Florida Sunshine State - Orlando Part 2 - Universal's Island of Adventure

Orlando know for it's abundance theme parks. This time we only focus on Universal Studio. I never been to one before but I've been to Disneyland twice, one in Hong Kong and another in Japan. Main reason is that i want to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. LOVE love love Harry Potter!!!!!


Day 2 
Universal's Island of Adventure


once we were in, we went straight to Hogsmeade. But I'll save that for last


This is the Port of Entry


Seuss Landing



The Lost continent


Poseidon's Fury, it's rather old school


the special effect guided tour was old but quite decent 


The 8th Voyage of Sindbad



live stunt show was quite funny. People who sat at the splash zone got very wet... 


we shared a nice beef kebab, very tasty. Tip: Always stay half full.... you do not want to over eat or not eat anything at all.... the rides here is quite extreme but i would say it's slightly better than Universal Studio Florida not so much the nauseating 3D or 4D or 6D movie ride




arrrgggghh!!!!!





this ride is nice too, we had to queue for like 40 minutes for it. it was the only ride that had a long queue the rest was not much to no line


while in line

the music and beat in there was quite spooky, an old man actually fainted while waiting in line. luckily help was fast. Hope the man is alright




Toon Lagoon









Had fun here


we were shamelessly shooting people with water canon(which was meant for kids)...hehe too bad there wasn't many people riding the raft


Popeye the sailorman po po!!! one of my favorite cartoon when i was a kid
Olive is adorable








dizzy ride






looks awesome...we didn't ride it.... thanks to the Dragon Challenge in Hogsmeade which was the 1st ride we did....and we were done with roller coaster for the day!!!
Thinking back about that ride make me dizzy again..hehe


welcome to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade
One can ride the Hogwarts Express here to Diagon Alley in Universal Studio Florida if you buy the park to park admission meaning u can visit both Island Adventure and  Universal Studio Orlando(which is next door and they have Diagon Alley)




Hogsmeade



the Hogwarts Express


the only time fake snow makes me so happy




Three Broomsticks








breakfast at Three Broomsticks, pricey but i need to eat something after the Dragon Challenge ride making me super dizzy and i can't even walk straight...Damn i'm too old for this roller coaster thing


amazing place




Owl Post




some snacks




every flavour beans


chocolate frog


more sweets



we need a cauldron


make mommy proud ok!!!


to Hogwarts...though i would like to ride a boat like how harry did one his 1st year but this works too





the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride was awesome! dizzy as predicted but was so much fun. And the journey through the Hogwarts castle makes my eyes water....can't believe i'm here!!!! how i wish this is a real world but for now as a muggle this will do




feels like i'm in a dream where i do not want to wake up




the 3rd ride in Harry Potter world, Flight of the Hippogriff....a fun and mild coaster


Hagrid are you home??


side view





LOVE LOVE LOVE their live performances

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's Frog Choir, They were awesome!!!




another amazing perfomance by Drumstrang Institute @ Triwizard Spirit rally


Beauxbatons Academy of Magic....they even make that mesmerizing sound when they dance... ><








the Dragon Challenge ride...... i had my eyes close most of the ride....hahahaha
no line at all for this ride...if only i was 10 years younger i would have gone twice or 3 times 


the castle look even amazing in the evening


















Gilderoy Lockhart...lol  Harry's fav professor ><




















have you seen this Wizard??




look just like in the movie


that's it folks!!! a peak into the Wizarding world of Harry Potter the highlight of Universal Studio i would say... the rest was fun and all but This is the only place you would want to hang out for hours


oh well all good things must come to an end....and so is this... au revoir!!!


~so long wizarding world~


on our way out




 there is tons of restaurants, cafes, fast food chains @ Universal CityWalk
just outside of the park. there is no need to worry for food
