TR: La Florida Madness

My vaction was originally planned to be a trip to South of the Border, Myrtle Beach ( Pavilion and other parks), and Disney while in Florida.

 

We drive down, and was planning to leave Tuesday July, 18th but me being in an extremely serious car accident the Sunday before. We had to hold off leaving 2 weeks while I could barely move. When we did leave the only thing we stopped at was South of the Border on the way down.

 

After awhile I began to feel better and on Sun. 8/13 I took a ride to Orlando from where we were staying at family in Bradenton, with my cousin to IOA which is by far my favorite park of all, I cant give it less than a 10/10 becuase everything was perfect except for the closing from Lighting from time to time but even then employees were really friendly and seemed to enjoy the rides they were working on, even hade conversations with the customers while the rides were down, being that I was not with my family I did not bring the camera, but im sure most people know what IOA looks like.

 

So we went to some other attractions in the area, and one in Bradenton

and that wraps up the TR, if you got this far you deserve a treat so go get yourself one.

They lied it wasnt the cheapest prices so I went to the arcade shop

Arcade machine store or Porno shop, choices, choices

for reasons I dont know

the bumper boats seemed to be closed

the water helps to throw the spitball

the lady said that they would reopen tommorow

nice fence to protect the ball from flying away

You first need to use the bat to beat away the trees

The Green Nile

is water supposed to be green?

the mini golf has seen better days

they even left the gate open so you can wander onto the track

a little plain though

the go-karts look harmless

the outside is a different story

even the food place looks good....but

while the arcade looks nice

the entrance can be decieving

On to Pirates Cove in Bradenton, FL

Track over the building, slingshot and fruity Palm Trees

Wooden Go-kart tracks

More of the place

for all you mechanical junkies

notice the go-kart track below the platform

This is an awsome ride for $7

With nighttime mode on

Two. (the reason we came) StarFlyer

One. The Worlds Largest Slingshot

S&S tower which doesnt make to much money because of two reasons

Nice entrance to the go-karts

All the Towers and light really gave the place good personality

On to Magical Midway

Dishes from park restaurants

Statues from gift shops

Arcade games

Stuff like props and hotel room fixtures

Planet Hollywood sign, and a tank

Front to Buzz Lightyear vehicle

Snow White Cars

Space Mountian Car

IDK but it looks cool

68' Charger used in Blade

THE front monorail car

Sign for the front monorail car

On to the Mousesurplus.com Warehouse, first off Walt Disney Wax Figure

Moser corner

300' Skycoaster

their slingshot

The new ride "Drop Tower"

an old town setting

If you had not had fun like this before Email DAN

The bull was put to sleep

As you can see not much else

The "big" attraction there is the Windstorm.

Of course this place is known for the ferris wheel through the sign.

First Stop was Old Town

Pirates Cove is teh ghetto. I remember 7th grade trips there, wondering why the bumper boats aren't open, the ghetto looking golf and batting cages. Then, the karts, arcade, and laser tag were awesome.

 

I kicked ass at laser tag there back when I was 10.

 

Pirates Cove is like, the closest FEC near me, that or Evie's (which has a nicely designed mini golf course and a "meh" arcade.

 

Nice photo TR though.

Wha??? Magical Midway has a starflyer?! Nice, I'm going there in October.

Awesome Photo TR. Just to let you know, the picture you had labeled as an old Space Mountain car is actually one of the old Starjets.

I was going to say, HORIZONTAL CLEARANCE!

I was also going to correct you on the space mtn. thing, but Erik beat me to it

 

Arcade or Porn? ... and you choose Arcade?

ok

 

1. I did go in there but it was not the cheapest it was rather expensive

 

 

2. I have enough at home to probably satisify a small African Country
