My Review of the Orlando Eye Attraction in Orlando

ferris wheel orlando eyeToday, I would like to share with you my review of the Orlando eye attraction that I went to a couple of weeks ago. A huge 400 foot tall observation wheel lifted us off the ground effortlessly, in spacious air conditioned capsules, each holding at least 12 people if not more.

Initially I  was concerned about getting on because the wheel never stops moving. But because it moves so slowly we had ample time to board. Even wheel chair assists have plenty of time. Only one chair per capsule though. The wheel only goes around once, however it takes about twenty minutes or longer to make a full turn, allowing you plenty of time to view the entire city!

We were able to see breathtaking views of Orlando’s landscaping, lush countryside and even parts of our fabulous theme parks. The first thing we did was see a preflight 4D cinema experience. I had not expected this and was delighted. The whole experience was conveniently timed and took no longer than 45 minutes.

This was a great show starter for our fun filled evening on the town. Some visitors were perfectly content to turn the Orlando eye into a luxurious evening under the stars. You can picnic on the grounds, tour Madam Tussauds wax museum and visit a sea aquarium. These are all located  in the complex. So check out the link below and visit the Orlando Eye’s website today!

Daytona bike week pictures

I had a chance to check out this years Daytona Beach Bike Week 2015 last week. There seemed to be a good number of bikers this year, more than last years. I went during the week, it gets crazy busy on the weekend there.

As usual I checked out my two favorite spots; the Daytona speedway area that always has cool custom bikes, and the popular Main street area. I found out this year how expensive that great looking BBQ food is they serve everywhere, about 25 bucks a meal!

Anyways I took a bunch of pics and made a cool gallery of them. Make sure you check out the new “batmobile” looking trikes they had this year, very cool. Enjoy my Daytona Beach Bike Week 2015 Picture Gallery!

What’s up?! If anyone ever follows this site, you know it’s been a long time since I have added an update. Months in fact. Sorry but life happens, work gets busy and time flies by. Got to pay the bills ya know?

But I’ve got a special new update today for you all. I went to the new Harry Potter, Diagon Alley park they just made at the Universal Studios Orlando theme park. It’s the second Harry Potter park they have made; the first one is in the other park.

They now have a Hogwarts express train that connects the two Harry Potter parks. It’s a fun ride with some mild surprises. You have to have tickets to both parks or an annual pass for both to ride it between the two parks.

My latest Vermont vacation pictures!

Vermont vacation pictures

A few days ago I got back from a week vacation to my home state of Vermont. It rained every day, so basically it was a normal week in Vermont. 😀 It was nice to get some cooler weather however and I had a good time.

Most of my visit was just visiting family and friends, doing things for my mom and so on. I did get up to the mountains once and did a little driving around to see my old places I use to visit.

I rented a car this time which was nice but cost more. I also took a different airline; as of now Allegiant Air is the only airline that offers non-stop flights from central Florida to Burlington, Vermont.

Disney’s Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Ride Picture Gallery

Snow White mine train ride

Today I decided to go to Disney’s Magic Kingdom and take some pictures of the new seven dwarfs mine train ride. That’s the new roller coaster ride they are making in the new Fantasyland section.

It’s based on Snow White and the seven dwarfs and features the diamond mine they worked in. So the roller coaster goes both outside and inside. A lot like the big thunder mountain railroad ride.

I must say I was surprised at how sharp and twisty the rails seem to be. It looks like you will experience some pretty sharp curves and drops. Even a bit more than the Thunder Mountain ride.

Disney’s Snow White Mine Train Ride Ready To Open!

7 dwarfs mine train ride

For those of you who love Disney’s Magic Kingdom and Snow White, you’ll be happy to know the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ride is almost ready to open! It’s located in the new fantasyland area of Disney’s Magic Kingdom theme park.

I have always thought they should make a Snow White and the 7 dwarfs roller coaster, with the main theme being in the diamond mines the dwarfs worked in. Well now they finally made it, and it looks great!

The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will tell the story of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” from the perspective of the dwarfs, taking riders on an indoor-and-outdoor trip, with side-to-side swaying cars. It will go down into the diamond mine, which should be pretty cool.

Disney's Epcot flower and garden festival 2014

It’s been some time since I posted in here, sorry about that. Been very busy with new ventures and life in general. Nothing stays the same you know! As a result I have not updated this site for a bit.

But today I went to Disney’s Epcot flower and garden festival for 2014. I must say it was very pretty there with lots of fantastic flower and garden showcases and exhibits. It was a perfect day, not too many people, even got a sunburn!

I took a ton of pictures, it got hard to decide just what to keep and throw away. They had a lot of very cool Topiaries shaped like Disney characters. That is the practice of making plants and flowers form the shape of a person or animal.
