Tired of drinking games at Florida State, I decided to take a short weekend trip to Orlando to check out some of the new stuff going in to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Hollywood Rockit is looking pretty awesome, and Harry Potter is looking, well, building-ish (although the area around Potter it is changed considerably). Have a look-a-see
PS - This is my first trip report, so please excuse the invevitable screwups!
and to finish, a look at the Hollywood Rockit from across the lake
this almost-loop reminds me of that former piece of crap at Santa's Village in IL, but I am sure this one will be smooth
some kind of lord of the rings float was sitting outside the universal main entrance. anyone know what this is all about?
hollywood rockit, as seen from blue man group entrance
such a big coaster for such a little man
the coaster is instantly noticeable from the main entrance
the brake run stretches right over the abandoned nick area (we see you hulk)
this grass is so doomed
the new amphitheatre looks great
rockit peeks over building to check out the new theatre
follow instructions
and more
rockit by twister
this looks kind of sexy, if you're into steel
and again
hollywood rockit soars over the tribune building
silly birds
waka waka
the birds do not appear to approve of wasserman's contributions to the universal franchise
the birds decided to decorate the statue this plaque speaks of
much has changed
a harry potter themed construction wall, spared no expense
even the fine print is themed
magical legal jargon
the temporary(?) bridge around the potter construction area
who bombed the enchanted oak?
poor flying unicorn is going to need therapy after all of these changes
this building is huge
brick theming
harry poter is in there
and again

i know it's been taken 1,000 times, but there is something about hulk from this angle that begs to be photographed
