The first stop on my Orlando trip was Magical Midway. I landed at the airport around 10pm and was at Magical Midway around 11. This was my first of three visits during my trip, and I''ll explain what led me to come back multiple times below.
Magical Midway is home to the World's Tallest Slingshot ride. They offer packages for riding. I chose the $50 package, which included a ride, a video, and a T-shirt. Every time you come back to Magical Midway after buying this package, you can ride the Slingshot for only $15. This is what led me back so many times!
Check out my my reverse POV on the Slingshot below!
It is so much fun!
Magical Midway is also home to a 250 foot Funtime Star Flyer, which was a lot of fun and provided great views!
The park also has a non operational S&S Shot Tower. It's unique because it only has four seats. I believe it was the S&S Prototype. When I asked an employee if it would reopen, the told me "no" and that the park was looking to buy a new tower.
Magical Midway is also home to a Go-Kart Track and a huge arcade! I will definitely return to Magical Midway, as I had a blast all three times I was there during this trip!
This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room" The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.
The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t
Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos. This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters. Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides. Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
