I myself am not a fanatic on the big theme park operations.......tho Disney does get me sucked in a few times a year ...I'm such a kid at heart ! rencently , this past summer to be excat , the hubby and i went to visit our daughter in Orlando and decided to visit this most recent attraction as far as theme parks go .... to the Orlando area . Before you continue reading ...let me say i am in no way trying to bad talk any operation so the opinions are strickly from my own point of view . With that said....... i will give you a brief description of my one and only day at this theme park . When we got up to the gate we didnt have a very long wait to purchase ticketts .....Price for a day purchase ... $ 79.00 . The entrace was filled with an over whelming amount of your typical gift shops , some average in price , and some WAY OUT THERE ! Drink and consession stands on every other corner of the park , about average as you would pay in Disney . I am sure i will not be

the first blogger to ever blog about this place or on any other theme park , but i think alot of different views of some place helps to make a informed decision on weather to visit or not and what to expect before you go ! The time of year this past summer was at the end of May , the crowd was light and the wait time for the rides was around 30-45 minutes . The rides were great , but the time on each , as many of them ......very little ! There are alot of activites for the kids , like Cat In The Hat , cartoon based charaters , and a really cool area of the park dedicated to kids only !! There are a few great roller coaster , and one that was a new experience for me... called the Incredable Hulk, with a launch of 150 feet , at 67 MPH , 2 subteraineum trenches , seven inversions,..... it shoots you out of the tunnel like a rocket as you start to enter the tunnel you stall for about 5 seconds ...then SWOOSHHHHHHHHHHHH .. IT WAS A BLAST ! We repeated the ride over

A shot ogf the space effect side of the kids area ! .
and over lol ! There arent much on shows here , and the food was ok , nothing to really brag on . But there is a really great animated jungle cruise that is guided. Robotics is close to perfection on this cruise . For the most part the park was a good way to waste a day in the hot sun ! I think in general , the exspense that it cost at a majority of these type theme parks ....is not worth my hard earned money but...... like most others ..... i do it for the kids ! My advice ..... if you are planning to go to the Orlando area ... check out other activites in the area that are just as much fun but at half of the cost ! There is alot to keep a family busy in this area . Support Disney for sure , we are all kids at heart right ! However .... bring your CC , mortage your house , beg borrow and steal LOL ... if you are not careful the Orlando area tho extreamly fun ....will take all your money ! The total daily cost at this park for
May Crowds !May Crowds !May Crowds !

a shot of how many people were at the park the day we were there in May !
3 people for the day , not including souvineers.....$424.00 !!! this was admission , meals , drinks . For that kind of money ...... i could have spent a week in the smokies camping and tubeing and rafting , horse back riding , and some good ole R&R ...LOL !
