Technically, my two-year anniversary will happen in early-mid December. āBut wait, that sounds wrong!ā I first found this forum in 2019 (I believe 1SC S5E2 was going on), but I was a 12 year old and didnāt bother to make an email (and thus, an account) until May of this year. In an AU, I probably wouldāve had an account on this forum for a year now, but this is not the case here.

Update on what Hulkās been up to lately.
I write this to you from within SeaWorld San Antonio, the final stop on a quick three park jaunt across the mighty state of Texas. I am out hunting roller coasters. I am focused on increasing my coaster credit count.
In late September Iāll be taking my very first trip to Orlando, where I will at last be 12 for 12 on Disney parks. (Magic Kingdom will be #12.) I will also be riding my 200th roller coaster at some point on the Orlando trip. I would very much like #200 to be Velocicoaster. Whoooo!

Meanwhile I only have 18 credits, and I still havenāt even been to the best park in my city (Six Flags New England, although itās in Mass, not RI) RI has literally no permanent coasters. The last coaster I rode in late june, but it was a dinky little dragon wagon at a carnival

I believe my coaster count is in the 20s?
In Miami we have the fair and Santas Enchanted Gorest so brings my count up to about five, albeit theyāre all off the shelf.
Ive ridden all 4 coasters at Seaworld Orlando, and 5 if you count Journey to Atlantis. Ive done all the coasters at Busch Gardens Tampa sans Skeikra so I believe thatās 7 more coasters. At Legoland Florida I rode 4 coasters although I donāt remember a lot of them.
At Universal Studios Orlando Iāve done all four of the coasters (Rockit, Mummy, Gringotts and Woddy Woodpecker) and all of the modern coasters at Islands of Adventure (Hulk, Velocicoaster, Hippogriff and Hagrids) adding 8 more to the count.
At Disney Iāve ridden all of the current rollercoasters (Thunder, Space, 7 Dwarfs, Goofy, Everest, Slinky and Rocknroller) adding an extra 7.
The final two were the sole two coasters I rode in Six Flags Atlanta about a decade ago.
This brings my total to 38! Thatās a lot more than I realized, and if include extinct coasters then 39 thanks to Primeval Whirl.

HULKāS TOP FOUR DISNEY DINING EXPERIENCES!
Dole Whips in the Enchanted Tiki Room, Disneyland
This is the sort of dining adventure, combining a unique treat with great themed entertainment, which you can only enjoy inside a theme park. Itās a very simple multi-sensory experience, tasting the flavor of the tropics while birdies serenade overhead. And itās one of the simplest Disney dining experiences to arrange, at least in Anaheim, where throughout the day whenever you get tired itās so easy to get into the pre-show Dole line (usually shorter), and get off your feet in cooling AC for 20 minutes and recharge.
Carthay Circle, DCA
This was my first experience doing a truly proper table service restaurant inside a theme park, not something merely adequate like Blue Bayou but something which I might consider visiting if it werenāt inside a ticketed setting. The overall subdued ambiance is a welcome respite from the go-go-go zaniness of the park outside, lending DCA a much-needed adult vibe and granting it a calmer pace compared to Disneyland, which very much benefits DCA. Letās add the Carthay Circle Lounge downstairs as well, since Iāve done that one more oftenā¦it doesnāt require reservations. Itās my favorite bar on property, outside of possibly Trader Samās, largely since it too offers that midday in-park respite. For a period of time the bartenders there knew me by name.
Vulcania, Tokyo DisneySea
While the nearby Magellanās is DisneySeaās most celebrated eatery (with its table service refinement similar to Carthay Circle), I prefer the Vulcania buffeteria in Mysterious Island. This is the most inspired theming Iāve found inside a park, with the entire dining hall carved from the volcano interior and the food cooked in steampunk thermal vents by Captain Nemoās crew. Vulcania perfectly continues the seamless land-wide theming of Mysterious Island, benefiting from the amazing caldera interior of Mt. Prometheus. The food isnāt too bad either: Chinese noodles catered to a Japanese palate, which is always a unique flavor combo to my Western tastebuds.
Cheesecake Factory, DisneyTown, Shanghai Disneyland
Yes, itās a bog standard Cheesecake Factory, the same as youād find anyplace. But consider my personal context! Iād just completed a month of trekking across the width and breadth of Mainland China, climbing the mountains, riding the trains, and eating nothing but Chinese food that whole time. Which was delicious! But I gave in when I reached Disney at the tripās end, and I ordered the most American thing I could fathom: a bacon cheeseburger with a milkshake. These flavors were a welcome familiar shock in this context. That really hit the spot.
I knew you would mention a few spots from the international parks and you did not disappoint!!
