SharkTums

^Are you for real? The ride has trims all over it. You really can't handle it?

^Or do a TPR Trip!

^That week is Florida Colleges and Universities Spring Break. Some public schools may also go out that week, but it shouldn't be the biggest crowds by any means.

I'm assuming we're looking at a newer model similar to Takabisha. Hopefully with lap bars only!

^Thunder Dolphin isn't broken, it's been closed since December 2010 when a bolt fell off of the ride. It was a minor incident, but after two larger incidents with other rides at the park the whole park changed and closed many rides.

Credit! Yay! Another Eurofighter...meh. I really hope we're looking at one of the newer lap bar only models!

Really Guy? I think this has the best of the layouts I've seen on the Wing Riders. Layout plus Theming on this one makes it my most anticipated of the B&M Wing Riders.

Everyone comes to Orlando, all the time. We really want the list to be more for 'locals'. That being said, if you know you're coming down and will be in the area for more than a week feel free to drop us an email asking if there are any TPoRlando events going on.

^Email Robb.

Once again, I find myself agreeing with Chuck 100%.

I am beyond excited for our meetup tomorrow!!!!

The Zoo has improved a bit over the years. It's still an 'Asian Zoo', but it didn't depress me or anything. Cosmoworld had in the past been a pay per ride park. I believe after the earthquake they started offering an all included pass as well, but I'm not sure. I'm not as big of a fan as Hanayashiki as most other people are, but it certainly is worth it if you can make it over. You'd only need a couple of hours at most there.

Personally I would choose Tobu Zoo. But Yomiuriland has more credits. They both have a woodie so that's kind of equal. I much prefer Kawasemi to Bandit. Like others have said, Yomiuriland is more the complete park with walk throughs, dark rides, etc. Tobu Zoo is well, also a Zoo! If your partner likes animals that may be a good compromise.

Already being planned! From Shinagawa Prince, Yomiuriland will be easier and closer to hit up. Once you get closer to your trip, check the parks websites, for me it's become pretty easy figuring out what's open and closed since I've been reading the Japanese sites for 8 years now! But if you need any help deciphering just post here. LaQua had one minor safety issue on Thunder Dolphin along with two major safety issues on the spinning mouse and drop tower within about a three month period. This is basically unacceptable in Japanese culture so the majority of the park is now shut down. Some stuff is being worked on and renewed, but there's a chance we may never see Thunder Dolphin operate again. It's now been closed over a year. Mouse and Linear Gale are gone, not sure if they took the drop tower out yet, but it won't reopen.

He was obviously just upset about Jaws closing... From the Orlando Sentinel:

^LOL! It's tough though, Jaws was Intamin! I'm assuming this new thing will be Premier. Premier Credit or Intamin Ride...tough call.

^I totally understand! I think the thing is, I was ready (after being prepared for years now) to lose the rest of Lost Continent for Potter. Heck, I was even ready to lose Jaws for Transformers! But losing Jaws for more Potter...that was just mean!

^Exactly! I mean, from a business perspective putting it in both parks and requiring two park tickets is GENIUS!!! Like evil Rupert Murdoch genius! Doesn't mean it's going to make me happy!

Yeah, I mean it's a cool promotion and all, but I didn't think it warranted a giant lead up and NYE Time Slot ad space. Like others have said, all the parks have done this at one point or another, I think they only new thing is that both 'Magic Kingdoms' are doing it at the same time.

That's a funny point of view coming from someone who works at a national historic site! Plus Fievel/Woody Woodpecker is much more 'Old and Stupid' than Jaws was! I still don't think a lot of you are getting why the people who are upset, are upset. Jaws isn't being replaced for some amazing new IP or land, it's being razed for MORE POTTER! There will now be Potter in both parks. Potter stuff that will be relatively similar to the existing Potter Stuff. If they want to put this much potter in, just raze IOA and turn that into Potter Hell. Leave some park alone with other Universal properties!

I can't believe it hasn't been said yet...but... NIGHT MAZE!!!! Seriously though, these walls make DCA's walls look like art!

^It's a real map.

As much as I don't like hipsters, I also think this is very dumb of Skee Ball! It's a great opportunity for free press and some fun marketing tie-ins. Everyone is so sue-happy nowadays!

The craziest thing on that map is that Fear Factor Live is still on it! Wonder how much longer that has...I'll give it a week!
