2 articles featured on the Hokkaido park: news.walkerplus.com/2010/0325/16/www.tomamin.co.jp/2010c/c10032602.htmlSeems Hokkaido (Chitose)'s park will be bigger than it's Tokyo(Odaiba)'s Counterpart. They plan to do a on price thing for the whole park (as opposed to the current pricing structure in Odaiba). This is good.. this most likely means you can do whatever you want over and over as opposed to have to pay for each attraction multiple times.

So basically the system is pretty much like this? Hokkaido = Day Pass Odaiba = Pay as you Go

I'm dying to see what obstacles are going to Hokkaido given that they are building the facility (already known it's bigger than the one in Tokyo..) .. I'm soooo looking forward to full sized obstacles. There are 20 things coming.. I would assume 4-5 are Sasuke.

So basically the system is pretty much like this? Hokkaido = Day Pass Odaiba = Pay as you Go Pretty much. David would know for sure since he was there Original Muscle Park, you buy tickets for $9 or 2 for $16 ($8 each) and you can use them to the various attractions. One run as Sasuke Park is one ticket ($8) The Sasuke park section is cramped and tiny, About 1/4 the size of a 7-11 liquer store. Entire Muscle Park is about 1/2 the size of a Rite Aid, or 1/3 the size of a Safeway. Just by my rough estimation heh!

Wow, saw the concept art, that place looks 3-4 times as big as the old one! Hopefully they'll have more than 4 Sasuke obstacles, and they won't be greased! Looks like a long train ride though from tokyo which is where the G4 hotel is.

They do say that it's 1 1/2 times bigger than the original Odaiba park so let's see how it turns out. Personally just having higher ceilings will help a LOT Oh and that's a haul.. People would have to fly there.. train ride would be probably just as if not more expensive than flying..

Well the trains to REALLY f***ing FAST there like 160mph I think. Also I found out that as a tourist I can buy a tourist train pass here in America (not available in Japan) for about $250 or something, and it's use it for unlimited train rides anywhere in Japan. So when I make it back to Japan I, after Sasuke I can take the train to the new Muscle Park and then down to my sister's for a visit!

If you go only by train from Tokyo it will take something in the neighborhood of ten hours or so if you want to get to the closest possible station (Minami Chitose).
If the UNCLI guys really want to go, the easiest way is to fly from Tokyo to Shin-Chitose Airport and then take a train. It would take maybe three hours.

It's more because you have to keep changing trains - there's no way to get there without changing trains at least three or four times.
