Zurück in der Florida Berichterstattung, diesmal mit zugebener Maßen zuvielen Bildern. Aber die Auswahl war so schwer.
Der Morgen begann früh mit dem Weckruf des knarrenden Radioweckers, denn es fuhr nur ein Shuttle Bus vom Hotel zum Universal Resort Orlando, das aus zwei Parks besteht: dem 1999 eröffneten Island of Adventure und den älteren, eigentlichen Universal Studios. Wir hatten Karten für beide Parks und begannen mit den Abenteuerinseln.
Der Park wurde uns als perfekter Rummelplatz von Residents of Orlando recommended, or as the only park that they themselves visit from time to time.
This consists of seven "islands" each with its own theme, rides and colors, and often under license from other production companies such as Warner Bros., Paramount, Marvel Comics created. The latest and most expensive ($ 200 million) island is Harry Potter World, which opened after three years of construction in June 2010.
I liked the buildings in the area very early, which at a slightly chaotic pirate harbor remembered. But nothing really seemed genuine, to have the corners to round, the colors to colorful ... but there were so many little details to discover that the feeling was something to see, which was designed with great enthusiasm.
Especially if the Styrophor and chipboard scenes from Babelsberg is accustomed to look real, only the fleeting, the very first glance, it was be too good in front of buildings, which were also painted on the backside, the symbol of the park Pharos lighthouse is fully functional and even the toilets were not suddenly "normal" showers, but depending on the island of Sinbad bath, toilet, including Hogwarts school spirit or Popeys Bootsklo. A dream of the perfect illusion, for someone who painted (s) of their furniture always from below, in the event that someone has a chair, table etc. even turns around and will not suddenly run into the original color.
Within the islands there were the rides and the smaller shows, with a huge steel roller coaster "Hulk Coaster" dominates the park. Actually, all rides are included in the ticket price, but because in most of his bags, etc. are not allowed to take Fotoapperate but stowed in lockers must be paid ultimately, for the respective locker rental costs for the travel time $ 3. Therefore, we sorted out careful where we go at all, Harry Potter appeared to us with 40 minutes of waiting time to be too full and we were there and no empty locker.
The steel roller coaster with its many loops Anand wanted anyway only alone visit (which would have saved the locker) but has been throughout our park visit it closed due to technical difficulties and for an hour you could watch the rescue work at a dizzy height to all the people were freed from their cars and long stairs came down. As the Hulk path during the initial phase much electricity to be needed, overloads the regularly the power system in Orlando and then leads to total failure.
When we finally travel business saw no waiting time We beat her, but saw immediately why it was so empty, but then we were already sitting in a boat on the journey through the Jurassic Park at the end was inevitable, a water slide, so we were completely wet, which is not a pleasure at temperatures around 10 ° C. shivering in the wind, we went to the nearest restaurant to get us to (totally overpriced) coffee and hot chocolate to warm again halfway. I had put on the day but already twice the tights, but that did not help much. Anand gave me once before lack of sportsmanship and that I was too old for amusement parks obviously, but honestly when it's cold it's all no fun at all.
For Friday morning was surprisingly full in the park, the main language was English (apparently still summer vacation rule in Latin America) and the sale of "hot" Souvenierartikeln was brilliant. In particular, Universal sweatshirts were a hit, some even bought the magician capes for the wind slowing a bit. Most often, however, was seen Gryffindor and Ravenclaw scarves, which Anand, the whole Harry Potter phenomenon faced completely clueless and indifferent eventually led to the question of why there were so many here for English football fans ...
