Part Five

Cosmo World and Hakkeijima Sea Paradise

A super-cute ride with the vivid colors, the banana tree, the monkey face on the lead car, I'm glad they let us shoehorn our desperate asses in. And that name, come on.

FAMILY BANANA COASTER!

Right next door is a Disk-O, fast becoming one of my favorite flat rides.

Then we were led over to Cosmo World's ice house, clearly a more elaborate affair than the one at Hirakata. We're informed right on the entrance sign that the minimum temperature is -30 degrees Celsius, or -22 degrees Murican, damn chilly however you measure it.

This deep-freeze walkabout is remarkable, with some nifty ice carvings...

...and beautifully lit environments, like this frozen bar...

...and it's always Christmas in the ice house!
