So, going to Orlando this weekend

[the_Journeyman]

Won't be able to catch up with anyone as it's a school trip.  However, I wanted input on some Orlando theme parks.

We're visiting Sea World, Universal Studios and Universal's Adventure Island.

I'm a coaster junkie, and I know there's coasters.  Anything else I shouldn't miss at any of those three things?

islands of adventure if your into that sorta stuff, Sea World is cool because the Budweiser hospitality tent, and they have fish too.

Won't be able to visit the Budweiser tent, I'm a chaperon on a school trip, but I'll keep that in mind for future visits!

once the kids are in bed give me holla, I'll take you to a nightly theme park where they have acrobatic chicks doing stunts on a brass poles.

Thanks for the offer, but I can't leave the premises where we stay.

Really the only park that has any decent coasters is Islands of Adventure.  The other parks really don't have any true thrill rides IMO, though they do have plenty of other fun rides.


If you really want to hit up some Coasters sometime, come up to Ohio.  Start in Cinnci at Kings Island (home of the world's 2 longest and only looping wooden rollercoasters) and head up to Sandusky for Cedar Point (home of the most coasters in one park including the Millenium Force the tallest in N.A.)

I prefer water parks while in Orlando, but Sea World and Islands of Adventure are probably the best 2 parks. Don't care for Universal Studios and dislike the Disney parks, but my family love those.
