Hhappy Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) With the (coaster) year 2015 coming to an end (I think) for me I guess I should try to do another trip report. This summer I had the chance to get back to Japan. A country I was in awe with during my first visit. Was a bit worried about going back, but I had an awesome time (with awesome people) This visit was a much needed break from day to day stuff. Anyway, let's try something new. Usually I start with the first day and just keep on posting.. This time i'll do a selection of images to give you an idea of what else to expect. Maybe it helps.. maybe it doesn't. Feel free to comment as it might help with the update frequency Hope you enjoy.

cfc Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The "green lightning" effect on DisneySea's Tower of Terror is even cooler than I what I remember from past trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Those are very nice looking trains. Surf Coaster is one of Togo's best rides, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Mmmmm Japan... And yes, Surf Rider was pretty awesome now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barge84 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Nice pictures, as always, Hanno! Surf Rider was probably the most surprisingly fun ride on the trip for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It's surprising how good some of the Togo coasters are in Japan, compared to the ones we have in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barge84 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 ^I actually really liked almost all of the Jet Coasters. Except for Gao at Greenland. That was pretty terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 ^I actually really liked almost all of the Jet Coasters. Except for Gao at Greenland. That was pretty terrible. And they had just 'fixed' Gao and even replaced giant track sections! Imagine what it used to be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even imagine the old version. At least the dino driving the train was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfoot12 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It's surprising how good some of the Togo coasters are in Japan, compared to the ones we have in the U.S. Well, only one left as far as that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhappy Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks for the replies so far folks. Really appreciate it. Anyway, after flying into Tokyo.. dealing with jetlag for a day and then taking a ride on the awesome Japanese high speed trains it was time to ride some coasters. Still had a couple of rides I missed out on last time around so it's always nice to go back and get a second chance. The rain was coming in during the day (as forecasted) so I did not take that many pictures. Enjoy Made it to Space World big wheel lifthill fancy looking trains lot's of yellow track/mess going up airtime hill ready to launch? gogogo going down airtime another launch going down and then there is this green ride old skool train love the signs and then there was the rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
