kidcoaster 2

Sounds like the perfect addition for Hershey! Can't go wrong with a new credit to get and I'm sure the families will love it!

Two more drop out. news.yahoo.com/yearwood-mcbride-cancel-seaworld-concerts-195555738.html At least they mention that they already have replacement bands. Assuming that they will have already known of the problems the activists are causing they won't back out. I have a feeling soon that the whale nuts will loss their 15 minutes in the spot light.

^^ What were the other ones?

The next day we got up early grabbed breakfast and headed out to the train for our next stop Hirakata Park! This is also the last park of the "Add-on". Originally this park wasn't on the itinerary as this was the day we were supposed to be at Nagashima Spa Land. However Nagashima several months before the trip Nagashima put that it was shutting down for a few days to perform maintenance. Quickly our guides (Robb and Elissa) came up with a solution to move Nagashima to the main trip and do this park instead which I'm glad happened because this turned into a great day! Anyway onto the report... We got to the park and were met by the park hosts who were even nice enough to hit the crossing signal as we approached. We were than escorts to the parks 'major" coaster so Robb could film. Elf This giant looking woodie rests in the center of the park. From far away it looks impressive but the ride is nothing more than a family ride. It has a traditional figure-8 layout and nothing really stood out with the ride. However it was still a fun ride and I think the group enjoyed it. After we continued around picking up our credits. Red Falcon Is the parks other "major" coaster. It is a Japanese jet coaster. It spread out over a nice chunk of the park but isn't really exciting either. Log Flume This Log Flume had a screaming game so we had to try it out! Never did find out where you had to scream though. Crazy Mouse A spinning mouse by Reverchon. Nothing special. Peekaboo Town Nothing wrong with a bunch of grown adults riding a coaster called Peekaboo Town? Right? Dark Ride They had a traditional Japanese dark ride where you wore headphones through the ride. It was kind of creepy. Animal Safari You ride in jeeps and shoot at the friendly animals of the wild. Fun right? Fantastic Coaster Rowdy Was the last coaster of the park. It had a really weird layout but was a pretty fun ride. Next we did some of the walk troughs all of which gave prizes! There was a mirror maze game, and a shooting 3d ride. On the 3d ride if you reached a certain amount of points you won a prize. We all tried several times to get it while some came close. We grabbed lunch at the McDonald's in the park and walked around also did the Giant Wheel before meeting up at the front of the park to head out. At this point we were free to do what ever we wanted. Some went back to Osaka and some went to a baseball game. Some went back to Nagoya but we went to Kyoto. Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine Some of us wanted to dive as far as we could into Japanese culture so we made our way to the Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine which was a one train stop from our station and it was still on our JR system! (The rail pass we were using for our tour). We checked out the tourist stuff and the Orange gates at the bottom before starting our way up the mountain. Originally I don't think anyone planned to go the entire way but it was one of those things that we made it to one point and decided to go a bit further and before we knew it we were at the top! Unfortunately there wasn't much of a view but we light our own candles before heading back down. Some parts of the train were really beautiful and it was a nice visit with some great exercise but it was time to head back. We caught the bullet train and got back to Nagoya where I grabbed some McDonalds from the train station and we hung out in the hotel lobby for a bit before heading to bed. Yokohama Cosmoworld and Sea Paradise up next! Oh Poo... it's another report! I'm very curious what this is? Welcome to Hirakata Park! Looks nice! First stop! It was a cute little/big woodie. Next up Red Falcon! (The old sign looked much better!) A look at one of the midways. The Log Flume Next credit! All we need is some ice and beer for those coolers! Looking down on Falcon's platform. Where are we going?? Peekaboo Town... They are so thrilled! Next up the dark ride! You wear your headset as you hear some random things through the ride. Yes... we did this. You can ride a subway train! Random band on a building. First time seeing this... so weird. Last credit of the park! Hey guys Lift hill... Hi Cary They also have a train. This guy really loves this dolphin And so does Dan! Also this... Why didn't Hirakata just hire him for the photo shoot? Another random ride. Safari shoot-em-up. You can ride another train! Palm Walk was this nice section in the middle of the park. Eat Circus? The 3D shooter.. we tried several times to win the prize. This was another game but it was a walk through where you get wands and collect some magic lights? At the end you put your wand in here and enter the final battle where you win your prize. This was my guy! Sounds like a good place for lunch! Next we did this upcharge walkthrough Dragon in the center of the mountain! The Giant Wheel was next! Elf Red Falcon! More Elf! Going down Another overview. Fantastic Coaster Rowdy! Hi Julie! Top of Red Falcons lift! Going down Red Falcon is still a cool ride to look at. More Elf Peekaboo Town overview! Hi Steve! Hey guys! "Wooden Roller Coaster Episode of Little Fairies" Mhm.... Slow day today. In the middle of Elf was this nice and very green pathway. Random tree house They also had some animals A quick visit to Hug Hug Town (petting zoo) and we are out of here! Welcome to Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine! A map of the shrine There were vending machines at random spots on the trail. But the further you go up the more expensive it got. You can even but some orange gates! One of the first buildings you come across. Pretty Nope not one orange gate. Heading up! Need an orange gate? This trip report will have a severe lack of orange gates... This is the only view we would get. Mid way point. Another gate. This was the pose to make so here is my impression of it... next up Yokohama Cosmoworld and Sea Paradise! Near the bottom. Back at the bottom. We reached the top and all of us lit a candle. Here is mine. Still not enough gates.

^ Thanks!

^ Really looking forward to seeing how they bring in Batman into the sequel, also rumors are coming out that Wonder Woman might even be in it.

I enjoyed my time working there, the job was rough at times but the people I met made it worth it. Not something to make a career of but fun to do once.

Fangs

Wall-E is defiantly my favorite followed by Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, and Toy Story.

^ That looks awesome! I already love Xcellerator but that ride looks like it would be insane.

Sounds like an ironic combination but sounds like both companies have a great future ahead! Can't wait to see what RMC comes up with next for their new market.

At least some of the real REO fans on their Facebook page are firing back at the whale nuts.

United State of Pop (Living the fantasy) - DJ Earworm

Wow great update! I really like how it changes the look of the park.

^^ That photo looks amazing! Really looking forward to the next TPR trip south of the border!

Agreed! I am having a hard time enjoying Pixar movies like I used to.

Euro-Mir, Europa Park

^ Why the hate?

Great response by SDC on the incident. Glad to hear it won't effect anything.

Sounds amazing! Next TPR Mexico Trip I will have to try and do this!

One of my favorite parks! Hopefully my next visit is as quiet as yours was. Thanks for the pics!

Great report! How were the crowds for one ocean?

Those are always so funny to see! I wonder how well they would go over here?

Really looking forward to my next visit (After everything opens and the Harry Potter fanfare has died down)!.

Blue Streak should get the RMC treatment I'm sure Mean Streak will get some love (Or some nice wrecking balls) one day but I doubt it will be any time soon.
