The Alley Of Dreams

              Sorry I was gone for a little while. I had a crazy summer. Recently i took a trip with a few friends to the new Diagon Alley at Universal studios. I had waited forever to get in and knew everything to know about the place. We went in june based on rumors floating around but were denied access to enter. The opening of DA was that wednesday. We were there sunday. Now that i was able to enter, i was blown away. Walking in was amazing and everything was on a much bigger scale then it seems from the videos. We went straight to Gringotts and (since we had early admission) only had a thirty minute wait. The ride was incredible. Everything was more intense (coaster wise) than Forbidden Journey and was less intense scare wise. Just a heads up it is a motion coaster. Something never before seen. After Gringotts we walked around using the new interactive wands. They work great! Butterbeer ice cream was amazing! It tasted like frozen whipped crea with butterscotch mixed in. Its a great cool down treat. The potions were delicious and very fun to make.  The fishy green ale was not as good and tasted kind of like mouthwash. Bleh. The Hogwarts express was fun and extremely conveniant when getting from park to park. We were able to get both parks in both days. All in all, Diagon alley was amazing. The food was great, the scenery incredible, and the rides outstanding. Thanks for reading, stay tuned.

Sorry Guys

Hey, I know i haven't posted in a while so here's something. Recently i went on a trip with my band to Universal Orlando. We spent the day at Islands of Adventure and the rest of the night at Wet n' Wild. The islands were fun as always and we were able to go on most of the rides. The Hogsmede train station is practically waiting for guests to enter. A dragon was seen last Sunday being installed into Gringotts, this was the final step in construction. The icing on the cake. The spiderman ride now includes a slightly more interactive queue as family pictures are taken as a "Daily Bugle Volunteer reporter" and clues of the Sinister Syndicate (The bad guys in the ride) are posted on computers. As a big fan of the comics, I connected with this and the characters. Most actors for Cap or Spidey have very good backgrounds of the comics. For example, me and my friend went up to Cap and shouted Hail Hydra. He exclaimed that if we turned to Shield, we wouldn't be allowed in as he doesn't want to risk another "Zola" incident. This was very funny. Wet n' Wild passed my expectations as all of their rides were very fun. Bomb bay was exceptionally scary to board but very easy once the floor dropped out. Disco H2O was even more fun than i expected and Brain Wash was equally weird. I did not get to try the Blast, Mach 5, or Storm. I hope to try these one day. Thanks for reading and lets hope these notes help you.

Is New That Cool?

          The new Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom is a fun place to ride rides and have lunch, but is it all that good? I visited this place with my family not too long ago and here's what happened. we were in line to get on the new Little Mermaid attraction when suddenly the line stopped. We waited  for about forty five minutes before we were told to exit. This happened at one and when we came back eat four thirty, it was still broken. I asked the man running the ride how long it would be until he could fix it and he told me nothing but to go have a snack at the village. This especially upset me. We also spent a night at Halloween Horror Nights while we were there. This was the least upsetting part of my trip as it fit my expectations perfectly. Videos make this event seem terribly horrifying even though it was easy to handle. The haunted houses were amazing and the scare-actors were spotted easily if you were searching hard. I found as many as i wanted and still got a little frightened in every house. This event was truly spectacular and you should go if you have the courage.

The Architect's Paradise

If you love to build like an architect and love theme park attractions, then move your lazy computer reading butt right over to Lego Land Florida. This place has got rides, shows, delightful eateries, and fun for the whole family. Bored in line for a ride? Then just Build, Build, Build with Lego brick sets right in the queue line.Afraid of a bad photo? No problem thanks to their Photo Alert! signs. The only bad part of this park is the sub-shop in the creation zone. This shop takes a half hour just to make one sub and then screws up your order. I recommend eating at Granny's Apple Fries, The Market Restaurant, or Cap'n Brick beards Burgers. Last but not least, see their amazing water ski show including a pirate ship that was designed by a Lego pirates set. This is located near the Cypress Gardens nature Walk. I'll see ya in Lego Land!

The Outsider

 The Outsider stands for a park outside of Orlando, in Tampa. Look, I know i haven't posted for a while, yeah, yeah whatever. I'm a kid! So I wanted to tell you about Busch Gardens, its a great park. Its like Disney and Universal combined into one.Some of my friends call it a SeaWorld rip-off but IT IS NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So maybe its an African themed park with lots of animals, but just because sea world is ocean themed and this is animal themed, doesn't mean its a rip-off ! It has 4 huge roller coasters and other smaller rides that are just as fun. One is the all new Cheetah hunt, a highly anticipated, launched coaster with 400 feet of track. its the best coaster I've  ever been on. You can locate it near the front of the park, near the backside of the Crown Colony restaurant. You will see a large temple with a display of cheetahs on the other side. It is as good as eating an ice cream sundae, going down a water-slide, while drinking a chocolate milk shake. Thank you :)

Somewhere Else

In this post i would like to tell you about where to go in Islands of adventure, which is located in Universal Studios Orlando. This park is totally for thrill seekers, which I'm one. If you really want the good juicy old-fashioned real thrill roller coasters, then you're probably looking for Marvel superhero island. This is home to: The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman, Doctor Doom's Fear Fall, Storm Force Acceletron, and best for last: The Incredible Hulk Coaster. If you're looking for family fun, then try the Spiderman ride, A 3D motion simulator that also goes on a track, making it move in two ways.If you're a spin addict then try Storm Force, a similar to the mad tea party ride that plays rock music as you spin. It's an X-men themed ride. If you love shoot up drop towers, then you'll love Doctor Doom's Fear Fall,and you can probably guess what this ride is on your own.And last, DEFENITLY  BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE YOU SHOULD ALWAYS GO ON THE INCREDIBLE  HULK COASTER! The Incredible Hulk Coaster is a powered launch coaster that sends guests 0-60 in about 3 seconds, it's an awesome experience for the whole family. Thank you for reading today's post.

First Things First

Hello, and welcome to the very first post of my blog! I am using this blog to ensure you of the best and not so good of Orlando parks such as, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando, Seaworld, and Busch Gardens Tampa.Well, firstly, try to avoid Ridemakerz and Hagen Das!!! Why you may ask? Because  I went to Ridemakerz and tried to make an RC monster truck, all that worked was the sound.The crew that was helping us went through about 4 different bodies and 2 different chassies.So there you have it, try to avoid it. Next i would like to say that their Hagen Das sells OVERLY expansive chocolate milk shakes.So all in all,Ridemakerz and Hagen Das aren't  the very best attractions in orlando.One of the VERY best attractions in Disney World's Magic Kingdom  is  .  .  .
               The Haunted Mansion
                     This ride's got it all! Humor, Music, Incredible effects, and,.....     GHOSTS?

You may get scared as you approach the entrance but don't worry, it's totally less creepy on the inside, Unless you're like my scared by anything sister who actually thinks its creepy. If you want to be less scared on the inside, then take the interactive scenic queue, which reveals more of the up beat fun inside of it. On the other hand if you take the regular short queue, which doesn't reveal anything, you might as well get scared. Once you enter the round room with the  portraits of a bunch of people get prepared, because they don't prepare you there selves,  they pre-scare you.Once you hear,"well of course, there's always MY way" get ready for when the lights go out  and the kids hanging by their necks from the sealing appear, then you move on to the happy cheerful spooks part of the ride, and 3 surprising ghost brothers who like to hitchhike at the end. Thank you for reading my blog and good-bye.
