Not For Sale Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 And for that, we must go someplace that Bryan could never go. Find that place, and we will be there. That place is called Ripley's.
SharkTums Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I think Adam should be invited to go with Erik to the grand opening celebration of Orlando Freestyle Hard Rock Thrill Park.
Electerik Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 And for that, we must go someplace that Bryan could never go. Â Church?
BarryH Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 ^Does this mean you are finally going to the Holy Land Experience? Better yet, send Bryan and Adam there!
Electerik Posted May 2, 2011 Author Posted May 2, 2011 ^Does this mean you are finally going to the Holy Land Experience? Better yet, send Bryan and Adam there! Â Now there is an attraction worthy of a true Erik & Smisty, Bryan & Adam Orlando All-Stars team-up! Â What do you say, guys?
milst1 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Your Ripley's was better than the one we visited in Blackpool. Nice report, especially the Bryan inclusion. I believe!
BarryH Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 ^^Yes, yes, yes, do the Holy Land Experience with four people! That is my dream as of...now.
vekoma_fan Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 When ever I think of Holy Land Experience I picture you guys going to Ned Flandes' Praiseland  Oh please go!!
jamesdillaman Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I never thought I'd share a dream with Barry. Wow.
scruffy Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I would like to see a Holy Land Experience All-Stars team-up.
SharkTums Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 As much as I don't like the idea of four people that I like giving Holy Land money...I agree the resulting Photo TR could be epic enough to warrant a slight overlook.
larrygator Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 As much as I don't like the idea of four people that I like giving Holy Land money...I agree the resulting Photo TR could be epic enough to warrant a slight overlook. Â But it is still free to the public one day a year, isn't it?
BarryH Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 ^It is. This year on free admission day, the park filled to capacity at around 9:30. People lined up as early as 7 am to get in free.
cfc Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 ^I might do that on "We'll pay you 50 bucks to visit us" day.
paiging_jen Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 ^That's what I'm thinking. Lightning might strike me dead if I entered that place. I would love to read a TR though!
BarryH Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 ^Here's mine from 2005.  http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1565&hilit=holy+land+experience  Let's see what will happen when athetists visit the Holy Land Experience.
Electerik Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 Let's see what will happen when athetists visit the Holy Land Experience. Â Obviously, I don't want to give these people any money. On the other hand, I'm even less interested in going there (or, really, anywhere) on special free day. But I do want to see it--both from a completest standpoint, and out of morbid curiosity. Â If I am going to do it though, I want to make sure that it's epic. So the team-up idea seems like a good way to help justify it. Smisty and Bryan are on board, but no word from Adam yet.
Electerik Posted May 7, 2011 Author Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) [Edit: Unfortunately, the physical Hula Dog (or, as it was later know, "Kona Dog") building has closed. However, they now apparently have a food truck!? -Erik] Â When it comes to food, I think it's safe to say that I'm a bit more "Oddventurous" than Smisty. So I ended up going to this next place by myself.... Â Hula Dog Located on I-Drive, near Wet 'n Wild, beneath a giant billboard advertising McDonald's (natch), Hula Dog offers "authentic Hawaiian-style hot dogs." I've never actually been to Hawaii, so I'm in no position to judge their authenticity. But Hula Dog was opened about three months ago by a guy who was stationed in Hawaii and apparently really liked their hot dogs. Help me, magic surf board! How does this work?? Below this are more boring ingredients you can get if you prefer your hot dogs a bit less Hawaiian. But what fun would that be? Ta-da! The bread is very soft, and pretty much covers the entire dog. What you see here cost me about $7.50. If I have a complaint, it's that the hours are a bit unpredictable. (I can't stand when a place is closed between "lunch" and "dinner.") But I guess you have to kind of expect that when it's just a couple of guys bootstrapping a new business and trying to do everything themselves. And, in any case, the hot dogs are really good! I don't get it. Edited June 11, 2012 by Electerik
gisco Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah for Hula Dog!. I ate at one in Hawaii last year. The stuff you can put on them is a little odd but good.
frozenflames Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 What exactly was on that hot dog? It looked somewhat decent. Anyway, Interesting find. I'm going to Universal over the summer, so maybe I'll have to check that place out.
