Theme Thursday- Vacation












So for this weeks Theme Thursday it was vacation. At first I was stumped thinking of popular destinations such as Paris, Chicago, Los Angeles, Orlando....Orlando! Perfect idea. I'm sure other people will do this. Orlando is the Theme Park Capital of the world. Sure some places have their ups and they're not theme parks. (Nick Hotel) (Orlando International). Let's start off with Wet 'n' Wild, arguably the greatest Water Park on Earth not only for unique rides but it is the oldest water park ever. My personal favorites are Disco H2O and Black Hole: The Next Generation. They have a wide variety of rides from intense (Bomb Bay) to wild (Der Stuka) to thrilling (Black Hole) to mild (Disco H2O) to somewhat mild (The Flyer) to calm (Lazy River). Great place to be try it out. Next is Universal Orlando. Once you enter you come upon a great restaurant---NBA City---. This place is an NBA themed restaurant. The bathrooms have little hoops over the trash cans. The eating area has giant TVs. The floor is like a basketball court. All around a great place. You leave and look to your left. You see Hard Rock Cafe Orlando. The greatest Hard Rock cafe and biggest in the world. It features Elvis's jacket and a rock and roll Michaelangelo sistine chapel painting. Get away from City Walk and you don't whether to go to Islands of Adventures of Universal Studios Orlando. I preferably go to Universal first. You come across Lucy- A Tribute, Woody Woodpecker Coaster and then. Buh-bum-buhhhhhhhh---The Simpsons Ride!! This is the greatest ride at Universal Studios resort. It has great simpson moments on the Tvs in the waiting area and then you come to a 3d simulation coaster. It's great fun. Keep going to find the Diaster ride. You go into this room where people pick you and you're in a movie which you watch on a subway bus after. Dwayne Johnson. "The Rock" makes an apperance. Islands of Adventure first has a great Spiderman 3d simulation ride with a "400 ft. drop" (also simulated. In Toon Lagoon there is Blondie, Beetle Bailey and Popeye. Popeye's Bildge Rat Barges. Hush-A-Bomb and other unique comic strip bubbles. In Jurassic Park. There is a river adventure with a giant dino waiting. There is a ptyeredon flyers which is swift, fast, fun and quick. In the Lost Continent. Well they were lost when they created it. In Seuss Landing there is the Cat in the Hat where you go ahhhhhhahahahahahahahahahaha. Then the trolley that shows. Well. Dr. Seuss's mind. At the Nick Hotel there is slime, water, basketball, slides, cafes, arcades, stores, theme wallpaper and an awesome smell. At Disney World they have Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Downtown Disney which I won't spend any time on. At the Magic Kingdom there is Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, TTA, Barnstormer, Mad Tea Party, Small World, Haunted Mansion and Pirates. But most importantly Splash Mountain. You start off in Brer Rabbit's storyline and then you're wet. Yeah I had to cut a lot of things short but it was a big blog. Sorry about the length.

  1. used to live outside of Tampa and would visit Orlando often...like stepping into someone's imagination with all the theme parks...we would get the Florida resident passes each year to Sea World or Kings Dominion...Islands of Adventure, fun!

  2. I was at Disney World in 197--5! I was 14 years old and as much as I wanted to work up the nerve to do Space Mountain, I just couldn't do it!

    Really interesting, jam-packed post!

  5. Hmmph. I thought I was the only person in the world who had never been to Disney World. I have been to Disneyland - back in the old days. My strongest memory is of whirling around in a teacup. Seuss Landing sounds great!
