Ledgy Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Never saw a Waterride like that. If your planing the next trip, will you mention, that travelers should take their swimsuits on this ride!?!
PeoplemoverMatt Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Awesome Video Robb. I really hope that SFMM will someday use those fire house water cannons for Log Jammer. I'd probably spend about $20.00 in quarters on that if they did. Yeah but those 800 quarters would pay for about 5 minutes of legal advice from the team of attorneys that would likely have to be hired to ward off all the lawsuits. Those water cannons are INSANE!!!
robbalvey Posted December 11, 2009 Author Posted December 11, 2009 ^ Oh, yes that right! "North Pole Adventure" is just an AMAZING dark ride! I was happy to see that the ride was cloned TWO more times for Happy Valley Chengdu and Shanghai! --Robb
SharkTums Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 ^Agreed! A bit disappointed in Holiday World...shooting Santa and the Elves would have been much better than 'Calling' Turkeys!
Brandon4579 Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 love the cannons, it gets everybody on the ride
robbalvey Posted December 12, 2009 Author Posted December 12, 2009 When people ask me "What is your most crazy day at a theme park ever?" I have to respond "Nasu Highland, Japan. The day we rode coasters in the snow..." [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=nasu_dr5l[/coastertube] Also, please answer the poll question. I'd like to get some data about how you all are watching these videos and/or downloading them via CoasterTube.
Brandon4579 Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I've always wanted to ride coasters in the snow, but from the looks of this video I don't want to anymore.
XII Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I've always wanted to ride coasters in the snow, but from the looks of this video I don't want to anymore. How does the video make you not want to ride coasters in the snow? It makes me want to ride coasters in the snow.
BudtheWeiser Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I have to say coasters in the snow is easily my favourite tpr clip definitely something I must do before I die lol
RobWarren Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 That video is great. I'm cold now. Big Boom looks like it has a very steep drop for circa 1987. Hopefully those restraints have redundancy measures! Looks like you need them on that ride. Thanks Robb! P.S. Don't lick the coaster! -Rob
matteocrepaldi Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Best TPR video EVER!!! I already have it on my iPod because it's pure awesomeness!!!
Steelinwood Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 The swastika building is very .... euh unique ? I think it's a Buddhist symbol. They look very similar. Overall, that park is really umm... neat. I laughed when I saw the Screw Coaster!
metrock Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Coasters in the snow. Very cool indeed! (no pun intended). So, is it normal for the park to operate in the snow? I can't imagine they would get much business.
robbalvey Posted December 12, 2009 Author Posted December 12, 2009 ^ Most parks in Japan are year-round regardless of weather mainly because in Japan they don't really have or seem to understand the concept of "Seasonal Employment." If you go to work for a company in Japan, it's expeced that it's a full time position and you'll have that job sometimes for life. This is also why entrance tickets in Japan are much higher because they need to compensate for the very empty off-season where the park still needs to stay open all week long. Some parks close a couple of day during the week during the off-season but most of them are year round. During our December/January visits we encountered snow at many different parks in Japan. --Robb

Like theme parks on the fourth of July? Anyhow, at least they have an element of job security, since they won't have to rehire every new season. Though I wonder how the cold affects the maintenance...
jjune4991 Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Robb, I don't think you mentioned that you rode coasters in the snow enough
robbalvey Posted December 13, 2009 Author Posted December 13, 2009 How many parks can you do in one day? Our record is SEVEN!!! That's right...SEVEN! Watch us as we visit - 1. Mt. Olympus 2. Little Amerricka 3. Satan's Villiage 4. Safari Land 5. Kiddieland 6. Jeepers 7. Six Flags Great America [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=7_parks_1_day_vp9l_auzw[/coastertube]
jray21 Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 That's incredible. The most for me is 4, but that's at Disneyworld so it doesn't count at all. Wish I would've been on that trip!
coastered Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Back in the days when Six Flags had some themeparks in Europe, they had a special challenge. During this 48-HR Rollercoaster Challenge a bus full of rollercoaster fans had to visit all SF-Europe themeparks: Six Flags Holland, Warner Bros. Movie World Bottrop, Six Flags Belgium, Bellewaerde Park, Walibi Lorraine, Walibi Rhône-Alpes, Walibi Aquitaine and Warner Bros. Movie World Madrid. 48 hours, 8 themeparks and 5 countries in a 1800 mile trip.
matteocrepaldi Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Great video!!! I think it shows one of the most important elements in TPR philosophy: get the highest number of credits in the smallest amount of time!
carolinacaniac Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Very Cool. I havn't done but Three Parks in a day. That was Adventure Park USA, Planet Fun and Six Flags America. Might have to give it a try to try and meet that record though. -Gary T.
1pizza14 Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Did you get all the credits or just a few. Still that's completely insane! I could never do that. Or could I?? Its all a mystery now.
lipeconrado Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 I'd like to do that, but here in Brazil we don't have so many parks~ And ELISSA, i just love you! LOL really Someday we'll met each other at Six Flags Magic Mountain, in Goliath's line (or at Bush Gardens, in Sheikra's line) you choose :*
