| Just thought i would post a few more of my photos seeing as i have nothing better to do...lol.
The first set of pictures were taken at Islands Of Adventure,but i only took a few because i was doing both the Universal parks in one day and my plane was leaving at 8.15pm later that evening so i had to get a move on.
Approaching my favorite park early one August Sunday morning.
Heading straight for the green monster,one of the best coasters anywhere in the World.
Lucky for me it was very quiet so i got to ride Hulky 6 times in less than an hour.
Next it was on to Dr Dooms FearFall,which i had never been on before and i loved it and rode it at least 5 times.
Probably my favorite coaster/s anywhere the fantastic DUELLING DRAGONS.
The very first coaster i ever rode on my first visit to Orlando in 2001.
I know people have their favorite,be it fire or ice,but to me they are both great,so i have no preference,though i do enjoy the front seat if the lines are not massive of course.
Again because it was so quiet i got to ride both fire and ice 3 times and enjoyed each and every one of them.
Did you know the shoulder restraints on fire are yellow resembling warmth,and the ones on ice are blue to resemble the cold.
the restraints on the first row of both fire and ice are pink to resemble their tongues.
(bet your glad you know that now...lol)
If you have ever been on this ride you will know the walk must be one of the longest in the World if not thee longest.
Its actually 3,180 feet from the entrance to the coaster .
The photo above was taken in the tunnel on the way to the start.
Posiends Fury,in the Lost Continent
Did not spend much time here as i was running short of time,and wanted to get back on the Hulk,before i left for Universal Studios next door.
The next few photos are from Animal Kingdom.
The quality is not as good as some because there were took pre-digital.
Entrance to Animal Kingdom.
The famous Tree Of Life,which is hand carved and contains an amazing 325 images of various animals.
Inside the Tree Of Life you can see the wonderful funny 3d show "Its Tough To Be A Bug" which is great fun.
Giraffes on the Kilimanjaro Safari
Hippos
If you have never been on the Kilimanjaro Safari before try to sit on the Left hand side of the vehicle to get the best view of the animals, imo.
The most famous Florida animal is of course the Alligator.
Treat them with respect or you might get more than you bargained for
Elephants somewhere in this pic
Its best to do the Kilimanjaro Safari 2 times seeing as the animals do different things throughout the day and if you get a fast-pass ticket on your first ride you can return with little wait later in the day.
The King of the Jungle can be found on the Maharajah Jungle Trek
Here i am in Dino-Land,where you will find the Dinosaur thrill ride,a simulator ride that will take you back to prehistoric times when Dinosaures roamed the Earth.
Keep your head low or the Tyrannosaurus will have you for lunch.
T.Rex.
After a great day what better way to dine than in Animal Kingdom's Rain Forest Cafe,surrounded by rain forest,real animals and sounds as well as all manner of special effects making it a wonderful experience just like eating in the Jungle but with no chance of you becoming the main course
The next set of photos are just a few various ones took in Orlando.
A small lake accross from my hotel in north Orlando.
One of many American flags you will see flying above buildings in the USA.
View from way up high at the Marriot hotel.
Think we used to much bubble bath in this Jaccuzi
Life dont get much better than this
Wet Wet Wet.
Porky and Pig
The next few pics are FOOD related so if your one of the people in here on a diet maybe best you skip these
Applebees restaurant
Applebees yummy dessert...cold ice cream and hot chocky cake
Perkins restaurant
Barbecued Ribs at TonyRomas
Rum coctail at Jungle Jims Restaurant
Last but not least a yummy Margaritta something i have never drank here in the UK but when in Orlando i have 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or ...
THE END...(for now )

| Ray loves them Chrizzy, was first introduced to them whilst on business in the US, by a guy on his change agent team, not sure which state but not Florida. Now if we come across one and its dinner time thats always his first choice. They do some good steaks and I love their chicken, wrapped in bacon. Not good for the figure though. |

My skinny ness i can thank my dad for and though i have tried to gain weight in the past i just cant so i will just have to continue eating all i can and see what happensactually im just eating my third pancake right now seeing as its pancake day
I am returning to Orlando next month so i will go to one of my favorite places Chilies to eat,and indulge myself in the very yummy molten chocolate cake which contains a few thousand calories...that should help

John, i had better not show your map of the location of all the Applebees to my hubby, he would feel the need to visit them all.
Thats ok im sure he would only eat salads at each one and not any of the other foods on offer,and certaintly none of the high calorie desserts
Actually this last trip was the first time i have eaten there,but im sure it wont be the last.
John.
