SharkTums

KT let me borrow one of her sharks to go check out Mako construction today! The colors do look nice in person!

^^Effing Japan!!! AMAZING!!!

^I feel like we should hang out more. That would pretty much be the exact post I would write about this!

^Too funny! And unwrapping that track seems awesome at first but would get really tiring with all that track to unwrap!!!

It's not just you.

It's interesting to see so many of us who get ill from all of the 3D screens. I simply don't even try to ride Transformers anymore and the Forbidden Journey ride at IOA makes me super nauseous with the changing from screens to actual sets back to blurry screens again. I have to think that we are representative group here and if so many of us 'thrill seeking' types get sick from the screens others must too.

Great report so far! Some random comments... Pretty sure this Europark is the next park on the Disney Lawyer's radar! Castle, Main Street, Font, Train, etc. Although I wonder about the rabbit as well...was it in front of a restaurant? I had the same question as Chuck...did Chinese Walmart sell all American products? Poor Cheryl, sometimes lost/delayed luggage is really a mystery. I'll never forget the time we arrived in PHL with a 1.5 year old KT only to be told "Sorry, your gate checked stroller didn't make it on the plane." How the hell do you forget a gate checked item when it's sitting in the jetway!!!! Love your comment about the love/hate relationship with Delta...it's like a drug you can't quit. You should have brought those Chinese smoke masks with you outside to protect you from the air!

^Good call, looks pretty similar. I'm sure the theming will be much better though.

If Universal has all this money and is trying to really give Disney a run for their money I'd love to see them build some sort of real Fast and the Furious ride with a test track sort of ride system. No more 4D!!!! Isn't Fast and the Furious one of the most successful franchises of all time? Give them something good!

^^And as for Events, we are doing West Coast Bash coming up.

I love Mitsui Greenland. It's really probably my favorite 'non-chain' park in Japan! We just have so much fun every time we go and end up spending a whole day and finding new things.

^&^^ No. It's rough and any airtime is extremely minimal and not enjoyable. Japanese Woodies seem to kind of suck for the most part. Very sad. Hope to someday see a 'new' Intamin or RMC in the country.

So what is everyone doing with their Second Monorail Station? Are you adding it to your current line? Starting a separate line? I haven't decided yet.

Are we sure that ride is 'new' and it's not like a refurbed version of the old crazy mouse that was in that same spot!?!?! And I can't believe this park is getting even crappier! Hard to imagine!

^Yup. My glitch also went away.

And they had just 'fixed' Gao and even replaced giant track sections! Imagine what it used to be like.

Mmmmm Japan... And yes, Surf Rider was pretty awesome now!

Pretty cool looking!

Poor Chip and Dale!!!!

Yikes! That's scary! Two accidents with children's rides in a short time frame is a bit concerning.

^It's a different kind of rough, a rough you don't expect on a relatively new decent when it opened wooden coaster. KT hated it when we rode it last year, I won't be riding it again for any reason. It looks terrible back there, like they've given up completely on trying to keep it in shape.

^&^^ This is what I think about when I hear or see the 'Raptor Death' or 'Man killed by Raptor' topic:

^I don't follow this thread too much but I know I wouldn't have made fun of you for suggesting a retrack of Hulk. It's been a rumor for years after the ride was closed in the mid 2000's for stress fractures due to cycling too much.

^And you may in fact be right, but that just depresses me more! We live in a society where it's the parks fault that this idiot did something stupid and a place where someone sues a restaurant that specializes in throwing rolls for getting hit with a throwed roll.
