zeke11793 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 So last saturday I went to IOA with my mom and my cousin. This was my first time going to IOA, so That was pretty cool. But I couldn't really get all the credits.... because of the stupid rain.... But anyway..... onto the pictures! My mom's awesome car we went to Orlando in Gotta have my coffee VEGGIES Nerd moment! If you look at the bottom, the train isn't even connected to the track! And that track is Griffon track too!! LOL see! Yay! We're near Orlando! Hidden Mickey? Of course we HAD to hit bad traffic... Yay for signs that are unreadable! I really wanted to go to Seaworld, considering that I still need my Kraken credit That is a big McDonalds 'Light bulbs unlimited' We got to the hotel! Yea we were on the top floor! LOL Our room was pretty big The hotel even had this cool little arcade room MYSPACE PIC! I was getting excited But these clouds stayed over Orlando for 2 days.... leaving BAD rain See? But I had my coffee to drink The view was pretty awesome at night Even at 12 I got my coffee! The next day... Morning! Ready to head off to IOA! I need my coffee.... and maybe a little extra energy Waiting for the bus that will take us to the park (btw smoking is BAD) There it is! There wasn't alot of people on it, which is good... But this shows how nasty the windows were.... We're here! Yay! To the LEFT! Awesomeness! And LMAO at the chick at the bottom of the picture! I see something I like... The entrance! You gotta take the picture whenever you go Awesome theming "We're getting closer, I can hear the B&M roar" Closer! Oh yea! awesomeness! The Hulk was awesome in the front row Loopage This was my first launched coaster, and I really enjoyed the launch Sexy Cobra roll Thanks to my mom for taking this awesome picture It was pretty big It's just so awesome looking! Ooh artsy shot! Next was Spider-Man. It was cool. 75 minutes? I think not. We went to the single rider line, and all 3 of us got on the same car anyway Spider-Man stares at you with the EYES OF DEATH I wanted to get on this, but when we were gonna ride it, it was raining... This was a cool area of the park Horton! Theming "One fish two fish red fish blue fish....." Hand-held? "Now introducing the iBaby...." LMAO at the guy in the ridiculous costume I found this funny for some reason Another necessary picture GRR Mythos! That was an awesome restaurant, and the food was really good Theming Do I see more B&M sexiness? Oh yea!! Dueling Dragons! "My what big teeth you have!" Loopage This was an awesome part Immelmann goodness This part was really awesome on both, in the front row After DD we went to Poseidon's fury It was a pretty cool show "Don't press the big red button!" This was the last picture I took with my camera. (inside Mythos) THEN IT DIED BUT It started to rain then. Really bad. If you looked outside of the window in Mythos (above picture) while it was raining, you couldn't see The Hulk or Dr. Doom's Fear Fall at all. Then the thunder and lightning came. Tht's when everything shut down. And nothing opened the rest of the day, except shows. But I was happy that I was lucky enough to get the Hulk and both Dueling Dragons credits in the front... So that was my trip to Islands of Adventure! Thanks for reading!
sfotkid Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 In the picture you have explaining the dirty windows, Is that waterslide like the one at SFHH in Texas? Nice Tr though.
Pufferfish Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Nice TR, glad you had a good time. It sucks it rained on you though. Hopefully you can go back sometime soon and get what you missed.
sfotfreak Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 In the picture you have explaining the dirty windows, Is that waterslide like the one at SFHH in Texas? No i think thats at wet n wild?
freestylenut Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Nice TR. I swear, as an AP holder, I've been to IOA a MILLION times & never noticed Horton up on that peak! BTW, I like your mom's car. I have a 2006 Scion XB and wish I would've waited for the newer redesigned model.
thrillrideseeker Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Great TR!! You had a lot of good Hulk photos!! Oh and HAHAHA you hit the I-4 Traffic, going 5 mph! How long were you stuck in the traffic? ~Matthew
zeke11793 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 ^ We had to be in that traffic for at LEAST 30 minutes... Oh and thanks for the comments!
sfmmrules! Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Will the Dueling Dragons stay open for the rest of this year? I might go. I can't go to IOA with them closed!
zeke11793 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 ^ From what I hear from the people I still keep in touch from when I used to work at Dragons/Unicorn.. Dragons will be shutting down for 2 months prior to the open of Potter. So.. over a year away.. Unicorn on the other hand is apparently rumored to be closing down sometime this summer, and WONT reopen until Potter. I think if you make it to IOA this year, you'll be able to hit Dragons.
AllenA07 Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 ^You drink a lot of coffee! Nice TR though, too bad for the rain.
NINCUB Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Great TR! Oh this brings back memories when I practically lived in Orlando in 2004! I took off like half a summer from work and went on a fun-filled sebbaticle with a psycho bf (thankfully ex-psycho bf)! We were actually looking to relocate there. I rode Hulk so many times... OMG! Some days we went it was soo busy and then other days not too bad. I loved DD.... to me it is extremely scary and fun at the same time. Front row is completely terrifying as it appears you are going to hit the other train head on or with your feet! (I would squeal just a little each time) :0) Oh and BTW your room window faced where we stayed most of our time in Orlando, Crowne Royal Hotel which is awesome. We got a room for like 69 bucks a night through Hotwire.com. We would find a good rate and move to another Hotel.... kinda fun.... kinda sad.... long crappy story with rollercoasters! Anyway great TR! :0)
ETapley0687 Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 That was a great TR!!! I love Orlando... especially IOA! lol Road trip!!!
zeke11793 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 ^ Lol I loved DD.... to me it is extremely scary and fun at the same time. Front row is completely terrifying as it appears you are going to hit the other train head on or with your feet! (I would squeal just a little each time) Lol yea I got to ride both in the front, and seeing those people comin' towards you is pretty awesome. ^You drink a lot of coffee! Yea I pretty much run on coffee. Thanks for the awesome comments!
