Central Florida Attractions
*Many attractions offer
online discounts and coupons. Most of the
attractions (but not all) also offer discounts to
Florida residents, senior citizens (AARP too),
military & gov't personel, reduced child
prices, group discounts (usually 15 or more, but
sometimes as little as 10+), AAA members,
corporate and other types of discounts are
typically available. Also, the major attractions
periodically may offer multi-day passes and
annual admission pass bargains and other types of
discounts and incentives. Sometimes these other
types of discounts can be somewhat greater than
the online coupons/discounts, so you may want to
seek out and compare them. Availability of
coupons and discounts is through the respective
attractions websites (and not TouristFlorida.com)
and they can and will change without notice.
Attractions reviews are independent from the
entities reviewed, and none of the above-reviewed
attractions is owned or operated by
TouristFlorida.com, LLC.

THE NEWS:
Busch
Gardens Triple-Launch Cheetah Hunt roller-coaster
ride is now open. Click here
for a youtube video from them.
Minion Mayhem Simulator ride has opened at Universal Studios.
Tip: we got on line half hour before closing (the
park closed at 10 p.m. in late July 2012) and
only waited 30 minutes to get in (the daytime
line waits we saw posted were 120 min. when we
entered the park, 90 later in the day, and 60
when we got on line (but it only took a half hour.)
Gru and a minion crew also pose during the day (with
my son in this image.)
GET THYSELF TO LEGOLAND
FLORIDA! OPENED TO THE PUBLIC OCTOBER 15,
2011, THEY'VE ALSO OPENED THEIR NEW WATERPARK
THIS YEAR. HERE'S A PREVIEW:
The Wizarding World
of Harry Potter is at Universal's Islands
of Adventure! Taste the Butterbeer! The main ride
is fantastic and intense (almost lost my cell
phone, and I've ridden lots of coasters) ! It's
so much more than a sim ride! And you'll enjoy
the attention to detail all along the way too! I
don't want give anything away, just go!
Next
door also visit Universal Studios relatively new
and exciting Hollywood Rip Ride
Rockit which goes 65 mph, and
starts off on a completely vertical 17 story rise
and shoots you through buildings and a loop where
you don't go upside-down! See the link and click
on "TRICKS" for the amazing computer
graphics videos of this incredible roller-coaster
loops and turns.
The
new Manta coaster at
Sea World seats rotate horizontally
to put riders in face-down position, with
thrilling near-miss passes and multiple loops.
Check
out The Simpsons Ride at Universal
Studios Orlando.
Aquatica - SeaWorld's
Water Park has walk around animal
attractions, dolphins, an aviary, and rides like
Dolphin Plunge, innertube rides, white water
rapids, water slides, giant wave pool, aquariums,
restaurants, stores and more!
Busch
Gardens (in Tampa) opened
its kid-friendly Jungala
attraction with new rides and new walk around
animal habitats and it's SheiKra roller coaster
is now floorless, carrying riders up 200 feet and
then hurtling them 70 mph straight down at a 90-degree
angle. SheiKra is the first of its kind to
incorporate an Immelmann loop (a rolling maneuver),
a second, 138-foot dive into an underground
tunnel and a water-feature finale. With more than
half a mile of steel track, SheiKra offers a
total ride time of just over three minutes.
________________________
A tip from TouristFlorida.com:
You might consider bringing
cheap plastic rain-ponchos (usually $1 in the
dollar stores) during the rainy season (summer)
because ponchos in the theme parks are typically
more than $5 each.
