The Treks of Oct

Post by coasterdave »

Yes it is that time once again for the trek down to Florida for my birthday that I have done since Moses parted the Red Sea. But this years trek was abit different since it was about two weeks after my birthday. I was invited to hang out with some friends for a week at Disneyworld and took them up on their offer. I had toyed with the idea of doing another Back to Back HHN run as I did last year but decided against it. So I headed down afew days earlier for HHN, Howl-O-Scream at Busch, and some theme park hopping before the gang got in.

First stop was Halloween Horror Nights

I decided to hit Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Africa this year. I did the Funeral Tour for the first time since it was a Friday night. I will say that I enjoyed the tour but was nothing compared to the RIP Tour.

Going to stray abit with this installment of my Oct trek. I spent afew hours at Islands of Adventure the Friday (Waiting on SAW V) and spent afew hours at Seaworld Saturday (Waiting on the rest to show up). Since I have a pass to both parks it was an easy choice to kill some time. I really did not ride much at all at these two parks. Not really into the power riding that I use to do. Just enjoyed the walk around the parks. After this will be the the Disney Resort Parks (All the parks and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party on Halloween)

On to the pics!


Image
As with every trip to IOA, start in Seuss Landing


Image
This is the mew temporary bridge that was build while Potter and his band of kids invade the place.


Image
This is the new Dead In that the Magical World of Potter has made appear!


Image
This use to be a pretty good place to eat till it meet its fate from the wrecking ball.


Image
The Coaster Known as Fire and Ice soon to be called.....


Image

Image
The new major attraction...I mean looks kike it will..I mean could house something?

Image
Some Jurassic Park water action!


Image
Dudley's Ending


Image

Image
Looks like Bluto has him some Olive to eat.


Image
Might get wet but I doudt it will be slippery?


Image
The Incredible Overrated Hulk



Image
The Overrated place to eat. No idea why people say this place is great since it is like eating a cross between shoes and McDonalds.


Image
My attempt at something unique.

Next up will be Epcot Center in the Mouse World Part of the Trek. I was invited to hang out with some real awsome friends of mine for six days at Mouse World Resort. I decided to take them up on the offer and move my trek to later in the month of October. So I will break these up in parks instead of days so this does not last till oct 2009.

Enjoy!

Yes it is once again for another chapter in the longest ongoing trip report of 2008. So the next park is Disney's Studios. I will say that taking advantage of the Magical Hours is a plus for staying onsite. We hit this the first night after a long day at Epcot so it was disney from 9am to midnight on the first full day at Disney World Resort. I will say that I am not as young as I use to be after been rolling non stop in Orlando for a few days straight. But it just seem to just slow me down a step or two or that is the story I am sticking to.

On with the pics:

Image
So this is the Icon of the park and should have atleast one pic of it.


Image
Miss Piggy in all her glory in front of Muppets


Image
Big shoot out to the Star War's Fans


Image
Went to do the drawing thing over there and look what we got. Yea pic is blurry I know!


Image
A real awesomefied ride in my view.


Image
Osborne Lights where going up for the holiday season.


Image
Think they use water on the Tour or what?


Image
Another Shoot out for the Star War's Fans


Image
A Pirate's Life for me!


Image
The Very First Disney Animatronic


Image
Best Dang ride at the Studios!


Image
Took time to see some fast cars but did not spot any fast women?


Image
There goes the tires buddy


SO that wraps up this one and just afew more to go. I might be done by this time next year...well by next week atleast.

Talk about bringing something back from the dead. I have finished uploading the rest of the pics from Oct 2008.....Yes I said Oct 2008. I had some free time this weekend with it being Easter. Even though I have work to do on the puter, I figured what the heck. Might as well load these up some people can see just how cool it is to hang out again and some of you might want to snag afew for your collection.
