RoCo Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Mickey Monorail hand-rings?!?!? In my freaking car?!?!? MUST HAVE!!! Also: "... the Japanese people are all very polite and orderly. There was no line cutting, no pushing, no rude behaviour..." Again, Japan, I love you. To echo what others have already said, even without any "drunk Piers" videos, this whole Japan update is the Greatest. Trip Report. Ever.
Mrlittle Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I am going to Orlando in a few weeks. After seeing Tokyo Disney like this, I wish I could cancel those plans and just go there. It just looks like a better park. And it never looks to crowded. I mean everything just looks better from the rides, to the shows, to the hotels. Don't get me wrong WDW has a magical feeling but Tokyo, after seeing this very great and detailed update. Lets just say I want to book my trip for next summer. When is TPR going back?
SharkTums Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 When is TPR going back? We usually do some sort of Japan Trip (of course including Tokyo Disney Resort) every other year. So start planning and saving for 2013!
Buckeye_Ben Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I don't even want to THINK about how long those lines would be at a US park. If those lines were for Firehawk @ KI, you'd be stuck there all day! Yay Tokyo Disney operations!
Nrthwnd Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Tokyo - Disney - Sea - is my mantra. Have to love a volcanoe > a castle.... with FIRE!
finrollercoaster09 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 why you dont take pov that yellow ride? btw great park!
robbalvey Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 ^ I'm sorry that we only posted 72 attraction videos from our Japan trip. Next time I'll try harder.
cfc Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 why you dont take pov that yellow ride? btw great park! Really, dude, think before you post. These trips and updates aren't all fun and games--they're also hard work. Thanks for all that you've done, Robb--the TDS Updates were particularly good.
Andrewoplis Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Just loving these updates! I was thinking the same thing about the city seine in monsters inc."WTF, men in black rip off!" But every thing in this resort looks amazing!
sspaz1000 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Awesome, awesome update. I've just emailed myself all the YT links to watch when I get home from work. I am definitely saving up for a TPR trip to Japan.
joco07 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 WOW, this park looks great lots of unique rides and Disney Sea's Tower of Terror has so much detail its amazing. I think they should just like make it an actual hotel how cool would it be to be right next to a ride and stay at the park, now I realize the ride probably wasn't made for a hotel. Great update
VandeSte Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 There is already a video of that new ride at Fuji-Q! Damn, that is one crazy ride. Need a more stable video though. http://flavorwire.com/193982/video-of-the-day-ride-the-worlds-steepest-roller-coaster Saw the link and opinions from Fark.com /awesome ride //slashies
Nozzy Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Those Mickey hand rings really are the most awesome souvenir ever, and Kidtums is too cute in the Monstes, Inc. shop- she could pass for Boo with the pink dress! Thanks again for the beautiful pictures of an amazing place!
kasseroo Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Yet another brilliantly in-depth update! I loved the retro theme of this update! Pooh's Hunny Hunt and Monsters Inc. Ride and Go Seek never cease to astound me! I'm excited and sad that there's only one update left!
QueerRudie Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Whew- glad to see you got some StarPort action after all... and I love the 'retro' flashback to DL/MK's look prior to the retrofits... Some things really seemed to throw me off, though. Doing some mental calculations of the prices of food- is that they aren't all that bad compared to DL or MK for food prices; perhaps I've simply spent too much time at DL in the past few years to notice. Also: Was It's a Small World 'politically corrected' as was the DL version? I think that might have been the biggest let-down of finally being able to ride the DL version- as it didn't quite seem like it was Mary Blair's work to it. Overall: Looking forward to the Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain update... nothing beats a bit of mountain-hopping!
robbalvey Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 ^ The prices of food weren't that bad when the Dollar was stronger, at the moment, though, with out weak the Dollar is compared to the Yen, prices weren't terrible, but they weren't amazing.
la2lvtom Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 When I went to Tokyo Disneyland last year we saw the baby ducks walking around while people were watching them and I looked at my dad and told him "You know if we were in America somebodys kid would be chasing them". I love how the Japanese people respect the animals and let them roam on their own. Robb, I kept bothering you to ride Winnie The Pooh a second time for me. Please tell me in the video the second ride through was for me, that would be better than a Bag O' Crap (but I would not turn down the Bag O' Crap). Easily the best dark ride EVER. I absolutely love Tokyo Disneyland but it really kinda feels like any Disneyland, I wish there was a little more "Japanese" influence there but it still was an amazing experience. Did you guys catch the parade? I am not a parade person, in fact I avoid them like the plague but last year I got caught up in a crowd watching the Halloween parade and was surprised by how good it was. I actually camped out the next day to watch the parade in its entirety. I'm really enjoying the updates and can't wait for the final one. Thanx for all your hard work.
la2lvtom Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 When is TPR going back? We usually do some sort of Japan Trip (of course including Tokyo Disney Resort) every other year. So start planning and saving for 2013! Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Is this some sort of tease????? please tell me your serious, please, please, please.
The SETGO Guys Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Greatest Updates Ever! The Castle looks great, and the Landscaping is "Perfect". Seriously this park looks amazing. Edited July 15, 2011 by The SETGO Guys
DenDen Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 OK, I fought watching the Pooh video, but I finally did, and Robb wasn't kidding. That is seriously cool technology!!!! Never thought I'd be impressed by a Disney ride. Just wow!
nay Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 I saw the Duffy display in World of Disney this week and it made me miss Japan. But I still hate him. Can we please replace him with Shiriki instead? Or Chandu?? A tiger cub is way cuter than that dumb bear! Anyway, yeah, Tokyo Disney is amazing and that's all.
The SETGO Guys Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 http://themeparkreview.com/parks/pimages/Tokyo_Disneyland/The_Ultimate_TPR_Tokyo_Disneyland_Update/tokyodisneyland_049.jpgThe ride vehicles are VERY different from anything else we've ever seen. Robb, you might find this piece of concept art from Toy Story Mania Interesting. Very simular design. Concept art for Toy Story Midway Mania!
robbalvey Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 ^ Yeah, someone posted that already, and I've seen it before. It still doesn't change what I said, that these ride vehicles are very different. Nothing like them have been used on anything else at any other Disney park that I've seen so far.
