Togo in Japan: 💪😂
Togo in America: 🤏😧
Nathan W. You probably don’t have the emoji then
Imagine Disney Sea mixted with Phantasialand. That would be unbelievable.
And all of that theming mixed with the cedar point's coaster line up!
And the Busch gardens parks
@@marcgarcia7768 CP-Coasters perfectly themed for it. Oh myyy... I would melt - wanting to be there every weekend... live there^^"
Too good to be true
Its called port aventura
Taylor is all about the thrill rides and he consistently rates parks without thrill rides much lower. The fact that despite this Tokyo DisneySea is still his number one pick shows you how mind-blowingly great that park must be.
Probably why he ranked joypolis so low, lacks thrill and big attraction rides, but as a day out has some pretty fun stuff to do there. USJ is better on the thrills than DisneSea and I'd probably rank USJ 1st and DisneySea 2nd.
Im at number 11 then i read your comment
preach brother
czcams.com/video/RY4vrxSkRTU/video.html
@@inappreviewssame here, I rank USJ at number 1. Even my kids loves it as well. Hello from Saga, Prefecture
The way I talk, Harry could hire me for Coaster Bot!
Warte, du bist Deutscher? :D
RandomCZcamsr 123 ja wieso? :D
Janek kinda sounds like COASTER BOT without his accent
I’ll take that
@Janek Ge 👌🏻
Secret exposed: Janek is Harry doing a different accent.
Could you do a Winjas review. I’d love to hear your thoughts on that unique experience.
He talked about winjas quite a lot in his phantasialand review, but a separate review would be cool
I love those rides. Unfortunately one was closed when I visited but the other was so cool
@@zackwelch3038 yeah the vertical lifts are often causing problems
I agree
Disney Sea theming blew my mind! I really felt like I was in Italy at one point. Then at night it takes on a whole new character.
Even if you don't like rides, this is the place to go to.
I am a Taiwanese. Fuji Q is the one that make me a roller coaster enthusiast and finds this channel.
And that's a wrap on the Japan coaster tour.
Excellent work, I really enjoyed all the videos you had from this trip over the months :)
So glad you enjoyed it!
I went to Japan 3 years ago and visited about a third of these parks. Really liked your rankings especially the top two! Fuji-Q is fantastic even though the ride operations can be slow sometimes. Tokyo Sea is by far the most fantastic, well themed and immersive parks I’ve been to and takes my top spot as well!
Surprised DisneySea hasn’t made the golden ticket awards over Europa Park
Or at least won their “most beautiful park” award. But the GTAs seem so incredibly ossified. I want to become a voter just to introduce a little more reality to the list!
Thank you so much for making videos about my country!
I’m glad to see Japanese parks from another perspective.
Good to know that your top 3 are parks that I've had my eyes on for a while now. I really want to visit those parks when I go to Japan.
I went to Japan once but never went to the theme parks. However we did get to experience some of the basic things.
-Ryokans (hotels with rooms where you sleep on tatami)
-Onsen (public bathing facilities often inside ryokan)
-Temples (lots of historic sites in Japan)
-and convenience stores (you can literally eat all your meals in Japan there)
If you haven't experienced these basic tourist attractions I would highly recommend it.
Nice list! Here is my rankings based on the parks I visited
1. Tokyo Disney resort
I'm lumping Disneyland and disneysea together, but mostly here because of disneysea, that park is just like stepping into another world.
2. Universal studios Japan
The best of all the universal parks. Classic rides along with some new great ones, crowds can get wild but you can still have an amazing time, and flying dinosaur is the cherry on top of the hot fudge sundae.
3. Parque espana
SUPER underrated place, I was mostly just looking forward to pyrenees (which is, by far my favourite b&m invert) but the level of themeing here is insane. It feels like the best of the European parks.
4. Nagashima spaland
Definitely not as much themeing as the top three, but so many great coasters from old classics to state of the art modern rides. Hakugei absolutely lives up to the hype and is my favourite coaster in Japan as well.
