Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey

The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter

Dark ride so this video is mainly audio and screams from muggles coming face to face with dragons, spiders and dementors. Board an ‘enchanted bench’ for a broomstick ride with breathtaking special effects.

The ride does not go upside down but prepare to be swung back and forwards as you fly through the chaos of Harry Potters World.

Watch in horror as the Dementor’ s Kiss you and suck your soul which is projected into the fog in front of your eyes.

Real scenery is combined with projected film to produce an intense incredibly awesome experience. Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey is the best ride in Orlando.

Enjoy the supernatural immersion into the the magical world of Harry Potter, one Forbidden Journey will not satisfy thrill seekers and Harry Potter fans.

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit Review

Universal Studios, Orlando

Eagerly awaited unique interactive roller coaster the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit opened August 2009. Universal Orlando claims their latest attraction to be the most technologically advanced roller coaster in the world.

Choose your song and record your own music video (which you can edit and buy at end of ride) whilst riding the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. Use a personal touch pad located in the lap bar to select your track, over 30 song choices ranging from rock, pop, country, punk and club.

Vertical lift hill 167ft tall will be the tallest in Orlando area followed by vertical loops, sideways loops, crowd surfer and 540 degree helix. Features worlds first non-inverted loop which will keep riders upright at the top of the loop. Top speed 65mph, 3 minutes of first-ever thrills, a must for thrill seekers.

I love coasters but was daunted by the thought of the 16 second climb up the vertical lift hill but after one ride I was addicted. The first drop was followed by a series of different loops and twists and the coaster smoothly rocked along the track. I found the Rip Ride Rockit not as aggressive a ride as The Hulk and Dueling Dragons but this coaster is lots of fun especially front row.

Kraken Roller Coaster Review

SeaWorld, Orlando

Located in Seaworld Orlando Kraken is a steel floorless rollercoaster based on a legendary sea monster. Exceptional, smooth and exhilarating reaching top speed of 65mph and producing G-forces of 3.9.

Built by Bolliger + Mabillard, Kraken will satisfy even experienced roller coaster enthusiasts.

Once securely fastened in pedestal style seats (sit on your shoes if they are not tied on your feet) the floor disappears and Kraken rises 149ft up the first lift hill and then plunges 144ft, awesome.

7 Inversions, zero-gravity roll, cobra roll, 119ft vertical loop and diving loops, riding the Kraken roller coaster is an unforgettable experience. I was anxious whilst waiting to board Kraken for the first time but it was so addictive I had to go straight back on it again. I liked the speed, the swooping into subterranean tunnels and the smoothness of this dynamic rollercoaster. The floorless element also added to the feeling of being out of control whilst rationally you know you are safe.

One of my favorite rides in Orlando, 3 minutes 39 seconds of incredible thrills, not to be missed.

Revenge Of The Mummy The Ride Review

Universal Studios, Orlando

Feel as if you are in the  movies on Revenge Of The Mummy The Ride located in Universal Studios, Orlando. This multi- sensory psychological thrill ride plunges riders into darkness to face fire,  mummies and scarab beetles.

Indoor steel roller coaster reaching speeds of 45mph due to a Linear Induction Launch system. The mine cars hurtles riders forwards backwards and upwards,  high speed twists and turns, fun in the dark as you don’t know what to expect next.

Worth a couple of rides on this fun coaster for the special effects.
