Anyone else been at the Joypolis Stage in Japan at the Odaiba region?

I think me and my friends tried it at least 20 times =D
Posting some pics from our trip there, I seriously think its the coolest arcade form of the 4th installment with the cars moving and the gears, pedals and handbrake all working.

The entrance.

Do the gauges inside the car work? Or are they strictly decoration?

LOL joyPOLICE? it clearly says joyPOLIS.

Polis means city where police means... well police LOL
so... Joycity makes a lot more sense than joypolice >_>

anyways, that is just ID4 Limited, which has been posted several times before.

Infact, here is a 2 page thread about it:

He's even talking specifically about Joypolis.

I went there once with my girlfriend. It was good fun. We got stuck in the AE86. Which she hated. 'cause she thinks it's ugly. laugh.gif

It'd be well worth a day trip from Takasaki. It's not that far from Takasaki to Tokyo though, is it? Couple of hours?

Is this still available at Joypolis? The first time I saw it mentioned was at Destructoid over a year ago, and they described it as a "limited engagement." I'm going to Tokyo at the end of the month (Gotenyama to be exact), and I hope to take some time to check this out if it's still there.

On a related note: any other suggestions as for what to do/get on my Japan trip? I have about 4 days to myself.

TIA.

As far as I know it's still there, but I'm not really sure, I've not been in a looooooooooong time.

But I only played it once, 'cause my girlfriend wanted to go shopping or some shit probably. I don't remember. laugh.gif

I just remember being a big baby 'cause I couldn't drive the FD.

When I was there in September i remember reading it was there until Summer 2008 but summer had already passed when I went there, my guess is its still there.

Places to go/see:

Akihabara
Harajuku - Takshita Dori

Rent a car and drive out to Irohazaka, I did and it was awesome.

I also went to Mt.Haruna (Akina from Initial D).

Me and my girlfriend hung out where the guys from the series hang out at the top of the hill, While there I actually saw a Subaru WRX go racing by. At the bottom there was a used car dealer and they were selling an AE86 Levin.

Pretty cool stuff.
