TR: Universal Orlando, October 19-23

[MummyAW]

I just got back from my fourth visit to Universal Orlando and my first visit to Halloween Horror Nights! On October 19, 2:06 P.M. (central time), my parents and I left for Universal. We stopped at a Hampton Inn in Lake City for the night, and reached our destination the next day at 10:00 A.M.ish and checked in at the Royal Pacific Resort. As soon as we entered IOA, mom and I rushed for the Hulk Coaster, while my dad waited because he is always too chicken to ride Hulk sized coasters. Like usual, it was amazing. The airtime never let up, and the twists and turns were adrenaline pumping as always. I then rode it by myself. Rating for Hulk- The solid 5/5 Hulkster always earns from me.

After that, dad and I rode Spidey. This ride is awesome. It's no Hulk, but it is extremely mind blowing in its own way. Much better than the rip-off at BGW. Rating for Spider Man- 5/5

It was time to rest, so we ate at Cafe 4, which, IMO, serves the best pizza ever. We left for Suess Landing, slowly absorbing the always spectacular detail in MSHI. In SL, we all rode the High In the Sky Suess Trolley Train Ride. It was no biggie, but without doubt a very nice addition to SL.

Rating for High In the Sky Suess Trolley Train Ride (runs out of breath)- 3/5

 

More to come later.

It's about time for an update!

So anyway, my mom and I headed for Cat in the Hat.

it is a pretty decent dark ride, but nothing to make a big deal over.

Rating for Cat in the Hat- 3/5

Next, we all went to Posiedon's Fury. Amazing show. Creepy effects, great acting, and the water tunnel-awesome.

Rating for Poseidon's Fury- 5/5

Next, we stopped at Enchanted Oak for a drink, and mom and I headed for Dueling Dragons. We rode Ice first, followed by Fire. Dueling Dragons Ice was my first inverted, which is why DD is one of my favorite rides.

Rating for Dueling Dragons- 5/5

We then proceeded to Jurrassic Park River Adventure. It's a pretty decent ride. I like the falling crate and the spitting dinosaurs. It is not my favorite, but a must see ride nonetheless.

Rating for Jurrassic Park River Adventure- 4/5

Our final ride of the day would be Dudley, my favorite water ride in the park. I had not been on it since the rehab, so the new way the Express line was set up was very new to me.

Rating for Dudley Do Right- 5/5

 

Afterwards, it was time to retire to the Royal Pacific, followed by a meal at Hard Rock Cafe that evening.
