![]() ![]() ![]() Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent, and, furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya within the columns of Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia. This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean. For these histories tell of a mighty power which, unprovoked, made an expedition against the whole of Europe and Asia, and to which your city put an end. But one of them exceeds all the rest in greatness and valour. “Many great and wonderful deeds are recorded of your state in our histories. – “I Need You To Imagine” Podcast Extras (B|S|G|P).Dry Disney: Walt’s Anti-Booze “Tradition”.S.E.A.: Society of Explorers & Adventurers.The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management.The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (Orlando).The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (California).20,000 Leagues Under the Sea – Submarine Voyage.Never knowing what’s around the next corner, plummeting 60 feet to the ground and the addition of extraordinary special effects have created one of the most amazing rides that you can imagine.īeware you can get very wet……….but it’s well worth it. This really is the ultimate adventure ride, travelling by water and on rails, being pursued by spirits who want to keep possession of Atlantis and who will take you prisoner at any cost. Then gliding through the darkness our vessel picks up speed and suddenly we are riding the rails of a roller coaster thundering down a 55-degree incline, lurching to the left, rolling to the right, and finally exploding out into light of day….free at last!! Inside the dark confines of the temple once again a ferocious 60-foot dive sends us splashing into the lagoon below….and still the ride continues.Īnother climb brings us to what appears to be a candlelit temple devoted to the evil spirits. ![]() We escape by a second climb upwards with only hidden water jets to contend with at the top of the ascent. Instead of disembarking, as you would expect, the journey continues around a bend and a sheet of floodwater virtually engulfs our small vessel. Those at the front take the brunt of the soaking… and just as those at the back of the boat smugly think they have got away with it, a barrage of water bombs erupt from the watching crowds. High up above is the evil spirit, projected in the form of a snarling, hissing, growling mask, and we find ourselves enshrouded in a heavy mist as our boat climbs steeply towards an almost vertical drop. Our boat suddenly turns and we are in a different world. We board our craft and glide effortlessly along a tranquil waterway where the clever use of lasers and holographs helps create the illusion of a magical land dotted with fountains and starry skies. As you walk through the “village”, overhead monitors feature an old Greek fisherman who warns of evil spirits and impending doom and pleads for us to keep out….but of course we don’t!! The storyline takes us to the ancient city of Atlantis, which has erupted from its watery grave. Little did we know what to expect, but the ride designers have excelled themselves by combining the very best in thrills and excitement. Our initial reaction when heading for Journey at Atlantis at Seaworld was that we were about to sample another water-chute ride.
