Went straight to the Incredible Hulk ride which was a huge roller coaster that shoots you out at 40km p/h in the first 2 seconds! Awesome!!
Then headed to Hogsmeade to do the Harry Potter rides!! Another amazing world with shops and butter beer and Hogwarts castle of course!! Caitlin, Kaleb and I did the Dragon coaster where you hang underneath! I must admit I closed my eyes a few times!
Next was Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. You have to walk through the castle to get to it and get to see the Portrait room and Professor Dumbledore in his office! When you finally get to the ride you are taken through the castle and on a flying adventure - it was so good!!! Unfortunately it made Ian feel sick and he had to excuse himself for a little while afterwards!! 😫 While we were waiting for him we went on the Flight of the Hippogriff which was a little bit too much like the kids roller coaster at Adventure World for me (meant to be a kids one but a bit scary!).
We were still waiting for Ian and there were no lines so we went and did the escape ride again as it was so good!!
Started heading around the park and next was Jurassic World where we got soaked on a boat ride through Jurassic Park (don't sit in the front if you don't want to get wet!). Then to Skull Island, another multidimensional ride where you are in a truck with goggles on and travelling through the island in the middle of a fight between King Kong and dinosaurs. One of my favourites!
Next was Toon Lagoon World where we did the Ripsaw Falls which was our longest wait of any of the rides. Wait time said 25 minutes but I think there was a problem with it as we waited 50 minutes! Nearly left a few times but we had waited so long already! It was good, a bit like the flume ride at Sea World but a steeper drop and we were pretty wet at the end of it. Thought we may as well do the other water ride while we were already wet so headed to Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-rat barges which made certain we were soaked from head to toe!! Lucky it was hot!!
Marvel Super Hero Island was next where we did Dr Doom's Fearfall and the Spider-Man ride- both really good! Stopped briefly for some lunch before heading to Seuss Landing where we did the Cat in the Hat ride and the Caro-Seuss-el.
Next to the Lost Continent to watch the show at The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad and then to Poseidon's Fury which was a walk through special effects tour of the ancient temple. After this Kaleb and Ian went on the hulk again while Caitlin, Josh and I did some Harry Potter shopping and we met at The Three Broomsticks where we ordered the Great Feast for dinner! YUM!! Chicken, ribs, potatoes, salad and vegetables washed down with some frozen butter beer!! Best meal ever!!
Time after dinner for a bit of wand shopping at Ollivanders and sweet shopping at HoneyDukes and one last go on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey - favourite ride for most of us!!
Back to the hotel for what was a relatively early night compared to normal! Rest day tomorrow!
