Rip Ride Rockit rollercoaster from afar. Drops are what I'm afraid of hence I didnt ride that because it's really 17 storeys high with only a lapbar!
The Islands of Adventure where Harry Potter theme park is situated at!
Spiderman attraction!
We need to put on 3D glasses for this 7 minutes simulator ride! There's spinning, levitating, etc. It's really exciting!
Walking through the empty office of the Daily Bugle with news coverage of supervillains threatening to destroy the city before we board the vehicle. We got front row seats :)
After boarding, we will leave for a back alley in New York City to meet Spiderman where the adventure begins. Check out the video :)
The Hulk rollercoaster ride! Check out the 360 degrees inversion.
Universal Studios FLORIDA!!! :)
Rip ride Rockit rollercoaster upclose! Changed our minds at the last minute because of the drops if not I would love to ride this! We can even choose from a list of songs to be played throughout the whole ride. The only downside is there are no shoulder harnesses but only lap bars. Imagine a 4 seconds drop with your upper body leaning forward!
I like the POV video though. It's a 16 second vertical lift of 51 metres!
This ride doesnt go upside down as you will travel through a corkscrew whilst going through the loop.
I guess I will definitely go back there again to ride this. Afterall, this is one of the rides which is very popular. It's an experience! I haven't visit Splash Mountain in Orlando as well so there's a 100% chance where I will be visiting Orlando again! The only thing which I'm not looking forward to is the 24 hour flight :(
Revenge of the Mummy Ride
It's the same experience as the one in Singapore. Some people didn't know about the rollercoaster travelling backwards and screamed so loudly as they got caught off guard hahaha!
And off we went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!!! So surreal, everything seems so real like in the movies!
Entering Hogsmeade Village
The Hogwarts Express at Platform 9¾
Everything seems so real! This is the Three Broomsticks restaurant where we had our lunch! Heard that they served Butterbeer (A drink for younger wizards in Harry Potter) as well as Pumpkin Juice! Don't worry it doesn't contain any alcohol like in the movies so anyone can drink it :)
You can purchase Butterbeer here as well. They have frozen butterbeer too :)
Muggles in the Wizarding world!
Time for "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey"! We queued for more than an hour even though it isn't Spring Break yet!
Before boarding the vehicle, we will be walking in the dungeon after entering the gates of Hogwarts.
The Portrait Gallery! Talking portraits...
Mirror of Erised
Dumbledore's office
Moving onto the Defense Against the Dark Arts room; Harry, Ron & Hermione emerged from under the invisibility cloak urging guests to meet up in order to sneak us to a Quidditch Match.
Walking past the Gryffindor Common Room and we saw the Fat Lady who responded when B said Hi to her.
The Sorting Hat
Next, we have to board an enchanted bench which can accommodate up to a maximum of 4 people. Take a look up at the ceiling and you will spot the familiar floating candles in Hogwarts Great Hall. As there are no safety nets to place your stuff like what Walt Disney World provides, you have to place your bags in the locker. Do not carry your waterbottles with u as the crew will ask you to throw it away. Yeah I understand that the service is kinda sucky. They didnt even brief us properly and while queueing up, others can just cut into the queue as they do not have proper railings..
Ride experience
The ride begins with Hermione performing a spell which transports us to another destination. The benches are able to tilt, rock and spin accordingly giving us the feeling that we're swooping down and dodging stuffs. My favourite one is the Quidditch match because it seems like we're flying on broomsticks playing Quidditch! There will also be the Whomping Willow as well as spiders spitting venom (water) on us.
Dementors will suddenly emerge from the darkness blasting cold air into our faces as an attempt to suck out our soul (In the movies, dementors drain the happiness and cause depression in people). Harry will casts a Patronus charm causing them to flee. We will be guided back to Hogwarts castle with Harry, Ron, Hermione and some of the Gryffindor students cheering at us.
Flight of the Hippogriff rollercoaster ride. Short n sweet!
Hagrid's hut
Lunch at the Three Broomsticks!
B's Fish n Chips :)
Half a chicken, corn on the cob and toasted potatoes ^^
Frozen Butterbeer
It taste very sweet just like caramel!
The shops are so crowded hence we didnt go inside. The queue for Ollivanders is extremely long so we didnt go inside as well as we're not buying any wands.
Duelling Dragons Rollercoaster! We didnt go on that one hahaha!
As you can see, the weather is pretty hot. I can't imagine how Summer will be like. The most unfortunate thing is bringing a couple leggings and jeans and only 1 skirt for my trip! You wouldnt want to know how tanned i have became!
One last look before we go off!
Off to Orlando Premium Outlets at International Drive. Here, they have more variety of clothing :)
We missed Asian food and spotted a Chinese stall in the foodcourt! Bought rice hahaha! Somehow all the Asian dishes are spicy tofu, broccoli and cabbage. They do not have caixin or kailan haha!
Meatball Pasta!
Spotted a pair of sandals in Guess but they don't have my size :(
Discounts in Coach! Bought a bag for myself. It's still kinda expensive at around $130++. The original price retailing in stores is about $200+. Lots of handbags and purses at really cheap prizes though. Kate Spade is equally expensive!
Aim for Coach, Levi's, Nike and Guess next time when you visit the Premium Outlets. Some items still cost as much as retail price.
Went to the Disney Outlet Stores and bought a pair of flipflops. B bought a Buzz Lightyear Tee! Oh gosh, I swear everyone is staring at him when he wore that shirt in Singapore cuz it's like a Space Ranger suit! I will take a picture of him wearing that and post it on another blogpost when we blog about our loots :)
I was so tired that i dozed off in the car and B drove to Wal-mart to buy fruits and water. We're running out of supplies and the hotel is a mess with the dustbin overflowing as we kept buying McDonalds takeaway and even attempted to dye B's hair with Liese hahaha!
It's not really a flop though but his natural hair color is too dark for the results to be obvious. Only during the day especially under the sunlight :D
