world. Still a song that gets stuck in your head but a way better ride. Tower.. owh my.. loved the story, loved the theming.. should have spent more time in the area for pictures of all the details there.. pre show was good as well.. just wished the drops would be a bit more forceful.. Volcano.. it's got fire and fire = good But don't worry.. there will be more updates still to come in future updates are the "kids" area, raging spirit, hotel, random park pictures, night pictures and the big show.. ok, first up Sindbad entrance area who turned of the lights? i guess this is the short version of the story angry monkeys?? getting ready to be boarded just cruising bird and egg go catch them how's it going?? (i failed with the big bird.. better luck next time) the key to.. ehm.. music maestro i see a tail town meeting, playing music playing the big drum banana monkey drum and bass moving on ladies 3 wise guys?? that's a different story (i think) sing along somewhere along the ride there are some elephants surfs up bye bye next up.. Tower (as seen from a distance) that is pretty big.. i think getting closer it just does not stop (all the little details) another look from the plaza in front tower of terror yeah and this time with the green stuff part of the queue area inside pre show it's green and ehmmm poof... gone more theming from above i believe this was outside the exit/shop back inside, more queue theming everywhere you want to look it's ok to smile ehm... ok, volcano time.. i think i see a box they might use to put "annoying/misbehaving" folks in.. i think it's getting ready.. here we go bring it on that's a pretty big/tall one.. fire = good bigger fire is even better get out while you can (Journey)

Ok, i guess it's time for the final part of my Japan trip and it's updates. Tokyo Disney. I'm going to try something new (for me).. do my updates based on attractions/area's/shows in the park. I managed to do 3 visits to the park while being in Japan. A few hours at the start, 3 days in the middle and 2 days at the end (before flying home) I guess you can imagine the amount of pictures i have from these visits.. Anyway let's get this started. First up my favorite park at this time: DisneySea Here's a few pictures that will be all about Journey, 20.000 leagues and the Mysterious Island area where these are located. I do hope you enjoy them and comment on these. let's start with Journey get here quick or you might be looking at long lines let's have a look at the queue area paintings along the wall machine plan pleny of things to look at getting ready for the elevators our gateway to... and there's plenty of them quick peak inside hmm, light effects ok, here's something different.. fog i guess this is a better image hmm, this looks interesting... queue area, in the top left you can see the fog gate i posted earlier getting closer to boarding the ride the awesome vehicles ok, total fail and yet this gives you an idea of all the colors you get to see (check robb's onride for more details) ehm.. what's that?? Lava monster this has got to be one of the most amazing animatronics i've seen to date bye bye and then you get blasted away at high speed.. through the fog.. if you are quick you can look at the park while enjoying some airtime even the exit staircase area is themed true ok, here's a look at the Mysterious Island area drilling machine in the hill from across the water, and yes.. the volcano does work drilling machine from a lower point playing with shutter time.. looking back from the waterfall back inside to give you a Journey vehicle enjoying the airtime getting close to blowing i'm pretty sure i'll spot new details once i get back another look at the drilling machine a bit of sunshine can make a huge difference.. and yes. there is a awesome restaurant under those arches you can walk all the way around if you want to Journey vehicle on the bridge and then.. from the other side.. you can hardly see it anymore back inside, for just one more dril machine image and one more Journey vehicle in the same area you can also find this ride more awesome queue area theming big balls lovely suits there's a map, would it help? the theming just does not stop another map owh wait.. we're diving?? if you are lucky this could be the queue for you (empty) ride vehicle here's the same vehicle hanging around outside and then it's warp speed time what's that?? aaarrgghhh

Day 6: Nasu Highland Final day of the Tokyo trip. It was a nice busdrive to get to the park and i can only imagine how the place will look in the winter (oh wait.. there's a video of that.. nevermind) Anyway, fun place to go to, bunch of nice coasters and an SLC.. Pictures are in no particular order as i walked a gazillion laps through this park. entrance area ok, time to take a little walk to.. coasters this does look pretty caroussel ride ok, that's intresting.. (as in i've never seen this before) more credits can be found in this area part of the park those are some long ears just another vekoma... hello kitty i guess you can find food in this area powered coaster fun panic drive.. fun ride themed fountain it's green ok, more coaster pictures.. camel coaster waiting for a train ouch big boom starting it's drop back row fun speaks for itself love the hair tire brakes.. is it fear? is it joy? or just terror?? just another park map batflyer from a distance.. there are not that many left in the world red coaster lifthill enough coasters in a small area or?? ugh looking back batflyer and slc big wheel fun ride but low capacity from the ferris wheel bat flyer and part of the flume (i think) panic drive zoomed in love the kid's expression going down in the loop rainbow colored train on track back in tokyo we made a quick stop here.. and then it was time for some more Disney (for me)

Day 5: Cosmoworld and Sea Paradise Another 2 park visit. Cosmoworld was awesome. rom the welcoming sign to the park itself and it's location. All the random stuff that could be done there made it a great visit. Sea Paradise was a short visit for me, got the credit.. rode Blue Fall (thanks Robb) and left (had to do some other things ) Just one more stop after this (Nasu Highland) and then it's time to try and recap 2 Disney visits.. 3 days during the trip and some bonus time after the trip.. but more on that later. First it's time to enjoy Cosmoworld and Sea Paradise. Don't forget to post comments another train station credit owh, landmark building i guess that's where we are going to another look at this building looks like the park is ready for us. I can see a coaster testing what the heck is that? getting closer this is so freaking awesome. Loved the welcome note making good use of available space imagine this with trains etc.. signature shot? ferris wheel, and yes it was big. zoom in piece of track here they go derek is thinking about his last bear, Rene looks worried and the rest... pink track getting closer yeah, water different angle helix fun time to check out the mouse. Why so worried? time to get accros the water yeah, another credit happy riders in the distance tight fit for some time to chill next time i'll ride this.. next time.. small splash not sure what's happening here having fun?? should be more water.. bigger wave at the front best part of the ride (i've been told) structure look, there's another train rolling by the night look part of the park on the other side of te water (seen from the ferris wheel) credit not sure what it was doing here looking down the drop (no train... bummer) on the roof of a nearby building different drop angle yeah, with train ok, this does look funky, time to get to the next park credit time 2 tall things near the water rolling by starting the drop half way point hitting the brakes. That's all folks

sorry to hear, good luck with the stress at this time. at least it's one less person to feel frustrated about

