Discoveryland

On Sunday, we went to our local amusement park - Discoveryland. They have a cool log ride that you get really wet on. We didn't wait to go on it because the line was too long, but we watched people come down the chute instead...that was a mistake! Here is our video:



If you didn't figure it out we were behind a glass wall. The kids did decide to go into the splash zone, though, as you can see in our pictures.

Discoveryland is cute, you can tell it is trying really hard to be like Disneyland, but I don't think anyone can capture the Disney magic. It's laid out similar to Disney with "lands" and has some similarities that you can see in our pictures. It's a fun park - more like California Adventure or Six Flags. Lots of thrill rides for the older kids and adults. We had fun. We will go back again as it is less than a 5 minute drive from our house.

We had some great conversations with some locals - one a English teacher at a middle school in Dalian and a few young employees. We also had our share of people staring. One of these days I'm going to get a picture of someone staring at us.

Here are our pictures (double click to open the album):
