^Please don't put words in my mouth, I never said that pulling down the old Metro station had anything to do with the new coaster.

^The bus usually works a bit better time wise, but if you hit traffic it can hurt you.

^Looks great, thanks for sharing! Was there an English or picture menu or how did you order?

We keep saying we're only doing China once...then we went back...now we're going back again! I'm thinking we'll do another TPR Trip in 2016 for Shanghai Disney and more!

^

I can't wait to check out the Mythos rip off restaurant! What kind of food did they serve? I have never seen anything like the Mario Kart Autopia, love it! Thanks for the detailed look into a rarely seen park.

Crap! I got really excited and then Robb had to remind me that this is the one from Delgrosso's that I already have!!!! Boo!

^All they have to do is wait for a good size earthquake!

Does anyone else think it just looks like it finally fell apart? And not that it was actually taken down?

^^Oldest Woodie in Japan. I'm not *that* much of a coaster loser!

EVERYONE takes the train to Disney. The station is Maihama. Very easy from anywhere in Tokyo.

19 plus the bonus...I may be slightly in love with Japan!

^In their defense, Disney doesn't have Thomas. I don't think you realize what a giant brand Thomas the Tank Engine is for little boys (and even some girls). SFMM just couldn't convince families that they were trying and had enough for kids. Trust me, I was in Gymboree and mom's groups when they were building and opening the Thomas stuff. There are other parks in the world that use the Thomas license and it has turned their park around and given enormous profits. SFMM just couldn't make it work.

^I don't see anyone bashing Phantasialand...in fact all of the posters above you (except one teenager) love this campaign!

^That's a great suggestion. The FujiQ Japanese site will list all the closures usually a month in advance. Here's the direct link: http://www.fujiq.jp/calendar/suspend.html

^Nothing wrong with that!

^It's going to be epic! Mmmm Tokyo Disney!!!!!

I'm starting to like Phantasialand a little bit more if their harassing their customers and enthusiasts!

^I'm really trying to stay out of this but come on...you really feel that GCI's have "ejector air throughout the course"? GCI's have some floater air and some 'little pops' of air here and there. I sometimes see enthusiasts do the 'fake' airtime thing where they push up with their feet to get better airtime, that's the only way I could see someone claim the 'ejector' air on a GCI.

Do you like Roller Coasters or Rides better? Have you been to either before? Crowds will be comparable at each so should not factor into your decision.

^I think we all see what we want to see! I see Aquatrax's all the time!

^Your schedule looks good. It's important to get to Fuji early because the lines to even get in will get so long even with just a few people there. If you're first there, you're first in line to get tickets, then first in line in the park at an attraction of your choice. You can then also buy the fastpass tickets before they sell out. Also, sometimes the morning weather can be completely different than the afternoon. You need to maximize your time there to maximize your chance for credits.

This.

Oh Australia...you're either always on fire, flooding, too hot, or too cold.

A couple of things... - Joypolis is in Tokyo, not Osaka. - I would not recommend going to FujiQ from Osaka, I doubt you could make it by opening which is VERY important. Go to Tokyo first, base there, then head out to Fuji. - Japan school holidays don't start till the end of March, so you should be okay. - The Magic passes at Universal are awesome, if it looks busy at all, grab one! - The Disney days depend on how much you like Disney. First visit and you like Disney...absolutely three days.
