UnrealNightmare Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 So from where we left off. We didn't do anything worth noting on Tuesday except relax and go swimming. So.... Wednesday June 24th Sea World/ Universal We woke up around 7AM and headed out around 730 for Sea World. This by far was our best park experience of our entire vacation! The first thing we had to do was....... And some people think KI is really well landscaped. AH!!! Shark!!! Now what you've all been waiting for.......... This is now my favorite coaster ever!! If you ride in the back car in the bottom of the pretzel loop you feel like your face is being sucked backwards. It's really intense. Krakken Sea Lions and Otters Journey to Atlantis which we didn't ride because the line was over 2 hours long. Yeah it was hot! Really cool! Croiky! Manatee We got to feed and pet the stingrays. By now it was 4 PM and we were really hungry. So we decided to go back over to Universal and eat at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville before heading into Universal so that I could take some pictures. We got all of these Nachos for ten dollars! After eating we headed back into Universal to take some pics. More on this ride towards the end! More in a second....

UnrealNightmare Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Now for Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. We decided that before we left we were going to get some pictures of it testing. While waiting for it to test a man working on the ride spotted us and asked us to come talk to him. I don't remember his name but he asked Aleesha if I drug her to every park to take pictures of roller coasters. She just shrugged and I laughed. He told us a lot of interesting things about the ride and that he himself didn't know exactly when the coaster would open. Also while waiting for the ride to test I got to meet the owner of Parksleuth.com. He was very nice and was also waiting for a train to test so he could post a video. And he did post it on his site if you'd like to go check it out. But anyways on to the pics.......... We waited over 45 minutes for it to test. Our ride count for the day Manta 2 Krakken 2 MIB 1 So sadly we didn't get to take any other pics from our trip but I still have one more park to go. Thursday June 25th and Friday June 26th Busch Gardens Since Aleesha and I bought our unlimited passes to both Sea World and Busch Gardens we figured we would do Busch Gardens in two days. Which turned out to be a really good idea. Thursday was a really nice day. We got in only 3 coasters but we enjoyed walking around the park and looking at the animals. Now Friday on the other hand we were planning on riding everything, but mother nature had other plans. We only got two coasters in and we saw Katonga. When we left the park we were drenched I had to drive the 35 minutes back to our condo completely soaked. Total Ride Count for both days Montu 2 Sheikra 1 Kumba 1 Cheetah Chase 1 Well I lied I did take a couple more pics. This was taken on our way back from the park. Now since we didn't get to do everything we wanted Aleesha and I went to go play minigolf. This was a really neat course, and yes they do really have live gators Saturday June 27th We left our condo around 10 AM and headed to my grandpas for a little bit to say goodbye. After that we went back to John's pass to do some final souvenir shopping. I'll post some pictures of what we bought later when I get some more free time. I also have a few videos to show too. This was one of my best vacations ever and I really hope you enjoyed my PTR. Thanks again Unrealsk8er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Incredible pictures! Thanks so much for posting these (and for making me want to go ride Manta!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrealNightmare Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed them. We will be going back to Florida in October 2010 if you'd like to join us. Manta is incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyKay07 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Great pictures! I really liked the Manta photos. Those are two parks I haven't been to since I was about 5, Busch Gardens and Sea World. I would love to go and ride Manta, and Journey to Atlantis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiko_coaster Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I absolutely love the sea world in orlando. I have been to all 3 of them and think that orlando is the best so I make my parents take a trip there every year. The sea world in san antonio has some pretty sweet things but is much smaller. They have Steel Eel, Rio Loco, Great White and Journey to Atlantis. I will be going to the Sea World in San Antonio in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiko_coaster Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Haha definately. We get to interact with all different types of animals including hugging a killer whale. And we get to swim with dolphins, belugas, penguins, stingrays, and feed the walrus in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
