Today, I planned to go to the Universal Studios theme parks. They have three parks in Orlando and I will visit two of them (the water park does not interest me).
Starting at the Islands of Adventures, I headed to Marvel Superhero Island.
First ride of the day: The Incredable Hulk Coaster.
Here I also went on the Spiderman ride - and walking further I did the RipSaw Falls (reminded me of FlumeRide at Liseberg - only more wet).
Later on I did the Skull Island King Kong ride and another water ride, the Jurassic Park River Adventure (much less wetness compared to the RipSaw Falls) before I got to the main goal of today; The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Hogsmeade.
Here is, besides Hogsmeade, also Hogwarts (containing a ride I did).
Hogsmeade had a lot of Harry Potter stores and I also had lunch at the restuarant here.
Then onwards to the next theme park (Universal Florida) - using the Hogwarts Express train of course.
The train stopped at "King's Cross" and there you could quickly enter Diagon Alley; this theme park's contribution to the Harry Potter world.
Even more Harry Potter stores - and it had Gringott's Bank (with another ride which I did).
I spent a lot of time in here before moving on to the rest of the park.
Rides I did here was the Men in Black, Transformers, the Mummy, but the highlight of this theme park was without a doubt the Rip Ride Rockit:
Really nice ride that started with taking you to the top (left in picture above) in a 90 degree angle.
Then back to Islands of Adventures via the Hogwart Express where I walked some more in Hogsmeade; redid a few rides and then exited the park.
I checked out the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium (awesome!) and had dinner somewhere along the Walk.
Then back to the hotel. Time to go home tomorrow.
