Sega Joypolis

We left Fuji-Q and headed into Tokyo for a few days there. First park was actually done before we'd even got to our hotel.

Sega Joypolis was a brief stop on the last trip and an even more brief one this time.

Located on Odaiba island the park is a large indoor complex full of Sega games and rides. It's also home to a strange coaster and a large pair of red shorts.

The coaster used to be a sideways ride but they'd changed the cars to spinning ones. Note the restraint system that looks more like strappings that would restrain psycho patients than the public.


Escaping from the park I thought I'd go and see the Odaiba Gundam, a massive moving statue that had been located down the road. Alas it was only a limited appearance and a conversation with a member of staff had revealed it had been dismantled earlier in the week. A pity!
