The reports are based on my experience, unless otherwise noted. When I speak of locals, I am stating when I believe is the best time to see many other DDR'ers there. NOT ALL LOCATIONS ARE LISTED. Go to Zenius-I-Vanisher for a list of updated locations!

The hours of operation for each location are their regular hours, and will vary on the season.

While I try to keep this as accurate as possible, I do not go to all these locations on a regular basis. I took some of the pad conditions from others that have reported machine conditions on ddrfreak.
