Photo TR: Jake and Andrew do 3 Disney Parks in 1 Day

Postby Jakizle » Wed Dec 08, 2010 1:03 pm

So as some of you might know, I moved over to Orlando in the summer to go to UCF. I've been here like what, 4 months now? I had yet to visit any of the Disney parks except Magic Kingdom, so on Monday Andrew (swimace) asked me If I wanted to hit up the parks this week. We were both free yesterday, so we decided to go! Since I had never done anyone of the other 3, we decided to try and hit all of the majors in one day! I think we rode quite a lot and here is a little Photo TR!

Sidenote, it was in the 30-40s all day (uncool for Florida).

Welcome to Hollywood Studios! Despite freezing our asses off we made it in!

They were working on the tower, but regardless I really liked the ride and it offered even more than I expected! Easily a favorite.

The reason for such long waits = not very good capacity. 8 people per train that always stacked!

Anyways I thought the ride was super fun despite the large amounts of jerking this gun required. Andrew proved to be the best jerker during the game.

They strap you into this really cool dark ride system then throw you around dinosaurs in the pitch black for a few minutes. It rules. "Not our dino!!!" We made it alive even though the ride said we wouldn't.
