http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=1678 If youve read Captains fantastic China/Thailand TR ( http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35010&start=0 ) currently on the forum you may of noticed the Shijingshan Amusement Park being a bit of a disney rip off. but i never realised just how much of one it was. Check out the above link for some awesome shots and explanations my personal fave is this one

Ginzo that was one of the poorest most ignorant arguments ive ever read. But as mentioned. one less person in line for the rest of us. I bet the murder rate is probably higher in florida than UAE yet u'll still goto disney? Dubai Land is getting more impressive every week. The model doesnt really show much though. the coasters are a bit haphazard as far as models go and dont give anything away. Its going to be good to see another new park go up infront of our eyes too.

was it not repainted about 2 years ago? that new coaster looks quite odd from the diagram. any sign of the Water Soaker Coaster? Awesome TR btw looking forward to the Thailand section

yes its one of 2 in the world that uses this layout. as mentioned above the other one is at SAL in China. The inversions are the same but the layout is different

Was the yo yo land coaster SBNO still? looks like a nice little ride. Cant wait for the pics

i await the pics eagerly Keep an eye out for construction at Siam Park as they bought the SLC and Boomerang from Jerudong Park. And hopefully you'll be able to back me up on the fact that Zoom at YoYo Land truely is that bad

That seems a little odd that they would demolish it even after saying to the save dreamland people that they could move it. Its a little depressing that they demolished one of only 2 left in the world

i went just as i was becoming an enthusiast a few years back. I loved it back then in my innocent un-opinionated form. Id love to go back now to see what i think now but as far as im concerned it was a lovely family park with some good (just not great) rides. The area itself is lovely too and its worth heading around lake garda.

it looks passable. better than g-force but not a patch on abismo.

Hey Pictures worked for me this time Jahan those pillars you saw on the way out of Bangkok are part of what is known as the "Hopewell Project". unfortunatly it seems they will never be reused. http://www.2bangkok.com/2bangkok/MassTransit/HopewellMain.shtml Due to its topsy turvy politcal past there are plenty of such projects around, although hopewell is the most obvious. another good example is the Lavalin Skytrain. Anyhow onto the park, a great TR and was nice to see the park again. Back in 2004 Space Mountain didnt have any effects. it was just dark. so those are new (or just switched off when i was there). Did you see the deer that pees on you on the rapids? or the dog that pees on you when you walk past? 2nd only to bon bon land for odd humour edit: Jahan do you have any more pictures of the kiddie coaster? just noticed its changed since i was there in 04. Heres the picture i took back then http://www.rcdb.com/ig2559.htm?picture=1 certainly not the same ride...

yeah me too Anyway im looking forward to seeing them. i visited in 2004 and would love to see how its changed.

http://coaster.fc2web.com/special/usj/usj_hdr_070309.mpg another much better video. worth watching again for the night shots and the ariel shots taken from the near by tower. It also shows the 4 hour queue and the fact there are indeed some effects of sorts in that tunnel some nice pics here too http://coaster.fc2web.com/special/usj/gallery3.htm

http://www.usj-i.net/ The ride is open check out the video on this page for some off-ride shots and you can finally see what this ride looks like at night. Those trains are awesome The Music Selection device is also seen here

Whoops

congrats guys

Edit: http://www.usj-i.net/cgi-bin/mtbbs/sr2_bbs.cgi?action=showlast&cat=&txtnumber=log&next_page=8&t_type=normal&mynum= Check the odd photos out on here. There is currently a box round the MCBR and screens round the station run. There is also a better testing video here http://www.usj-i.net/movies/2007/hdrtest/ This one only works in IE for me :S

heres a shot of the cars for the ride. http://info-usj.at.webry.info/200702/article_8.html (fixed the link i hope)

Just found out something interesting. It appears the Cyclone actually has an exact clone in india it turns out BPB consulted on the Nicco Park in Calcutta and built a clone out there. http://rcdb.com/id2485.htm Sat pic of it here http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=22.570605,88.422003&spn=0.003192,0.002951&t=k&hl=en So for those of you who miss it. at least it lives on in some respect.

http://www.kjw.co.kr/company/btm_cp011.htm just came across this on the site. Anyone here fluent in korean?

saw Bloc Party last week. not sure how big they are in the USA. but was a superb gig. One of the most energetic gigs i've been to in ages. It annoys me all my favorite bands are smaller american ones which never tour the Uk. One day when im rich however...

Vekoma Fan Boy. I advise you read the rules for this forum then Dont mean to be rude but there is no rule about posting links to such videos in this forum. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21962

well its still possible then is there anything else the ground work could be for? We can only hope...

Hey guys. just came across a video gallery on youtube i thought you would all like, they're by Purplefinale who also runs this site http://xthrill.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ Theres an impressive selection of rides on here too. with very nice videos of Venus, Vanish, Thunder Dolphin at Night and a few of the more interesting little coasters around Japan. heres the link http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=purplefinale&page=1 anyway enjoy

Hey all just came across this video on youtube. thought it would interest everyone. Bandit at Yomouri Land running with backwards trains. Im not sure when they do this but i hear its on certain days each year. quite a cool change though.

Its nice to see it being saved. i do wonder if it will look anything like the picture though. its sister ride the Andalusia Railroad from Kure Portopia Land was saved a while ago and went to russia but although they didnt take the mountain side with them they did take the frame. meaning it looks really odd now. http://rcdb.com/ so i hope they do get rid of the excess structure.
