Balkhis takes a trip to Island of Adventures in Orlando – Tips and Reviews

Oo if you guys didn’t know, I went to Island of Adventures in Universal Orlando. It was a family trip. We left on Friday and came back on Saturday night. It was heck of a day. We stayed at a motel for the night.

Since we were on a trip that I will be blogging, I thought of wearing my cool shirt that says: “I am Blogging This” which was sent to me by Market Leverage. I wore it all day at the park. Believe it or not, everyone asked me whats my blog and if they will be in the picture lol. One time the guy at the Jurrasic Park Ride who was checking the belt said if you want to read the review of this ride, he will be blogging this so check out his blog. So I will add a review for that ride All to all Market Leverage got good promotion out of it. (Thanks ML for the cool shirt, if you dont mind send me a few more because I wear this one alot hehe )

Alright, well I got my tickets online for $52 at Ticketmaster using a cool coupon which was through a membership so I can’t give that away I went on the following rides: Hulk, Dueling Dragons, Jurrasic Park, Spiderman, Popeye and thats all ….

Yeah do you know why? I was dumb enough to not buy the $45 express pass in the morning. Later on the day, I thought its a waste if I buy it now. Each line had a wait of about 45+ minutes. It was fun though because all guys with me made a big noise in the line.

Lets review all the rides:

Hulk - was had a pretty cool start, but after a while it got boring.

Dueling Dragons – Is a good one. Fire and Ice two dragons. Ice is a bit rougher so I liked that one. Tip: sit on flip flops if you are wearing those otherwise they will drop.

Spiderman – Much better than Back to the Future. Very Very cool ride.

Popeye – Prepare to be Soaked. Hope that you get a good side, so you are only wet not soaked.

Jurrasic Park – Its full of surprises. I loved the ride. First time it didn’t work well, so I complained and got to ride again without standing in a line. Which was cool. I rode all together 3 times on this ride. The surprises didn’t get old.

As for the meals, I got a $22 unlimited one adult meal plan. It worked at 4 fast food places in 4 different Islands, so you have food wherever you go. I paid $9 for unlimted refills. The best thing I did for myself. You walk so much that you get thirsty. Get your drink for free. Otherwise the price for water was $2.75 for one bottle, or 2 for $5 which is insane. If you didn’t buy a meal plan than you have to get the other glass with discounted refills. The glass is $7 plus $0.69 cents per refill.

O O did I mention. I got a Picture with Spidey

It is a well recommended place to go. Don’t go there on the weekend because it is more crowded than usual. If you do end up going don’t be stupid like me..BUY the Express Pass and avoid the lines. Get there early. Go on all the rides I went on because they were all fun. Take an extra pair of clothes with you incase you are wet which you will be. Let me know if you ever go. And believe it or not I do wear all the shirts that I get one time or another. So if you want me to advertise your brand send me a shirt.
