Another Universal Success - This Time with Harry Potter!




So the whole point of our Orlando adventure was to go to Harry Potter World at Universal Studios. But I must say that the whole park is soooo much better than the LA one as they have the Island of Adventures too. The rides were amazing! We went on the new Hollywood Rokit ride that is a massive swirly rollar coaster that pumps out music of your choice into surround sound speakers as you ride it and it video's you as you go round!! I chose Limp Bizkit 'Rollin' and it was immense!! I sang the whole way and the video was tres amusing. We then went on the Simpson's Ride (awesome) then the Jaws ride which was really dated but still managed to scare the c**p out of me and Paige! We then headed over to the Island of Adventure and queued in the blistering heat for the Hulk Ride, Spiderman, Jurrasic Park (dur dur dur dur, dur dur dur durrrr! Check out the uber wet pic above - we got soaked!) and the Harry Potter dragon ride!!! Harry Potter World was incredible. Was exactly like walking into one of the movie sets. There was a MASSIVE queue for the gift shop as everyone wanted a piece of Harry. Apparently you can buy a wand from there and it picks you so you know which one to buy....I'm sure there is great science behind it.....or 'magic' I should say! Anywho, we ended the day on the twirling teacups which I think it's safe to say I enjoyed the most out of everyone, and then we left the park fully exhausted (see pic of poor Christian above!!). So in summary, don't go to the LA Universal, make the trip to Orlando as it's way better!