5. Fuji q highland
On paper incredible park, and the coaster lineup pushes it up high, eejanaika and do dodonpa being two must rides for any enthusiast. My only issue with the park is you really need fastpass to enjoy it as the operations here are probably the slowest in Japan. From what I heard though it sounds like you went on a great day.
6. Nasu highland
Beautiful park with big boom being just an incredible ride.
7. Yomiuriland
Great little quirky park with some fun coasters
8. Himeji central park
I really liked this place, good attractions with unique touches
9. Hamanako pal pal
AMAZING setting, just wish they had a better rides collection.
10. Tokyo dome city
Once again incredible setting, just need a few more rides
11. Sea paradise
Surf coaster was a ton of fun with some good airtime moments, and the park was very nice, just once again very small
12. Tobu zoo
Intamin mega lite, kawasemi was my 3rd favourite coaster in Japan and had some amazing ejector air, but the park atmoshpehere really isn't good and there is nothing else noteworthy.
13. Toshimaen
Little city park with a few coasters, nothing really special though
14. Tokyo joypolis
Barely even a park which is why it so low, but it's a really cool place to visit, I really likes gekion live.
15. Yokohama cosmoworld
Probably the only park I visited I wouldn't reccomend, vanish is trash and there really isnt much here.
If any of you read all that, I appreciate it
Pyrenees definitely looks like the best B&M Invert out there
I enjoyed reading your reactions. Well done on making it to so many parks.
8:05 i can't stop watching this coaster, it's incredible.
Wow Tokyo disney sea looks incredible! I want to see that level of theming at a Six flags park!
Do an Africa/Middle East Coaster Trip!
I really want to visit the Emirates! I hope to get there in the next couple of years!
Cant wait to ride 300 powered kiddie coasters in third world countries. Sometimes you just gotta send it
Loving these list videos!
Japanese parks look so odd. Most of them got this sort of abandoned vibe to them (to be fair, the fact that the sky was grey in most shots probably didnt help) and the parks look really disorganized. Still seem like great fun though, id love to go on a coaster trip to japan.
Thank you this is very helpful, I’m going on a Japan trip very soon and my family wants to try a theme park
Japan may have some weird coasters but man are they memorable
I am planning a solo trip to Japan for my 30th birthday. Id be good with fuji-q and nagashima only. Steel Dragon, Dodoma and Eejanika are the coasters I must ride more than anything.
Great country! Great Review!
10:32 that's basically exactly what happened. The park was paid mostly by a separate Japanese entity (the oriental land company I think) and unlike the us parks they had little to no budget constraints. That's why it's so awesome and I wish we had a park like that in the states.
Hearing all this great stuff about Tokyo Disney Sea makes me want to go so bad! Great video!!!
Thanks for putting this together. Listing all of those parks in one video hits home how fantastic your trip was. It was also really cool to have Janek on for the parks you missed out on. Pity you missed Pyrenees.
“You have an unlimited budget. Go nuts!”...
Well that’s pretty much what happened when Tokyo Disney Sea was being built by the Disney Imagineers, but was funded almost entirely by the Oriental Land Company.
Everywhere I go, I think about going to theme parks and I search up the parks to be at!
Congrats on 160k subs
Taylor is Great at explaining experiences and giving us a balanced arguments whilst still being funny
Great video
Was that English?
3:37 Straight track: the ride
I live in Saga Prefecture and me and my English students are going to Kijima amusement park in Oita. In this video, number 1 and number 3 is also my top 5.haha the Amusement park in Fiji Q had some problems and guests were getting injured riding the white rollercoaster called the Do-do🎢 back in 2021. Guests were having neck problems and even some fractures on their necks and/or backs. Glad the owner took it seriously and reduced the speed of the rollercoaster. hello from Saga.
Can you do a top 10 of your favorite themed lands in the world?
Yeaaahh, DisnbeySea is number 1. Agreed with you, bro.
I've been there 2 years ago and feels I wanna come back again.
We need a top 25 parks in the world video, ranking the best parks you've been to from everywhere you've been (includes America, Europe, and Japan)
It’s on my to do list! :)
With Fuji-Q at #2 I totally couldn't think of what would be #1.
