Toy Soldiers Are To Play With Guests

Many fans of the toy soldiers in Disney’s Hollywood Studios thought that there was a possibility of the soldiers not playing with guests anymore.  Years of watching Duck Duck Goose and making guests do push ups would have been missed.

On May 2, 2018, Disney announced that the toy soldiers would be playing in Toy Story Land.   This makes a lot of sense.  The soldiers have been beloved since they were introduced.

We are so glad to hear that they will be a part of Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios.  The Soldiers will be there on opening day on June 30, 2018!   Looking forward to that day!

SeaWorld Best Roller Coasters In Orlando

SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment have been doing amazing things with their rides.  Here, we are going to be talking about the rides and why they are the best in Orlando!  SeaWorld is adding rides, Infinity Falls is due this summer!  This is an amazing water ride, with an elevator to start the ride, but lets look at the rides you can go on today!

 

Mako is the tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster in Orlando.  This is the first and only hyper coaster in Orlando.  This ride is intended to give you the feeling of being the fastest shark in the ocean!  Mako reaches a height of 200 feet (61 m) with a maximum speed of 73 miles per hour (117 km/h) and has a total track length of 4,760 feet (1,450 m). Touted as the tallest, longest, and fastest roller coaster in the Orlando theme-park market, Mako opened on June 10, 2016 to acclaimed reviews from many guests.  If you are a roller coaster fan, this is the one for you!

Kraken Unleashed is another roller coaster in Orlando.   This virtual reality roller coaster was born from tales that struck terror in sailors for centuries.

Orlando’s only floorless roller coaster – is themed after a massive, mythological underwater beast unleashed from the depths of the sea.  Riders’ feet dangle as they travel in open-sided seats, riding on a pedestal above the track at highway speeds to heights of more than 150 feet.

 Currently, the virtual reality experience on Kraken Unleashed is currently unavailable. During this time, the classic coaster experience will be available. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience.   It appears the virtual reality was a test model and they are working on the more permanent solutions.

Please watch this video, Tim’s wife Jen, demonstrates the experience WELL!

Manta is designed for the riders so feel like a Manta ray and experience the spinning, gliding and flying like a giant ray would experience.  This is the only flying roller coaster in Orlando.

Riders are taunted by a head-first, face-down inverted nosedive… and that’s just the beginning. Experience the full force and power of riding the high seas, all on one of the smoothest tracks in the world.   This is an amazing coaster!

The best part is that SeaWorld has much quicker lines.  Dwarf’s Mine Train is around a 2 hour wait.  We have seen walk on at SeaWorld.  If you are looking for roller coasters, quick waits, great food and great shows, make a day at SeaWorld during your Orlando Trip.
