Universal 5/26/12

I spent a couple hours in the park last night, snapped a few pics, and have a few odds and ends to share. I got into Universal about 7:15 and decided to hit up the 7:30 terminator show to rest my feet. The preshow to this is about 10 minutes and the room which houses it is pretty cool.

The show itself is a nice place to rest your feet and relax, but its nothing special, I do enjoy it if Im in the right mood though. After this I moved over to IOA, the single rider line for spiderman was way to long, and the single rider long for Hulk was closed despite a fourty minute wait, so the only Marvel ride I was going to get on today was Doctor doom. there is a single rider line for doctor doom, but its hard to locate, its up the stairs that the ride exits out of.

The ride exits into the Marvel arcade, with some fantastic four decor

I wouldnt recomend the single rider line if youve never been on the ride, because the queue really is fantastic. The single rider line does provide some nice views though. From here the regular entrance looks quite extravagant.

The regular queue is inside, so you never see the towers, but from the single rider line your pretty much looking straight up at them which may be a bit daunting.

For this ride I was in station four, which is the side that gives the best view of the park.

After the ride I moved to the Marvel observation deck, which gives a breathtaking view of the Hulk coaster

After a few minutes their it was on to Ripsaw Falls for a nighttime ride. It was basically a walk on and after some comprising I got the backseat which gets you the least wet. I was still pretty wet afterwards though.

By now it was 9:00 and I decided to move onto Jurassic Park, where I explored Camp Jurassic for some nighttime pics. The inside mines of Camp Jurassic are really cool, most people overlook this as just another playground, but Id recommend exploring in here, its really awesome.

This next pic is my favorite park of camp Jurrasic, a mesh bridge covered in fog with bubbling water beneath. It can quite scary to walk across!

To end the the night, I decided on a nighttime ride on Jurassic Park. The river adventure is absolutely stunning at night, and I hadnt had the opportunity to do it in the dark in awhile. I got an extra treat in my very own boat all to myself, the third time ever where Ive had this luxury. This is my favorite experience in Orlando, Jurrasic Park, at night, in my own boat, but its incredibly rare. Here are some pics of the beautiful ride at night.

Heres proof that my voyage was solo

See, empty seats. The Trex looked good this time, the drop was awesome as usual, the inside part of the ride is awesomely creepy by yourself. All in all it was a good night. My next planned trip into the parks is slated for Tuesday Morning.
