Downsides: Located out of the way, a two hour train journey from Fukuoka.
We went on a weekday, and it was quite dead (apart from lots of school kids- what we assumed to be a result of a school excursion). The place really only comes alive at night time (
Past 730pm). Admission is expensive, especially considering that most rides are VR and are not particularly exciting or interrsting. Some of these rides have weight restrictions of 90kg (yes, they actually weigh you), which we considered quite low coming from overseas.
Upsides: the restaurant food was decent, much better than your run of the mill fun park food. Also, at night time, the majority of the park looks quite pretty when it lights up, especially from the Ferris wheel - the decorations, flower beds, windmills and stores.
