Not just Joy, but Joy Joy, and 24 hours a day of it, too. Clearly, there is a huge Joy surplus in Japan.
I do not know what goes on in this facility, but I am compelled to return and find out some day.
After dinner, many continued on for some late night revelry, which included the consumption of more alcohol. And horse meat. In hindsight, I'm sorry I missed the chance to eat some Trigger, but I no longer have the stamina of my college years, so I clocked out for the evening.
This famous portal always gets me excited, especially when there's a big roller coaster right through it.
How many times have you seen a photo that looks almost exactly like this one? Eleventy-thirteen bazillion times? I tried to snap it so that Japan was visible, but most of it is hiding behind the "S."
As soon as we arrived that morning, we were ushered into a private meeting room in the executive offices and given a very cool presentation on the history of the park.
This gentleman spoke at length about all the changes at the park since it first opened in 2001, which included a refreshingly sincere catalog of problematic issues and subsequent corrections made. (Just one example: finding the right marketing tone and scary-for-teens/fun-for-families balance for their seasonal Halloween events took some adjusting over a couple of years.)
But successes have far outweighed the missteps and this park – already one of the world's most popular – will no doubt become even more popular when they open their own Wizarding World next year.
