Universal Studios - Orlando
Sunday, January 07, 2007
After a 5 hour ride from Miami in our SUV that looked like a pimped up Toyota Venture, we finally arrived in Orlando. We were only there for 3 days and we had bought passes for Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure which are a couple of miles from the other Disney resorts which we decided not to see.
Universal was very cool, the rides were pretty lame but the whole theory behind it was interesting. There are so many shops and places selling toys that if I ever see a sponge bob toy again I might mini-puke. We pretty much finished all the big rides in Universal in the first day as the queues were tiny. The best rides were definately Jaws and Shrek 4D - I love donkey.
Islands of Adventure was much more exciting with more rollercoasters and rides. We first went on the Hulk and waited in the queue to sit in the front row which was worth the wait. All the other rides were fun, I thought it would be more exciting but to be honest with you, you get over it really quickly. Still great to have gone though.
