Hanno's picture of the day

[Moose]

I guess log flumes are always fun. especially when they have water guns (giant soakers) for the people watching This was at Window of the World during the 2012 China trip

 

At least with purchase of the ponchos we got 6" square "towels" so we could dry off.

[arby]

I love log flumes and I love those shots. Great pics as always, Hanno!

[gisco]

Poncho on a water ride? Whats the point?

[beatle11]

^That's Chinese water. I'd probably wear a poncho too.

[cfc]

^Hell, you should wear a hazmat suit with an oxygen tank.

^ Or a mini version of the boat of Super Splash at Kijima Kogen?

Like this one?

Dang those boats were not water proof at all

skloosh

almost looks like they are begging to be released

Why is the boat enclosed?

So you don't get wet!

They knew Dan was coming.

I love those things! Totally WTF?!? There's a video of us in one of them, you pretty much get chest slammed on impact

It's a water ride, but it's not. WTF seems like a good way to describe it.

 

[kidcoaster 2]

Those are always so funny to see! I wonder how well they would go over here?

[gerstlaueringvar]

Yeah! That's what I'm talking about. All Chinese water rides need this kind of boat.

Figured as much but then what's the use of the "water" ride to being with?

It is so you don't get wet in the cooler months of the year. The cover comes off in the Summer. With the cover you now have a water ride that can be used all year round. Got it?

I believe these pictures are from my 2010 visit.

Universal Studios Islands of Adventure

Harry Potter..

 

Thinking back about that ride.. once.. never again.. it had been a while since I've felt so sick on a ride..

[beatle11]

Great pics again. I'm not really into the whole Harry Potter thing, but they made the area look pretty good.

[cfc]

^^Forbidden Journey really got my stomach the first time, too. Spider-man is still the best ride at IOA.

 

Great pictures of Potterland, though, Hanno.

[Mrlittle]

I'm not a big fan of the Forbidden Journey ride either but I do love the area.

[simon8899]

I think Forbidden Journey is fun and quite family friendly. At Legoland I've seen and felt what you can really do with those Kukas.

[MayTheGForceBeWithYou]

^Some of those cycles are utterly insane and forceful. I almost thought I popped a blood vessel in my brain at moments!

What gets me is the ride system combined with the videos (just like the old-school simulators in that regard). I prefer the rooms with the physical effects (such as the dragon and the Dementors).

[matteocrepaldi]

Nice photos! I didn't like the Forbbiden Journey, my expectations were a bit different.

I admit that the ride system is pretty cool!

[Hhappy]

Time to go back in time (just a tiny bit)

PortAventura opened a new coaster a while back..

Shambhala

 

Looking forward to going back to the park and riding a bit more
