The Eastern Discovery Tour
Day 5

The Water Park Amusement Park was a really pleasant surprise. This was a park that wasn't even on the roller coaster database until I spotted it on Google Maps, and reported it. Consequently I was expecting basically just a collection of fairground rides set up in the gardens for visitors. Instead it is a very pleasant, well themed mid sized park, with a very respectable ride line up.

One of the most popular rides was this well themed set of Dodgems.

The only downer was quite a few rides were not operating. I don't think I missed out on any must do's but it was still a large number of rides given it was a reasonably busy Saturday. Two of the rides I didn't get to do were a Frisbee ride, (which had a Western manufactures plate on it) and this ride known as a Huss Fly Away, that's like an enterprise with lye down flying style seats. There's one at Pleasureland Cleethorpes called Alakazam.

Just like amusement parks in the UK, the spinning mouse is a big favourite.

I think this was the best Chinese spinning mouse I did, although that could have been because the park was busy allowing the ride to warm up. It was definitely faster, than the other ones I tried with some nice bursts of air time on the hills.

I never got to try the Chinese Top Scan either, although they did have a technical crew on this trying to fix it, so it might have been going later in the day.

I did get to try their Chinese pirate ship. Like the one I did yesterday this one also disengages the wheel, creating a floaty weightless sensation at the top of the swings. I really want to see a British park do this.

I did have a slight moment of panic on this. Just after I sat down about 5 people in military uniforms came up the steps. For a second I was wondering what was going on, then they all sat down and pulled their restraints down.
This was a surprisingly intense and thrilling version of the Miami ride.

The most popular ride at the park, going by queue length was this one. It's a roundabout style ride, where you can shoot the statue in the centre with soft rubber balls from an air gun on the pods.
