    It’s the most terrifying rides I’ve ever been in. Absolutely scary. The beginning is called skydive because you feel like your skydiving. Some parts you are going forward and some parts you go bakwards. It’s a crazy but fun experience

    My first rollercoaster. What a bad pick for a first timer! The first drop made me almost pass out. But hey at least I did it once I guess.

      My first rollercoaster in modern times was Steel Dragon 2000. That was also baptism by fire!

    • @CoasterHorizons
      @CoasterHorizons 3 года назад

      it's not X2, but it's the same model. X2 was made by Arrow Dynamics, a manufacturer who dominated the industry in the 70s and 80s with their innovative rides. Arrow went bankrupt after X2, and S&S Sansei came to an agreement with the now defunct arrow, allowing them to recreate their models. Eejanaika was made by S&S and is much larger than X2. The other 4D coaster is in China.

Would love to capture all the beautiful images of Japan by pictures and vids as well. May I ask what camera you have been using throughout your journey?

A couple of shots were done on a GoPro bust mostly a split between the Panasonic and iPhone.

    What an amazing few years you've had, doesn't look like you wasted a moment. I love how you've mixed the classic and refined elements of Japan with such vibrant, happy fun! (I'm in the early stages of planning our honeymoon to Japan so this was a very timely video to see!) Can I ask about the transparent streamers with text on them, shown here? ruclips.net/video/53Fzi2sy8V4/видео.html#t=32 What do they say, and where are they? Thank you for sharing your experiences, I hope you enjoy many more :)

    • @thomassimmons4413
      @thomassimmons4413 10 лет назад

      yeah i've had a good few years here. actually all of these videos were taken in 2014 alone! i've been lucky enough to have many more great experiences which i couldn't fit into the video here. look out for more videos in the future though. and you link doesn't work but i think i know the exact part you're talking about. that is in the echigo-yuzawa area in niigata prefecture. they have an art festival there every 3 years but in the off years (which 2014 was) there are some permanent installations like this one. i can't translate them exactly but they are japanese poems. you can find out more about the festival here: www.echigo-tsumari.jp/eng/

      I sometimes wonder what it would be like studying in a Japanese uni. May I ask how your finding it? Are you actually studying IN Japanese? If so, what level is your Japanese at? What kind of problems do you face? If you do reply I'd be very grateful ^.^

    • @Nayakepu
      @Nayakepu 10 лет назад

      oh I'm not studying in japan lol I took a japanese class at my uni and didn't even make it through the semester. I'm linguistically retarded to start with and I would've done worse on the second midterm than I did on the first (and I did pretty bad....like 36% bad lol). I know Tokyo University has a program that is taught in english but for university there. it would probably be better to be pretty damn fluent in japanese. you can always check the various websites if you can find one in english

    • @darkcatalyst95
      @darkcatalyst95 10 лет назад

      Nayakepu Thank you for the reply! Oh I see haha. Well I hope you find success/happiness in whatever you pursue. Just because the uni course didn't work out for you, don't let that stop you from learning Japanese if your heart's in it. There are plenty of good (and free) resources nowadays for self studiers.
