Dont' think I'll be heading over to Tokyo any time soon. I can only imagine the kind of lines they have! :) Couple hundred thou in line at a time maybe? Did they build the coaster over and around houses? How do they have room over there for an amusement park with all those damn people? Curious.

It is not in Tokoyo but in Taiwan
I saw the photos. The park is located on top of a mountain, with not much else around. There is plenty of room for an amusement park in Taiwan. It is not downtown Hong Kong.
Wow. I had always dreamed of this type of roller coaster, and had once drawn a crude sketch of it a few years. I wish that they'd build one in the US so I could ride it.;-)

Hong Kong isn't on Taiwan. Hong Kong is on mainland China. Taiwan is the little island off of the mainland.
I know Hong Kong is not in Taiwan, I was just using it as a comparison between one area of Aisa and another.
