Central Park was the first park we visited that had, I remember, Our Very First Rastafarian Gift Shop! Eh, mon? Batman clone was fun, green tea (not pea, I learned my lesson, k?) soft serve was nice, that rifle shoot-up RUN THRU was insane, and what were they burning there, outside of the park? I have a pic of it, I will post later. Also, glad to see it wasn't me that was f-ing up posting pix here last night. I tried to get started on my Top Ten List but blah blah blah, no pix could be posted. Thanks for making me feel much better about that (I thought) posting mistake (ha) on my part. (whew) In the meantime, I will start to post my The List in a separate thread, then you can gather it together with the other eventual TRs everybody else will be posting, under one main page, in time. Thanks again Robb for the awesome updates. And now, GO TO BED! (P.S. I also want to give a shout-out to all closet Scary Teddy lovers around the world! I am a closet ST fanboy and Tokyo Disney Resort gave me ample stuff'n reason to add to the collection/insanity that is loving the little lightbulb-chomping fella, lol. See proof below...) And for proof further... My entire collection of NBC-ST pins on a single lanyard! Mmmmmm, Teddy. Here we are! All ready to get going on that personal Ten Best List of the Tour. Note that Teddy has his own ST here? Only the best for the best!

I hate them already, going to S.Korea and I saw them off att their (^%#%^&*%&* departing lounge, grrrrrrrrrrrrr. And then I had to trundle off waaaaaay down to Me Owne Rotten Cesspool of a Damnation Station arrrrrrrrrhhhhh. (Hey ~ cfc ~) Only till next weekend, and then it's over for them all BWAAAH HAH HAH !!! Miss you guys already, myself.

Thanks, that did go through my head at first, but I figured it was better to ask, etc. I think Toshimaen is listed there and I've seen it, but it only lists one coaster credit ( the shuttle loop that was, interestingly enough, the coaster that was down for the day ) and there are four at this same-named park.

hey all! Got back to Canada safe and sound, with several hours to re-live again! Have to love that flying back in time thing, heh heh. But - not finding a couple of parks and coasters for my tally list at CoasterCount.com and would really appreciate any help here finding them. Here they are: 1) Hanayashiki Park - first add-on park (and an old one too, opened in 1853!)several of us did before the "official tour" began. 1 credit. 2) Aqua Stadium w/Galaxy Express 999 coaster - at our first tour hotel, The Prince. 1 credit. 3) Wonder Rakutenchi park - a Jet coatser credit, those duck races, and a funicular railway to get us up to the park on the side of a mountain. 4) Toshimaen Park - last add-on park several of us did, before getting the airport shuttle to head home or to continue on to S.Korea. 3 (out of 4) credits. Thanks in advance for any help in this search - and my personal Top Ten List of the TPR Japan Tour is almost ready to post later tonight!

Well, enough has certainly been said about Fuji-Q and "those coasters," except to say Pfffffffft! But for now, THANK YOU Elissa, Robb and Dan for making this the trip of a lifetime for me. I couldn't imagine how I could ever have gotten so much done, travelled to and through, and ridden, by planning it on my own. It boggles my mind (and wallet) how much we all got (and more!) for the two weeks we had touring together. Red Dawn Awesome, indeed. And once again - TOKYO DISNEY SEA ROCKS!!! (*my Top Ten List of the TPR Japan Tour coming up in a day or so*)

The TPR Japan Tour I've been on now, is ending after this weekend... Boo - wah - sniff sniff - nuts.

Heide Park looks great, with it's coasters and that great looking raft ride. It is one of the Germany parks I am looking forward to on the Europe TPR tour next summer a) if it's on the tour AND b) if I get to do the tour, lol. Thanks for sharing your recent visit there.

Eejanikia was really great for me too, but the wait time for it absolutely stunk. 3+ hours we spent waiting to go on it for myself and several others in line, and they kept adding, then removing a train of cars during our wait time in the station. NOT the best way to appreciate a coaster, let alone the park ops. But we held on and got the awesome ride that it was, lol. And we ended up calling it "Euthanasia" har har. And in our time on line, I thankfully had TPR snacks to devide up between me and my 3 ride amigos there. Not much, but better than nothing, at the time. And - my first Dipping Dots - ever! Not bad they were, for my first. More, as we all move along here, getting closer to the end of it all, or the S.Korea add-on, depending.... ***To Pete C. re: Hollywood Dream coaster at Universal - nice coaster, a couple of good air pops along the way and it was fun having the choice of music to listen to in your seat's speakers!

Sorry to hear about no baby, for now. But good to hear no Iraq for now, too!

I just saw someboday had registered here as "TPR". And then hasn't posted a single post. Now that's random!

I got one that was blank. 'Nuff said. Or not, I suppose.

And now for something completely different... Tokyo Disney Sea. Best - Disney park - Ever. (IMhO - even with Raging Spirits closed for maintenance, darnit.) And I haven't even been to Hong Kong Disney yet, lol! (Edit: ^ That was My First Rollback, too. Brings a tear, heh heh.)

ZORB Rocked!!! Um... Actually, it rolled, lol. A lot. But the travel pathway was way too short. Could have used a few hundred extra meters (yes this country IS metric) of rolling forward-ness. Still, it was a very cool experience to do on the tour. That, and squid balls.

A few here and theres from me, on the tour... It's been hot and humid, most of the time, but we're all coping with it okay. We certainly got to appreciate bottled waters and assorted other beverages, ice cream and soft-serve, and any place that had air conditioning, even in shops and places we weren't planning to buy anything in, lol. Splash Bandit at Yomuiriland was AWESOME! And that set me up for several future great flume rides, and big-drop chutes. Yes! Dark rides in alot of the smaller parks have been cheesy, indescribable, annoyingly cute, or just plain WTF. Take your pick or make up a combo, it all works, lol. ~ ~ ~ Robb, Elissa and Dan have been busting their collective butts to make sure we`ve been getting the best out of the tour, no matter what happens (i.e The Typhoon) that may change or alter our touring plans/schedule. Thanks guys - truly amazing and incredibly wonderful of you to take this on. Not to mention the awesome enormity of herding us all　around and through the countryside and citysides of Japan. And - BULLET TRAINS ROCK!

You Rule Big Mike! Congratulations on 500+.

There a picture to back this up? Actually - GO BIG MIKE!!!

That's just for one person. Edit: That means you'd have to come with $500 US for two people.

Pay all the bills off. Invest a lot of it. Travel with a lot of it. And share it with friends and my family. EDIT: And something I have always dreamed to do - invest in a Broadway-bound musical, lol.

Positive from the Broadway Musical CD "Legally Blonde: The Musical"

It just goes to show you. Everybody loves DisneyLand!

And you have a Sept.28th cut-off date, still ahead??? My, my. Word gets around, huh?

Last Friday night. Damned houseparty across the street got really loud, louder than any party I could remember. And broken bottles, and yelling/swearing LOUDly out on the sidewalks. Nobody called the police, but several of us were tempted to. And now - When Was The Last Time you stepped in something you didn't see in time?

Do McDonald's gift certificates work for you?

^ I meant good for you, you ate everything up.

There ya go! Great TR you are posting here.
