      Yeah we thought it was weird. Maybe we misunderstood the guy (cause he didn’t speak English) but our takeaway from our exchange was we couldn’t ride the slide down. Maybe on a normal day we could but on the day we went it wasn’t open. Perhaps cause of the impending rain?

    You should visit Beppu Kijima Kogen Amusement Park next time! It is at this spa town in Southern Japan called Beppu and it has Japan's largest wooden roller coaster still operating, Jupiter (the other is at an amusement park in Osaka). There's also a Skycoaster, a unique ferris wheel where you seat outwards in some OTSRs and some other interesting roller coasters besides Jupiter. Check the place out next time you go to Japan (shame Space World at Fukuoka closed permanently in 2017 before you had the chance to visit Japan for the first time, they had some interesting roller coasters like Venus GP).

    • @CoasterStudios

    Did you try the 3D maze? I thought that was quite a fun activity with some weird tricks to it.

    This is my favorite park in Kyushu, but it is so damn weird! Too bad you got rained out, there really are a lot of fun things at Greenland though nothing makes any sense. It really gives the vibe that it should feel be haunted or a bit creepier, but it's just charming enough to be fun.
    I wish that you could have had a chance to check out the double feature theater by Grampus (I think?). The '4D' Crimson Butterfly film is okay, but the Dracula experience on the other half is great, even though it is audio only. You don't even have to understand what's being said, it's just so creepy! The Mission Control Riddle House was also pretty great, though it was very weird and we were lucky to have a friend in our group who understood Japanese idioms to get us past the challenges, since google translate wasn't cutting it.
    The kiddie haunted hospital was apparently once far scarier, but it got revamped into what you experienced with only a few of the original elements in the background. The haunted train next door is now the scariest at the park, though I can't give a full commentary since I took off my headphones halfway through and closed my eyes.
    Overall, a very weird, oddly charming, slightly over-priced park. At least you went there once!
