Okay...Tuesday at Islands of Adventure...

Incredible Hulk Coaster - 4pts. It's a fine coaster but it seems a bit slow. They use magnetic propulsion to get you to speed in seconds and you crest the opening hill full speed and doing an inversion. There are something like 7 inversions and a lot of spinning. However there's no real air time...those moments of zero gravity. One of my favorite things.
Doctor Doom's Fearfall - 1pt. Rather sucktastic. It shoots you straight up and slowly brings you down. No thrill here.
Amazing Spider-Man Ride - 5pts. One of my favorite rides of all time. Even better the second time. Great use of 3D, special effects, and flight simulation. Must be experienced to be believed.
Storm Force Accelatron - 2pts. Simple varient on the tilt-a-whirl or Disney's teacup ride. Nothing special. Too short.
Jurassic Park River Adventure - 3pts. Universal's answer to Splash Mountain. It has a bigger drop...the visuals..okay...I liked Splash Mountain better.
The Cat in the Hat - 3pts. Trip through the high point of the book. Great visuals and animatronics. Fun for the kids and adults. Part of a whole section of the park dedicated to Dr. Seuss. The whole section was well designed...but a little goes a long way.
8th Voyage of Sinbad - 2.5pts. Not a ride. A mildly entertaining stunt show. Designed to appeal to all ages. Skip it or don't. It will provide shade but not heat relief in the summer since it's an outdoor production.
Poseidon's Fury - 2pts. More like the fury of suck. This wasn't a ride...rather another show/movie with special effects (both water and fire). Think bad Sci-fi channel movie of the week. The one cool piece was a tunnel of water you were forced to walk through. Not cool enough to save this "ride." The sad thing is that Universal clearly spent a lot of coin on the exterior to give a distressed temple look...but they needed to focus on the attraction itself.
Dueling Dragons: Fire and Ice - 5pts. I loved this ride. We all loved this ride. Two hanging coasters. Both very good, though Fire was my favorite. Due to the reletively low number of people at the park I think we rode this 7 times over two days. It was more fun on a coaster than I think I have had. I know the park wants to hype the Incredible Hulk coaster...but I think these are better by far.

Interesting thing happened on Tuesday. We were blocks away from a bank robbery and hostage situation. Were were very lucky. We were able to get to and from our condo. The police perimeter began at the street we needed to turn on. It would have genuinely sucked to be either blocked from our condo or stuck there. Thankfully we made it out to dinner once Peter and Beth arrived.

Ah...dinner...at my favorite Orlando restaurant (like I know that many) Cafe Tu-Tu Tango. Everyone should go. It's sad that Little Rock probably couldn't (wouldn't?) support a fun restaurant like Cafe Tu-Tu Tango.

More photos today...then a look into the Magic Kingdom tomorrow...

Stay tuned.
