Hilltopper39 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Are those PTC trains with an Intamin style lap bar? Looks like a pretty comfy set up really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Are those PTC trains with an Intamin style lap bar? Looks like a pretty comfy set up really. Nope! They are Intamin trains that just happen to look a lot like PTC trains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Oh cool, I never realized Intamin made "that kind" of wooden coaster trains. More importantly why haven't more parks converted old busted PTC trains over to these !?!? Awesome updates so far by the way. One of these I'll get to Japan.

Barge84 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Great update! Hungover Steve is my favorite (he failed to mention that in his Facebook updates). The pissed off owl is pretty funny as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronWolfman Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 What exactly was wrong with Elf being a little bit bumpy? You made it sound like a bad thing, even though I prefer my wooden coasters bumpy and rough, not smooth, because roughness adds to the "out of control" experience.

jray21 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Nice update! Looks like a fun little park. I really miss the bullet trains! They have some of the best sandwiches in the world on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made it sound like a bad thing, even though I prefer my wooden coasters bumpy and rough, not smooth, because roughness adds to the "out of control" experience. Sorry, but there is a difference between a rough woodie and one that is a little bumpy. If you think that a rough coaster is what a woodie is supposed to feel like, you can HAVE the rough woodies. I'll take the ones that are fast, fun, out of control, airtime filled, but I can ride over and over again. --Robb "I don't ride roller coasters to get a headache."

australianalex Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Love the addition of vines to this update. Owl/10 Suppose petting zoos are pretty different in Japan. I'm a big fan of rodents of unusual size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julioot Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Love the updates! How is it that most parks look to be deserted on your Asian trips? Is it because you try to plan the trips on slow days, or are the parks really that empty all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
