On Saturday, I went to Disneyland Paris. This was a last minute decision, because I was originally planning to go to Bordeaux until the trip was canceled. The thrill rides in the park were good, and the wait times were not bad for the most part thanks to the Fast Pass system used in the park.
It was raining a bit and cloudy most of the day, so I don’t have many good pictures. It was a very nice park though with lots to see. You would probably need two or three days to actually see and do everything.
Indiana Jones roller coaster.
Star Tours. This was a spaceship simulation with a huge movie screen and chairs that move.
Pirates of the Caribbean. This was a fairly easy ride (not shown in picture), as there wasn’t even straps to hold you in. No one would jump out of their seat though, since there is only water around.
Phantom Manor (Haunted Mansion in North America). This was actually a ride, and it’s not really in the house itself. When entering, an elevator takes you downstairs to a conveyor belt with seats on it to show you various things relating to the movie.
Mickey, of course.
More pictures in my gallery. I wish I had more indoor shots, but they just didn’t turn out as the flash wouldn’t do much, and the lighting is of course bad in dimly lit rides.
Next time, I will talk about my visit to Futuroscope with interesting surroundings and architecture as well, although no real extreme rides.
Can’t wait to hear about Futuroscope….
