Going to try a new look for my site, what do you think?

February 14, 2011 by

New site look

Hey everyone, hope your all doing as best as you can in this cold month! I’ve been thinking about how my site looks for a while. It’s always been in a blog format, very plain.

Lots of people prefer a full website look because they don’t really understand a blog. I also am getting a lot of pages on here and want some way to showcase them better.

So I thought of trying a new look, making the home page into a normal website format with a bright, fun blue color as you see in the sample picture above. I like how the menu is at the top so you can see everything up there.

Then in the content I can make sections on my latest blog post, new theme park events, cruises, rides and so on. That way people know where to go to find stuff. Right now I think people get confused.

So I will be changing my site to the new look soon. I have to make some changes so all my pages fit right and figure out where everything should go. It will look better and easier to find stuff. :)

New Shamu killer whale show One Ocean at Sea World this summer

February 7, 2011 by


Click to hear about the new killer whale show “One Ocean” at Sea World

For you Sea World of Orlando fans I have some news for you! Seems like this year, maybe around late spring, they will have an all new shamu killer whale show!

The new Sea World show will be called One Ocean, which will replace the 5 year old “Believe” killer whale show they have had. The pool and props around it will be very different and will be extensively re-done.

The reason for this, even if they don’t say it, is because of the death of Dawn Brancheau, who was battered and killed by a killer whale last year. In this new show, no Sea World trainers will be in the water with the killer whales.

Island of adventure market and export candy shop

Every type of M&M’s you could want!

When you first go into Islands of Adventure theme park at Universal Studios, you walk through a row of shops called the Port of Entry shops. They are on both the left and right side. If your big on candy, make sure you check out the Island market and export candy shoppe!

It’s located on your right as your walking into the theme park, stuck between DeFoto’s Expedition Photography shop and the colorful Port of Entry Christmas Shoppe.

It’s a bit small, serving as a small break between the two connected shops. But the Island market and export candy shoppe is packed with many different kinds of candy that goes all the way up the walls!

Spiderman ride at Universal Studios

I’ve been on the spiderman ride at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure about,,,,oh,,,a few hundred times maybe. So I think I’m qualified to give you an honest review about it!

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is one of the main ride attractions in Islands of Adventure at Universal Studios. This popular theme park ride makes you feel like you are right in the action and completely involved in what is going on.

The queue line of the spiderman ride takes you through a replica of the newspaper office Peter Parker works at. At one point you enter a big room where they show a video of what is suppose to be happening in the city. Then you finally get to the ride station.
