According to Coasternet, Expoland a park in Osaka,Japan will close forever due to financial problems; in case you havent heard, In May 2007, almost 2 years ago Fujjin-Rajin, a TOGO Stand-up crashed killing 1. The park has been closed since then due to safety problems. What I find funny is that the japanese government wants PARAMOUNT PARKS to buy it! PARAMOUNT PARKS HAS BEEN DEFUNCT FOR 3 YEARS!!!!(even thought I still like to call King's Dominion Paramount's kings dominion)

It just goes to show that this is what happenes when a park slashes its maitnence regime. I gotta say, they better save Orochi, Even though it is a Raptor clone it still looked kickass.

I just want to know why on Earth they insisted on having like 4 steel coasters that are completely white...I feel like they are all ghosts (maybe they were foreshadowing?)

It's a shame tho...maybe that Raptor clone will pop up somewhere close to us.

That just makes me appreciate even the crappy color combos here...at least it's better than no color at all. [shocked]
