la2lvtom Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 DId Mount Prometheus exist before the park was built? I've heard there are no construction photos of it because it is a REAL MOUNTAIN (made of real rock). I believe the city of Chiba (including TDR) is actually built on land fill (that is why during the earthquake water was seaping up through the ground because the land fill was sifting downwards and compacting forcing the moisture in the dirt upwards, at least that is what was explained on several Discovery channel shows about the earthquake) so I don't know if the mountain could have already been there, but it would be interesting if that were the case.
aimster Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) SO. LOVING. THIS. REPORT. Seriously. If you can't make it out there, this is the next best thing... BAR NONE. And OMG I just died seeing all those cute little Duffy badges! I love me some Duffy (and Shellie May)! Edited July 13, 2011 by aimster
805Andrew Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 ^Ha! I bet you all can guess which team I'll be routing for! Oh wait, soccer? Women's soccer? Forget it, no one cares anyway! That what I figured, but I had to mention it because its Japan vs USA
larrygator Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) In regards to the various popcorn flavours, have you tried to combine the black pepper with the sea salt for salt and pepper popcorn, or are the flavours in different parks? This sort of came up in discussion during our visit. Both with the popcorn and the flavours of Shaka Shaka Chicken. We decided that it would be blasphemous to mess with something that was already perfect! I mixed the Lemon and the Black Pepper Shaka Shaka at the airport when leaving Tokyo, and it was even better!

robbalvey Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 ^ You are so lucky that your plane didn't crash! Mixing is BAD KARMA!!!

I take it you missed Chris' sarcasm there.
WFChris Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 R&E, you really out-do yourselves every year with better and better PTR's! I am really considering my first trip out of the country to be a TPR trip!
QueerRudie Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 OK- I'd not seen that monorail car before- but that is FREAKING AMAZING. You'd spend hours trying to figure out how many Hidden Mickeys there were! BTW: When do we get StarPort porn???
paulie_oz Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Hooley dooley!!! I haven't been to Tokyo Disneyland since the 90s... This is FORCING me to plan a visit there soon!
sspaz1000 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Ok, new goal in life. Go to Japan, and go to the Disney Parks. Amazing updates. I'm only a few pages in, because I got behind, but what I've looked at so far looks fantastic.

Erik Johnson Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 ^Ha! I bet you all can guess which team I'll be routing for! Oh wait, soccer? Women's soccer? Forget it, no one cares anyway! Well at least the top player on the Women's soccer team is a former Gator.
jray21 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Yet another incredible update with amazing pictures! I really miss Disney Sea, especially the Gyoza Buns! They are so incredibly good!
OldJJman Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Why must this awesomeness be so far away....... So it can't be messed up by Americans? (actually, more of a statement than a question, but you get the point!)

I take it you missed Chris' sarcasm there. So that explains it.....Miracles. .... 20 dollars will be paypaled to the first person that can find me actual contruction photos of the mountain..... .. REALLY.. The bounty has now been raised to 30 dollars USD (or I can pay you in somalian pirate dollars if that is your thing) .. According to wikipedia and my mom, I doubt anyone can prove to me with photographic evidence that mount prometheus isn't really an actual mountain..
Migs310 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 So I viewed the latest update in work this morning and I was seriously laughing my ass off. I got so much weird looks from my co-workers so I showed them the captions and pictures, they just didn't get it.
kidcoaster 2 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Great update! Looking forward to the day (Which I doubt will actually happen) that I can make it to japan.
