Hattuchili Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I agree with Ghost, Disneyland Tokyo and Disneysea looks really good. I hope there will be a chance to go there in the next years. --Sören "want to see more pictures" Schomburg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 I have a few words to say regarding Tobu Zoo before I put the pics. Frst off, when I went in early April, several of the rides were closed. Its also a while since I have been to a traditional zoo, so I was quite surprised by the condition of some of the animals. Its worth noting that I folowed, the very extensive, TPR Japan planning guide for most of my rip. Now I got slightly lost finding Tobu zoo, It was further than I thought from the train station and not imediatly visible. I had a GPS with me that saved my life several times in Japan, It even had the locations of the theme parks, which was great. Anyway Heres the photos. The parks skyline looks quite mpressive Another ride closed as was rocky, I was expecting that though. The G Max drop tower was also closed. My other main reason for visiting was this looping mouse, However it was closed today. Whilst it did look impressive, I found it Very Rough. Regina, was one of my main reasons for visiting the park. The Free Pass here is a sticker The enterance is not the most stunning in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterCrazy88 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Thank you for posting Tobu pics Dave! I am really sorry all of those rides were closed. If I was the one there that day I would have been ! The looping mouse looks so awesome, I wish you could have ridden it. Thanks again for the pics, Antonio G.

SharkTums Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 When did you go again? I'm shocked at all those rides were closed! Tobu Zoo was so great! But I agree with you about the actual Zoo, it was really sad seeing the animals in such hot, small cages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikrowave Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I was in Japan in March/April as well, visited Disney over 3 days April 11-13. I had zero lines but that was in part to the lousy weather. You're making me want to go back again soon with all these pics. Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 I was there from 1st April for 10 days, It was the weather that closed most of the rides. It was very windy. All rides were closed in Yokohama but it was Very Windy that day. I was very surprised that although they closed coasters in the wind the Feriss wheels stayed open. They were Very scary when yopu got to the top and the wind was whistling through the gondolas. Will post Yomiuriland next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hy Dave, thanks for posting and sharing all the photos. they`re all looking very amazing. I`m really looking forward to my visit next april. How was the weather during your april stay (but don`t compare it with dubai!)? And was Tobu Zoo the only park who shut down a lot of rides? Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Now we move on to Yomiuriland. This was a great park. The positions on top of a hill was great. The only thing that was closed was the Standing side of the Standing looping coaster. I did get quite busy in the afternoon and the weather was quite nice. Heres the pics. Here is the park mascot Landog this is the first view yo get of the park from the cable car the classic sign found inside the cable cars However on closer inspection it is self exlanatory the ticket machine may look daunting, with no english you reach the park by cable car its about 20 mins out of Tokyo.

dubaidave Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Part 2 You get a great view from the ferriss wheel. But it was looping The Standing Looping coaster, was not Standing today The place could do with a nice clean up White canyon, actually looks quite impressive They als put on concerts here This is a really nice, long and fast swoop over the lake. this train is heading towards the camera Heres a shot of the VERY rough White Canyon this ride has a lift hill at the end This park has definatly seen better times. Bandit was running one train forward and one train Backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubaidave Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 Photos from Fuji q Highland Part 1 It was a fantastic ride Even being there at park opening I waited 30 mins for Dodonpa this is not the actual wait time, but the wait time from that point. The 3rd que is for your photo on the freepass. No fighting with bears? You que to stand in another q and another one. Yes you que three times to get into the park! This is the first view you get of the park as you arive by bus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 Part 2 Fuji q The main one was down for refurbishment, but they had another one lurking in the woods. The 2nd must do is the haunted hospital And tis Heres why. Apart from coasters there are 2 `must do` s at Fuji Q. #1 is this toilet Tip1. If you are scared of feriss wheels, dont que for the 4 see through gondolas! Zola 7 is a really messed up shooting thing with a coaster section at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalMAN123 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Great pics! Looks like Fuji-Q is a fun park! Did you go on the suspended hamster coaster? After looking at Robb and Elissa's update at the park, seem like you had a way better day there. ---Brent 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubaidave Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 lol. I didnt get to ride the hamster coaster, even though the weather was great the wait times were huge. It seemed to be a lack of decent operations, rather than the amoun of people there. Anyway I only spent the morning at Fuji Q then went to Toshimaen in the afternoon. Will post those pics son.
