Theme park blues
I think the universe is trying to tell me not to go on any more roller coasters. Or to a new park.
Case in point:
1) Last summer I’d planned on going to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom near SF. Sadly, they closed for the season the week I’d arrived in town.
2) The coasters weren’t running when Jody and I went to Tokyo Dome (LaQua) in February. Same when we went to Dam Sen Park in Saigon.
3) I was rained out of Happy Valley Shanghai twice. Well, I could have gone, but the coasters weren’t running.
4) Nagashima Spaland, outside of Nagoya, was going to cost me about 150$ after train tickets. I did manage to find a bus tour for about 70, but I had to book it 3 days in advance, and the one day I could have gone it was raining. So much for the “Cedar Point of Japan”.
5) I looked into the Osaka area parks mentioned on one of the roller coaster sites. 4 had closed down, and the others only had 1 or 2 coasters, and they were they kiddie/spinny/wildmouse kind.
*Sigh*. I’m really hoping I make it to Fuji-Q tomorrow.