We are going to Japan in late May (from Australia). I'm trying to convince my wife that we can do DisneySea, Universal and Fuji-Q Highlands. We have just been to Universal and WDW in Orlando and absolutely loved it.
Cool, your next trip could be northern Europe like Poland, Norway, Finland etc. You can also revisit some other parks too
Yo Taylor your thumbnails are insane
Great video ! In how many days did you cover 18 parks ?
i lived in japan for three years and I didn't know there were so many theme parks I only went to universal studios and disney sea. i was young so I was scared to ride half of the rides but the experience was unbelievable
Just came back from a themepark "crawl" in Japan with one friend - we did 5 theme parks:
1. Hanayashiki (im not sure if you mentioned this one?)
2. Joypolis
3. FujiQ
4. Nagashima
5. USJ
Ive done DisneySea in my last trip to Japan. I completely agree with your list. FujiQ was the best coasters, but I think I enjoyed Nagashima for its sheer size (plus it was empty on the day which meant we went on the big coasters like 5 times each!). Nagashima felt like an example of a classic themepark. Also, USJ opened up Nintendo World recently which makes it even more magical - definitely worth checking out!
I'm hearing nothing but good things about Tokyo Disney Sea,I wanna go 😁
I remember when I went to school in Okayama I could see that park from my math class 3:30
I've been to Fuji-Q, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneysea, Universal Osaka, Tokyo Dome City, and Joypolis.
I'd rank them:
#6 Joypolis
It was a really fun spot and considering how close it is to Tokyo, definitely worth checking out, but I could pretty much just copy/paste what you said
#5 Tokyo Dome City
Back Dannnn didn't exist when I was there so I didn't get a chance to ride that but Thunder Dolphin is straight fire.
#4 Tokyo Disneyland
I'm just not a Disney fan. It was more or less the same thing as Disneyland in SoCal, the Magic Kingdom, and Disneyland Paris. (I haven't been to Shanghai Disney or Hong Kong Disney yet but I'm sure it's the same thing there too for the most part)
#3 Tokyo Disneysea
Sorry dog I just wasn't floored by themeing like you were. It was great no doubt but I don't go to these places for the themeing I go for the rides and Disneysea's rides just didn't stack up to the following two. I did enjoy Disneysea though and I would probably rank it #1 out of the 10 Disney parks I've been to. So if you're a sucker for amazing themeing or a Disney fan, then I'm sure you'd have a different list.
#2 Fuji-Q
This could potentially change once I get back there in August, though, in all honesty, I doubt it. When I went Fujiyama and, more importantly, Dodonpa, was closed. This was when dodonpa was being refitted with the loop.
#1 Universal Osaka
For sure the best park I've visited in Japan. You want great themeing? Check. You want great rides? Check. You want an experience unique from the Universal parks in LA and Orlando? (and I guess Singapore but I've never been there) check. This park was amazing. Definitely my favorite that I've been to in Japan.
For the Home of Togo. The coaster collection is pretty good.(Everyone be happy that Magnum-XL200 was built by arrow. If the US Dollar had been stronger Magnum would have Been a Togo.) Keep up the Great Work. Love the content
Have been to the top four parks. I agree that Disney Sea has the best theming and the best musical show Big Band Beat! Favorite coasters are Eejanaika and Hakugei. Crazy!
Totally agree!!!!
I watched all the reviews and mostly agree with the ranking. anyway, I would not rank Disneyland behind parks like hamanako. I can understand that Tokyo Disneyland is just a clone of many others with some slight differences, but objectively it should at least be in the top 10. not saying top 3 but just a bit higher in the ranking. I like to consider myself a Disney fan but I am trying to give my most honest and objective opinion. The rest of the list is fine! But as I said, is just my humble opinion. Peace!
