Up, Down and All Around

Are you someone who loves hair-raising twists, turns and drops? Is it the faster, the higher, the wilder, the better? Are you hopelessly addicted to thrill rides? If you’ve answered yes to one or more of these questions, you’re ready for a trip to Orlando. With seven major theme parks in the area, you’ll find many ways to get your adrenaline pumping.

Let’s start you off nice and early at Universal’s Islands of Adventure®, because as any thrill ride junkie knows, these attractions always have the longest lines in the park. Feel the rage of Dr. Bruce Banner as you’re launched from zero to 40 mph in two seconds flat on The Incredible Hulk Coaster®. Then, put on your 3-D glasses on The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man® and take a heart-pounding thrill ride as you battle evil villains. You might also like the excitement of Dueling Dragons®.

At Walt Disney World® Resort the fun continues. Escape Brer Fox with a wet plunge down Chick-a-pin Hill on Splash Mountain® at Magic Kingdom® Park. Next, make your way over to Space Mountain and blast through the starlit darkness turning every which way. At Epcot® you’ll feel like you are hang gliding over the state of California on Soarin’. Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom®, travel tumultuously around hairpin turns, forward and backward, aboard Expedition Everest. Brave 13 stories of shear fear as you drop on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ at Disney’s Hollywood Studios™. While you’re there don’t miss the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster® starring Aerosmith. You’ll be jammin’ from 0-60 mph with the force of a supersonic F-14.

When it comes to roller coasters, SeaWorld® Orlando is not to be left out. I dare you to take on Kraken, the tallest, fastest and only floorless steel coaster in Orlando.
