It looks great, I've seen pictures of the first time they had it in Japan, but even if it was held in the United States some year, I probably still wouldn't go...

1. It would probably be in a city that's no where near me.
2. At 23 years old now... yeah, you get the idea...

lol... well, the rides are definitely not "thrill rides" by any measure. Very tame rides, so it won't attract too people looking for some good rides.

But they do show the Pokemon movies there, as well as the exclusive PokePark only 3D Pokemon movie, starring Mew.

The ironic thing is one day I tell my friend that they should make a pokemon theme park or a nintendo theme park. I also tell him that there should be a roller coaster with rayquaza being the cart and a bunch of nintendo themed rides(ex:link stuff, metroid stuff, etc). Then 2 weeks pass and I found out that they were actually making a pokemon park in Japan. I was really surprised. And I was even more surprised when I found out there really was a rayquaza rollercoaster. If you don't beleive me, I have my friend to back me up. But it was really weird how I thought this up and then the pokemon company thinks up this thing as well. The only problem is that they thought up of a temporary park, not a permanent like Universal Studios, and Walt Disney World.

lol, well I think you (as well as Nintendo) based your idea on the "dragon roller coaster" ride that is common in many theme parks or carnivals. Not sure if you know about it, but there's a common roller coaster I see a lot that features a dragon, and it's a short tame track just like the Rayquaza one in PokePark. So you just replace that dragon with a Rayquaza, and it's the same idea (even with a similar track design).

Several of the rides are like that though, based on existing ideas, but with a Pokemon twist. Like a Pokemon merry-go-round (no horses, uses Pokemon).

Yeah, there are several dragon roller coasters like Dueling Dragons in Islands of Adventure but the only thing I thought up of was the rayquaza roller coaster. I never thought up of the other rides they had, like the Merry-Go-Round with the legendary dogs.
NOTE: I did not go to Nintendo and asked them to do this. They came up with this idea as well as I did. There are probably a number of other people in this world that came up with this idea.
But it would also be cool if they did make a Nintendo theme park, and like I said before, use characters from like Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin, Donkey Kong, Mario and all the stuff Nintendo owns. That would be great!

New York will probably be the most likely location (if they can find a suitable location, since the PokePark will take a lot of room, and likely for a long period of time). A lot of tourists to New York, so that's definitely one of the top cities it might go to if PokePark comes ot the US.

Speaking of Houston though, wouldn't be surprising it landed there also. They did hold the Pokemon Space Party there back in 2004. And the city is "Pokemon friendly" lol... the city declared it Pokemon Space Party month during the event.

Miami is another spot I think would be suitable, a lot of events has been in Florida. Like the 2004 TCG world championships.

Miami would be perfect, there is a lot of open space there . Nothing bad happens in Miami except for hurricanes. And that is only around late summer and fall. Weather conditions are perfect.

Ah, that is so correct. Houston is very Pokémon friendly. If you remember Houston was one of the first cities that hosted the first season of Pokémon Rocks America. Then it decided to come back in 2004 for a week-long event where they screened I think the Jirachi movie in the BIG, I mean GIANT screen. :)

i'm sad Pokemon NEVER comes to England........thanks alot Nintendo

[sonano]

I, a fellow englishman, am also upset by this. but i guess the truth of the matter is that england isn't that big, and it rains all the time. if it came to europe it would probably go to spain or somewhere like that, france is more likly i think.
