^On the plus side, I have a spreadsheet of about 40 'Weird Parks of Japan'...we're only hitting 1/4 of them!

Minors are allowed on these trips but must be personally approved by me first. This will involve talking with you and your parents.

Email me privately if you're interested in the Japan Tour but have not been there before. For all of you wondering, there are a few reasons we are not recommending this tour to first timers: 1. It's a lot of train travel, jumping on and off trains, quick transfers, jumping in cabs, etc. 2. You will not hit any of the 'normal' or 'big' Japan parks. 3. We will pass right by some of the other parks to go hit up a park you've never heard of. 4. Most of the trip is base camping in cities that are NOT Tokyo! 5. We expect everyone on this tour to have a certain knowledge of international travel. 6. It's very much one of our 'adventure tours' and things will change quite a bit on the fly. 7. This will be a much smaller than normal trip...probably less than 20 people total.

^There will be a UK Trip in the next few years. We didn't list EVERY trip we'll be doing the next few years.

^^Sorry Colin...that's the problem though, we need to go when MOST of us are out of school and before all the Europeans get out of school! Tell your crazy Jersey school to get you out earlier! ^I have a feeling his family would disown him if he did that!

Most likely into Copenhagen (CPH) and out of Helsinki (HEL). These will be confirmed in October to all those signed up for the trip.

There will be a group flight and possible bonus parks.

^^It will be set in stone by October, but for now you can assume into Cincinnati and out of Chicago.

I think there have been no reports from yesterday because the place obviously just fell into the pits of hell deep beneath Earth!

^OH NO!!! NOT THIS AGAIN!!! The park is not out of room and could easily build a Hyper/Giga. There were at least two sets of plans in the past that showed a station in Ghost Town and the new Pier area I believe.

^You must have had a good train. I rode it once and it gave me a horrible headache.

^^It doesn't matter if they do or not because the Six Flags websites are always wrong. For instance, right now if you click on rides, then click on the specific ride, it tells you that Apocalypse and X2 are both closed. We know from people visiting the park that Apocalypse has been open at least a couple of days now.

Good luck on BSG! One full day should be fine for the park. I would also allow one full day for other Sentosa Activities.

^Don't worry Adam, I'm not letting Hanno go up that tower! I know how he does with heights!!!

If anyone is there today, I'd love to see reports! That is TERRIFYING!! Also, it's kind of a slap in the face to the people staying at the 'resort' and paying for admission with their room rate.

It's certainly warm enough in Spain to warrant a water park, they have a ton all over the country, is there any other one near Madrid?

Where's your awesome picture of you guys standing next to the op with the 'closed for rain' sign where you can see her shadow because it was bright and sunny out!?!? That photo and the "Take off your wristwatch, put it in a locker, and put a loose key around your wrist instead" are two prime examples of FujiQ's quest to be the SFMM of Japan!

I love this picture. Even though I can't see Dan's face, I can feel his expression. I also love the sheer delight in KT's face as she tries to kill Dan.

Nobody can agree with opinions, just to be realistic. What are you talking about??? Of course people can agree or disagree with someones opinion!!! I'm just saying your post was completely useless and served no purpose in furthering discussion. It did however lead to some laughs from our members so I guess I'll take it!

I am happy to provide the Elissa version of the SFMM Q&A on that day...mine will be MUCH better!

^I wouldn't hold your breath!

^LOL, wow, you're really going out on a limb there saying that this will be in the top 5 of 7 total rides in the world!

I just feel this needs to be mentioned a LOT!

^^Your first mistake was trusting the SF Website, your second was trusting the SF employees!

^It really depends on what you're into. If you just want the credit you could be in and out in 15 minutes. If you want to do some of the interesting attractions you could easily spend 2 hours or more. If you want to explore the surrounding area you could be there all day!
