veronica 2 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I will be in Tokyo tomorrow (a-Ha concert!) and it's right next to Tokyo Dome and that big scary roller coaster called Thunder Dolphin. Anyone here been on it. Looks huge! Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The one at Korakuen? Lots of fun. Try the Tower Hacker (?) as well. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 It is big. Scary. Fun. Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites
happyhappy 0 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 It's brilliant. Make sure you ride evening time too! Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Have a good time v. It's great fun. Bigger than the Big One in Blackpool, and that's big.... doesn't have that first twise on the first drop like the Big One. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 it could be better than the concert. Link to post Share on other sites
BarbadosBob 0 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thought it was great, easily the biggest I have been on. Tower Hacker was pretty scary too. Have a good time! Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 On my way now thanks for the comments! Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Had a wonderful day in Tokyo. Thunder Dolphin was conquered 7 times! Great ride, very smooth, more really exciting then scary for me. A-ha were great too. Morton is still unreasonably sexy for a 50 year old (no offence meant to 50 years olds in general!) Perhaps it's that fantastic voice he has. Very tired this morning though. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Sounds great veronica, I wish I could have gone - just too far though. Glad you enjoyed it. Link to post Share on other sites

veronica 2 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 I would have gone on more if I had more time. Why does riding a roller coaster make you tired? Been really tired all day. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 you actually tense the muscles as you go round. It's very tiring on the groin too. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Great coaster. As with all coasters best at the very front or the very back. That first drop is impressive - when you're at the front looking almost straight down. Ace. Whiplash one the back is great too. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Yes we went on both the front and back. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 7 times, wow you really went for it. Very smooth ride though isn't it. Might have a go myself again soon. Adrenalin as well will contibute to getting tired. As well as all that walking round to get off and on the thing. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Would like to ride that. No big coasters near where I live. We do have skijo though Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Did well to make that video riding the thing! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 looks a lot like Altom Towers Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 You're kidding right? Alton Towers, the theme park in the middle of nowhere in Staffordshire that has serious height restrictions on what it can make due to the trees and natural surroundings? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 no, Alton Towers has no buildings around it like that. But we were stuck upside down for 30 mins while the monkeys tried to fix it. Alton Towers remains the number 1 roller coaster experience. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I seriously think you are out of date there thursday. Or just drunk and being silly. Alton Towers has Nemesis which is great, Air which is not, 'Rita' which is seriously short and Oblivion which is one drop and all of them now getting on. Hardly the number 1 coaster experience in the world! They're more focussed on families now as they simply can't get permission to make the mega coaster they want/wanted to.
