Skull Island: Reign Of Kong Ride POV Universal Studios Orlando, Florida

Not going to lie, I was originally really excited for this one when it first came out as I’m a very big Kong fan. I’ve been a fan ever since I was a child. Something about Godzilla and Kong just got me excited. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait for something Godzilla to pop up on the map, but at least we have the ride and possibly, a new Kong vs Godzilla movie coming soon in theaters. Every time I visit

Official Hotel Review & Horrible Experience At Country Inn & Suites In London, Kentucky!

This visit was a unique one for me. To be honest I have never experienced a place like this before. If it were not for the fact it was already near 11 pm and after driving 10 hours I would of asked for a refund and moved on to another hotel. Where do we begin. I’m not sure. I was pretty furious at times on this night. There were a few things that really got under my skin pretty quickly,

Universal’s City Walk NBC Grill & Brew Restaurant Review

This particular restaurant isn’t located in any park, but it still does fit the requirement for our team at Big Theme Parks to do a review. The NBC Grill & Brew is located in Universal’s City Walk and is located just out of the Gates of Universal Studios Florida. We hit the restaurant just before noon, right before the lunch rush came in. The wasn’t a wait to be seated for us, but I have passed by and seen a

Universal’s Studios Classic Monsters Cafe Food Review

This particular cafe has a little history with us. Particular it was one that we visited on our first few visits back in 2014 to the park, and one that we had the wonderful adventure with my wife’s mother who has passed a few years ago. Because of which it’s kind of got a little historical place in our lives, which is why we will visit this place on any trip we have to the park. After all the park

Disney World

Will I Fit On Disney Epcot Rides?

I am not going to lie, but my experience with Disney World up to this point was not been great. The main reason is that we visited the park for the first time during spring break, which is something I will never do again. This issue of why it has not been a pleasant experience was of course has been mainly the people and the number of people who have been at the parks during our visits in March. Our

Can You Do Both Universal Studios And Islands Of Adventure In One Day?

There are many aspects to this question. Some of which will determine if you can or cannot do both parks inside one single day. The main question is what are things you want to get done? What would you constituent a successful and satisfying day inside Universal Orlando Theme parks? If the goal to get through both parks and ride as many rides as you can but with the expectation that you may not ride all of them, then yes,

City Walk Is Universals Little Gem For Before, During, & After You Visit the Parks

When you visit Universal Studios and Universals Island Of Adventure the first thing you see when you come out of the parking complex is an area that Universal Calls City Walk.

Our First Experience With Disney’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Where do we begin. It was an interesting night to say the least. Some highlights and some low lights. Kind of the day you would expect from Disney Magic Kingdom. We didn’t know what to expect as it was our first time ever experiencing the special event. I’m happy that Disney is celebrating Halloween already, while I’m a little disappointed that Universal is not. Another story for another day. We are in the last weeks of August so the fact

During our stay In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for a work trip, and right before we ended up at Hershey Park a few hours later, we had the opportunity to experience a gem attraction in town. The Pride of The Susquehanna… This is an authentic steam-driven paddle wheel river boat that according to the website was built 31 years ago by a community service project by the Harrisburg Area Riverboat Society. The Ride itself is pretty interesting. It gets you out on

Hershey Park

Hershey Parks Great Bear Roller Coaster POV

The Great Bear Roller Coaster at Hershey was my daughter’s favorite coaster at the park. The coaster has a max speed of 61 mph, a ride height of 124 feet, and a ride length of 2,800 feet. Time of the ride is around 2 minutes and 15 seconds. This ride allows your feet to dangle and is a pretty smooth roller coaster that will go upside down and twist in several spots. So safe to say you should make sure
