Thanks!!!!


How bad is the Hulk? It was under a refurb last time I was here last year. I can handle Manta, Rock n' rollercoaster etc. but it seems pretty intense. My family also has a history of heart problems, but my doctor gave me an okay for the Disney coasters.

You should be good. It's basically a longer rocking rollercoaster. As long as you are ok with heights that is.

Well oh my GOODNESS. Guess what? The Hulk is beautiful. The Gamma theme works so well. It really is cool. Green is also my favorite color. I watched the vehicle in front of me dispatch and there I was: I was ready. Myself and my friend (rest of family was too scared to ride:p) were next. The vehicle arrived... we boarded and put our safety restraint on and buckled up. Team Members checked our restraints and then shortly after gave the thumbs up. We were ready -- we were able to wait 15 minutes by making this our last ride of the day. And BAM the restraints fly up. And we're like :in pain:. Broke down for the night and it was already past park closing. They gave us a single-ride Universal Express pass, by this was our only day.
So anyway besides that is was epic. We went to Universal a year and three days ago, but for some reason this was way better.


My gosh Spider-Man (minus the line) is outstanding. It works so darn well. And of course Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey is in its own league. But these two rides are definitely the standouts of he Resort. We got a 1-day hopper because we wanted to do Diagon alley, but really Universal Studios is nowhere near as good as IOA. In my opinion IOA may not have theming everywhere as good as the MK, but it is just so much more fun I guess because everything (besides Dudley Do-Right) is so good. I love dark rides and coasters, and for me theming is top priority. Rides in my opinion are only part of the experience, the beginning begins at the front gate. I also loved the fact that at IOA besides the new Kong the wait times were always 45 minutes or under, unlike at Disney where you wait 185 minutes for Fock n' Rollercoaster. Thankfully though, when the expansions open at HWS hopefully that will help the bloated wait times.
So anyway... Hippogriff and Ripsaw Falls are the only two rides I personally dislike. We did FJ three times, Spidey twice, Gringotts once, Popye, JPRA, Ripsaw Falls, Simpsons, ET, Hogwarts Express back and forth, and Kong once. Kong for me was interesting. I really wish it had more sets, but the screens/3D was so good in the tunnel you actually feel like the sun's raise is going through the fog. Definitely one of the best rides in Orlando, but if there were less screen rides in the parks it would benefit from that.

We also ate at that pizza place in CityWalk for Breakfast and had an early dinner @ 5:00pm at The Three Broomsticks.

Oh and P.S. I abhor the Simpsons Ride due to BTTF getting replaced by it:arghh::).

Transformers in my opinion is frankly kind of dull. It had a two hour wait posted, but it really ended up being half that. Still it just had no adventure feel, I guess I am not in that audience for mindless destruction, but I still enjoyed the first film.
But Popeye is way better than kali, and it is really cool for everyone to be absolutely soaked. I basically jumped in the water.

Anyway it was a wonderful day, and having so
much to do right next to each other is really something nice. I Still prefer Disney as a whole (especially when Pandora opens), but in the meantime, IOA compared to each individual Disney World park is better for someone who can at least tolerate Dinosaur @ AK.
