I enjoyed Expoland quite a bit.......just like SteveC......oh that's right

SFNE > EGF. That is all

Only if you are.

Ya know, the POV's for Balder don't do anything for me either but riding it was a completely different story. And the whole section after the MCBR is Balder-esque while the whole first part is like El Toro! How can that be a bad thing!!

^All good stuff

Also Lou credit free and I have been on three trips with her.

I think mine is a bit outdated don't ya think?

At first glance I thought that said people over 56..as in 56 years old......which made me think what a great "dig" at Jeff that was.

I think I need to change my underwear now

Lou, why are there pictures of the same people over and over again? Oh wait, that's a different thread, sorry. Just kidding. It's nice to reminisce the trips....especially when there is a foot of snow outside my window.

I said scenery, not theming.....Yea, in park is crap, but the backdrop is great..... Pavement = bad. Mt Fuji = Red Dawn. More Eejanika Probably my favorite pic of the trip. nice... From the hotel...

I will comment as I am in the minority on many points of what Robb and many others said.... Jeff Waters and I hit up FujiQ a few days before the whole crew to insure we got all the credits.....and good thing because many of us didn't get them all in the one visit. On the first day we got there at opening and headed right to Eejanika. We had to wait about 20 minutes there. Dodonpa was an hour and Fujiyama was 45 minutes on this day (a weekday). The rest of the credits were short waits. That being said, the wait times on the Saturday the whole crew went was ridiculously long. And I agree with many of the comments including the silly rain rules, the inefficiency of the crews to move the lines along and the installation of such low capacity rides. But I absolutely loved Eejanika. As a ride I will probably never ride again, I was glad it was intense and a wild ride. Dodonpa is ridiculously powerful in the launch and the punch in the gut airtime at the tophat is a must do experience. Sadly, due to the long line, I only hit it once. Fujiyama imo is an absolute blast. The airtime is really really good, the layout unique and some of the elements are cool. And you cannot beat the scenery. It is the best scenery of any park (or any place) that I have ever been to. It is sad that the majority of us had a bad experience. It is capable of so much. But, my opinion is in the minority. I know Jeff Waters had a good time when we went alone and SteveC also enjoyed himself when he went on his side trip to FujiQ. Yes, a few of us skipped out on a 3rd of 4th day at Tokyo Disney / Disney Sea to go to FujiQ on our own!

Oh, so long as it was "only 12 seconds", then it should have been ok then right? Um, no.

Clinging to fake pearls....that's great Piers. Nice hair by the way....looks like it could use a little shampoo!

On the 20th? Yeah I am. Is it really worth going without Superman open?

No problem Larry. More so the hygiene thing than the maturity level though.

^ Which is why Larry happily fits into the kindergarden group!

Well, not having been tainted with having magic mountain as a home park, and thoroughly enjoying X a few years back, I absolutely loved Eejanikia. I am in the minority here, but I am not alone. Japanese X is so much better than X is (at least when I rode it.) Fugi-Q needs a lot of work but they have 3 really great rides. I was one of a handful that went twice. It has such great potential. And it is set with the best scenic background I have ever seen.

Blah blah blah japan...blah blah kiddy coaster in japan. 500 is just a number....and at your age it should be higher.

Big Mike > Larry and uncool Rich combined only when referring to body mass.....aka weight.

Did you receive your luggage? Sure did as I only brought carryon Oh James, I am taking lots of pictures of all the cool wrist bands the parks are giving us

Well, looks like you guys are having fun. I wish I was there....oh wait....I am!

Woah, On that link with the patents, there is one for a wooden inverted coaster On second thought, an inverted intamin-ish wooden could be unbelievable.....

Mike, You must have been out of the BOTBC loop, as I was invited back there. Its not my fault they didn't check with you.

Ryan, don't add to Big Mike's big ego
