Project Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Our final day in Japan... Oh, look, Hello Kitty...in Japan??? I don't believe it! --Robb Forget kitty, there are like _400_ totoro & friends there, I want them all! Oh and awesome updates as usual
atem122 Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Yay! Moving walkways! Magic Mountain could totally use one of these. Magic Mountain could also (re)use one of those fancy old drop towers in the background (at least I believe that's what it is). Great trip report as usual, it was great seeing places that fly under the radar. Did you guys get to ride that first gen drop tower?
robbalvey Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 ^ It actually was closed the day we were there. But it looked operational and some maintenance guys were working on it. --Robb
coastb2 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 How are you doing on the video of the povs of all the jet coasters?
SharkTums Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 ^Robb has many things he's working on. Jet Coaster POV Disc is not priority one right now. Please just be patient and you'll get your footage in due time.
Njit Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Damn, why don't they make all Ultra Twisters the same The are 7 UT's in RCDB and only one of them has the Dive Loop. I did the UT in Nagashima Spa Land. It was one of the weirdest coasters i've ever done... Now i will have to go back to Japan to get the extra wacky credit.
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Japan: Very odd, yet very cool at the same time. You can never tell when something is supposed to be charming or creepy.
Silver Swordsman Posted December 24, 2009 Posted December 24, 2009 You should consider going to Taiwan. It has a few worthy roller coasters. Taiwan sports a B&M Dive machine (Oblivion clone) and a custom floorless coaster, not to mention a custom Vekoma invert and an LIM "Impulse" invert--one of the best themed ones in the world. Taiwan also boasts the world's only "tilt coaster", the fantasy track that we all slobber about in RCT3. Most theme parks are small holding only one to two coasters, and are scattered throughout the island, but with the new high speed railway, it is actually possible to visit all of them in one or two days. However, I still know that China has the bigger wallet and the bigger population... Poor me.
dajamess Posted July 20, 2010 Posted July 20, 2010 Just went to Shanghai Happy Valley yesterday. Saw something cool. They fixed the "Souring Dragon" sign outside the attraction. It now saids "Soaring Dragon" as it is supposed to. SOARING DRAGON
andyuk200523 Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Ok, confused time...... How does the car switch back so it is facing the right way for the station? There is very little information on this version of the Ultra Twister available on the internet, and the one video I managed to find on YouTube doesn't show what happens after the breaks. Hopefully someone can answer this!
Gutterflower Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Hey I believe there is a turntable after the brakes which turns the trains around in a way not unlike many logflumes. I'll see if I can dig up a picture
andyuk200523 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Ahhhh, I thought this might be the case, if you have a photo that would be very useful (as there is little if not anything about this 1 off ride on the internet!) Thanks very much
