When most people think ofdoing their trip planning to Orlando, FL, a big mouse named Mickey usually comes to mind. But, there's actually more to the area than Disney. For one thing, there's also SeaWorld, a plethora of water parks, nightlife, restaurants and shopping galore. But, the itch that I've been wanting to scratch involves a little park known as Universal Studios Islands of Adventures.
Islands of Adventures has everything that the Orlando area has been missing. Great rollercoasters and adult-geared rides! I am a rollercoaster addict. While I love Disney and the other parks, I get park weary because most of the rides are geared towards younger kids. Doctor Doom's Freefall starts inside and then shoots you out the top. Dueling Dragons (go with ice - it's faster) twirls around happy visitors. The Incredible Hulk Coaster is an exciting coaster that the whole family can ride.
Islands of Adventures is almost the exact opposite. There's plenty of adult-geared rides. Even those that are for the kids are more exciting. The Spiderman ride is one of the best virtual rides that I have ever been on despite the constant breakdowns that the ride experiences. Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls is the only tobogan ride that I have ever gotten wet on.
And, with all the fun to be had, you can also save money. Universal Studios has been offering deals on tickets left and right. And, you can find plenty of affordable Orlando vacation rentals on Viscape.com.
