Toshimaen and Tokyo Disney Land

Well Monday i got the oppurtunity to travel to the north side of tokyo to go to a small Theme park called TOshimaen.

Theres nothing to special here, they have a Corkscrew coaster, and Shuttle looper, and then an interesting coaster that has logged shapped cars and it acts like a Hyper would, but its really short like 60ft or so, its still cool becouse you get to see all the park, and go threw a tunnel. Go figure, They also have 2 HUGE pirate ships, tehy can each hold 120 people, I think tehres another park that has a slightly larger one, but thats still pretty big. That was very interesting to ride, and would have been fun had the bar not been holding me tightly in my seat so I couldnt move....

I also learned this: Japanese can not oppurate a Top Spin ride, they maybe flipped us 2 times, and that was becouse the seats where locked, they basically toss you forwward and backward....


Then Yesterday I went to Tokyo Disney Land, Ill be going to Sea in a few weeks...

Every thing was bassically the same, so I wont describe anything really. I will let you know they are Building a BUzz Lightyear Ride if you didnt know that, They have the wall up and the picture of Buz on it.

The hallowween decorations are up and its really fun to hear the Japanese try and say "Trick Or Treat" for candy.

The only ride I will describe was Pooh`s Honney Hunt. This ride is the coolest feat I have seen, I asume you all know that this ride is Trackless, and that means that you have BIg Crazy rooms that multiple Honey Pots are flying around in. You go it sets of 3 honey pots, and make your way threw the building, Each pot moves on its own in your group of 3 and goes its seperate way, but you all leave the room togeather. there where 2 really neat rooms, one was one where Tiger bounces in on the screen and then he bounces and you bounce with him, your pots move up and down and the screen does too, its a good allusion, adn tehn theres a big room were theres 2 sets of teh 3 cars spinning around and then one car of "whoozels" That comes and spinns aron diwht you.
This Ride is a very unique attraction, and If this is the direction rides are going of this nature, I can`t wait for a few years from now.

Happy Riding!
