The Eastern Discovery Tour
Day 5

After doing the Water Park's Amusement Park, I walked South through the gardens to Tianjin Zoo. I hadn't spotted anywhere to eat in the Water Park, but found a food court with a nice range of food just inside the zoo's entrance.

The zoo itself has it's own amusement park, containing mostly kids rides. It includes this that doubles as a carousel and a ticket office.

The decorations aren't on the same level as Tianjin Water Park, but a nice effort has been made.

Sadly I was to big to find out if this pirate ship has the same floaty weightless feeling other Chinese Pirate ships have.

There are a few rides suitable for adults as well, such as this set of Dodgems.

This is a kids roundabout, themed as a Chinese rickshaw. Why didn't more Chinese parks have a ride like this?

A brightly coloured paratrooper ride. Adults can ride it, but it seems an appropriate fit for a kids park.

The main reason I went is because after I spotted the roller coaster at the Water Park, someone else spotted this roller coaster in Tianjin Zoo.

Of course after missing out on 4 roller coasters, after finding out Tianjin Amusement Park had been turned in to a building site it would be frustrating to come across another one in a derelict state.

Luckily!
As you might expect this ride is a bit of a rough bone shaker, it makes up for this though by being manically fast, making it a mad and memorable experience.
