Japanase Age Restrictions for Coasters

I agree it's extremely unfair. I'm 48, and have no health problems that would prevent me from riding a coaster. In fact, I plan to spend the first year of my retirement traveling and riding coasters! Reminds me of Logan's Run.

I'd rather die living than live like I'm dead

Obviously age discrimination is alive and well in Japan. Hard to believe that I'm too old to ride rollercoasters.

No, not Dana;), there was a much older Japanese fellow riding the trains with the younger folk.

Age discrimination? They probably don't feel that way about it.

Doesn't it seem as though morons always have the caps lock on?

...well, Mark, if I read your last post right, it sounds like you need to re-evaluate that signature... :)

45?!??!?!?!??! That's insane!!!!! I surely hope they don't start implementing that rule over here!!!

That rule didn't apply to my father...

TOGO!

Did they ask him, or was it not actively enforced for him? (The lady in the ACE article had some tough times getting on some rides she said)

No problems at all, just like getting on any American coaster. And no offense to him, but he doesn't look under 45 years old. ;) Well, I guess he doesn't look like he's over 100 either. :)

TOGO!

If you guys go to dodonpa.net there is an awesome quicktime video of it. I just finished watching it. Just go to the spot where it shows quicktime then above it there is a button for it it i Mpeg I think.
