Number 5:

It’s Tough to be a Bug!

I really do enjoy this show over the years. From it’s zany humor, dark scenarios and inclusion of Bug’s Life characters to make the show an enjoyable one! A definite first show for anyone that goes to the park and is also perfect for young kids. It is certainly a great show and should not be missed at all.

Number 4:

Festival of the Lion King

Yet another great show that the Animal Kingdom can offer. The performances are really top-notch and it really makes you be part of a really amazing show. This show should not be missed too and it is definitely worth the wait to see it.

Number 3:

Primeval Whirl

This was actually my first time on a spinning coaster and it was a really fun experience. From the constant spinning to all kinds of surprises, the roller coaster is a really fun experience and make your entire day magical and exciting. If given the opportunity, you should ride the ride and experience what I had back in the day.

Number 2:

Dinosaur

Want a fun and exciting ride for your adventure at Animal Kingdom? Then look no further than Dinosaur for your thrill adrenaline to substantially rise. I won’t say much, but it is an awesome ride and a must-ride for just about anyone. If you are like me, you’ll be riding this ride multiple times no matter what. If it weren’t for number 1 then Dinosaur would take that spot without a second thought.

And the number 1 attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom:

Kilimanjaro Safari

I always wanted to go on a safari, but never got the chance until Animal Kingdom opened with Kilimanjaro Safari. It is just like what you would expect in a African Safari and even more. With all kinds of animals and also a few surprises along the way, this ride has become my favorite attraction at the Animal Kingdom. The ride has everything you could ever want and people should ride it and fully experience the awesome that is Kilimanjaro Safari.

Well here is my final list for Disney World and remember my opinions may be different than yours.

Here is my second to last Top Ten List of my favorite attractions at Disney’s MGM Studios/Hollywood Studios. Thankfully after my last trip in 2003 I can make a  a great list of my favorite attractions at this wonderful park. Without further ado, I will begin my list with the number ten favorite attraction:

Number 10:

Voyage of the Little Mermaid

Much like the movie, the live show is a great Disney experience for people of all ages. The actors are all great and it is a wonderful way to see the movies best parts. The songs are just as good as in the movie as well and also the special effects are top-notch. If you make your way to Hollywood Studios then you should definitely check this one out.

Number 9:

Beauty & the Beast Live on Stage

Much like The Little Mermaid, this is another great live show to behold while at the park. Just like the popular film, this has become a staple in the park over the years. The people on stage, even the ensemble, make this show come to life for all to see. You will no doubt watch this amazing show even if you aren’t a fan of the movie.

Number 8:

Doug: Live!

Even though the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast are great, Doug: Live!, even though it is gone, will always be a favorite to me. I’ve been a fan of the series, from Nickelodeon to Disney, and seeing this show was an amazing sight to see. The humor was great and all the character from the show were all fantastic. Unfortunately, as stated before, the show was later replaced, but this will always remain as one of my favorite show that Disney World offered over the years.

Number 7:

Studio Backlot Tour

This show is always a memorable experience for me and my whole family. Seeing all the cool sights and sounds are truly a great experience. Especially the famous scene where you actually come face to face with huge fireballs and so much water you could open your own water park in the ride. Sadly, the ride is scheduled to be closed this year and will be sad sad sight to see. Nonetheless, this ride gave me fond memories that I shall never forget.

Number 6:

Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular

While the other shows are classics, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular really speaks for itself. Even the name of the explains how the show is. It has a unique balance of humor and action to make it a show that cannot be missed at all. So if you enjoy the stunts in the Indiana Jones movies then you should do yourself a favor and definitely check this show out the next time you go to the theme park.

Number 5:

Jim Henson’s MuppetVision 3D

Now I have been a huge fan of Jim Henson’s The Muppets for years and this 3D show is without a doubt one of the best Muppet shows that I have ever seen. Much like the Muppets themselves, the entire show is a real trip into the world of the funny antics of Kermit and the rest of the Muppets. From the pre-show to the last scene of the feature, you will no doubt laugh your head off from all the humorous actions from all the Muppets that are seen in the feature.

Number 4:

Great Movie Ride

I am a huge movie buff and the Great Movie Ride is another ride that is, as it describes, great so to speak.  Visitor go off on an amazing experience through some of the most popular movies and its favorite scenes as well. The ride has its own surprises through the ride and anyone that loves movies will do themselves a favor and ride this for the pure nostalgia of some of the best movies of all-time.

Number 3:

Star Tours

Star Wars have always been a favorite movie trilogies and the ride Star Tours is another example of how awesome the series really is. From its humor to realistic actions, Star Tours is and will always be a favorite of mine for years to come. Also, the visitors also get to experience some famous scenes from the Star Wars and make the ride even more enjoyable.

Number 2:

Tower of Terror

Now there have been a lot of thrill rides that I have been on through my life and one of the best would definitely be the creepy hotel called the Tower of Terror. With its unexpected drops and surprises abound, you should do yourself a favor and ride this ride no matter what. If it weren’t for  number 1 then this would very likely be the best ride at the Studios.

