'Spamusement park' combining bathing and rides opens in Beppu

Only three days? Sounds about right.

If in bathing suits, why the towel? One or the other, though flying towels could increase number flocking to the ride...

Sorry... I still see a hideous mishmash of cow and pork parts crammed into a can and called "spam" when I see this name.

Two concepts starkly at odds with each other, if you ask me. The hot water tends to turn me into a content vegetable. The last place I want to be after soaking is on a roller coaster.

Can't wait for some skins, bubble covered rider slips out from the safety bar. Great idea.

Won't the water and foam come flying out when they go round the vertical loop?

Still a better idea than Legoland in Nagoya.

Dan Lewis, the European Legoland parks are quite nice actually. I still have to visit the Nagoya one, and it's obvious you've never been there.

Real classy.

Looks great fun in a great part of Japan.

In hot water in 35 degree heat? Fun? OIJ

So they promised that they would make a spa amusement park for one million likes, got them, and then just knock up some simplified version for three days only. This whole thing wss sipposed to be for tourist promotion. So all that fuss for three days is going to make a difference? smh

I seriously doubt the water is still hot. It says "made from" (i.e. Spring water was used), but I doubt they pull the water and keep it that hot for a ride. I imagine it is ambient temperature by the time they use it, as they would have to get it from ground to ride in minutes or use an external heat source.
