Sonofbeast2.0 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I will be saving HHN 23 review for last.... Each chuck of the review will be broke into bits and have a different color. Reviews will be based off of a 10 point scale, 1 don't waste your time and 10 being one of the best ever. Walt Disney World: So this would be my like 15th visit or so to WDW, we got about every other year to Disney. I will be doing a short review on this, just the new stuff I haven't rode before/seen before. Shows: Monsters inc. Laugh Floor: This was rather funny. It uses a lot of audience participation. At times the monster will pick fun of people, other times have them help them. They never did pick on me but they did say my brother is buying churro's for everyone in their, I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN MINE! They also allow people to send text messages in of jokes and they read some off. The show was quite good and great for the whole family (shocker their ). overall a 7: It was overall good and funny, nothing that really made me laugh really good. Was to short of a show. The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow: Lets start this off by saying I like the movie series but this, DO NOT waste your time! you go in a room and stand their for about 5 min and you watch Jack, shoot another boat and you get shot at. The end... Overall 1: It was pointless and didn't make much sense, it felt slapped together in one day. I would reccomand doing a marthon on It's a Small World over standing for this "show!" Rides: Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid: This is similar to haunted mansion (the way it's set up). It is a rather slow ride, it has a bunch of moving little figures from the show/movie. quite well themed, but it is short ride. overall a 5: nothing special but something the whole family can do. Recently overhauled, Test Track: The test track is now a ride into the future. Before you board you get to build your own car and then it gets rated against the other peoples car in the ride. Nothing was really added more just everything was futurerized. It was a very fun and exciting ride one that had me wanting to get back in line and ride it all over again! overall a 9: They really hit the hammer on the head with this ride, it was very exciting and was cool getting to compare how my car did compared to my brothers! My brother won overall, just by a little bit!. The Sea's with Nemo & Friends: this ride was also rather short and something fun to do with the whole family. Nothing really special except at the end they make it look like all the fish are really swimming in the ocean! overall a 6: Was kind of cool but nothing that really wowed me. Soarin: This is different... and I like it! it is a slow moving ride the makes you feel like you are flying though the air. it raises you off the ground probably about 50 ft and gives the feeling that you are slowly turning and flying though different scenes. It is a slow paced ride and uses different scents depending on the area your a currently in. Overall a 8.5: quite fun/ cool and it is relaxing, rode it 2 times and if I could of would of rode it another 2 times. Food: Both of these restaurants are in Magic Kingdom. Some place right before the WildWest looking area: We split this meal (me and my brother) because later that day we were going to go eat at a nicer place. We split a Sweet and Spicy chicken and waffle sandwich... It sounded half good and we were wanting to try something different so we got one and, I would say that was easily one of the best meals I've had at a theme/amusement park! It is nothing like anything I've tasted before and was perfect! Overall a 10: This is something you don't wanna miss! It's $7.39 (i think) for it and it was definitely worth it! I was mad I couldn't get another one! Liberty Tree Tavern: He is how this restaurant works, the meals are brought family style and have unlimited refills. you get a salad (with house dressing) and rolls to start with, then for the main course you get turkey, steak, and pork, sides are, mashed potatoes and gravy (gravy is on the side), some veggies and some green beans too, stuffing, and mac and cheese, and for dessert you get a apple bread cake thing with ice cream on it. drinks are free refills too and I didn't try the veggies or beans and didn't get the chance to try the pork. This food was beyond amazing!!! their was great flavor and everything was hot and fresh! I mean you should book a Disney vacation just for this restaurant!!! This was some of the best food I've ever had in my life! the price is $30 a person, BUT GET A LOAN FOR THIS RESTAURANT IF YOU NEED TO!!!! overall a off the charts good!: Why are you still reading this review?!?! go get a reservation for this restaurant now! Uinversal Orlando Resort: Just like Disney only doing review for new stuff and will be doing food too. Ride: Transformers the Ride: This is a lot like the Spider Man ride they have in IOA. At first I thought the ride was alright but now riding it a few times I've really started to like it! It has a scene where it looks like your really in the movie! Then their is a scene where a weapon is fired at you and the air is really warm. It is somewhat of a copy cat, but in this case it's not a bad thing! overall a 8: A very fun adventure and would be fun to ride over and over again. The ride could of been more intense, it was fairly mild. Food: Both in UOR side. Mel's Diner: You get the meal deal for $25 and you can eat from open until 30 min before the park closes at several restaurants for "free"! Mel's double bacon cheese burger with a side of chili cheese fries is where it's at! their food is pretty good but, some