Oh well too bad. Tomorrow I will be at Disney and the day afterwards I will be at Universal Studios. We are also going to visit the Halloween night. Should be fun!
You will have a blast. Enjoy. Meanwhile I'll enjoy working with idiots on the west coast.
I forgot about this. Halloween horror nights is always fun. The parks are the best, I wish I lived in Orlando so I could go whenever with an annual pass. What Disney park are you doing, not Epcot right
Did you ever play Midway's Cruis'n USA? And if so, was it essentially a documentary of your current exp?
That and Cruis'n World are my favorite racers.
Okay the two park visits are over.
First we went to Disney World. We had express tickets to Splash Mountain, Thunder Rail Road en Space Mountain.
Splash mountain was fun, but we were totally soaked afterwards. Thunder Rail Road was allright and Space Mountain was painful. I was a bit too big for the ride, so my shins were pushing against the metal all the time. Also a shame that it was mostly in the dark. Wanted to see more space stuff.
Some other rides where I have been too are Peter Pan Flight. Which was not that exiting, but felt like you were flying. Ariel, which was kinda meh. Jungle cruise which had a funny guide, that was not funny. Horrible, just horrible. The way the express ticket works is just too complicated. You can pick only 3 rides and then after that one rude at a time at a booth.
Then we went to Epcot. The Space Mission simulator was cool. The Test Drive and Soaring was also pretty cool. Not sure what Vader's problem is. The Mexican food we ate there was also excellent.
Also the talk with Crush (the turtle of finding nemo fame) was most excellent.
Overall Disney World is cool, with awesome animatronics and some nice rides. But if you look past that, than you realize that most rides are pretty tame. They look good, but the speed is kinda low and no looping and shit. And you are more walking around the many shops looking at overpriced shit or waiting in line than that you are actually doing the rides.

Now one to the next one.
Universal Studios. First off the express ticket works as it should. You pay extra and you can skip the line un pretty much all attractions save Harry Potter ones. Thanks to that we were able to visit many, many rides.
Universal Studios and Island of Adventure love to use a combination of cinema and simulation. But it works.
Harry Potter's Hogsmade and Diagon Alley were really wel made and the rides were awesome. Even standing in line was an experience in itself. The Hogwarts express was also very cool. Everyone should visit this.
The Simpson the ride was very funny. Minnions Mayhem was cute. The Mummy ride was excellent too.
There were some outside roller coasters. The flight of the Dragon was cool and twisty. The big red one had a big drop in the beginning, but was kinda slow and dissapointing afterwards. The hulk coaster was out of order. The Doom Fearfall was cool, was very short. But you have a feeling of weightlesness for a moment.
I went to pretty much all the rides except the water rides.
Halloween night was kinda meh. The waiting lines to the haunted houses were too long. Like 90 minutes long and the people trying to scare you were not scary. Sure sometimes they startle you, but a small cute kid can startle you too if he catches you by surprise. The Bill and Ted show had some nice dancing, but the story was meh.
All in all we had a ton of fun and we manage to do many, many rides. Halloween Night was a waste of money to be honest.
P.S. the Italian restaurant Viva has the most excellent meatballs. You should all try it!

Today we shall visit Kennedy Space center and then straight to Miami!
Yay for Kennedy Space Center!
Glad you enjoyed Disney, Epcot is fine in small chunks, just don't spend a whole day there instead of the other parks.

You are so backwards it is insane. Epcot is the best park to spend an entire day in.

You do Epcot wrong then. There's more than just the rides. Hell, when Miyuki the candy sculpture lady was there I could kill an hour just looking at stuffing the Japan Pavilion.

Yeah I am there for rides. Epcot was great when innovations was a sega e3 area with unreleased games to play.

Broaden your horizons! Go hang out in the international showcase. Learn something. Play Splatoon!

I feel a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of Cubans cried out in terror.
If for whatever strange reason you come out south west let me know but if you are smart you stay around the beach.

Rush 2 was superior on the N64 ultimately.
