Well Disney was Crowded on the 4th but the fireworks were great. it took 2 hours to get out of the park, monday we decided to go to Universal Studios, Rode the Hulk coaster twice, Dragons Challange in potter land, ripsaw and the Rocket, all very fast and fun roller coasters. I set out to ride all the coasters in Orlando and we did !!! Man I love coasters. Went down to Port Charlotte, Fl to Visit my Dad, we worked on his 41 foot Morgan Sail Boat, the Jib was hanging up so took the chair up the mast to replace the top bearing assy. today we spent at Pompano Beach getting sun burned.

I love coasters too. I even do them hung over. What is the Hulk coaster like? 41ft sail boat, thats the life dude. Sounds like you are getting some good down time.

The Hulk launches riders upward 150 ft. and reaches top speeds of 68 mph. The ride has a total of seven inversions and two subterranean trenches during the 2-minute 15-second ride.

The Harry Potter Dragon Challange is an aerial "combat" between dragons there are three times that guests will come within 18 inches of their opponent at speeds of 70 mph. Each dragon's 2-minute and 25-second flight includes several inversions, including a zero-g roll, a Cobra roll, two corkscrews, and two vertical loops.

The Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket is another intense coaster, It's Orlando's tallest roller coaster features several exciting, "never been done" elements, including the world's first non-inverting loop.
Reaches top speeds of 65 mph and towers 17 stories over Universal Studios. Features six near-miss moments and first-ever thrills including a record-breaking loop.

All these coasters are exciting and intense. We had to ride them several times to get the full experience.


Friday I stopped by Blow By Racing's shop, met with John and Chris. Great guys, they took time out of their busy schedule to meet with me and show me around..
