Orlando Theme Parks
There are so many theme parks in
Orlando, that you either need a month of vacation time, be retired
or just independently wealthy so that you can visit all of these
fantastic theme parks that have kept so many families happy, from
around the world and will for decades to come. Besides the many
parks located in Walt Disney World Resort, there are two parks at
Universal Orlando, Wet-n-Wild a marvelous water park that keeps all
the family excited all day long, Sea World, which is another theme
park that has started expanding into the water theme park venue, as
has Disney and others. Disney is home to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot,
Animal Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood studios, Disney's Blizzard Beach
water park, and Disney's typhoon Lagoon which is another water park,
and don't forget the Disney's Downtown area where there are all
kinds of shops, boutiques, restaurants and other exciting venues to
keep you and your family busy all day and night. There are so many
theme parks that belong to the Disney family that they have
multi-day multi-park tickets that cost more, but allow you to visit
more than one park a day; although to get the fullest value for your
buck, it is much better for you to spend a day in each park, where
you will still be running from one ride or show to another all day
long and into the night, with barely enough time to enjoy them all.
The two parks at Universal are also day long parks that will have
you running from one end to the other all day long to take advantage
of all the rides and shows. The two parks are Universal Studios,
which is geared more to the movie rides and adventures, while the
other, Universal's Islands of Adventure is more rides which will
keep you going upside down and backwards the whole day with many
rides, themes and the like. Sea World is where all the marine
animals play and entertain you with a few rides, although the
majority of the park is watching the beautiful marine animals that
you can often touch, feel or even feed; and the ride portion of this
attraction is in Tampa, the famous Busch Gardens; which are an hour
and a half journey eastwards on the Interstate 4. You can take some
magnificent balloon rides from the city, as well as travel along the
rivers in great airboats that fly along the water's top and can go
anywhere. There are helicopter rides to show you the parks from
above, and other venues that will thrill you like Gatorland, Silver
Spurs Rodeo, huge mini golf courses that make you feel as if you are
going into the PGA, with more T-shirt shops per mile than anywhere
else in the world. Outlet shopping, nightclubs, horse stables,
racing cars, museums, art galleries, basketball, football and
baseball training happening all times of the year. It is an area
that never shuts down for snow, ice or anything in between, although
there are occasional hurricanes that just shut you up for a few
hours while you sit inside and watch the blustering winds blow
across the flat land state that has more sunny days than any other
state in the union, and more coastline to swim in the ocean. It is a
great place to visit or live, and still growing all the time; with
the main show being you.
