robbalvey Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 Once again, another great update where the Alveys babysit little Quaker. Did you get any photos of that one half pipe, or was there not enough time? Since it wasn't open, we didn't even bother to go check it out. We opted for more time at Disney and a trip to Joypolis instead. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 ^^^We actually didn't go there or to Hanayashiki cause we were having so much fun at Disney...there's always next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Great TR guys! I'm glad you had fun at Space World. I went there back in 2003 and quite frankly, I was blown away. The park wasn't very crowded but it seemed spotless. It was very, very clean. Titan was a nice surprise and was more powerful than I thought it would be. Venus was a little painful but that loop blew me away. Talk about G's! I don't know if you talked about it in the TR but did you do their log flume? That thing was so impressive. It had a mid-ride helix! It was very fun. Great site I'm glad to now be posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 It was a bit cold and the people getting off of it looked somewhat wet!!! We saw it though and it was great looking! Some people would consider it a credit in that part where it roles down a helix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisneySeaJunkie Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Howdy, I'm an American permanently trapped in Japan (except for this second I've visiting home in Atlanta) and found your site while Googling Japanese theme parks. I totally dug your Nasu Highland pictures, which my friends and I dubbed "Ghettoland" upon out May visit. It's amazing how smoothly the place runs even when no one's there. Did you guys hit the haunted house dark ride at the park? It was closed when I was there, but it has a good rep and I'd love to see some photos if you have any. And how can you go without posting a shot of "Hell Ship?" I'm sure the "River Adventure" was closed in the snow, but it's pretty lame and does not have an acceptable level of wetness. Next time you make it out there, you'll have to take a ride on the SLC. It's a little more painful than the other coasters (well, except for maybe "Panic Drive") but it's got good airtime. All aboard the "Hell Ship!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 We still have a lot of great pictures to put up when we do our 'full' update! Nasu was a really cool park...I couldn't quite figure out what to make of the place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 ^LOL! That's true...it was still cold...but at least their log flume wasn't frozen over! That's cool about the Intamin Rocket, I'll be curious to see what the layout is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2pids2 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 its been about five years since I was in Hong Kong at Ocean Park. Too bad the Mine Train coaster was closed when I went, but you can still get amazing views of the city. The Dragon was pretty bad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I don't think Intamin will ever build another accelerator with lap bars only. I mean, Rita has them, and really doesn't need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the current plan, but don't be surprised if "next month" ends up being March 31st! --Robb "We've been quite busy with work and other stuff lately" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruffy Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Do you when the Castle Mystery Tour video will posted? I would like to see it since it is closing. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I think we have posted before that it will most likely not be posted, but will be on the DVD. It was very dark and therefore will not come out good on the computer downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexy No Jutsu Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Am I crazy, or were those lap bars on splash mountain? That's actually really cool. Can anyone confirm? Also, of course you had to play Taiko before leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOOOLkid Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 yeah, there're lapbars on TDL's Splash mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