The plan for Day 4 was to hit 2 parks... Toshimaen and Seibuen Here's the result I did not take many pictures here but did have a great time at both parks. Something totally different compared to the bigger parks. And yes.. i somehow managed to also get on the powered coaster at Seibuen. Rain or Shine.. coasters and friends present a great time First stop.. Toshimaen Park map might be handy just taking a nice relaxing walk. No rush wait.. german?? ehm.. interesting structure there it goes.. hill and green, while being blue.. you still get it? Ninja's on a train full train yup, they seem to be happy but there is more another credit way too happy for a kiddie who needs netting?? bummer, closed today.. or should i be happy? i still see you blue track pretty hill Mystery zone, still not sure what happened hey?? can we please go there??? we made it to the second stop another park map (just in case) Loop Screw coaster.. toilets nearby.. always handy control boot thingy waiting for the water effects reflection look, there's a train.. somewhere (missing the ouch ouch sound) going up have fun guys.. have fun.. is it pain?? is it joy?? you decide ok, final random image from this park..

Day 3 (Part 2) : Hanayashiki After an awesome time at Tobu Zoo we made the journey to a small park called Hanayashiki. Never heard of this place (as so many places in Japan (woops)) but had an awesome time here. Bit of rain helped with the temperature for a while and as you might have seen in Robb's update it was a fine example of the Energy of a TPR trip at this park. Marathoning the coaster there was just awesome. Anyway, i tried to capture the fun and energy so here's a bunch of pictures enjoy and feel free to comment. First look inside the park that looks pretty darn big hmm pretty how's it going?? so many things to look at it fits wassup? for the nerds if i remember correctly there was some sort of tunnel of love in there? Roller Coaster (aka credit time) yeah, it was raining pretty good by now hmm, have to remember this spot for later looked interesting guess what?? looks like the sun is back yeah let's ride row row row not sure what's happening here sunshine that's a big big tower aaahhh this look remind me of 08 europe trip (colossus) go look it up K'O ?? plenty of space yeah they are back don't stop guys, keep on rowing going down tried to hide to camera.. guess i failed.. duck basically an overview of the park chilling while going up.. (lap 15?) drop fun take the tunnel bug still plenty of space hmm, that tower has to be tall with those clouds just to give you an idea of how big it is and they are still going surprise hit and awesome place to visit. Thank you TPR energy group photo time for a walk don't have a clue what this was.. byt it looked interesting for some reason this screamed (a bit) Japan to me.. yeah don't go.. there's more

We usually like to start a "park discussion" thread when there is actually something to discuss or if someone volunteers to bring "regular updates" from the park to the site. Starting a thread for the sake of starting it isn't something we want to make a habit of. When Michigan's Adventure makes an announcement or something like that perhaps we can open up a thread for the park. Locked for now.

I think it was the airtime Looking forward to his reaction Thanks

Day 3 (Part 1): Tobu Zoo Tobu Zoo (and Kawasemi) were some of the few names that rang a bell before heading to Japan. So i was really looking forward to this day (especially after riding (and loving) a bunch of the other Mega-lite's in the world) This was an awesome visit to an awesome park. My only "regret"... i spent too much time taking pictures of Kawasemi instead of riding it. Guess i'll have to go back to marathon it. It was running pretty darn good early in the morning and you could see it getting quicker an quicker during the day. Quicker = more airtime and this one really does deliver. The following is a bunch of pictures from that day including a lot of Kawasemi pictures. Awesomeness deserves a lot of pictures. Enjoy Guess we're heading that way hmm, i see something in the distance please cover up first look inside the park that woodie looks like fun.. hmm, it's yellow another wheel... park mascot (i think) ok, let's get this day started.. pretty yummie One of the first trains ok, time to check out some other angles pretty sky the park is open but it's still almot like ERT transition looks like they are almost at the top going down how's it going back row? checking the underside did somebody say airtime?? (look at the red strap things on the right side of the train) change of direction (check the wheel) trying something different can i have one in my garden?? please?? aaaiirrtime look, there are some more riders going down yeah.. should have done some photoshop work to get two trains on track.. keep on riding guys twisty bits turn turn turn hmmm how's it going?? can you see the airtime?? drum roll.... hmmm yeah, now with train almost down full train fun do i need to add anything to this? riders on their way to heaven AIR spot the none TPR members back rows seem to enjoy it another twisty moment (with nice sky) Hair and airtime next train how's it going guys? up high owh crap love the hair (and yes.. airtime does funny things) just because it looks so pretty happy riders ok, time to move on across the water that train does not look that big (or tiny) time to check out more of this park.. Regina.. woodie Regina not the best picture framing by myself.. ehm... pretty lights bright colors these are always fun ok, time for some Larry pictures.. every update shoulld have some i guess.. feeling sleepy.. yeah.. he's gone bye bye Larry hmm, that does look prett big..
