I love how SFGAd does 'Jersey' so well!

^Maybe you were taking a picture of the detailed queue gates for Thunder Mountain? That's what it kind of looks like to me.

Can anyone think of any other business/product/service where if you buy something and then they raise the price later they charge you the difference!?!?

And now I'm hungry for Gyoza!!!

Wasn't this the prototype? And doesn't Skyline often get weird prototype Maurer stuff? Maybe they're just making room for whatever is next!

^LOL! Too soon.

^Florida residents usually get $5-$10 off single one day Volcano Bay tickets. Other than that you're going to have to pay that price or sit through a time share presentation if you want cheaper tickets. They're really pushing the '3 park' multi-day tickets and pricing the one park, one day tickets stupid.

OMG! You can't make this stuff up!!!!

For those of you wondering about the coasters here, check out these TPR Filmed POV's of the main two coasters at the park. Weird Wild Mouse Type Coaster Second Oldest Coaster in Japan

Here's the TPR Filmed POV of Silver Comet, shame to lose it! With the Indiana Beach and Fantasy Island closing announcements today I figured some of you may want to see the POV's of the coasters. Here you go! Silver Comet

It’s no secret the park hasn’t been as amazing as it was ten years ago recently but I think we were all still really hopeful and pulling for them. This is sad. Also, if anyone knows how I can get a few of their fascination machines please let me know!!!

^I really agree with you, I just don't see a lot of these smaller parks able to find their niche and compete with the big corporate parks in Japan. It's a shame because they have a totally different kind of charm and offerings. We'll keep visiting as many Japanese parks as we can to show the world and maybe even the locals how great they are!

^Red Pandas are still terrible even though I do like Aggretsuko!

^Yeah, I think it's a vitamin drink sponsoring the area. Japan has a TON of crazy healthy drink options that may or may not be witch craft.

At a time when so many Japanese parks are closing, it's nice to see Yomiuriland expanding! New coaster for 2021! They're adding another 'pavilion' to their newest area. It's a jobs/factory area previously home to the amazing Fashion themed spinning coaster and ramen themed rapids ride. Excited to see what this actually ends up being!

I live for this thread...especially when we just tied the all time high temperature yesterday in Orlando. 88 lovely degrees in February!!!

Great report! Love all the Godzilla stuff so much.

Why yes, I have booked my return trip to japan already!

^I assume we'll see cuts at the US parks that consumers will notice and probably more so employees. I'm sure there are high ups in panic mode right now trying to figure out how to recoup some of this money.

^Let us know how it is!

I've noticed the SCMP slant as well. Someone really must have murdered their mother at a theme park or something cause they have it out for the parks! I will say that they're not wrong about the remoteness but great infrastructure at those hotels but I'm also assuming it was just a random idea by someone who wants to see parks fail. I also don't think Hong Kong needs that many quarantine beds at this time.

The Schengen stuff is super interesting! I don't think I ever really even thought about that it must be an actual place.
