Postby coasterinsane on March 31st, 2005, 12:33 pm
Okay, just walked in the door today from an awsome trip to florida.


DAY ONE.
The first day we went to MGM studios and went straight to rockin rollercoaster to grab a fast pass. Ater that we went over to tower of terror and had an awsome ride. We did that great movie ride or whatever... you know? It was intresting, then we did the backlot tour ride. Me and my friends got to be in the show, i got to stand on the the boat and turn a wheel! We watched a bunch of movies ate ALOT and had a great time.
Oh yeah, deffinatly go see fantasmic. Awsome effects.

DAY TWO.
On the second day we went to Universal Studios: Islands Of Adventure. We didnt get there untill about 2:00 in the afternoon due to late wakeups and whatnot but we still got everything in. We did Hulk, Doctor Doom, Spiderman, That log ride thing.. LOTS OF FUN, Both dueling dragons we walk ons so we did both twice, then we spent the rest of the day in Suesses landing. We had lots of fun. We did not get to go to the other part though. I was really looking forward to riding the mummy.

DAY THREE.
On day three we went to the magic kindom. We came in late again. Watched a parade, did space mountain, carousel of something, big thunder mountain, Pirates of the Cara. and the haunted mansion. Thats about it there...

Day FOUR.
Epcot. Late start again... went strait for test track and it had a 135 minute wait and all fast passes were gone! So we ran to mission space, grabbed a fast pass and waited for test track. We had an awsome time on test track. After that we went over to mission space and i actually got a little nervous when i saw the barf bags in there.... The ride was awsome...(does anyone have the specs for this ride? I would like to know how it works... Does it just spin you?) Went to all the worlds and then left at closing after the awsome firework show.

DAY FIVE.
Originally we were going to do blizzard beach but it filled to capacity. We ended up doing animal kindom. We had a great time there. Animals. Less rough version of ragin cajun... some good photo updates on expedition everest and what not... blah blah.


I HAVE ABOUT 800 Pictures... I will upload them all to some photobuckets and post the links here.

What was your favorite park out of all of them?
What ride did you like the best? How were the crowds for all the parks except IOA (because you said things were walk-ons), or Epcot (Test Track)?

I think my favorite Disney Park was a tie between Epcot and the future place in magic kingdom. I like the choice of rides they both offered.
Test track is an extremly cool ride.. It had a horrid wait, but it was fun.

I liked rockin rollercoaster and Tower of terror most. Both were really fun.





We had a great time.

I liked EPCOT for 2 reasons.

1. Test Track m- Quite possibly my favorite ride I've been on yet. The use of themeing and the idea behind this ride is simply amazing. When we rode it, we waited for about 50 min. through the line but the awesome queue themeing made up for the wait. There was so much to look at and the lack of clustered switchbacks made the line exciting and easy to wait through. The idea behind the ride was awesome too. Flying around that turn at 65mph was defiantly a fun experience. I think that the ride, because it is not like a rollercoaster, was a bit more thrilling because it seemed like you were in your own car. Too bad I only rode it once. :?

2. The Excellent themeing of the different regions of the world. I love the architecture of other parts of the world and getting to see them all clustered together within 15 min walking distance of each other was great. The food around there was excellent too. Although it was lacking in the ride department, the atmosphere more than made up for it. It would be a great place just to walk around in for a day not worrying about rides.

I have a question for you, could you explain a little more what mission space was like? Feelings, Gforces, etc? I believe it uses a gyroscopic effect to put you under different Gforces.

All i really know is that mission space was very intense... at least for a disney ride. When everyone got out of there little compartment they all looked up at the top of the room to see if they actually left. You dont feel any lateral g's, you are spinning... but you cant tell. You really feel like your blasting off, feeling negative g's. It really does live up to what people make it out to sound like.

Ha ha, i went in the exact reverse order than you did...almost. I got a bt nervous with the barf bags, and I was a bit queezy after I rode the ride. I sat down on one of the benches and the attendent told me to take all the time I needed. I felt better and sent Dejavu_the ride the most ridicilious internet postcard, and felt a ton better.
