It's actually exactly BOTH of these!

Amazing park! I loved how everything looks brand new, not only the newer rides like Acrobat, but also the older rides like Corkscrew, Looping Star and Shuttle Loop. And indeed, White Cyclone must be the most beautiful woodie. So clean! Glad you had a good time.

Great trip report! I love 1st generation Intamin drop towers, so clunky and scary with a great drop! I really wish they would develop a newer version of them that are taller and have a funky element or two after the drop.
Does Steel Dragon 2000 have a max height limit? I heard it was 6 feet tall?
Six Flags Parks seem to have finally realized this. HITP at GADV was awesome, and Carowinds is coming on board with Winterfest in November. The cold weather coaster policy at GADV just needs to get adopted at other parks.

Explain to me again why we can't have more parks open in America during the winter?

Yes. Since it wasn't that busy and it was cold out, they would fill the middle of the trains with water dummies so that people could fill the front and the back and still be able to keep the coasters open!

While it's pretty funny to see on a B&M flyer, Dorney actually does this quite a bit on Stinger when it's cold out since the park never has lines.

Nagashima Spa Land looks like a seriously impressive park. That coaster collection looks top notch and the whole place looks so clean!

I was on the fence about hitting this park on our March Japan trip, but your TRs (this and previous ones) pushed me to book three nights in Nagoya. Can't wait. Seeing those trains on Steel Dragon is bizarre but cool.

A couple of things.
White Cyclone is rough, but not unrideable. Just not that pleasant.
As for the park being clean, that's ALL of the parks in Japan. You can't even find a trash can but they're all so clean!!!!
