Island of Adventure - the other side

I have already blogged about Harry Potter, but there were other really great rides at Islands of Adventure.


After leaving Hogsmeade we headed over to Jurassic Park to ride the River Adventure. This is a water ride that takes you on a tour of Jurassic Park. It is a nice quiet ride until you find out that the mean dinosaurs have broken loose and have a mind to eat you.


We were shocked that the wait for this ride was only five (5) minutes. It is great going to Orlando theme parks in the Fall!

Even though it looks like a bunch of water we really didn't get that wet. At point a dinosaur spit at us and a little boy in front of us said, "it shot me in the ear." To which a little girl behind us (not at all related to little boy) said, "that's what she said." Michael and I thought that was so funny.

Next we moseyed over the Marvel Super Hero area where we rode . . .

The Hulk

Spiderman

And Doctor Doom. This ride is a free fall. The best part of this ride was the wait, only five (5) minutes.

Next it was off to the Lost Continent.

We watched the "Eight Journey of Sinbad" show. It was only so, so.

Then we toured Poseidon's tomb. It was interesting, but weird. I really enjoyed it because it was like a play. We did wait in line about 30 minutes for this though.

Then we went to Toon Town to ride Rip Saw Falls.

We got drenched.

Our last stop was to Suess Landing where we purchased Finn a "Cat in the Hat." He watches "cat" almost every morning.

The park closed at 6:00, but our shuttle came to pick us up at 5:00. We were exhausted by the end of the day, but we had a lot of fun.

When we got back to the room I made dinner and then we rocked out to the movie "Hairspray."
