"Nearly Empty CosmoWorld in Strong Winds" (100313-1423)
A look around from the upper level at the mini-amusement park CosmoWorld, including of the tracks (painted pink) of the overpriced, boring 'Diving Coaster - Vanish' roller coaster, whose sole redeeming quality is that it dives down through a hole in a pond. But even that is boring from the ride itself, so it's more interesting (and you don't have to waste Y700) to watch it do so from the side, where it actually looks (a little bit) like it's going into the pond. If you *do* decide to ride this mini-roller coaster, be sure to hide your camera until the thing is about to start down the first hill, as otherwise they actually shut the thing down as it's beginning to climb the hill, and send out rude people to steal the riders' cameras! I had this happen to me and it was quite an unpleasant experience (people go to an amusement park to have fun, not to be treated badly). I tried giving the very rude man just the battery, but he insisted on stealing the camera. I did get it back after the ride - with a big greasy fingerprint in the middle of the monitor screen. If they're going to insult people and steal their personal property, they could at least be more careful with it....
Interestingly, the "Cliff-Drop" water log ride is actually pretty good - and vastly better than the ripoff that the mini-roller coaster is. The log ride has good views, and two hills that you get to slide down.
