Same wake-up and departure times as yesterday. We got the best parking spot in the general parking for the day. We first rode Escape from Gringotts, which we all liked. We boarded the Hogwarts Express from Platform 9 and 3/4 at King's Cross Station from London to Hogsmeade Station. We rode the Jurassic Park River Adventure, again a big hit for all. From there, Sam and Sariah went onto Pteranodon Fliers and Tim, Jen and Brad explored various caves, passages and treehouses.
On our way down to the Hulk, we passed the new coming attraction of King Kong. The Hulk caught us by surprise in that we got shot out of the ascent instead of falling. We then went up to the Bilge Rat Barges and got absolutely drenched! Very needed...however we had to dry out for about 45 minutes. Sam, Sariah and Solinda went on it again because they loved it so much! Me Ship the Olive was a fun interactive station where Popeye and Bluto's world was brought to life and we could shoot the barges below us. There was a good vantage overlooking the entire park, where we got good family shots.
Lunch was back in Hogsmeade at the Three Broomsticks, where we all purchased 20-dollar dining plans. Each include an entree & drink, a drink and a snack also separately. Entrees were fish & chips, chicken and ribs all around. Pumpkin juice, lemonade and apple cider were drinks. In the Lost Continent, Sam and Sariah enjoyed the Mystic Fountain. The adults enjoyed looking up and studying the Coat of Arms for Abbott, Hitt and Niles. Talbots purple Coat-of-Arms was also a highlight :)
We made the 2:00 showing of the Eighth Voyage of Sinbad Stunt Show, which the kids (all 3) really liked. Big free falls of at least 30 feet and pyrotechnics were highlights. Sariah again wanted reassurance that it was fake because of the demons they were fighting.
Our last stop on our way out of the park was the High in the Sky Seuss's Trolley Train Ride. It was relaxing to be over everyone and enjoy all the alphabet rhymes - many of which were unknown to us.
We came back and rested, before Nathan and Solinda went to the store to get pizzas, salad and fruit cocktail...earlier bed for all...
