I really appreciate coasters that are designed to be nearly as entertaining for bystanders as they are for riders. Well done, Cosmo World!
And they went the extra mile inside the subaquatic passageway, too, with a few colored lights. Nothing grandiose, but you get a bit of a visual thrill in there.
And after the big dive-and-splash-and-vanish, there's this fairly intense helix, a very cool surprise.
Round and round, the g-forces pile on. Thumbs up!
After ticking off the three major thrill rides in the main section of the park, we moved on to an adjunct wing, the "Burano Street Zone," where there are some flat rides, one more credit, and three walk-throughs, one of them nice and scary, Woo-Hoo!
Note that Cosmo World has a very rare Giant Enterprise/Skylab, pictured above. I used to love Enterprises. The GE wasn't open for us; it was just testing when I snapped that shot. But it was great to see that they are keeping it alive as only a handful are left.
Here's Robb and Mr. Kitagawa welcoming us to the BSZ. Check out the expression on Robb's face... does he know something we don't? Sure looks that way. I wonder what it could be...
The Family Banana Coaster (!!!) is clearly not designed for full-sized adults, so it was one per car, with the tallest among us forced to ride side-saddle. |
