Orlando 2011 Trip Report

... and there are banners and things...

And this is the Goblet of Fire, right?

And the trains? Still the most ferociously gnarly ever.

But now, no more dueling. And that just blows so hard.

I still enjoy both Fire and Ice... ahem, excuse me, the "Chinese Fireball" and the "Hungarian Horntail." But without the interactions, it's not the same.

Now that Universal has made the irrevocable (so they say) decision to never "duel" them again, I'd rather they just tear out one of the coasters and load up the area with some incredible environment to fly through. Would they do something like that? Simply for capacity concerns, probably not. Oh, well.

After that first morning in Harold's playground, we headed over to the Studios park to meet up with Chris and Natalee Godsey, and their daughter Caroline (who is getting cuter by the minute) to get Shreked. The show is still quite enjoyable, even though that film franchise is well past its expiration date. And after, we hung around at "Donkey's Photo Finish" for a bit.
