[ORLANDO_MAGIC]

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.


http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/Data/ORLANDO_MAGIC/200524114655_HULK.jpg
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.


http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/Data/ORLANDO_MAGIC/200524115631_DUELLING.jpg
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.


http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/Data/ORLANDO_MAGIC/200524115538_DRAGONS.jpg
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)

http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/Data/ORLANDO_MAGIC/200524115837_WALK.jpg
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[sporty].
The photo above was taken in the tunnel on the way to the start.

The next few photos are from Animal Kingdom.
The quality is not as good as some because there were took pre-digital.

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.

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.

We don't have an Applebees anywhere near us.....are they good.....??

[Ray&Sarah]

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.[msnwink][msnsmile2]

I have to ask how do you stay so slim after eating all that food? Loved the images, and agree about the rides though I prefer the last left seat.[msnsmile2]

[Ray&Sarah]

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.[msnsmile2]

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:D
Actually this last trip was the first time i have eaten there,but im sure it wont be the last.

John.
