Oh god, that takes me back. We're old and have been in this hobby way too long.

I always feel bad for seasonal parks that have bad weather on their big opening days! I'm glad the Swedish people are tougher than we are and made the most of it!

^I don't think it's the rides we're saying need help (although they certainly do too). It's the overall vibe, theme, and feel of the place. Kids and families deserve more than rides plopped down on concrete pads.

LOL! It's pretty bad when even Dorney is looking down on your park like "Damn, that's a lot of concrete!"

I just want to point out that those asking for an Android version, it's not something super easy like clicking a button to save as! The reason apps are much easier for iOS is that there is ONE apple operating system (sure there are versions, but you just make it for the latest version and make people upgrade!). When it comes to developing, testing, and making an app work for an "Android phone" there are literally HUNDREDS of different ones and it's really hard to make the app work right on a lot of them.

Bummed we didn't get to really see Mt. Fuji on this trip, it usually at least clears for like 5 minutes! Glad we all had a very tolerable visit though! I think it was one of our best ever if not the best.

I'll take a very smooth colossus thanks!!!

I feel like the people of Minnesota deserve/need something like this to tolerate their winter weather.

^We have some TPR Representatives there, I'm sure they'll post soon!

^If you're registering under Team TPR make sure to post the link as I'm sure some of us will be donating to teams we see out there!

^We're lucky that we live in such a large, diverse country with lots to do for sure! (But you should still go see the rest of the world!)

Please note - I'm not singling you out here specifically... but... American's need to get passports, get passports early in life, and travel!!! I realize we're making progress. It's currently estimated that 42% of American's now have one up from 4% in 1990!!!! This is still far behind most other civilized countries though.

Very cool! I went ahead and downloaded it. Excited to try it out on some weird rides.

I also still play quite a bit if anyone wants to add me... 2183 4800 8503

Love the bird themed trains!

Love "Scramilton"!

I think many of us are just immune at this point. We all assumed there would be screens, commercial confirmed screens...no big surprise.

Yeah, saw this video and story in the news the other day. That's what you get when parents use the parks as cheap/free babysitting!

^I have added that Gyoza place to my list of places to try next time! Thanks for that! Remember next time you do the MariCar, you won't be able to dress up in Nintendo clothes but other random outfits instead.

It's so crazy that some schools are on Spring Break this week and KT is down to less than five weeks till the end of the year!

I was thinking the SAME thing. I assume some of these are in show buildings, but some we know are outside. Guess this could be a ride where it actually DOES make a big difference day to night rides.

I know we've filmed on a couple of those crazy togo spinning flat rides, so I'll have to ask Robb if he ever made a video. They're so weird!

It used to be called Food Stadium and was blah, but we also ate there this past summer and it was MUCH improved! They had crazy fuji shaped curry rice dishes and more. There's also a random Auntie Anne's which is hilarious and delicious if you're ready for a break in Japanese food. Thanks for the kind words about the TR's. We really want as many people as possible to go see how awesome Japan is!

^Assuming you're going in May, this link will be very helpful for you: http://www.fujiq.jp/schedule/highland/201905/index.html When they update it (it's not currently populated with which rides will be closed), there will be red writing under most of those dates that will explain what rides will be closed that day. Yes it's in Japanese, but you should be able to Google Translate or look elsewhere on the site and figure it out. Also from that link is another page you should click on called "Fuji Q Today". That's the one you'll use when you're there to show what rides are operating and which ones are not. It also says why they're not operating (weather, maintenance, etc.) I haven't found the hotel to be much help with anything. The 'early entry' doesn't get you ahead of too many people and no rides are usually open for it. We have a contact we go through for tickets and their 'fastpass' type tickets so I can't help you too much there, but the booth used to be near the Carousel and the Mad Mouse Coaster. My advice for people visiting is to always RUN to whichever coaster is MOST important to you and make the best of your day you can!
