Journeys in Japan Pt2 [cont.]

Continued photos from DisneySEA.  Click for captions.  Some video to come later!

Overall DisneySEA was a really fun place.  Nothing can beat the magic of Disneyland for me, probably because of associated childhood memories, but DisneySEA has a lot of really great stuff that Disneyland doesn’t.  Also the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride was really well designed.  I can easily say it was one of the coolest rides I’ve been on.  Basically you sit inside a submarine, which is just a car on a suspended track (think Peter Pan at dland), and there is the allusion of being submerged when a panel full of water/bubbles is put infront of the windows.  You’re moved around a sunken area full of things to look at (I love when rides or exhibits have things you can look at and discover, part of the reason why I loved the Ghibli Museum so much), and at certain times you have control of over the submarine’s spotlight.  The illusion of being under water is really convincing. 

Next - The Studio Ghibli Museum in Mitaka!
