Orlando (Part Three)...

ROCK IT! First thing on day three, we headed over to regular old Universal Studios to ride the most intimidating rollercoaster I've ever seen.
The ascent is completely verticle and even though that looks like a loop, you are never actually upside down! The aren't even shoulder harnesses on this ride! Just a lap bar! It was awesome. This rollercoaster has a touch screen and speakers in each seat and you get to pick what song you listen in your personal speakers while you ride. I chose Motley Crue's "Kickstart My Heart". I sang and danced and screamed my way through this entire ride, and I was only slightly mortified when I discovered I was filmed the entire way. Instead of a picture available for purchase at the end, this ride offers a video! I looked SO stupid! We had a really good laugh at my expense.

The new Simpsons ride was great!



In this park, we also rode JAWS, Men In Black, Twister, Terminator 2, Shrek 4D, ET, and our personal favorite The Mummy! We rode that one twice too! Unfortunately we actually had to wait in line both times. Luckily it moved pretty quick. The Mummy rollercoaster is all indoors, in the dark, and at times it moves backward! A backwards rollercoaster is one of my all time favorite rides! There is also a really great pyro effect on the Mummy ride. Woooooo!

Look at this thing again...

I'm thinking one more Orlando post and I should have it out of my system. We just had some much fun, reliving it here is fun too!
