If you want extreme rides and don't want to queue for hours then I would suggest Nagashima Spaland. If it is busy they offer a skip the line pass for some of the bigger rides.

Pipeline - The Surf Coaster Media Day today! Check out our multi-angle video of the ride... I actually thought the 'gimmick' of the bouncing worked way better than I thought it would. I will say, the ride was not 'fluffy' friendly as we saw quite a few people getting kicked off.

They should have at least built two of them though like Disney or Nagashima for capacity.

^Remember Robb is on the 10Best Panel so you're welcome!

Very interesting the way they're doing the colouring to 'disappear' into the skyline.

Disney was probably one of the last parks on Earth to monetize the 'skip the line' programs so I really don't think they started the problem!

Something about calling this coaster the "All-American" after it was made in Germany, and then operated in Germany, England, Malaysia, and Mexico just makes me laugh! Glad they are getting it going though!

Cabana Bay is a lot. I like it, but I also like craziness and kitsch. It's like all of Disney's All Stars rolled into one hotel.

I mean, the reduction of early entry rides is a big hit and kind of sucks, but they don't have to offer anything so at least being able to get in and get to the ride you want before the GP is helpful. And like others have said, new mouse credit!?!? lol

Looks like they're pretty decent for a summer job in central PA!

^Having a room at Breakers and FastLane Plus really changes how you can do CP! It makes it much more tolerable!

I need to see the track in person. I really can't tell if I like it from photos. It almost looks a little 'carny' but I'm hoping it looks more real in person.

I love the look of the cabins and think it's great they're getting redone, I don't totally understand making them a DVC but I'm also not into the whole time share thing so???

Thanks for the update, everything is looking great! Is the flume running this season before they figure out what to do with it?

What's the drivers license age in Ohio? Perhaps they chose 16 and over cause those kids can drive themselves so it's slightly less babysitting? Also, I get this, and it's a good idea, but it's frustrating from a parent of a good kid who has gone to parks alone with her friends since the age of 12 and not gotten into trouble!!!

Looks great! So excited to go to this park for the first time ever this summer!

Tornadoes in New Jersey in early April...EVERYTHING IS FINE!!!!

We've seen red and green track in concept art released from the park but I don't know if we ever saw any ACTUAL track in those colors?

Awww...I mean, it was sooooo bad it was almost fun?!!??!

^FYI - the big rides with long lines have been closing the line HOURS before park close. =( Again, hopefully this will be changed and back to normal by the time you go but I tend to doubt it. Also, B&TB Premier Access sells out in the morning so you would have no chance at that. I agree to spend more time at Sea than Land, but the parks are very different from how they used to operate so keep that in mind.

I think this is a great, valid, and topical question. I have many of the same feelings as posters above but will add something else that we've done in the past and will continue to do. OFFSET! You know when you buy airfare and they tell you that if you pay a little more you can offset your carbon emissions for the flight? I do that for some of the places we visit! In the past I have donated to Women's and Gay Rights organizations when visiting the Middle East. The LDF, ACLU, and NAACP when in certain US States. And now will probably add Abortion Rights and LGBTQ+ orgs in our US Visits as well. Like others have said, I will not let stupid laws and rules that most of the public doesn't even support stop me from doing something I love and making me happy, but I absolutely can choose to spend the bare minimum in certain places or with certain brands. Everyone who does our trips know that I will go out of my way to avoid Chick Fil A and try to stop the bus at food stops where that's not even an option but I'm not going to ban someone from eating there, I'll just try to educate them on either better options or the offset theory that I use! We have been very vocal since before it was a thing that we don't support JK Rowling but Kristen loves Harry Potter and I'm not going to deny her something she loves because of that horrible bitch! I'll just continue to be vocal about it so people can at least know that she's terrible! Hope this helps and makes sense!

^I googled a few Japan school calendars and it looks like most schools are back in session by your dates.

^Interesting!

^Honestly seems like kind of a cool idea for passholders for free! Would love to know what they're capping it at or how? Those extreme rides have very low capacity and if they're running them free that's crazy!

Nice looking theming!
