Disney adventure continues.

So the epic adventure at Walt Disney World continues with just as much excitement.  I have finally now ridden most of the rides or atleast well known rides through out the parks.  I will just start from the beginning how about that.  One of my favorites with little surprise was of course Star Tours.  It is such a great ride I have been on it multiple times already it was such a blast.  Although it jumps around in the movies a lot and chronologically doesn't make the most sense, I don't even care.  I have to say this is probably the best 3D graphics I have ever seen that does not have head tracking involved.  The greatest part of this ride is that it isn't the same twice in a row there is quite a few different combinations of the experience, even the times I have gone have always been different.  And I plan on riding it over and over until I am the rebel spy...... And maybe a couple times after. 

Then there is the infamous Hollywood Tower of Terror which is without saying an amazing ride.  I have gone on that one a couple times and every time it still gets my heart pumping.  Especially since this last time I brought my Yoda backpack on with me and he started floating as we plummeted several stories.  This is one of my favorite rides because of its origins with the Twilight Zone.  I really like the part were it shows you going into another dimension just before the drop and also when it opens up and you can see outside into the park.  That and it has just a such a cool and creepy atmosphere which is one of the things I love about Disney is that they really go all out on having a great atmosphere especially in the waiting lines which most theme parks just are not willing to do.  This ride is a great example by its cob webs and the practically exact recreation of the lobby as it was in the show.  Also fun fact about the Tower of Terror is that it is specially colored the way it is and with the type of roof so that it can blend in with Morocco in Epcot so that when you are across the park it just looks like another building in Morocco next to the Sultans Palace. 

I will give more descriptions of rides in a later blog since I still have a couple months here in Florida.  I have recently finished Mocking Jay by Suzanne Collins and overall it was a great book and trilogy.  But I feel the ending wasn't quite as good as I was hoping.  I mean I will admit it wasn't bad but for how great the series was I felt that it could have been a little better.  The one thing that did make me a little angry was that one of my favorite characters died.  Spoiler alert!  I thought Finnick Odair should have not been killed because he is a total BA.  I think of all the characters he was by far had the most depth and overcame the burdens that were put upon him.  I am still not sure exactly what I should read next I am debating of going back to the Dresden Files, World War Z or Star Wars Red Harvest.  Decisions decisions..... 

I have decided that I really want to do this sometime and wish that I had the means to do so.  After being down here and going swimming and water parks makes me remember how much I really love the water and miss going to it like I used to when I was younger going to the Columbia River so much.  


Well this is enough blogging for one night goodbye and goodnight.
