Downtown Orlando nightclub, Independent Bar

Independent Bar night club in Orlando

I don’t talk about the great Orlando area nightclubs and bars too much here, so I thought I’d start mentioning some of the best ones, or at least the most popular ones. Today I want to tell you about Independent bar.

Are you searching for the best place to have fun? Then you must go to the Independent Bar! This tri-leveled nightclub is a favorite among the young Orlando crowd. The music is great and totally keeps you pumped. They have the coolest bartenders, drink specials, and most importantly- the best music in town.

There is something for everyone at the Independent Bar- from angels hanging from the ceiling and to videos playing on the numerous TV monitors. Huge video screens, friendly staff, and a stylish crowd are in the main room. If you’re still able to walk, you can go upstairs.

Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Pirates of the Caribbean Ride review

March 6, 2011 by

Disney's pirates of the Caribbean ride review

Located in the Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland, Pirates of the Caribbean Ride is one of Disney’s most popular attractions. It’s always been a favorite with visitors, but after the hit movies, it’s even more so.

Walt Disney himself helped with the ride’s design, and it opened just three months after his death. The ride begins at a Spanish fortress, where guests enter and walk through dimly-lit corridors that are littered with cannons and other pirate paraphernalia.

At the dock, you enter an open-air “boat” and float through the dark. After plunging over a waterfall, the boat enters underground caverns and winds up amidst a pirate battle. Next, the vessel passes through a town that has been taken over by buccaneers.

SeaWorld putting trainers back in water with killer whales

SeaWorld getting trainers back in water with whales

Well here’s some interesting news from SeaWorld. It seems as though they are going to very slowly start putting trainers back into the pools with the killer whales.

As most people know, SeaWorld has not allowed any of the Orca whale trainers into the water with any of the whales since SeaWorld Orlando trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed by a 6-ton orca named Tilikum on Feb. 24, 2010.

But now they say they are going to very slowly start some water works with trainers in the water with the whales. At first it will be just restricted to small medical pools equipped with false-bottom floors that can be lifted out of the water.

Disney’s Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride review

Disney's tower of terror ride review

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride is located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios park. This is a thrilling ride that will make your tummy drop to your toes as you experience the terror of the crazy freight elevator in the old Hollywood Tower Hotel.

The hotel’s design is based on the actual Hollywood Tower that was built in 1929 in the heart of the entertainment industry. According to legend, famous movie stars from Hollywood’s Golden Age often frequented the classy hotel, and some lived in its apartments.

On the witching night of October 31, 1939, there was a violent storm. Thunder and lightning filled the air, and the elevator was struck by a lightning bolt. The people on the elevator at the time disappeared into thin air, along with a whole wing of the building.

Adding a new look to my Orlando tourist site today

February 19, 2011 by

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give you a heads up about the new theme I am putting on my site today. It’s a very professional look with a fun blue color. It also has a normal website home page.

So now you can search for all the articles and news about Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World and Orlando vacation information on the new top menu, two in fact.

If the site looks strange and changes a bit today, it’s because I’m working on it, making it look the best and tweaking everything. I should have it all done in a few hours, I hope! :)
