Dreamland was like a wierd DL dream, I could never say I like it, but at the same time I couldn't say I didn't like it. I will say this it was a lot cheapt than DL.

Originally Posted By Elderp "It ain't all that impressive, honestly (reason why I just thought they were fooling around). " Call me a "gaijin" but I think I would be WAY impressed, or maybe freaked out, not sure which. Last time I rode Splash Mountain the CM didn't get on the bow of the boat. "Kinda like guitar hero, ya know?" Cool, I am looking at this site and I had no idea Japan had soo many themeparks.
