Fun Times At Universal Orlando

Men In Black has to be among my top five favorite rides of all time… not only at Universal Orlando but in comparison to any theme park ride anywhere. Hmm…. kinda sounds like I was impressed. And I was, very much so. Men In Black was fun, interactive, clever… It kept us coming back.

Part of the fun of Men In Black: Alien Attack lies in knowing what happened in the movie. So if you haven’t yet seen Men In Black, take a couple of hours and watch it before your vacation. You enter an office building and board an elevator, and when you get off you’re in the heart of Men In Black territory, where Zeb is recruiting new agents. As you set off for your training mission, something goes wrong: A spacecraft that was deporting some extraordinarily nasty aliens crash lands in New York City. Suddenly, armed aliens are everywhere, and it’s your job to find them and zap them. (more…)

In the grand tradition of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show comes Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls, a punny and very wet adventure filled with Nell, Snidely Whiplash, exploding dynamite shacks, and of course…. very bad jokes.

The line for Dudley Do-Right is almost as fun as the ride itself. It winds around inside and out, and for those of us who remember the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, it’s utterly hilarious. (more…)

I grew up with the whimsical, nonsensical world of Dr. Seuss. Green Eggs and Ham, Horton Hears a Who, How the Grinch Stole Christmas…. all were part of my growing up years. Now they have become part of the growing up years of my children. No one can write nonsense like Dr. Seuss, and the fantasy world he created and that lives on in our minds and imaginations has taken physical form at Seuss Landing.

You would think that it wouldn’t be possible to create a place without any straight lines, but somehow Univesal Orlando has done it. (more…)
