Well at least they can use not being able to build the park at the original location as an excuse when and if they build the park somewhere else and it fails!

Interesting concept. Maybe they should have a little display at your table so you could order electronically. Cut down on the server interrupting you. Maybe then they could flash things on the display like Last Call for Dessert! or Need more Popcorn & Soda? to boost sales.

When ordering the food, do you have a choice on diffferant languages or is it just German?

When I was in Japan in 06 we gambled playing Pachinko and won money. The machine did not pay off in money but we got trays and trays of little silver balls. The trays were turned in for prizes. The prizes were long plastic cases that were different colors. We assumed they were different values. There were other trinkets and cheap toys that could be selected but they looked like no one had selected them in 10 years. We then took the prizes outside the establishment, went down the street, around the corner and down an alley. There was a little pass through window with a guy on the other side. We gave him the prizes and he gave us back money. We had read before hand how this all worked so it wasn't a big surprise. It was just very interesting. I assume a slot machine would work in the same way but pay out in tickets.

That yakitori place was amazing. I think part of it was the fact that nothing was in English and no one spoke it either.

Here is a small report from outside the park. It wasn't open during the week. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58817&p=1027070&hilit=TRain#p1027070

Looks like a nice park. Someday I'm sure TPR will venture down that way.

Not enough food and not enough fatties in this report! I know you can do better!

Lagoon is one of those nice little parks that is kind of out in the middle of nowhere if your doing a coaster trip. Thanks for sharing.

Is this a Yakitori Tour or a Coaster Trip? Looks like you guys will have a lot of fun, eating and drinking that is!

They were!

^ I saw that patch behind your ear last week. I assumed correctly that it was a motion sickness patch and you didn't cut yourself shaving! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I have never had motion sickness. I can read a book on a twisty road and not get sick.

I liked this park a lot when we visited with TPR last year. The Splash Battle that doesn't battle! I'm sure I will get back here someday!

I miss Japan!

I like the lack of fences around the rides. Never in America!

I have always liked your photos. Nice job.

Yeah, that would be considered a Hidden Mickey. Off to Disney’s Hollywood Studio in Florida. Makes as much sense as the old Disney’s California Adventure in California. First stop is a picture of good tower. One has to wonder why they didn’t make all the other towers with the same ride system. This is the only picture I have of a hidden Mickey and it is on the way out. There are a few on the ride itself. When you see the video of the family checking into the hotel the little girl is holding a Mickey Doll. Right next door at the Rock ‘N’ Roller coaster you will see this with three Mickey’s Bling! Hat! Shirt! When you get off the ride and you see the video of Aerosmith , look to the right. Can’t remember where this one was taken but a some of the manhole covers sport a Mickey. After leaving Tower and Rock “n” Roller coaster there is this blue building with a skeptical Mickey I think this is more decoration because it can be found in several spots in the scroll work See Mickey? See the hidden Mickey’s? This is inside the lobby of the Brown Derby and I’m not so sure this is one. Jimmy Dodd hosted the Mickey Mouse Club so it would only be natural for him to have the ears. Back outside lets look at those clouds again. One … Two, this one is a little harder to see On the archway to the animation section are what I call more decoration then Hidden Mickey’s Donald Goofy Moving on to the other side of the park you pass by Toy Story Mania. This is the crowd for the fastPass line just after opening. Haven’t seen a line like this since Tower at DisneySea. Inside the High Octane Refreshment Bar the Radiator Springs photo op area is this one….. … on the far wall If you like Pizza the look in the stars for this one at the Pizza Planet Arcade If you like even better Italian food check out the 4 hidden Mickey’s in Mama Melrose’s waiting area. On the dog! A leaf! Up in the corner. I know, not a very good one. To the left of the arch into the restaurant. Even worse then the last one! Sense we are on a roll, they say the one on the plane is a Hidden Mickey too! Back in the Stage 1 Company Store. Much better The shorts are considered a Hidden Mickey too! The Mickey handprints and shadow on the billboard at Hollywood and Sunset Blvd. In the streets of America area Check out the newsstand on the left Nice headline! Wonder around to find the pawn shop to the right of the marquee Nice watch! Wonder what W D stands for? This one was not listed in my app This is in one of the windows. If you like golf, you can actually find this on the 6th green of the Magnolia golf course. If you don’t like golf, use Google maps to see it. Rodger Rabbit and Eddie Valiant! The last one for this update is my favorite for this park, It can be found stamped into the concrete at Hollywood and Sunset. It is a little hard to read but it says “Mortimer & Co. 1928 Contractors” Magic Kingdom up next.

One good thing is that since I'm staying at the Embassy Suites, I can take advantage of the free made to order breakfast Saturday! I was going to skip it in favor of over eating at noon.

Larry, let me know if you want to split a room if you don't want to have hot sex with the twins.

I'm realy starting to miss Japan.

^ The girls are to young to smoke!

Great report. I'm amazed that some of these places can draw enough people to stay in business

Loved the report Martin. One of these days I'll get to Taiwan!

I have family in Vegas, locals don't go to the strip unless they work there. Anything found on the strip can be found elsewhere cheaper. Just with out all the glamour and glits. Why would a developer on the strip want to target locals. Think about it, tourists stay a few days then new ones come in. Millions of new people every year on vacation and spending money. At best your going to get the locals to visit a unique attraction on the strip once and not return for years.
