Today, I had the pleasure of riding the Tama-Toshi Monorail Line. This is a fantastic Alweg-type Monorail which connects two commuter rail lines and runs across the hilly terrain of the suburb of Tama. It's a fantastic example of just how versatile monorail technology can be.
I took the Kanazawa Seaside Line, another AGT (Automated Guideway Transit) system out in Yokohama to Hakkejima Sea Paradise, a theme park much like Ontario Place, with some better rides. I just love those big ship cranes in the background.
Bandit at Yomiyuriland is a coaster I've had on my "must ride" list for many years. It was the first real "hypercoaster" and it has a beautiful setting, with track draped across a valley of cherry blossoms.
