On Friday, we went to Universal Studios Islands of Adventure.
"The Hulk" was a great roller coaster with seven inversions.
We rode it three times, including once in the front (that's the advantage of getting to the park at 8:30 AM).

|
Here's another shot of the coaster.
|
|
We met Woody Woodpecker.
|
|
We rode the Fear Fall. Not very much fun. But real neat to look at.
|
|
We sat in the front row for the "8th Voyage of Sinbad" (and his scantilly clad damsel in distress).
|
|
It had an interesting set, with lots of glitter.
|
|
The Jurassic Park area had a nice T-Rex.
|
|
So, of course, I had to stand in front of it.
|
|
We met Blutto (note the rain-slicked streets.) He was a bear
|
|
We also met Betty Boop.
|
|
There were some other gay guys visiting the park. But no one talked to us.
|
|
We went to the Magic Kingdom on Saturday and (after the rain had passed), watched Mickey
in his parade. It was kind of eerie seeing him trapped in the bubble.
|
|
These dancing brooms were strangely riveting.
|
|
I liked the float of evil people.
|
|
Everyone needs one of these pictures.
|
|
We were at the opening of Epcot. See the multitudes before they begin their made dash to the car ride!
|
|
Steve relaxes before the opening next to a large granite slab that you can pay $25 to have a 2"x2"
picture of you etched on. I love these marketing gimicks.

Rex takes advantage of two women animals. I have no idea who they are:
are they good-witch chipmunks? Helpful lady squirrels? They were dressed in peasant-like aprons and
bonnets: maybe they're repressed serf-badgers?