Yo Taylor I’ve been watching you since 2014
Tokyo Disney Sea is the best themed park by far. I love the steampunk, jungle, and european esthetics. I went there in 2011 I believe. I even had a video up of journey to the center of the earth that did okay on views. Took it down because more professional povs came out later and I was just a dorky high schooler. I went 2 days and stayed in the hotel that is right on the border of the park. All I can say is, Wow! The charm was definitely there. Some of the rides were great, and others just pleasantly mediocre, but the theming. God damn the theming. I really felt like I was deep in the earth, underwater, in Italy, or in a temple. I want to go back. I wished my family would have explored Tokyo more, or even Japan in general (we spent a good 2/3s our time at disney for 6 days), but I really enjoyed my time there in Disney, but specifically Disney Sea. I'd agree that Tokyo Disneyland didn't really have anything that stood out other than it's horrible "mainstreet" covering
Hey Taylor, do you have any plans to make an updated most intense coasters you've ridden countdown list? Your original list is 4 years old, and you've been on a LOT more coasters since then including many from Japan & Europe. I'm curious to see where rides like Flying Dinosaur, Boardwalk Bullet, Karnan & Mindbender @ Galaxyland rank compared to some of your original picks like I305 & Skyrush.
I've been to TDS, USJ, Fuji Q and TDC. You pretty much have it right.
Japan has a unique style of parks and coasters
Thank you for sharing...
Now I kept on my list
Tokyo Disneyworld, Universal Studio Osaka n Tokyo Disneysea and maybe fuji-q highland i hope that place not far from tokyo
Hurray! Taylor likes a Disney park more than super thrilling amusing parks (in Japan anyway.)
One of us...
One of us...
One of us...
I was blown away when Tobu Zoo wasn’t in last place
Just focusing on the park, it was absolutely the worst. BUT...they have an intamin mega lite. Yes it was underwhelming, but it was still a redeeming factor of the park. Cosmoworld didn’t have any good rides lol
My wife used to work at Sea Paradise and Disney Sea. Which was sweet because she got a set number of free pases every year. At one point she had to work in Osaka for about a year. We got yearly pases to USJ while she was there. Which were ridiculously cheap. Less than $200 USD. Really great to have during Halloween Horror Nights. Consider Visiting Tokyo Disneyland again. They’ve got some major additions coming in the next couple of years.
I heard TDS is getting a big extension for 2024 including 4 new attractions (look more like TDL attractions than big coasters or anything really exciting), restaurants and a hotel - extension projected to cost some 2bn USD - should make this a great place to take my daughter who should be old enough to enjoy the slightly scarier TDS rides and also my son for whom the new extension sounds like something for around his age. Didn't enjoy Fuji-Q this time - maybe I went at the wrong time as we are still barely getting out of the COVID scare here - hopefully they will turn that place around again over the next few months and it will get back to the fun place that I remember.
I'd personally rank Tokyo Disneyland higher (for literally no other reason than because I'm a Disney fan), but TBH, I still wouldn't rank it anywhere near the number 1 spot (probably not even in the top 5) because there's very little in that park that sets it apart from the original Disneyland or WDW's Magic Kingdom. Aside from Pooh's Hunny Hunt, Monsters Inc. Ride and Go Seek and the upcoming Beauty and the Beast Ride, pretty much *every single one* of that park's most notable attractions are near 1-1 clones of the California or Florida versions with minor differences at best. Even Universal Studios Japan, which also mostly combines the most popular attractions from the American Parks, has more original attractions that make it worth visiting.
Tokyo Disney Sea, however, deserves the number one spot hands down. As I commented on your review of that park, it's basically what you'd get if Walt Disney Imagineering had the freedom to build an entire park from scratch with little to no budget constraints and it *totally* shows! What it lacks in thrill rides, it *more* than makes up for in having the most immersive theming of any park ever! It's like if you took the amount of detail seen in Universal and Disney's most recent new lands like Wizarding World, Pandora and Galaxy's edge, then applied it to *the entire park!*
I'm honestly ehhhh on Tokyo Sea. The theming is gorgeous, but unless the weather is bad, the lines just get so long because there are not enough attractions to make up for the crowds. I'm interested to see what happens when the new lands are completed. I do think their version Soarin' is a lot better just because of the theming. Tokyo Disney in general is awful for dietary restrictions or food allergies. I do love that the tickets are so much cheaper than in the US. I have paid to stay on property the last few times to get that sweet early entry. I have also been to USJ. Now that my kid is tall enough, I'm looking forward to going back and riding the rides she didn't make the height line for. I am always shocked at how affordable all the hotels walking distance to USJ are. I'm super curious about Nasu, since we often go to Koriyama, and I've now driven in Japan. Nasu also has awesome onsen. Speaking of which, did you actually use the onsen at Nagashima Spa land?
