The Official TPR Video Thread!

[XYZ]

Great video. I always enjoy these really bizarre videos that TPR does. Heck, I didn't even know this coaster existed before I watched this video.

[Aceattack52]

Hmm, lift hill or walking... lift hill or walking. I think walking would have been faster, but then look at the fun that would be missed.

After a while there is no fun in a 5+ minute lift hill. Especially one going that slowly.

^I think she was just being sarcastic.

Alpine Coasters are great! They should be built more often all around the globe!

It looks like there was another side that wasn't operating. I guess that credit is for a future TPR visit. This looks like a cool way to get up to the Great Wall, although painfully slow. And the guy wearing the Granmen hat did a good job safely navigating you down.

Oh Great Wall of China? I thought you said Good Will Hunting...... Sorry.

First of all, there was a long, long walk up to the entrance near this part of The Wall, from where the bus parked. And honestly, after it was all done, all of us I am pretty sure, much preferred the way we went up there, on the alpine 'lift' coaster. There were still tons of walking to do, with a lot of steps, and all along the wall at the section we were closest to. And after that, everybody seemed pretty 'done' and really looking forward to just slow-coasting back down from it. (And the whole ride was included in our tour, too. Thanks Robb and Elissa!)

 

And look what was waiting for us at the re-board station...

Yum. But no can touch.

while the theming within the mountain leaves a *lot* to be desired, it actually does appear to be faster than the real Matterhorn ride at Disney.

 

was it actually faster? or is it just coming across that way?

 

and it warms my heart a bit to see the skyride still operating out of the mountain

[Vtafro]

Im just wondering how it compares to the real deal, speed, roughness etc; since i haven't ridden either

[Nrthwnd]

I got a bit of dizziness, watching it go round and round and round and... ouch.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Looks like a painful ride in a knock-off Disneyland

 

Matterhorn broke down right before I got to ride it so it's hard to compare both of them judging from the videos. This one seems a bit faster and rougher though...

[JeromyL]

That pigeon was taking target practice on the riders....

[FreeFaller]

The Japanese copy everything So weird!

[arby]

I haven't been on either but this one sure looks uncomfortable.

[Laimis]

Random Fish!

[eddie200330]

It has a fish...Ok. A bird at the top of the lift....Ok. As for being a knock-off..sure looks more comfortable than the rest of the knock-off Chinese coasters.

it's missing a corkscrew, that's why!

Oh yeah.....LOL

[Woodie Warrior]

The ride itself doesn't look bad but just very boring. I don't know if it was just the video, but at some points it looked like if you put your hands out you would've touched the mountain.

[simaticable]

The ride does seem interesting. Of course, where's the Yeti?

[cmullin]

Actually looks like fun, though the theme has a LOT of room for improvement.

[IronWolfman]

Very interesting. Surprised at how much it blatantly ripped of Matterhorn, but from what I heard Nara Dreamland was trying to be Japanese Disneyland in the same way Nagashima Spa Land tries to be Japanese Cedar Point. Aska truly didn't belong in a place like that, but oh well.
