Muscle Park Hokkaido

[arsenette]

M9 updated their site. Seems the opening is the 17th of July.

No update yet on the Muscle Park site and no I have no idea who will be there for the grand opening. Once I find out (or if anyone knows) I'll post it.

Seems Odaiba is pawning off an old obstacle to be moved to Chitose:

A Sasuke kids park? Looks like Yuuji and Koji's generation is already being pushed into becoming the "old" All Stars. Definately things like this are going to force TBS to lower the age limit on participants..please keep these updates coming..they're really interesting

[HarlequinKnight]

I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with for the actual SASUKE section. Everything else is looking alright, though I think I like the original Muscle Park more right now.

TBS doesn't have an age limit, they pick who they like. You must be thinking of G4 and the over 21 situation.

[arsenette]

Not everything is up inside yet so the structure seems a bit off right now but yeah I am looking forward to the Sasuke Park.

I do know the age limit for Sasuke in Japan is High School.. that's 10th grade for us so that makes it around 14/15'ish. I'm sure if there's enough clammor for it they'd have a Junior Sasuke but from what I heard it's a headache to run since you have to run with a parent/guardian in Junior Sasuke. G4 is the one with the 21 and over age limit that makes everyone under that age seethe.. especially since you have regular competitors that have already gone a few times before they even hit age 18...

Did TBS change the age limit in the last few years? Kota Homma competed for the first time when he was 13 and in middle school.

IIRC it's been past Sasuke 21/22 I believe. Around that time I started doing more research on that issue and the online stuff made specific references to "high school" and given that high school starts for them at 10th grade (for us) then the logical would be around 14/15 depending on when it was. But yeah they were a little younger before.. possibly because they still had Junior Sasuke? Maybe Ube will know more about that subject.

LOL they put a biga$$ countdown until the opening of Chitose:
chitose.musclepark.jp/

Think they are excited?

And Odaiba changed their website to show Chitose's information as well:

It's good to see Muscle Park expand. This means Higuchi's creations are alive and well, including Sasuke.

Good news. Good news indeed.

[arsenette]

Btw.. I'm not sure how I missed this.. LOL

Seems they are building the Sasuke park right now. Seems they will unveil it at the same time as the grand opening. Let the speculation begin! LOL

[artyfowljr]

W00t!!!
Btw am I the only one who sees a Salmon Ladder framework there?

[davidcampbell]

I wonder if this is the real reason for the UCH, so they can have an impossibleSasuke park, so they never have to give out the prize of a free happy meal! LOL

[arsenette]

Wha.. you didn't want a free monster burger? Theehhehehehehe Nah they won't put the UCH in there.. wouldn't make sense.. then again.. they did put the SCH.. hmmm... now I'm curious

Btw Arty I don't see why they wouldn't put the Salmon Ladder.. given that it's already in Odaiba.

[artyfowljr]

Well that's pretty much the reason, seeing the Salmon Ladder there makes me think it will be very similar to Odaiba; with the course renewal, I thought Sasuke Park would have been renewed as well. But again you said it, Speculation is the keyword, especially when a theory is based on a framework in a yet unborn theme park

[RiderLeangle]

I don't expect them to put in the FULL UCH.. I can see a toned down UCH being in there though..

Yeah I bet that's what they'll do.

Kinda like the Salmon ladder, only 4 rungs.
