Among the parks in Japan, Disneyland and DisneysSea are two that visitors especially enjoy. While there are many rides to enjoy at Disneyland, there are a few that a lot of people enjoy at DisneySea. Splash ountain is a water ride that gets those riding it wet when they are going down the drops in the ride. There is also a space ride called Starters. It is so cool because there is a screen that takes people’s pictures and the screen also looks like it is flying in space. There are also fun rides at DisneySea too. Indiana Jones is a little bumpy ride that takes people through a tunnel and they can share the excitement of Indiana Jones’ Adventures. Another ride called Journey To The Center Of The Earth is a roller coaster that takes people through fire and goes around a huge volcano! Both Disneyland and DisneySea are really wonderful to visit.
