We spent most of our last day in the parks at Universal's Islands of Adventure. Our first stop was back to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter--Hogsmeade.
Hubby and the older boy rode the Dragon Challenge (where you sit in a chair with your feet hanging down and the ride does 5 inversions and goes 57-60 mph!) not once but TWICE! We also all enjoyed the Flight of the Hippogriff rollercoaster ride.

The Jurassic Park area was also very cool!
O used his "Chris Pratt" powers to tame a velociraptor.
Hubby and the older boy took on Jurassic Park River Adventure and got soaked!

| No one escapes getting wet on this one |

| Great ride! |
 |
| Nobody move a muscle! |
We got our Marvel Universe "fix" on Marvel Super Hero Island, where we rubbed elbows with Super Heroes such as Captain American and Spiderman.

Then we "hopped" back over to Universal Studios to wander through Hollywood, see some characters, and catch the Simpson's ride (long and nauseating!).

And of course, we had to have one last round of Butterbeer in Diagon Alley!

The Czarnecki's (Samuel might remember Mr Z in the portables) were just at Universal Studios and "Harry Potter land"- I think at the same time you were! Looks so fun!
ReplyDeleteThe boys do remember Mr. Z. Too bad we didn't run into them! Hope all is well with you, KJ. :)
