Went to Universal Florida in Orlando yesterday! The university organised the trip so it only cost $10 to get all the way to Orlando (4 or 5 hour bus ride!) admission to the park, snacks and ride home! We went to Shrek 4D which was fantastic...... things were leaping out of the screen at us and the seats moved with the film and we got sprayed with stuff when Donkey sneezed on screen!! And when the spiders came into the movie there were jets of air that shot at your legs and were very realistic! It was hilarious! Mum would have hated the spider part! :) The best part was being bounced along behind a frog!!!
I went on the 'Revenge of the Mummy' rollercoaster..... it is an indoor ride mostly in the dark so you can't really see too much of where you're going except for random flashes of light..... The worst part was rolling backwards at the start and when we stopped at a wall.... when it opened Mariano (Mexico) pointed at the track ahead, I tried to see where it went but it was too steep!! it disappeared downwards! argh!
We also went to 'Twister' which was a pretty convincing tornado simulation complete with flying cow and the truck out of the film. Went to Men in Black, where we got spun around in a vehicle and tried to shoot aliens! Back to the Future was a cute ride, like one of those simulators that looks like a monorail carriage, but it looks pretty old now, the graphics were a bit ordinary!
The park had this massive set at the back of New York... Very realistic, until you remember that you are in Florida not the Big Apple. I will try and get the same photo at the real thing!
Madagascar Pengiuns!!! They were great fun and did a rap dance at the end of the day. I will try and post the film I took of them.
