Tokyo DisneySea: The Most Amazing Disney Park Ever? (Part 2)

Having explored Mediterranean Harbour at the park's entrance, the American Waterfront to the left and then Port Discovery, it's now time to continue clockwise through the park. The next area you come to is Lost River Delta and, if you've ever been to Universal's Islands of Adventures in Orlando, you'll instantly feel at home here, as it's got the same feel to it as the Jurassic Park area in that park. This is home to uncharted waters and lost temples, and the theming continues to be superb. You really feel as if you've headed into the deepest of jungles. It's a perfect setting for the Indiana Jones Adventure. There aren't many rides at this park that have come from other Disney theme parks, but this is one of them. It's pretty much a clone of the Disneyland ride, although I found it more intense and jerky.

This area of the park is home to thrill rides, as the other draw here is Raging Spirits, a looped roller coaster. Again, it's a bit reminiscent of Islands of Adventures and their Dueling Dragons coaster with fire and ice, as this features both water and ice.

From an area with thrills aplenty, the next land you find at Tokyo DisneySea is the complete opposite and is designed for families. The theming of the Arabian Coast reminded us of the Morocco pavilion in Epcot, but on a much bigger and more lavish scale. This area really is as if you've stepped from one side of the world to the other, with Middle Eastern influences everywhere you look.
