About the "horse" meat , it's a brazilian recipe called "bife à cavalo" which is a normal cow beef with an fried egg on top, be cool, it was not a horse kkkkkk
If your burger or whatever you call it, was called Sakura, then yes you ate horse. Horse is considered a healthy cuisine in Japan. Now don't get me wrong, it's not immensely common, but it's not incredibly uncommon either.
When I went to Japan we stayed in Ibaraki so we were about 30 minutes from the park so we thought why not let’s go there it’s close bye and I loved it this was one of my favourite things I did on my month long trip and Big Boom was the ride that I had ridden the most in 1 day before (19) I love that ride
My guess, the reason you guys had some deserted parks is that you went at the end of the rainy season so Japanese people don't go until late July- August when its the dry season
Thank you so much for posting your video of Nasu Highland Park. It brings back amazing memories because I worked on the design of the park back in the late 80's and early 90's. The director of the park at that time was an open minded, happy go-luck man named Yoshihiro Kuroki. Mr. Kuroki originally ran a soccer training camp at this site, and as it could not be sustained financially, he teamed up with large steel fabricator Meisho Corporation to create an amusement park. Meisho provided the rides and Kuroki, as a director with Towa Corp, provided the land and supporting amendments. Rides were set down haphazardly, until the mid 80's when Mr. Kuroki sought an American company to tie the park together and create a unifying theme. Instead of looking for amusement park designers, he contacted a relative in SF who worked for architectural firm ED2 Interational which teamed up with landscape architects SWA Group to master plan the park. I was assigned to the project because I had a fun creative bent. We worked with Mr. Kuroki and his team of Japanese engineers and park staff for 10 years - traveling back and forth - developing a fantastic relationship that became more than just work. We sang, we laughed, we ate yakatori skewers and drank cold beer in an open cafe with a view of the local "love motel". We were like a family. We designed each and every detail of the park. The first major section of the park to be built was Rock and Roll Plaza - a 1950's Americana street scene. The hot rods I designed, were built by Roy Brizio Hot Rods in South San Francisco, I also got to design the giant Jukebox entry arch, the route 66 "Paul Bunyon" sized Gas Man based on my dad, were built by William Kreysler Associates. WKA was a fiberglass manufacturer in Petaluma who originally started by building racing sailboats, and later went on to build sculptures for artists like the Cupids Span in SF, and unique building facades like SF MOMA museum. Great people, great project, and great fun! Can't ask for more of a career!
Had the single worst experience at this park in 2015. Every big rollercoaster was closed for the entire day because of 'rain', with blue skies and the sun shining! They only opened up a few kiddy coasters. And the bat flyer, so I got that going for me, which is nice, since it's been SBNO now. :P Will probably give the park second chance if I go back to Japan, but looking at Big Boom and not being able to ride had us pretty pissed off that day. Had an entire day planned at this park, but left after only an hour. We did get to go off the beaten track instead, and with an quick RCDB search we ended up visiting Kamine Park and Pleasure Gardens on the eastcoast of Japan. Which was an nice and unexpected bonus.
We went to Mitsui Greenland in Kumamoto Prefecture during spring break last year. I found it fun. Very "stuck in the past" feel but that was part of the fun of it. A very casual vibe compared to the glam of Disney. Rides were well maintained if not needing the fading paint to be brightened up. The coasters were mostly ones I would ride so I'm not sure you'd be that impressed by it :)
We went to Greenland as well on this same trip! I will have a review posted to my channel eventually, but in the meantime I do have a few Greenland videos already posted, including a Gao and Ultra Twister review!
I had raw horse meat in Japan and it was actually great! thinly sliced and really tender. like carpaccio but with a slightly stronger flavor. I honestly don't know what's wrong with it.
I went there when I used to live in Yokohama. It took about 4 hours to get there. When we arrived, literally ALL of the rollercoasters were closed for maintenance. EVERY SINGLE ROLLERCOASTER. They gave us free food all day to make up for it lol
Hit this place in 2005 with a gaggle of Japanese women. I can't even remember if I hit Big Boom, but a fine time was had by all. The Aztec water ride thing stuck in my mind the most. Of course, I couldn't leave without my Woopy Woodpecker T-Shirt as well.
I went to Nasu high land in 2017 And the corkscrew was open for me and it was exiting but it was also a little boring and I reviewed it and I gave it a final score of a 5.6 out of ten
On Impulse at Knoebels, I took my niece up onto the ride, which she was tall enough for. The ride ops, however, had this foam seat that they made her sit on and then pulled down the restraints. Had never seen that before either. It was literally like a shell that went behind her back and under her butt.
Dude, I checked out what you ordered. It was a Loco Moco - Hawaiian hamburger steak. No horse. Your translator probably picked up the word "うま”／uma which is short of "umai" which is slang for delicious. Horse in Japanese is "uma" as well. Horse meat is a rare delicacy, and pretty expensive, so it is highly unlikely they'll be serving that at a theme park.
Already released it. It's a lot of the same footage you see in this video, but with music placed over sections. You can view it here: ua-cam.com/video/SUT0euGV05s/v-deo.html
"They have an entire Rock N Roll 80's section with a jukebox and cars." Thats... the 50s Taylor
oops
glurgh
This place is an actual roller coaster tycoon park
It really is!!
The life jacket thing sounds a little like the booster seat thing at Lagoon. Its good that parks consider this
I thought I remembered that!
About the "horse" meat , it's a brazilian recipe called "bife à cavalo" which is a normal cow beef with an fried egg on top, be cool, it was not a horse kkkkkk
Even if it were, what is so different about eating a horse instead of a cow?
@@smuella eh its kinda taboo in america
@@corn6960 But why? It's clearly a double standard. Same for pertty much every other animal including the usual pets :D
I wouldn't be surprised if it was normal beef, but when I used my app translator it said horse, so I'm still skeptical lol.
Correct. This is just a horse-back rider (cowboy) steak. Besides, Horse meat is 50 bucks a pound. That's not what you had.
If your burger or whatever you call it, was called Sakura, then yes you ate horse. Horse is considered a healthy cuisine in Japan. Now don't get me wrong, it's not immensely common, but it's not incredibly uncommon either.
I know I'm 3 years late, but wth: In Germany we have some horse butchers. So even in here it isn't that uncommon.