of the best fast food I've had. overall a 8: satisfying food but the burger could use more flavor... Monster Cafe: The food here was alright, first time I got a rotisserie chicken and it was good but not the best and then got a lasagna and it was not that great either. overall a: 5: was okay but wouldn't jump for joy to eat their again. ​Side note: Beverage: Flaming Moe, It is a drink that has dry ice in it and only cost $8! Man what a steal! Okay jokes aside now, the drink tasted like Orange Crush that wasn't cold and was bubbling and had "smoke coming out of it. the dry ice is kept in a little netted area so that way you don't eat it. Overall a 3, looked cool but that's it. Halloween Horror Nights 23: Some of you may know I hated last year's and this year would be my 4th year attending. Soooo what do I think compared to last year, well... ScareZones: Walking Dead zombies: I like walking Dead and I like zombies, but I don't see them as all that scary... Some of their make up was cool and some of the props used throughout their scarezones were cool, but never did I get that Universal "wow" moment like i used to... overall a 5, alright but some cool make up and props. better than last year's scarezones? Yes. Houses: After Life: Death's Vengeance: This was a 3-D maze, it felt very gimmicky and forced scares. It was alright but nothing great. Atmosphere: 5 Scare: 5 quality of makeup: 4 Better than last year? Equivalent to a last year house Evil Dead: The atmosphere in this one was pretty good. You walked into a cabin and it had like newspaper articles everywhere. You see many similar things to the movie throughout the house. It was short some actors but wasn't bad. Atmosphere: 7 Scare: 3 Quality of makeup: 7 Better than last year? Yes. La Llorona: This one looked like you were walking into a oold church. The back story is the girl is looking for her dead children. that's all I know to the back-story but the atmosphere is alright mixed with some good scares and decent makeupAtmosphere: 5 Scare: 6 quality of makeup: 7 Better than last year? Yes Havoc: Derailed: This one don't make much sense on its back story but from what I understand their is some insane people on board and this train flips over and they escape... Their is military men that fight along side of you at the beginning but faze out towards the end. the detail is very good in this house some of the best! the actors no so much... Atmosphere: 9 Scare: 6 quality of makeup: 3 Better than last year? Yes Resident Evil Escape from Raccoon City: This is tied in with the game series more than the movie series but it is a nice set up! the zombies that are infected with the T virus are covering quite a bit of area and their is a few "super zombies". the makeup on them is alright but the atmosphere makes up for it. Atmosphere: 8 Scare: 5 (zombies don't scare me much but I do like zombies!) quality of makeup: 4 Better than last year? A little better The Walking Dead: No Safe Haven: (Spoiler free!) Before you enter their is zombies chained up outside and they are trying to lung at you and they try and attack you. ounce inside you are like on the streets and their is zombies all around and you are heading for Wood-bury. At one point you must crawl below the zombies in order to enter Woodbury. Even ounce your in though ur not safe. then you move onto the prison and ounce their their is zombies surrounding you from each side, you can't move left of right without bumping into one. Atmosphere: 8 Scare: 5 Quality of makeup: 6 Better than last year? Yes An American Werewolf in London: Werewolf's don't scare me much either but the way they put this one together, they did pretty good! Their was a high level of detail and a decent amount of scares. their wasn't much for makeup since it was mostly costumes. Atmosphere: 9 Scare: 6.5 quality of makeup: N/A Customes: 7 Better than last year? Yes! Cabin in the Woods: This right here makes it better than last year all together! The movie was alright but I said it could be a good haunted house to my brother. Well I was right! This gave me the scary feeling of not wanting to go around the corner, their was blood all over the place! they pulled made you feel like your right in the movie with this one! It was a heart stopper fun good time house! Atmosphere: 10 scare: 10 quality of makeup: 10 Better than last year? BY MILES BETTER! Shows: Bill and Ted: This year's Bill and Ted theme was based around popular pop culture singers. They found any news that could be used in a funny way, and made a great Bill and Ted show! Taylor Swift is Bill's girl friend and she is the evil one that starts it all. Oh does anyone know? What the fox say!? Overall a most excellent Bill and Ted adventure! a 8 for this year's Bill and Ted! Rocky Horror: Instead of a jump to the left they made a step to the right this year! the actors were spot on (which is scary! lol)! Rocky looked like a Rocky and Brad and Janet looked liked Brad and Janet! Everything was made right! they crossed their T's and dotted their i's this year! Over at the Frankenstein place their a 10! Overall: WDW: 7.5 It's got such an overall special feel to it! UOR: 8 their is more enjoyable rides for someone like me at Universal HHN: 6.5 They are heading in the right direction. they are bringing back the special feeling. I hope they keep doing better! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonofbeast2.0 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 I didn't think it was that bad but the movie wasn't one of my favorites. I'd give the movie a 5. (based on the scale above). I really didn't mean crap lol, just my mind is ready to melt down now lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
