Japan general is just a bunch of ignorant weaboos so really if you want good info or civil discussion you shouldnt go there. Ever.
My specialty is amusement parks, so here are my tips for Tokyo on that topic:
Tokyo Disney Resort: per hardcore theme park fans who travel the world just to ride rides (yes, these freaks of nature exist), the two theme parks in Tokyo Disney are the Holy Grail of theme parks.
Tokyo Dome City: baseball stadium complex flanked by amusement zones. One of them has Thunder Dolphin, the biggest roller coaster in the Tokyo area, which rides along and dips over the tops of skyscrapers.
Sega Joypolis: giant arcade with one ride that is part arcade game, part looping roller coaster (an actual roller coaster, not a simulation).
Hanayashiki: oldest amusement park in Japan (dates back to being a flower garden in the mid-1800s). It also has the oldest roller coaster in the country, which dates back to the 1950s. It's a very small park, though, so don't plan your whole day around it.
There are a couple of other decent parks in and around Tokyo, but these are the most notable ones.

Other anon here.
While I was in Tokyo I went to Toshimaen amusement park. It's a small and not so known park in Tokyo but totally worth it. There even were some cosplayers there.

Yes. Check out the latest TEA/AECOM worldwide theme park attendance stats released this week: http://www.aecom.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2015_Theme_Index__Museum_Index.pdf
100% of the Top 10 most-visited theme parks last year (which is consistent for at least the past decade) are either Disney or Universal Studios parks, and the two parks in Tokyo Disney Resort are in the Top 5. Disney Parks are like the Rolls-Royce of theme parks (very expensive, but you get what you pay for). They put mountains of emphasis on quality, cleanliness, friendly staff, etc. Absolutely no one does it better in the theme park game than Disney.
