Coasting In Japan 2024 - Part 11

[@mmocken]

Enjoyed this whole series! Thank you

[@SeanFlaharty]

You are very welcome. There are still eight parts left so plenty of fun times ahead.

@@SeanFlaharty you have inspired me to plan a mid May trip, but I’d likely fly to Nagoya and fly out Tokyo and keep it an 8 day trip.

[@SeanFlaharty]

@@mmocken That is just amazing to me. Thanks for sharing. Flying into places like Nagoya or Osaka will probably be easier than Tokyo. I have never been to Japan in May. Only in September, June and July. I hope it's much cooler for you in May.

7:46 Stellar shot keeping it centered perfectly in frame! Yay butter beer!🍺 Yay not passing out from heat exhaustion/dehydration!

[@SeanFlaharty]

That shot might be my favorite part I recorded in this series. It was one of the good things that came from that day.

You are welcome, Mark.

Great Series. I watch every week. Flying Dinosaur looks like it would have taken everything out of me and id be ready to go home early as well. B&M snapped with that thing.

[@SeanFlaharty]

Thank you! I love positive gs but Flying Dino is in a class by itself. I would love to ride it a few times per visit but I think I just need to go on a cooler day. I believe the original location for this coaster was the same plot of land that VelociCoaster operates now at Islands of Adventure.

I always wanted to visit there for every ride.

Good evening Sean. What happened to you and Marty when you were trying to get into Universal Studios? Did they take forever to let you in? So far this has been was another fantastic part of this CIJ 2024 series. Be back in a few~ Rob/Boston

The entry was a nightmare. First off, there weren't enough places for people to line up and get their tickets scanned. We got in the back of one line, only to be moved the back of another line once we got up to the metal detectors. Once we got through the second line, we were moved once again to the back of another, longer line. It took us over a half hour just to get inside the park, from the front gates. It didn't set the mood all that great for us once we got there. Then, the heat was dangerous. After spending a lot of time in the outside portions of the lines for Jaws and Hollywood Dream, it was clear our day wasn't going great so we left. I love that park but it's not a park I would ever return to on a hot busy day.

[@Paneeks1960]

@@SeanFlaharty Thank you for the detailed answer to my question Sean. Sounds like the park was overly crowded. Also sounds like it gets really hot there. That would have definitely put a damper in my day too~

Marty is a handsome man and he also has a nice smile.
