rosscoe Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Thanks for the link. But i am not sure if that is it, cause i found this..... On monday Saori, Imanouelle and I slept over at Haruka's house and we all went to Yomiuriland yesterday!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, if some of you realize its my second time in about 2 weeks!! But they had the new splash bandit (People squirted water guns at you first and there were 2 other places where the Yomiuriland people sprayed at you with a hose) So not 100% sure if that is the same ride. I think it is. On the parkwebsite there is a pic of an op hosing water of the people riding the coaster. So the added the water feature to the coaster and now call it Splash Bandit. It is in any case very very weird, certainly if it also has a backward train on the track. Sorry my bad. Saw the bloody axe, the woman on the tap, the people doing water ballet, but missed the shot i was looking for... In that case thanks so much for the POV
thefitness Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Haha, They changed the name of the ride because they now spray you with a garden hose when you go by? For some reason I think that would only happen in Japan.
thomas2 Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 Haha, They changed the name of the ride because they now spray you with a garden hose when you go by? For some reason I think that would only happen in Japan. I don't think they changed the name of the ride (but I could be wrong). I think Splash Bandit is just the name of this 'event' (from 7/14 'till 9/2 according to the website) where they spray you on the ride. The parkwebsite still calls it's ride Bandit.
thefitness Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 ^Thanks for explaining that. It makes a little more sense now, although it's still pretty bizarre(in a crazy-awesome way)
matteocrepaldi Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 I miss you soooo much!!! Have fun in Japan!!!

SharkTums Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 KidTums and I just got back from Space World where we had an awesome day!!!! The rest of the group headed on to Uminonakamichi, but I brought her back to the room since it's pretty hot and humid out. (And since I have the credit! ) Anyways, another awesome day..Robb start posting updates!!!! 1 Hour in the park before it opened to the public to ride Venus and Zaturn!!!
SteelPeppe2000 Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Hi Robb, thank you for the other day at Laqua. I was happy to meet theme park review's group (but I missed the Elissa credit). Hope to see you again at disneyland/sea fujikyu and yokohama parks. Giuseppe
SharkTums Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 KidTums and I missed meeting you!!! See you back in Tokyo in a week!
cobra_roll06 Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Hey hope you guys are having a great time! Keep us updated with crazy stuff use find or any crazy situations...it's a TPR trip, anything can happen!
Gav Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Were you guys looking forward to seeing Lagunasia? there is this ride there i have been wondering about for ages called "Treasure Hunting" which is one of those motion base tracked rides like Indiana Jones (come to think of it, its just a rip off of Indiana Jones anyway) Being a big fan of those, it'd be cool to eventually see pics of that whenever. I think I saw one pic showing the vehicles in the station on some site, but it'd be interesting to see how a non disney/universal park does that sort of ride. Lagunasia looks like a little gem of a park though, Japanese must have a thing for parks with a sea theme. have fun there.
thrillerman1 Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 This trip rocks. Hi Coasterzone chat buds.
Bruno Lancetti Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Hey Robb... more Lou pics please!!! Ahahahahah...!!! Have a wonderful trip!!!
EmBy Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Nice update Robb, I totally forgot this trip had actually started, I'm still checking out the US trip.... Great to read KidTums is having a great time too. Sounds like there are some awesome parks over in Japan/Korea.
Jive Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Are you guys out of the way of the typhoon? The wife and I got caught in it this afternoon and Parque Espana and got screwed out of the two outdoor coasters. The storm should clear the area around lunch time though and we'll be heading to Nagashima Spa Land.
Moose Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 ^ I've been wondering the same thing. I hope everyone is ok.
Canobie Fan Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Oh James, I am taking lots of pictures of all the cool wrist bands the parks are giving us Booooo
