Disney 8/8: Mysterious Island

20 11 2008

At the center of Disney Sea is mysterious island which is a HUGE volcano. It is impressive from outide ofcourse but it is a LOT MORE impressive from inside.

The volcano area
The volcano is tripple layered choclate desert of Disney Sea. From outside it is huge mountain with lava burnt rocks outside. The chimney gives out smoke and roaring thunder all throughout the day and night.

The middle layer is caves inside the volcano. There are ways that lead to all other areas of Dinsye sea from this central location.

While the third layer is inside the volcano core and in this circular platform you can see water down below, sky above and beautified props all around. From water fall to a drilling machine stuck in the cave making a partial hole which is visible from the inside the caves.

We took the two rides here at very different times. First ride was at our lunch time and second ride was last big ride just before leaving as our Fast Pass time was of night. But I am putting both rides together as u have seen that I am arranging the posts not by time but my areas of Disney Sea.

20,000 Leagues under the sea

Those who know this would also know that 20,00 leagues is very old era stories relating to sci-fi technology under the sea. And all the ships and artwork of theirs was somewhat like an artists imagination of how future designs would be if the artist was living in 1940s. the ride itself was also a tribute to that art style with a cart ride in an deep sea vehicle.

We had to stand a very long time in this queue and to worsen the things the ugly looking couple in front of us in the queue were getting all cozy and intimate with each other. Khan and I called them “RATS”.. cuz tht how much their size and shape was.. both of them.. and Khan was getting pised at the fact tht look at ur faces and look at this public place where u r trying to show-off. and i was laughing all the way tht why Khan was even bothering to look at them if they disturb him so much. We also took our lunch in the queue. I had brought rice and haleem.. so we ate that while waiting.

Finally we got on the ride .. but Khan was already pissed by then.. and his mood had changed so he didnt enjoy the ride even because of the rats and the long queue we had to suffer. but to me the technicality was the beauty. They had given the feel of a submersed underwater vechiles with fish and aliens floating in water.. seaweed waving in water… and yet there was no water at all. The vehicle had water and air bubbles inside its sight glass. And the robotic objects were moving slow just as you would expect someone to swim in water.

Journey to center of earth
This was most attractive looking ride from afar as this coaster ride took us on a trip inside teh valcona and then dropped people from the top of it. That is why we preferred to take its fast pass as it ensured that we would get a turn. The pass was of 9:20 PM and the park closes at 10:00.. so we knew this would be last (big) ride for us. The ride took us through treasures and land of colorful creatures and frozen water and fire and everything they could find and in the last.. a GIANT insect type creature attacked and the ride became faster and started to loop through pitch dark towards teh top. and in far we saw a lil smoke and when we came out of smoke.. it was finally light.. and we were on top of the volcano and then it dropped us down from outside the volcano.. taking us then to the end of the ride; with big stupid and scary smiles on our face.
