Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Are there any decent water parks that anyone knows about in the Tokyo area? I know that Oiso long Beach has 1 or 2 slides but don't think it counts as a water park. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Wheres that picture of ALLLLL those people at a water park in Tokyo? It was on here somewhere I think. Scary it was. Link to post Share on other sites

SirJibAlot 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 it's about 30 min by train from Shinjuku station. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Oiso long beach only has two slides. It has a pretty nice 300 long pool with a current running anticlockwise around it. The lifeguards shout at you if you go against the current, even if there is a typhoon and you are the only people in the pool! It also has a wave pool (more like ripples), one deep and one shallow 25m outdoor, an indoor 50m, an indoor 25m, 2 kids outdoor pools, an outdoor jacuzzi (very crowded - made me laugh when I saw it) and a diving pool. Oiso is 5500 a day but if you go into the hotel and buy a ticket at the guest info desk they think you are staying at the hotel. Then it only costs 2700. Sneaky! I posted that pic Muica is talking about. It was Tokyo Summerland. I'll try to find it. Here it is. Link to post Share on other sites

spook 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 i wonder how long the line to the toilet is... or if everyone just pees in the water Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 although dubai looks like hell on earth to me, some friendswent there en-route to europe and had a good time. they hit this water park http://www.wildwadi.com/ supposedly some of the rides blast you uphill, then you slide down, so no walking required. the flowrider was pretty overated though - just a current rushing around, and kinda lame Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 you know, only 10% of those people peed in there. Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 oh, and if ski hills ever get like that, i'm quitting. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I believe they used to be like that about 15 years ago, Oyuki. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Still if you go in Obon, it'd probably be the same. I don't understand why people even go to places when they know it will be like that. Maybe lining up is the attraction. I'd be scared that I'd lose my kids! Link to post Share on other sites

SirJibAlot 0 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 The ski hills were like that in 99, the first year I skiied in Japan - it was elbo to elbo and lift lines for days. It think I got a total of 5 runs in. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Poor little tyke. Babies are so utterly helpless. It cuts me when people abuse them. A water park is absolutely the worst place to loose a child. What on Earth was she doing? Texting I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
