Monday - Islands of Adventure

Hi all, still on schedule, we have been to Islands of Adventure today.  Weather is still glorious (86F), no hint of any rain just blue sky.


Straight onto the BIG coasters this morning with 2 rides on Incredible Hulk, a launched coaster that all the kids loved!  Next was 2 rides on Spiderman, a 3d simulator ride where spiderman appears to jump onto your car and talk to you and together you save New York from the villains.  We even managed to get both Grandma and Grandad on this altho Grandma wasn't too keen.



We all did Jurassic Park, which is like a wide log flume round some dinosaurs before you get taken through a building where the Raptors have escaped and you get chased by a TRex.  After we told Grandma she wouldn't get wet they sat in the back row and got wet! oh dear!

We had some lunch while in the Jurassic Park area then we watched the Sinbad Stunt Show.  We also went in to see the Poseidon Adventure show and a couple of rides in Seuss Landing (Cat in the Hat!). 

Finally we headed to Hogwarts, where the kids did 3 rides on Dragon Challenge ( a multi looping hanging coaster) and a ride on Harry Potter's Forbidden Journey - this was excellent and lived up to all the hype!  Even managed to get Grandad on Harry Potter.  Also bought some Butterbeer which was quite nice (a bit sweet!).



It was then time to leave the park.  We had already decided to try The Cheesecake Factory for dinner tonight (thanks to recommendations on the internet!).  WOW, food was glorious, huge and good quality.  Would highly recommend a visit to anyone visiting.  Couldn't manage the cheesecake tho so we ordered 4 portions to take home!

Sarah, Stephen, Chloe and Stewart came home and jumped straight into the pool for an hour before heading for bed about 10.30,


Hope everyone well
