Sea Paradise 3/3: Pleasure Land

5 11 2008

Pleasure Land are the rides in Sea Paradise.

Blue Fall
Blue Fall is the best amongst all rides in Sea Paradise. Its is a free fall simulator… The tower raises you on a seat up to 107 meters.. and then it lets u fall down in free fall… for a moment there is no contact between you and the seat and you will go screaming down. There are two variety of seats on this ride. One throws you down in free fall for some time and then stops.. and as soon as u catch half ur breath back… it then falls down again to the ground and just few meters above the ground it stops u. The other one doesnt stop at all and falls directly to the ground and breaks only meters before it hits the ground. The ride pumps the adrenaline to enormous heights before it ends.
Know-me and me first took this ride and then we got out.. gave camera to one of the tourist on ground (he was from Philippines) and asked him to make our video… while we again went in the queue and took the ride again (there were no long queues… so it was no hassle unlike Disney world). And this one is the best ride of all in Sea Paradise.

Aqua Ride
Aqua ride is a floating ride in twisting and turning tunnel made of water. The boat itself has no power of its own .. its just a floating circular cart and the waves and streams are forced to take you round and round.. with water splashing all around you.

Surf Coaster
What would a theme park be without a roller coaster… and thus here it is another one. but this ones called Surf Caoster as half of this is built on ground while rest of half is in water.. which looks pretty cool. Teh ride is thrilling with circular loops and dangerous dives. But Know-me and me were now enjoying it casually and not getting afraid like in old coasters… cuz I think we have quite grown to the risk of taking these rides; as if we now know that these things cannot kill us and thus takign away the secure and just enjoying a “cruising” ride.

WE hadnt eaten lunch till now as we wanted to do the coaster and blue fall before we eat something (vomiting fear.. hehe!). So, after getting down from coaster we went to the benches near by the shore and ate lunch there. Know-me had brought egg sandwich while I had made potato samosa (rectangular shaped ones :P ) and cutless. So, we ate the lunch and then moved on to next less dangerous endeavors.

Viking Ship
A typical ship everyone is used to in regular joy lands too. Since rest of rides looked mroe childish so this one we did take as it had slightly more thrill when the ship goes in near 90 degree position… so we did sit on it and enjoyed a lot.

Peter Pan / Octupus / Red Baron / Drunken Barrel
These rides were less and less thrilling and more accustomed for younger audience.. and although we had the free all day pass.. yet taking these rides held no amusement for us. and thus we just passed by.

Boating
Boating here is different than any other.. cuz normally wht u get in boating is pedaling or seldom oaring. but here u get a motor boat… and it is not designed in a horizontal form.. but a circular form.. makign the boat go round and round more than in a straight path. Although u have to learn to control the speed and titl of direction and u can make it go smooth.. but one over twist and you will be going in circles for quite sometime.
Know-me and me didnt take it when we first went by it as we were interested in taking other rides first… but on our way back we did go here and go in seperate boats (althu their boat is made for two people).. but we had our individual passes so we want individual boats too!!! And this was the only ride where we had to stand in a long queue to get our turn.

Sega Carnival
This is a regular arcade which you can find anywhere. We went in here right before going to blue fall… and I also wasted by 200 Y on a stupid prize machine with Stich stuffed toy. There was one toy real close to the exit mouth, so i though i could easily grab it and throw it in… but those cheaters had put it there intentionally… and the cranes trajectory never moves over that path… and thus it all went to waste.

WATCH VIDEO

Paradise Tower
Paradise tower is a high rise tower like Blue fall.. but here you are sitting in a revolving and rising up restaurant type room… which gives you a view of all the beautiful island. You should really see the video to view all the island in a glimpse.

WATCH VIDEO

Flower Garden
Ok this one is NOT a ride.. but a small garden up a hill. you have to climb a series of stairs to reach this high point and find a beautiful garden up there.

So, this was it.. we were free by 4:00 PM and then we started to make our way back to home. By 5:00 PM I was inside my room.. and dead tired.. so instead of forcing myself.. I went to sleep and was awake by 8:00 PM with my energy restored. Sea Paradise had been a beautiful expereience. If you go there by expectations of rides and thrills of Disney Land then you would be disappointed as it is not a theme park but a marina with beautiful location and yachts and sea… and if u enjoy tht part of nature then it really is a paradise.
