Jammy buggers :ragin: I cant believe you went to Universal studios and DID NOT go on 'The Mummy' ride or go to the 'Terminator 3D'... :frown:

...and as for the Jaws ride, they must have improved it since I was there in '07' because we didn't think very much of that ride then :idunno: especially after queueing for a while (the longest of all the rides we went on during the whole trip)

Dont get me started on Islands of Adventure, that place and all its rides is just AWESOME!!! :clap: The HULK, Spiderman, Dueling Dragons etc etc... I remember while we were in there and we were about 2nd in line in the queue for getting our front rowe seats on the dueling dragons and we were all stopped and had to wait due to lightning etc about 15 miles away, 10-15 minutes later and we were off 'Dueling' with the other dragon... :thumbs up:

NMS trip to a villa in Orlando is called for I think. :yes nod:

Thing is, we don't like rollercoasters. So, no Mummy or Hulk for us. And we would have done Terminator but the showtimes never matched in with free time between other rides/shows etc. We'll be back again later in the week though and will make sure we do Terminator then.

Jaws is our favourite because it's so cheesy, and mild, and just simple fun.


Oh yes, yes, yes, yes....... :thumbs up: I can virtually taste the maple syrup :usaflag::clap:

That would be Lenore. Me: can't stand the stuff. Two eggs scrambled, bacon strips, breakfast potato and a side of 2 links for me.
