Universal Coasters

Today we spent another day at Universal. I rode Rip Ride Rocket in the Studios for first time. Don’t need to ride it again, as it was pretty rough. 

Jenn and I often ride the Incredible Hulk coaster in the Marvel Superhero Island area of Islands of Adventure when we go to Universal. We also enjoy the Mummy coaster in the Studios.

One ride I could do every time I go to Universal is Hagrid's Motorbike Adventures. The low crowds were great for getting on the coaster without too long of a wait.

Reopening the Parks

Last week, Universal reopened, and as annual passholders we were among the first to attend. While wearing masks to the parks was annoying, it was nice being there with so few people. I thought some of the health protocols were a little overboard, but followed the rules.

Work was progressing on a new roller coaster in the Jurassic Park area of Islands of Adventure.  

Sea World reopened today, and again we were invited to be the first to attend as annual passholders. Sea World tried to implement the same pandemic protocols as Universal but the guests didn't seem as interested in following them, and the employees weren't as interested as enforcing or even encouraging them. Still we enjoyed a meal at the smokehouse, looking at the animal exhibits, and watching the orca show.
