After leaving Disney World we took a 15 mintute taxi to our new hotel. Besides having a creep dark viber to it our hotel is pretty nice.
Our first day we decided we would have a sleep in and check out the hotel and relax. The next day we would wake up at 6am to get the ONLY shuttle bus to Universal Island of Adventures at 7:30am. Only to get there an hour before the place opens... it sucked. So tired before the day even started. I must admit that we did get in pretty quick tho being at the front of the lines.
As soon as the gates open we head straight to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter before everyone flooded the place. It was everything I expected it would be and more. The first ride we went on with in the Hogwarts castle, walking you though everything to Dumbledores office, The Common room. Everything was so detailed. So getting to the ride, You sit in seats of 4 and fly with Harry on a "broomstick" It was so amazing being half of the ride being a full screen simulator actully making you feel like your there and the other half being created sets of the movies. The next ride was called Flight of the Hippogriff. It's a small kids rollercoaster but we still did it :D haha but we did go on the Dragon Challange roller coaster. Pretty much you choose either the Chinese Firebolt or the Hungarian Horntail. Both roller coasters being intertwined together looking pretty much the same... SCAREY! haha. We went the Horntail side of course.
After exploring Hogsmeade - getting butter beer, some pumpkin juice and some yummys from Honeydukes we went across the small bridge to JURASSIC PARK! Another one of my fav movies. We went on the Jurassic Park River Raft. I should of knowen by the name or the fact the the raft was soaking that we would get wet.... by the end of the dinosaur tour/roller coaster we where dreanched! The ride was awesome but I looked like i'd pee'd myself for about an hour after that.
Next we went and conquered the Hulk rollercoaster! It is a MASSIVE, HIGHSPEED, CRAZY piece of work at the Mavel Superhero Island.
Then it was time for lunch at the Three Broomsticks! The food wasnt great but we did get a Hogs Head Brew :P and the place looked amazing inside.
Some of the other places inside that we went to was the Seuss Landing, Toon Lagoon and the Lost Continent. By about 3pm we were so tired! So we decided to go see a movie - Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters. It was 2 hours of pure brutal violence, was awesome!
So by that time we are dying to get home, but of course there is only one shuttle bus to return back to the hotel... and its at 7:30PM. 12 hours later we are back in our hotel room tired and worn out.
Today we decided we would recover from the day before and chill at the hotel again. It sounds stupid but theme parks are hard work :P
Tomorrow we go to the other theme park - Universal Stuidos Florida which is right next door to Island Adventures....
