Most of the crappy overpriced hotels on Harbor are walking distance and fine for a couple of nights. We've stayed at almost all of them.

Awesome thanks! This is the most in depth trip report I've seen of the place. Crazy!

Yeah, I think we're going to need to see the peeing log flume video! I hope you sang "We are on a peeing log flume" the whole way around. I believe we saw that Flying Wing Glider Ride at some sketchy park on the 2008 China Trip. I also think some of our people were dumb enough to do it. The amount of half or nearly done construction in the country is scary. I wonder if that park will ever actually be finished or if it will just sit like so many ghost cities/towns/parks.

^Love your review and I totally agree! There are very few parks out there that I believe exceed they're already hyped up expectations. Europa is certainly one of them.

Got the new building going today. Definitely want to focus on getting the rail yard as I suppose it will be like the boardwalk creating track pieces in the future.

^Thanks for the insight. And of course the buses run on time and on a schedule!!! It's JAPAN!!!

Oh man, today is the first day that I haven't already been leveled up to get the update. Guess this is what I get for not setting my characters during the down time. Off to set everyone not doing springfield heights or monorail tasks to 24 hours!

Thanks for the update Mattias! Can't wait to get out there this summer!!!!

It also has a 42" height requirement and is more often than not a kids first looping roller coaster. I believe that helps lead to the lines and merchandise. I doubt SFMM will reduce the 48" height requirement on Revolution. Still think this is a great fix up though, can't believe they're really doing it!

^^^It was a lie, people have asked them a million times at every event and they always had some excuse. Someone would bring up Montezooma and they would come up with some other excuse. ^^ is right. It was all for ease and insurance money, I don't know why they couldn't just admit that because now it makes it funny to all of us who listened and smiled and nodded EVERY YEAR hearing the excuses. Shin guards are great, but there was no law and they have nothing to do with the law.

...and this gives a GCI coaster the awesome airtime it never had! Now they just need to do this with more GCI woodies! Gwazi...can you be next? Please let it be so! The first thing I said when I saw the layout is "Oh wow, look, they kept some of the signature GCI curves!" And then I looked at the rest and said: "Oh, thank god, they added air time and some awesome RMC stuff!"

But...But...Hasn't SFMM Management told us it was ILLEGAL for them to put lap bar only trains on Revolution MULTIPLE TIMES?!?!?!

I'm assuming that maybe this will be some sort of more 'value' option? Maybe not include the early entry or certain perks. It does seem a bit far away and that timeline to turn it into an 'Official' hotel seems awfully short.

I agree with the consensus here...it can't be any worse than how the park has been run lately.

Oh, so it's being built at Universal?

^Keep us updated! As for the helicopter, we've watched them hover over a moving cruise ship in a storm. It got to the point they made us all go inside as they were worried the helicopter could crash into the ship!

Mmmmm Din Tai Fung!!!!

From the event page...

That's the twist. It's simply a lift hill and one drop. Then it brakes, goes inside of a shed, and you watch the rest of the ride on a large screen. Well, that's just an educated guess based on Universal's recent track record. To be fair though, this is Universal Japan...they'll get some amazing flying roller coaster in an aviary with kickass animatronic dinosaurs and the US Parks will get "Soarin Over Jurassic World 7D"

^I didn't realize that Tomlik wasn't required and got him. If you're not forced to I would wait as it seems you need Karl more and he costs a ton of glow bracelets.

I don't really care about the layout or the construction, I want to see how they theme this thing once it's built!

^You were lucky. Many of us have been at the park when the ride ops don't check restraints, step in the path of oncoming trains, smoke on the exit stairs, turn their backs on guests who are waiting, overload water slides, refuse to clean vomit from rides, etc.

I've seen a lot of boomerangs, even weird ones, and never seen those extra supports.

How are people doing with this event? I like it, but I feel like there's no good way to get the glow bracelets. I feel like I'm always just waiting days and days to have enough to get what I need, and then I'm back to having to craft something else that needs thousands of the bracelets. Any tips?

More and more rumors coming out that The Abyss on Harmony will be a dry slide! I love that!!!! And it solves a lot of the problems that cruise people were complaining about.
