Thunder Dolphin

LaQua  007

I was looking through my photo library last night and I found some photos I took of Thunder Dolphin when I went for a boxing match at Suidobashi… where Tokyo Dome is. You a big fan of roller coasters?

What makes this roller coaster interesting is that it goes through a building! Through a hole in the building.

LaQua is where you go for shopping. Not much there, just your run of the mill department store with a hole on top where a roller coaster runs through. The surrounding area is like a mini amusement park. There’s a ferris wheel, merry-go-round etc etc.

There’s also a little something for JUMP fans.

Also a good place for family and school girls to hang out.

The roller coaster doesn’t only go through a building, it even swings through the ferris wheel.

I found a video on YouTube. Someone recorded their Thunder Dolphin experience. I didn’t know we were allowed to carry video cameras while on the roller coaster. I gotta try it myself sometime too.

I know I have some readers from Korea. Is Rain popular there? He is quite popular with the ladies waiting in line to get tickets for his fan meeting. One thing I don’t get. Is it a fan meeting as in “meeting of fans” or a fan meeting as in “meet the fans session”? I hope it’s the latter though.

There’s a Baseball Cafe where you can get pretty decent food, drinks and in-house entertainment.

Lots of meat on the menu.

Yummy… Reminds me of when I had my Gozilla Steak…. which reminds me of $5 300g steaks in Sydney. There was a time when I could down 1kg… hmmm I should try that again sometime. Gotta start looking for steak houses that serve 1kg steaks. Any recommendations. Btw, here’s a thought, after you’ve eaten 1kg of meat, do you really put on 1kg of weight? ^^.

I might be wrong, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to have the ribs and then go ride Thunder Dolphin. ^^.

    Tokyo Dome was one of my most memorable moments at Tokyo. I didn’t go on the Thunder Dolphin because I did not want to spend 1000yen on the ride >_>. However it was where I tried my first Takoyaki! Liked it and went for seconds.

    You are what you eat. Eat 100kg, gain 100kg!

    No way I can eat something like that, or go on a roller coaster.

    I just realised i hadn’t seen anything from you in my Google Reader for a while Ken so i stopped by …. it’s now apparent you’ve changed your feed …. that’s why. I’ve updated my feedreader and also the Japan_Blogs on twitter feed.

    yeah… i kinda switched over to wordpress right about after the blogger dinner. permalink was useful in sorting out most links, but i didn’t know what to do with feeds. i figured people would just drop by once in a while. ^^.

    My first date with my boyfriend was at Tokyo Dome city!
    I dragged him on the Thunder Dolphin with me,
    he was terrified.
    The view from the top is fantastic,
    if you’re brave enough to open your eyes!

    The video seems much slower and less scary than it really was!
    Also,
    they have a nice “Water Symphony” at night.
    It certainly is a fantastic place for a date!
