B&M Pyrenees! B&M

Well I was wondering about the Inverted Coaster by B&M called Pyrenees. I found a couple photos of the ride which can be viewed here. http://www.parque-net.com/atr/page_1020217224946.html But my question is has anyone here rode it? I know its a custom design but whats the layout like? Is it anygood? But let me say that the helix around the Verticle Loop looks Hella Good! Also exactly what country is this ride located? Thanx!

Only thing I could think of is that the Japanese LOVE America culture.

A lot of signs in Japan are in English. It's kind of surprising. Doesn't make getting around or being there much easier though!

It's think it's because Japanese use characters to represent certain things, such as a tree or a car. But when it comes to proper nouns, making a character for every single name is impractical, so those nouns are spelled out, and in this case, english. When written Japanese is so hard to master, having a secondary language to bridge the gap between the educated and non-educated makes sense, especially when you want to advertise to as many people as possible.

I can tell you exactly why. In Japan, there are 3 forms of written language. 3. First is Hiragana, which is an alphabet that is used solely for Japanese based words. This is their primary alphabet. Second is Katakana, which is an alphabet reserved for "foreign" words. Hamburger for example. (Ba-ga-) Lastly, Kanji, which are actually Chinese character sets that describe words or phrases in their entirety. It keeps what's written short and sweet. Very ingenious. In regards to English (Ei-go), they love the sound of English words, and actually intend on using them as much as possible. Because our particular patterns of language differ from virtually any other in the world (usually by putting the subject of the sentence last), sometimes the stuff gets disjointed or out of order. Try T-shirt shopping in Japan for a TON of fun!. Anyways, that's why. English is rhythmic and they like how it sounds. Why not use it?

Well, I came close to riding it during my last day in Japan. Thing is, I had no idea we were even close to the place until I saw a bunch of ads in a bus station.
