Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: Was very busy on the weekend
Islands of adventure is a park which is next door to Universal studios, in Florida. This park had the ride which I think I enjoyed the most. The incredible hulk coaster.
The incredible hulk Coaster - The shrek coaster is a huge ride with lots of speed and twists and turns. You get strapped into a chair in rows of 4 and your feet hang down. You start of slowly climbing up this in door track when suddenly it shots you up in the air at a speed of 67MPH. Once your at the top your out in the open and before you come down you twist around in the air before a series of loops and turns. It was amazing!
Another fun ride was the Jurassic Park river adventure. I don't like water rides. I got this thing about getting my clothes wet, I hate it! But this ride was fun. You sit in a boat with about 20 people in and you go round the water then your boat takes a twist and goes the wrong way before dropping you down this huge drop into the water. You don't get to wet :) One of the funniest moments of our holiday occurred on this ride when going down the drop my dads cap blew off and in the picture they take at the end there was a hat floating in mid air lol
The amazing adventures of spiderman was another awesome ride. It was half ride half simulator. It was a moving simulator which took you to lots of screens with your 3d glasses on. This ride wasn't high speed etc but for sheer cleverness and amazement of how it worked it was great.
Revenge of the mummy was a great ride too which is at this park where it takes you up to speeds of 45mph in complete darkness. I liked this ride as I had no idea where about we were going. And you didn't feel that safe either but it kind of added to the fun of it.
There was many other rides and also lots of shows but those where my favorite rides to do.
The park is open 9am-9pm every day and is situated on city walk. A walk with lots of bars, shops and restaurants and at night looks amazing across the water all lit up.
The price of tickets vary from which deal you would like. I didn't pay for mine as the parents did so im sure how much we paid.

- 21/04/09 The Mummy is in Universal not IOA isn't it? I loved Spirderman although think the whole thing lacks the magic of Disney. |
