The Eastern Discovery Tour
Day 2

One of the main rides in the Adventure themed area was this ride called Spinning Batman. It has the theme of you being a bat riding around the treetops. It's an unusual coaster as well, with the car being suspended from a single rail. It also has an enclosed elevator style hill lift, which has been superbly themed, and does a great job of setting the theme. I don't know if this is a Chinese copy or an original idea, but it's a great family coaster, which would make a good signature coaster for a lot of smaller family parks.

Another ride in this area is this booster ride, with a superb theme, of the ride being a Roman War machine.

As well as a Roman themed ride this area also has an Egyptian themed ride. Isn't this a huge contrast when compared to all the generic boosters found in amusement parks around the country.

This is another superbly themed ride in this area. This Adventure area on it's own is good enough to be a park that would that's worth a visit in it's own right.

This area has a pirate theme, including that large boat which is the station for a big Log Flume ride.

The log flume ride reminded me a lot of Storm Force 10, with it's orange boats, raised station and a backwards drop. The attention to detail in the theming isn't quite as good, but it is still a really good water ride.

Another example of some of the great theming in this area.

This is a ride I stopped to do, despite being pushed for time. It looks like a Polyp ride, one of my favourite family thrill rides. What I didn't realise is this one doesn't have any spinning cars so it's nowhere near as good as any of the other Polyps I've ridden.

Next to the castle is another Disney influenced ride, the flying Elephant ride, although that's not exactly an uncommon ride.
