Videographers from Kilian-Nakamura
(http://www.kilian-nakamura.com/blog-english/index.php/2007/08/)
were on hand to film the repair of the wave mechanism for the
indoor Tokyo Summerland Wave Pool (shown in the photo, above).
They recorded:
"It’s summertime here in Tokyo, and since we’re in the middle of the
Obon holiday week a lot of Tokyoites have left town for the
countryside, leaving a strangely empty city behind. Those who
stick around or come in from the countryside pack just about
every tourist spot to the gills. We went to the Tokyo Summerland
today to catch some sun, and could barely move! Believe it or not,
the picture (above) is of a pool...and not just any pool, but an
indoor wave pool! It (the wave mechanism) was broken until 3:00,
and when they announced it was starting again, the following
craziness happened. If you get motion sickness easily, please
do not watch this video (below).