It looks like an amusing park. It's a hodge-podge, but in a fun way.
Please make an countdown of the top parks and coasters in asia 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I will rank my favorite parks in Japan after I have reviewed all that I visited.

i was playing this in the background and i heard you say you ate horse and i laughed so hard bro XD. love the videos!!

@@CoasterStudios Have you been to Canada's Wonderland? It's very coaster heavy. Your playlist is long do I didn't go past finding Greenland :)

This looks like the closest thing in the world to a park built in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 irl
More like the 80s. Bright colors was an 70-80s thing. The 90s was more like the absence of color. The alternative decade.
“Not so” highland
Any chance of a top video for coaster of your Japan trip?
yes! coming very soon!
noticed you changed your channel art, looking good!!
You better be working on that west coast racers parody lol
Your vids are so good
That's a pretty SLC (I meant nice color scheme, not ride)
Was the horse good though? Horse is a Hispanic delicacy and it was honestly pretty good, I wonder how Japan’s is
"They have a Vekoma SLC which is terrible" Ah yes, the floor is made out of floor
Have I been there? Nope. But I have eaten horse meat. It's yummy! 🐴
Like for big boom to get lap bats
How’s the Slc lmao? Gotta be a knockoff
I'm not sure if he rode it?
@@al0742 Maybe you guys could try watching the video? He said a few times that it was horrible. And it is a legit SLC.
Brandon it’s not a knockoff
Brandon it’s Japan. China does tons of knockoffs.

This one looks smallish but pretty cool actually.
It's so American to not eat horse and I don't know why
Most of the world has taboos against eating horse.
@@StamfordBridge sure en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_meat#/media/File:World_laws_on_killing_horses_for_consumption.png
@@saberline152 hahaha. I don't get it either. From a moral standpoint, you either eat animals or not I'd say...
Take us to studios great video keep doing the good work
Only japan. Hahaha cool ass experience

Thanks for clarifying!
Horse is 馬 or うま. Pronounced “oo-mah”
Is it close to Miyagi???
Not quite that far north. This is closer to Fukishima.
Oh ok. I do like a nice ejector filled drop (big boom) so I’ll try to get there this month!
Did you real eat horse tho 😂
Will you have a cinematic footage of this park?
Already released it. It's a lot of the same footage you see in this video, but with music placed over sections. You can view it here: ua-cam.com/video/SUT0euGV05s/v-deo.html
I had a day like this at KD once. There was maybe 40 guests in the park, and none of them, except for me, were at I305. It was epic
Did you end up eating horse?
This park added a new coaster lately or is everything older? This park has VR I see
Pretty much everything is older. Not sure when their last new attraction was.
Kool park
🐎🐴❓😳🤢
great video !!!
but can we see more coaster fights and park battles
He ended that segment
Sorry, I stopped doing those a few years ago. The channel has moved on to bigger and better things.
How many more Japan coaster reviews do you have left? Can you do one of Fugiama?
Thunder Dolphin and Fujiyama are the only Japan reviews I have left.
@@CoasterStudios Ok, can't wait. 👍
Coaster Studios Do you still remember the review of Behemoth at CW, I’ve been waiting for it for a long time.

Ok but how was the horse

Sounds like the rest of us are missing out tbh
Well ad least you didnt eat a dog XD
I would've cried
