Le Blog 9 / 10: Adventure Isle

Postby Gary » 04 Mar 2011, 10:08

Le Disney does not do things by half.

Playing pirates for me as a kid meant sitting in a cardboard box and imagining I was on a ship at sea.

No need for cardboard boxes at DLP. Certainly not in the playground that is Adventure Isle anyway.

The North section of Adventure Isle has pirates at the heart of its theme.

Yes, there is the wonderful Pirates of the Caribbean ride..

Image

..but there is also Spy Glass Hill, Davy Jones' Locker, Skull Rock, Benn Gunn's cave with its six entrances and the excellent playground that is Dead man's maze.

Image

For those not in a hurry to get elsewhere you could if you wanted to, spent ages here exploring the mysterious network of caves, turning corners and walking past small openings where water tumbles down from rocks above.

A playground within a playground within a Theme Park.
Please pass through the turnstiles if you are riding again.
