Orlando


Next stop Orlando!! Home to theme parks.... Our holiday house was nice except Calli found a suspectios stain on her sheets :(. Our first day was spent at Universal Studios and then across to the park adjoining it. Universal studios was Petty cool but most of the rides were just simulators or 4D movies. The Simpson's ride was pretty cool though, Was a cross between omni and a simulator of a roller coaster. The park next to it was called Adventure Island I think, it had the Hulk roller coaster which I rode a total of 6 times and also the Dueling Dragons which was a 2 coasters that wove in and out of each other! defiantly worth the extra wait to get on the front row, I think I rode each one 3 or 4 times each! Then there was the good ol log rides and a rapid ride. Each of them we ended up very very wet!!!

The next day we headed to Sea World. Rode the log ride there and Nate and I Sat at the front and got drowned! We then headed to the Kracken! Neil and I waited to go up front and it was worth it except for the fact that i lost my sunnies out of my pocket :( O well I have some new shinny ones now. Went and saw shamooooooo do her thing and again I was up front with Nate in the SOAK ZONE, needles to say we got soaked!
Straight after that we headed over to the water park next door Aquatica. It was a strange combination of Australian and New Zealand themes. The result was quite hilarious with all the announcements over the loud speakers. The coolest thing there by far was a "river" which was basically a loop pool taking some corners. You strapped on a life vest and just kept on floating round and around.
