SharkTums

Sigh...I miss Japan and it's plethora of rodent related merchandise.

^I wonder what was the fastest RMC conversion to date from last ride to first ride? This seems pretty quick!

CP did such a good job the last few years with the entrances, hotel upgrades, food upgrades, and of course rides. It's now overdue to bring the bathrooms out of the campground 70's theme and to modern times. Also, as I mentioned in several places the bugs this time were out of control. Not something I expected in August. In the past I had only seen swarms like these in May/June. Poor KT and I in the front row of SV at dusk was a painful experience. Great report, looking forward to having you join us again next year!

Tokyo Disney!!!!!

^^So cool, and please do post costume photos! We're already planning ours for next year as I know we need to step up to seem at all respectable!

Jake has a pretty good TR from this park back in 2009. Not much has changed! http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=910074

I also think it's getting harder for these smaller outdoor parks to compete with some of the giant indoor FEC, trampoline, ninja warrior type places that don't have to worry about weather.

We rode it at the end of 2016 and it was a one and done. Definitely not the roughest B&M I've been on, but not super great by any means.

So obviously the splash battle is a retheme, were there any other rides/attractions/food/shopping in this land (Chima I think?) or are the other additions actually new?

^The park has announced that nothing will change for any current pass holders that don't want anything to change. Hopefully that stays the same as many of us are in the same boat as you.

This is what nightmares are made of. Perfect!

I mean it was testing with water dummies so that has to be a positive sign after months of inactivity. Wouldn't literally ANYTHING be a positive sign after absolutely NOTHING for the last 3+ months!?!? Like an employee could walk by the ride and spit on it and that would be something!

We're looking to announce our 2019 Trips within the next few weeks!

What about Silver Dollar City and City Museum/SFStL? Also, of course would throw Orlando in as a great option.

My favorite part of this TR installment was the watering can back at Knoebels. I've just never been a big fan of Hershey. That being said, Storm Runner is ridiculously awesome and underrated. I love that ride and I wish we had more of them!!!

I completely agree. I'm pretty surprised by all of the people saying how they'll miss the current entrance. It just doesn't make sense for a 'real' theme park.

Also, seeing that train made me RATIONALLY angry at the US again. WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE FAST TRAINS?!?!?! I was looking at DC to NYC which is roughly 220 miles (the same distance we took that awesome Green train from Tokyo to Sendai) and it takes 3.5 hours by train. It took us 94 minutes in Japan. Grrr!!!

^^The footage is just so intense I don't even know if I can sit through editing it!!!!

And yet every other park doesn't leak and instead has a plan/games/teasers/etc. I stand by accidental leak and now covering it up saying what a social media genius they are!

^SWO has gotten rid of a LOT of the higher-ups lately and there are a lot of new/young people running marketing, PR, etc. Certainly odd to one, leak documents, and two, confirm the leaks!

I miss Knoebels. Great report. Is it time to go back yet!?!?

And the best part of the Kraken VR fail is that it means they will never put it on Kumba like was really close to happening!!!

You forgot the best one!!!
