Well I'm gonna try to keep this as short as possible but 6 parks is alot to talk about LOL.
5/23/04-MGM Studios,park rating 8/10- They were having Star Wars weekends all this month, they had activities for the kids like having lightsaber battles with Vader and Maul, they also had autograph signings as well as movies about Star Wars. I rode on the star wars ride it was ok 6/10. Then went to the Great Movie ride which is a train through scenes from movies it was pretty cool though 7/10. After that was the 1st of many rides on Aerosmiths Rollercoaster (boy I wish Great America had this one LOL) 9/10, after that was the 1st of many rides on the Tower of Terror 8/10. Then after was Muppet Vison 3-d it was a quite amusing show 8/10. Then we took the Backlot tour. It has lots of props from MGM movies to see and they also simulate some explosions in a mountain 7/10. We ate lunch at the Sci-Fi diner and from then on went back and forth between Aerosmith and Tower of Terror riding each one 6 times.
5/24/04 Animal Kingdom park rating 4/10 - This park just plain out sucks. Dinosaur was closed for rehabing. Went on there river raft ride it wasn't anything special 5/10 then saw "It's tough to be a Bug" which is a 3d movie with the charecters from "A Bugs Life" the movie was funny and had some great 4d effects 9/10. After that we walked some of the animal trails that they have. You can see the animals pretty close but there arent many too see. After that was the African Safari tour which was very cool (Thats where all they were hiding all the animals) 9/10. The new Everest ride they are building looks pretty fun I'd say they got about 60% of the track up. There are no inversions (at least not yet) It will be ready in 2006 they said.
5/25/04 Magic Kingdom park rating 7/10 - It was nice to see all the rides I loved when I was a kid. Of course now they dont do much for me but I still love the Haunted Mansion. Small World is closed for rehab. Space mountion was closed for a couple hours in the morning cause of some technical stuff but was up and running about 11:30am (right around the time my fast pass was valid lucky me) 7/10 I'm not gonna talk about all the other kiddie rides but I rode on all of them.
5/26/04 Epcot Center park rating 8/10 - What really makes this park is all the "countries you can see" the world showcase is cool and really makes you think you are "in that country" 1st I started on Spaceship Earth (aka the golf ball) 6/10 then to Test Track. Test Track is a really neat idea letting you go through what Gm does to there cars. 7/10 Then to Mission Space. It really felt like I was lifting off. They diffenetly make you spin FAST to be able to have that feeling. The simulater was cool also 8/10. I also went on all there other little rides that they have.
5/27/04 Universal Studios park rating 6/10 - Ran straight to the Mummy and...it SUCKS the Que line is beautiful and the ride decorations are also but they call it a Psycological thriller whcih it isnt. Great Americas Batman is Longer then this ride was (Just too show you how short the ride is) You go though the rooms to quickly before the "coaster" part so you cant understand what there talking about. As for the coaster part I find more excitment in the Whizzer. Ride rating 4/10. After that disappointing ride went to Shrek 4d and that show was funny 8/10. Then to Twister 6/10, then Back to the future 7/10. Then Men in Black 7/10, then watched the Horror Make Up show it was a funny show but didnt show anything about horror makeup 6/10
5/28/04 Islands of Adventure 10/10 - By far the best park there in my opinion. Started with a ride on the Hulk 7/10 the to Spiderman (still my favorite ride) 10/10 then to Dr. Dooms ride which is a launched fre fall 7/10, I skipped the Water rides (Doodly Do right and Popeye) cause the lines were just way to long. Then went to Jurrasic Park 7/10 then to Dueling Dragons 1 ride on fire and 1 ride on Ice both were a 8/10. We went to the Possidens adventure walk through it had potential to be better but it wasn't a waste of time 6.5/10. Then rode on Cat in the Hat 7/10. Then it was back to the Hulk and Dueling Dragons again.
Sorry if I bored anyone by this time LOL.
