    Are We At the End of the Third Golden Age?

    I think marketing comes into this - some parks have realized they can get a decent impact from just branding or themeing something in the right way, and cut costs on the ride hardware. So there's less of a push for something groundbreaking.

    Lightwater Valley - Future?

    Yeah... it does seem to be going downhill. Although i've heard from locals that the park can be fairly busy these days. So maybe they're just stripping it back more and more to see what the bare minimum is. Depressing though when you think back to what the park once was and how much is just...

    Thoughts on Hyde Park Winter Wonderland?

    I went to Wintertraum in late November a couple years ago and it was lovely. Short queues for everything and very atmospheric and lovely.

    First visit to Nagashima Spa Land - 2nd December 2024

    Yeah I will also agree the park is visually really nice, nice landscaping, nice views. What was your favourite ride Boba?

    First visit to Nagashima Spa Land - 2nd December 2024

    So I was in Japan mainly for Tokyo Disney and Universal, but ended up swinging by Nagashima Spa Land, Cosmo World and Fuji Q. I'd never been to Nagashima Spa Land before, and was excited mostly about Steel Dragon 2000. Firstly, getting there sucks in my opinion. Give yourself plenty of time if...

    Fuji-Q | Zokkon | Intamin Multi-Launch Motorbike | 2023

    Visited Fuji Q again last week for the first time since 2017. Dodonpa was very depressing to see being cut up, the whole station building is gone, most of the launch has gone and it's mostly the loop and a bit of the turnaround left. Eejainaika is as insane as always, took my breath away every...

    Do-Dodonpa closed

    I visited Fuji Q last week. Last went in 2017 and rode Do-Dodonpa with its new loop back then. I didn't realise but the park basically built Zokkon over the old park entranceway, and they've moved and updated a lot of the park as a whole. They were actively cutting up dodonpa's launch track and...

    Roller Coaster Speciality store in Nagoya, Japan.

    I visited this recently. The guy is a complete legend and collects EVERYTHING rollercoaster related. It's a treasure trove of past and present rides, and he's been everywhere. Lovely chap and would recommend any enthusiasts visiting Nagashima Spa Land to make a stop in Osu, Nagoya and visit...

    Major Expansion Announced for Tokyo DisneySea

    I agree about DisneySea after visiting again this week. But I disagree about universal. Only needed Express for the Nintendo stuff. The rest of the rides often had a 20 - 40 min queue. That's this time of year of course.

    Major Expansion Announced for Tokyo DisneySea

    Thank you so much, I'm visiting tomorrow! I didn't find the app stuff too bad at TDL the other day, the app is really badly designed but once figured out it was okay and managed to get on Beauty and the Beast a couple of times. We have another full day at TDS as well so if I miss anything I...

    Major Expansion Announced for Tokyo DisneySea

    I'm visiting Tokyo Disney Resort later this month, any tips for getting into Fantasy Springs? How do people rank the rides in case I have to choose 1 or 2 to ride?

    Universal Studios Japan | Mine-Cart Madness | "Boom Coaster" {Rumour} | 2024

    Brilliant, 3 days after I leave Japan 😂

    Universal Studios Japan | Mine-Cart Madness | "Boom Coaster" {Rumour} | 2024

    Thanks for this! Can't wait to be thoroughly disappointed when they announce an opening after I've left 😂

    Universal Studios Japan | Mine-Cart Madness | "Boom Coaster" {Rumour} | 2024

    It's really frustrating - i'm going in December and their site still says it's opening in 2024. Unprofessional.
