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.......

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.

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.

After eating we headed back into Universal to take some pics.

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..........

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.

100_0659.jpg

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

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.

Then Hopefully a trip dedicated to just parks including, Hershey Park, SFGadv, Dorney, BGE, and Kings Dominion. <------ Still trying to get people to go with me.
