Disney Sea

It’s the most expensive Disney park ever created. That’s why they have one of the coolest attractions ever! The Ancient Galleon! Which has cannons and special quarters for the crew and cargo. Now it sounds awesome, I know, but the cannons shoot smoke! They’re aimed at the harbor in the center of the park, so you can shoot oncoming boats i.e. Gondolas and Steamboat Ferries. Unfortunately, none of these seafaring vehicles could be sunk, but they were scared out of their wits. I might have to call my Kraken. It really was cool though.

They also have Journey to the Center of the Earth. This is easily the best ride there. It starts out slow like the Dinosaur ride at Knott’s, but at the end, before you get eaten by a giant (liquid hot) magma alien bug, the car launches forward like one of those car chases on COPS. It’s pitch black during this until you hit a peak and then fly down a huge drop. A+ (A PRUS).

Disney Sea is also home to the most diverse flavored popcorn I’ve ever eaten. Salt, Caramel, Chocolate, Strawberry, Cappuccino, Black Pepper, and good old fashioned Butter. They even have a special flavor next to the submarine ride, Seaman popcorn. We ate all but the butter and seaman/salt ones throughout the day. And I can say this with all the honesty of a guy who goes to Disneyland just to watch kids and touch himself, that the food there is much better than any Disney Park I’ve been to.

Cultural Note:

1. Kraken – (Kray-Ken) – An ancient monster squid, which hunts Sperm…whales and ships.
2. Dinosaur Ride at Knott’s – One of the oldest rides at Knott’s Berry Farm Theme Park. Based on H.G. Wells’ novella “The Time Machine.”
3. Liquid hot magma – Only the hottest substance known to man. Hotter than the sun, and ugly girls when you’re drunk.
