Orlando Vacation, Part 2.5

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was so awesome, it earned its own post, so this one will be about the rest of the day we had at Islands of Adventure. Now that we had finished the main attraction, we decided to take our time and just circle the park (literally) to enjoy the other rides and shows.

The next place we went to was The Lost Continent to go to the Poseidon's Fury walk-through show. I remember this being one of my favorites when I went to Islands of Adventure 9 years ago for a school trip, and I was hoping Phil would love it as well. It was the longest line we had to wait in during our stay in Orlando, but it was worth it! (And, Phil seemed to enjoy it too!)

We then cut through Seuss Landing (a kiddie portion of the park, though it looks so awesome) and went to Marvel Super Hero Island which, after Harry Potter World, we were looking forward to the most. We went on the 3-D Spiderman ride (which is another one of my faves) and Storm Force Acceleration (as in Storm from X-Men. It was a very cheesy version of Disney's teacup ride). We ate at the Cafe 4 (as in the Fantastic 4) diner there (we were not impressed) and did a lot of shopping. Phil got a Deadpool hat, I bought a Captain America shirt and we bought a really cool super hero keychain.

After that, we hit up Toon Lagoon and we got soaked on the Popeye raft ride. We walked back over to The Lost Continent to watch the Eighth Voyage of Sinbad stunt show while we were drying off. I thought it was really cheesy, but some of the stunts were cool (such as the bad guy being set on fire and then fell off a cliff into a pool of water). There was still so much to do and re-do, but we didn't have the time, unfortunately. We had an amazing time, though!!!
