Located in the heart of Tokyo, and part of the Tokyo Dome complex, LaQua is easily accessible by bus or subway (Suidobashi station). As space is notoriously limited in Tokyo, the park takes up a pretty small area, but manages to use the available space well. It's completely free to enter, and rides can be paid for individually. An all day, all inclusive pass will cost you 4,000 Yen (around 20 pounds). LaQua doesn't really have much of an "amusement park" atmosphere, being very much a city park, but thrillseekers will not be disapointed here.

If the weather's nice and you're hankering for a coaster fix, you can't do much better in Tokyo without leaving the downtown area. Linear Gale and Thunder Dolphin shut down if the wind picks up above a breeze or rain falls for a few minutes, but that's pretty typical of Japanese parks. The other two coasters are covered and operate in inclement weather. I'd rather head over to Yomiuriland for Bandit, but that's a personal preference. This park doesn't have much soul, but it's not every day you get to see a hypercoaster on top of a mall roof in a busy metropolis that threads through the center of a ferris wheel!
