Some of you may remember our report on Shigenobu Matsuzawa’s visit to Gunma Cycle Sports Center a few months back. It’s the amusement park where everything has pedals including the roller coaster. While Shigenobu ultimately gave the place four out of five stars in his reviews, the photos he took looked kind of depressing. However, now a video released on YouTube seems to have captured a totally new angle of Gunma Cycle Sports Center which gives it a much needed image boost.
First, in case you missed it, here are some of Shigenobu’s pictures from his visit.
Now here’s how it looked to Jerry and friends:
A little change in weather makes a big difference it seems. It’s also good to see a lot of people heading out to that charming little place for some fresh air and exercise.
