The first time I was in Tokyo, I went to Tokyo Dome City with my tour group to see Tokyo Dome (where Tokyo's baseball team plays and many concerts are held) and then check out the attractions: a ferris wheel, a roller coaster, and some other rides etc. The group I was with wanted to ride the only roller coaster there but it was closed, so I was VERY excited to return and see if it was open.
After getting our tickets (covered by our school fees so I am not sure of the price), we went to check out the attractions! Tokyo Dome City actually has quite a few attractions I wasn't aware of. For example, our first was a 3D adventure "ride" and then afterwards we played a game that included memorizing pictures, making our way through a small mirror maze, and then through a bigger maze of hexagons to find the items and our way out! Then we found a haunted house that really scared Tamura-senpai and myself but I don't think it frightened anyone else.
Even though it was too cold to ride any water rides (in my opinion), we decided we wanted to ride the ferris wheel and roller coaster. Unfortunately due to the weather the roller coaster was yet again closed and I really hope it opens back up sometime before I leave. We did get to ride the Ferris wheel though. Henry, Cameron, and Amber went up in one of the cars while Tamura-senpai, Anthony, and I went up in another. Some awesome things about the ferris wheel: it has a music player in it, we saw Mount Fuji, it was enclosed so we didn't get too cold.
After our ride in the Ferris wheel we decided it was time for lunch and someone decided we should go to Bubba Gumps so hey, why not! After lunch I had my first Baskin Robins (maybe ever) and it was delicious. Before leaving I went on a ride similar to Boo Blasters / The Scooby Doo shooting ride at Kings Island for those of you who go there where you try to shoot targets for points. The first time through, I almost made it onto the day's scoreboards! But my second time through I didn't have nearly as much accuracy in my shooting.