You should visit Belgium and some more parks in The Netherlands. There are a couple of good coasters. Wait until Walibi Belgium opened their intamin!
I was supposed to visit Bobbejaanland this summer, but the trip is being postponed due to the virus.
@@CoasterStudios Oh, that's too bad. Hopefully some other time!
Please do another coaster quiz with your family
Did you try the clock ride at Fuji-Q Highland!
I kney DisneySea had to be # 1 on the list, I've never been to Japan, but I've heard nothing but great things about the park
I rank the Yokohama Coaster on 1st place because of that future look-a like design.
if only visit 3 parks in japan , tokyo dome city. joy-polis and Fuji q . Fuji q was def. my favorite but gotta say i wasn't happy that they closed the rollercoast due to tiny bit of rain .. it was in the same week as you guys visited. but luckely i got all credits done by 1pm before the rain ... so tip for all friday is kinda a emptier day than thursday and make use of the single rider line at fujiyama
Where should I must go
If I went to Japan
Make a video regarding that
It will be a great help for me
I can’t wrap my head around how people think Pyrenees is intense. Dropping out of the MCBR it bucks you like a mule but after that I was just waiting for it to be over so I could enjoy the first half again :P
You should do top 20 clone rollercoaster that you have ridden
If you ever got to go back to Japan for one park only, weather you been there or not, what would it be?
I’d go to Rusutsu Resort, which is a park in northern japan that I did not get to visit.
Did you not get to ride “spinning coaster” and “tower hacker” at Tokyo Dome city? They might have been taken down at that time. But they were my absolute favourite!
Can you do an analysis of the Jurassic world coaster in orlando
That Greenland train though
I've been to disney sea before it was so pretty
“You have unlimited budget. Go nuts” lol
You know DisneySea’s theming has to be INSANE when he prefers it over Fuji Q overall
I respect your views on Tokyo Disney but I’m so surprised by them!
Just like the United States, China, and Germany, Japan is a coaster lover's paradise.
Fastest click ever. I have been looking forward to this video for a while.
How do you find all these other coaster enthousiast friends to go on the trips with? Sounds like great fun to visit a lot of parks on a holiday! Went to Japan myself but the group didnt want to 'waste' a day going to a theme park :(
We all met by going to parks, running into each other, talking, and eventually planning trips together!
@@CoasterStudios thank you for your reaction. Its fun to hear that its still possible to just run into likeminded people and form friendships naturally.
Yokohama cosmo world does look pretty tho
I know you think the coasters at Tokyo Disney sea suck,
but the raging sports coaster was actually my first looping coaster
Did you do one of these videos for your Europe trip?
Yes he did
I’m wanting to go to Japan in April 2021
You can put Tokyo Disneyland low but DisneySEA can’t be less than top 5
the 1 dislike is from cosmoworld
I dunno where i wanna go, Japan or Europe, hey why not both
Man I got so excited because I'm literally at the most northern part of Japan you can get to and Nadu ain't even the more nothern theme park lol It's Greenland!
What park do you recommend the most for someone who loves Thrilles?
Fuji-Q Highland!
Nothing beats Tokyo Disney Sea
I’ve been too Tokyo Disney sea!!!
I got an ad for a hair gel company called Schwarzkopf while watching a video about coasters lol
Tokyo disneysea is something out of sandbox mode
I feel like all of the random parks in Japan that not every has heard of (so basically everywhere except the disney parks, Universal, Nagashima spa land, and fugi q) All have a togo as their star attraction. Have you ridden more Togos than intimans or b&ms?
I highly doubt he has
I envy you Taylor
Should we spend 2 days in Disney sea? How many days would you recommend? Thank you 🙏
One day should be okay but you could certainly make a second day out of it, there’s plenty to do
@@CoasterStudios thank you. Based on your recommendation, we are going to make the trip to Osaka too.
Disney and FujiQ Highland here I come
where are these parks?
