Sunday morning Nov 7, 2010 - After HoJo's continental breakfast, we took free bus to Universal Orlando and walked through Universal City Walk to Universal Islands of Adventure. We headed straight for the back where the new Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride was the only really long wait we had. About 40 minutes. It was wonderfully done and well-worth it. In hindsight, we'd break up into two singles, which would cut waiting time dramatically. You get thrown in with another group, but who cares? You're watching the ride.
Nearby was Dragon Challenge roller coasters which we took. I didn't understand the longer waiting line for front row, but if you are into being scared, I bet it's worth the wait. Dragon Challenge has two tracks with two coasters rolling out at the same time and passing towards or past one another in near collisions...which only the front row really sees.
For no apparent reason, we watched the Frog Choir, a group of 5 singers, very enjoyable. We also saw Triwizard Spirit Rally with guys (Durmstrang) doing fight moves and girls (Beauxbatons) doing baton-streamer dancing. I give it a 2.
More importantly, Deb got a spigot Apple Beer - which is a really good creamy cream soda, and I got a pumpkin drink - in a bottle. Water, pear juice, pumpkin extract, clove taste, and tasty. Somehow, we weren't charged the $6 for my drink. Didn't even know it until 20 minutes later.
