Islands Of Adventure

Marvel Super Hero Island

The Incredible Hulk
This coaster is my favorite looping coaster of all time. First off, I'm a big fan of the Hulk which just makes it that much cooler, but this coaster takes the chemistry of B&M and adds a truely great feature... The Launch. Dr. Bruce Banner his slingshot gamma ray booster catapult you skyward at 40 mph into a heartline roll located 110 feet above the ground. From then on it is simply a fast ride with 6 more huge inversions, and plenty of suprises along the way. I waited an extra 40 minutes to ride the front, but i was quite dissapointed and found that the back was much more intense.

Dr. Doom's Fearfall
These 2 S&S manufactured Space Shot towers pack quite a punch. Dr. Doom has decided that he will take the fear out of you on this contraption, and use it against the Fantastic 4. The room you board suddenly fills with smoke and then suddenly you are launched 200 feet in the air. I found this Space Shot to be much better than most because every time I rode it, I flew out of my seat and slammed up against the shoulder harness. I didn't find that on other towers like Power Tower and Dominator. Well, its a really fun ride, especially when lines are long on everything else.

The Amazing Adventures Of Spiderman
And then there is Spiderman... The Greatest Ride Ever Built!

Thats all I'm going to say.

Toon Lagoon

Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls
This high tech log flume is quite alot of fun, although compared to Disney's Splash Mountain, it needs alot of work. There have been rumors going around that this ride is going to be shut down and re-designed, and I believe it needs it. The log flume itself is awesome. The drop is great and at the bottom of the big hill you fly out of your seat on a bump of some sort.

Popeye and Bluto's Blige-Rat Barges
Somehow I totally missed this ride, but got a picture of it on my way to the exit of the park.

Jurassic Park

River Adventure
In my opinion, this is the most dissapointing ride in Islands Of Adventure. It was way too short, and the dinosaurs really didn't look to ferocious. But when the T-Rex came along, that was quite exciting.

Pteranodon Flyers
This ride had a 90 minute wait, and I did not wait for it.

The Lost Continent

Dueling Dragons
This coaster is probably my second favorite looping coaster right behind The Hulk. These dueling B&M inverted coasters are pretty wild, but when intertwined with each other, it truely makes you feel like you are going to collide with the other track. Both Ice Dragon and Fire Dragon go up the lift parallel to each other, and the just have 3 near miss encounters. It seems that the Fire Dragon is all about speed and high g forces while the Ice Dragon is more about letting you enjoy the ride. Kinda like comparing Batman: The Ride to Raptor. This ride's line should be featured as an attraction. It takes a few minutes to walk through the whole castle, and it is full of skulls, bones, and special effects. HINT: If there isn't anyone in line for the ride, when getting off the Fire Dragon, open any of the doors on the left and hop back into the castle's passage ways.

Poseidon's Fury: Escape from the Lost City
This attraction is more of a show than a ride because you walk through the building. It is filled with special effects and a really awesome water tunnel. I don't want to spoil it for you.

Seuss Landing

The Cat In The Hat
This ride recites the book while you experience it. The ride was really alot of fun. It basically is what Disney should be aiming for in all of their classic rides in Magic Kingdom's Wonderland. This is also the most dizzying ride in the park.
