Tokyo Dome City Attractions — Attraction in Tokyo

The ThunderDolphin ride must be great but the service and infrastructure is insanely poor.

I have arrived at 17:45 at the ticket office and they told me that the wait time was 90 minutes and the last ride is at 19:00. Seeing that it was 75 minutes until 19:00, I asked if I could get a chance to ride if I stand in the queue before 19:00. They said yes so I bought the ticket and went up to the queue.

I stood in line for 60 minutes and was like 1 ride away when I realised that the staff set a halt after the first 20-30-ish people in the queue and they did not let people further. In these minutes they made an announcement on loudspeaker every 2-3 minutes in Japanese only. The majority of the people in the queue were Japanese and they did not leave the queue so I guessed that the announcements were not about informing people about the stop of the ride. Then after a ride, they stopped letting the people of the next round near the cars so it became more and more evident that they were about to stop the coaster for the day.

Then at 19:00 they did just like that, they made another announcement, and the whole staff (who, by the way had an average age of 20) left without uttering a word in English. They did offer a refund of the tickets but that information only reached to me when I specifically asked TWO staff member what had just been announced, even though it had to be evident for them that there are people in the queue that do not speak Japanese because the girl at the beginning of the queue talked to every foreigner with the use of a translator machine.

Overall, very very very poor service. I understand that the ride has to stop after a certain time but giving misinformation to your guests (I asked in particular if I get on the ride if I start queueing before 19:00 and the answer was yes) then not informing your guests at all and wasting their time is unacceptable. And I am not only talking about foreign guests, Japanese people were all left there standing in the line without the information that "hey, three more rounds and finish" or something. At least that's what I suspect because I saw at least 50 people in the line behind me and none moved after 3-4 announcements.

Shame, would have loved to try this, especially because it is most likely the first and only time in my lifetime...

I recently visited Tokyo Dome City, and it was an amazing experience! The park is huge, and there are plenty of activities to do and things to see. Tokyo Dome City is not just an amusement park; it also has a shopping complex, restaurants, and a hotel, making it a complete destination for families, friends, and couples alike.

As an amusement park, Tokyo Dome City has a great selection of rides and attractions suitable for all ages. The park has a roller coaster, Ferris wheel, water ride, and many more thrilling rides that are sure to give you an adrenaline rush. If you're traveling with children, there are also plenty of family-friendly rides that are equally fun.

One of the highlights of the park is the Thunder Dolphin, which is one of the tallest roller coasters in the world. It's a must-ride attraction for thrill-seekers, and the view from the top is simply breathtaking.

Apart from the rides, Tokyo Dome City also has a variety of entertainment options, including a haunted house, a virtual reality attraction, and a 4D cinema. These attractions are perfect for those looking for something different from traditional amusement park rides.

If you're not into rides, Tokyo Dome City also has a variety of games and arcade machines that are sure to keep you entertained. The park also has a baseball stadium nearby, where you can catch a game or watch a live concert if you're lucky.

One of the best things about Tokyo Dome City is that it has a wide selection of dining options. Whether you're looking for Japanese cuisine, international dishes, or fast food, the park has something for everyone. There are also plenty of souvenir shops and stores selling merchandise, making it easy to pick up a souvenir to remember your visit.

Finally, if you're looking to stay overnight, Tokyo Dome City has a hotel right in the park. The hotel is modern, clean, and comfortable, and it's just a few steps away from all the park's attractions.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Tokyo Dome City for anyone looking for a fun-filled day out in Tokyo. With its thrilling rides, entertainment options, and great dining and shopping choices, it's a destination that is sure to delight...

We spent the whole day at Tokyo Dome City. We went during the week in April and there were very few people so we were able to walk on to all of the rides. There were several fun rides besides the roller coaster and the ferris wheel. There is an indoor roller coaster which we really enjoyed. You ride it forward the first time in the dark, then backwards with lots of colorful lights. I'm not sure what the theme is because I don't speak Japanese but it was a really fun ride none the less. I also enjoyed the little cars you try to drive over markers on the street to score points. They are challenging because they don't drive like a normal car so they take some getting use to! We bought the day pass which was worth it for us because we went on so many rides. They have a pay per ride option and I think you can buy a 5 ride option. For kids, by the time you buy the 5 rides, I think the all day wristband is about the same price. For adults, if you aren't going to be there long, you might opt for the 5 ride ticket. When we were there you could show your foreign passport and get a few dollars off each wristband. I think I had to go to their website to download something too maybe--I can't remember but check it out...