And the Number 1 favorite attraction at Disney’s MGM Studios/Hollywood Studios is:

Aerosmith’s Rock n’ Roll Roller Coaster

If you love extreme coasters and the musical group called Aerosmith, then you should do yourself a favor and hop in the limousine and prepare of the ride of your life. The ride has  everything a individual loves in a coaster and then doubles it with unexpected twists and turns to really cause your stomach to turn inside out in a good way. This coaster, when I first came on it when it first came out was scary at first, but when the ride was over I immediately loved it. So if you through enjoy all that roller coasters are capable of then go on Aerosmith’s Rock n’ Roll Roller Coaster and enjoy every second of this ride.

Well here is another list and remember my opinions are a lot different then yours.

Here is another edition of favorite attractions at Disney World theme parks and this time we will be heading the world of tomorrow and several other countries of Epcot Center. Keep this in mind that this is from 1993 to 2003 and some rides won’t be on for obvious reasons. Other than that, lets us begin my second list of favorite attractions at Epcot with number 10:

Number 10:

El Rio del Tiempo

Now let me start off by saying that El Rio del Tiempo isn’t my favorite slow moving water ride because mine would be it’s a small world. But the ride is still nevertheless a pure classic and it is well showing of the Mexican lifestyle and culture of the people. Now it may be a classic, but there is another water ride at Epcot that was much more exhilarating than El Rio del Tiempo. Also, the ride has gotten much better with the inclusion of one of my childhood pastimes called the Three Caballeros and the artist formally known as Donald Duck.

Number 9:

Maelstorm

As I said before this ride bypasses El Rio del Tiempo because of one simple factor and that is the elements of surprises during the ride. Among that the ride gives the guest a wonderful representation of how Norway was and what it has become over the centuries. Also, while it is exciting it doesn’t have the classical vibe as it’s a small world, but the surprises help make it worth the wait in the long line.

Number 8:

Cranium Command

I know that this isn’t around anymore and in fact the facility is not even around at all due to the new rides. Despite that fact, this is one of my favorite shows to go on due to it humor and a complete unique way of how a human functions in our world. Each character is very funny especially the left and right brains and also the left and ventricles. In other words, this is a great show/ride experience and it is a true shame that it was closed and almost all of you won’t experience this type of attraction.

Number 7:

Universe of Energy: Ellen’s Energy Adventure

When I was young I truly enjoy this ride due to the fact that Bill Nye was in it showing us science in a funny sense of direction and today I enjoy it a lot more because I know who Ellen DeGeneres was which made the ride more exciting for me. The story and representation was well made and there are some points during it that makes going on it definitely worth the long wait.

Number 6:

Body Wars

Just like Cranium Command, this ride is also not around anymore, but it is still a favorite to me no matter what. It was your standard run of the mill simulation ride with nothing to special to its name. Although, it is pretty realistic much like those of other simulations and it was a real treat traverse the human body and face the wrath of it as well.

Number 5:

Journey into Imagination

This ride has gone through so many changes over the years and in the long run it is and always will be a classic to me. In it you go on adventure through imagination as well as your own as your own with your guide and Figment. It is truly a unique ride and Figment is a true delight to all that ride on it and worth your time to learn the fabric of imagination and among other important aspects.

Number 4:

Innoventions

Let me start off by saying that this area in Epcot is my favorite place to go all the time. It has all sorts of new and unique electronics and games for all guests. I still remember my first time being at Innoventions when it was new and they were showcasing the game console Dreamcast and I played Sonic Adventure 2 demo. As you can see, this is a favorite of mine and will always be for me no matter what happens to the area.

Number 3:

Spaceship Earth

This by far a sure fire classic especially for anyone who has ever been to Disney World. The ride is a fun experience through the world’s history and its future through the use of great visuals and machines. Not only the ride is great, but the building itself is a real treat as well with it being first landmark to feature a ride in it. Although it maybe old, it is still by far a great ride for anyone even today.

Number 2:

Mission: Space

I will admit that I was very hesitant and skeptical when I heard about this ride during my last trip, but that soon changed the first second this ride started. All I can say, without spoiling the ride is that, is that it does what it says a lot more than expected. In, my opinion, this is the best simulation that I have ever been on and  would have been number one if it wasn’t for the next ride taking the spot.

and my Number 1 ride at Epcot Center is:

Test Track

This ride is the best thing to happen to Epcot for a long time and has always been my favorite for years even to this day. The ride is the very example of what a thrill ride should be and anyone would just love every second of this magnificent track of steel and pavement. In other words, a must ride when you get to the park even if you have to wait in line for your time or FASTPASS.

Well here is another list and remember my opinions are a lot different then yours.

Welcome to another Top List and this time around I will be doing my Top ten favorite attractions and also a Top 5 Shows at Disney World. Now keep this in mind I’ve been to Disney World between 1993 to my last trip in 2003 so some rides are on the list because I haven’t ridden them so I can’t rate them. So with out further ado this wish upon a star and start at number 10 of my favorite Disney World Attractions:

Number 10:

Tomorrowland Transit Authority aka, or I still call it, the Peoplemover

Now you are all probably thinking this isn’t really a ride, but to me it is a sure fire classic. You go on an adventure throughout Tomorrowland and you even go into Space Mountain at one point. The ride also has some funny futuristic humor and it is a great thing to do especially when the weather becomes inclement so this is why the Peoplemover made my list of my favorite attractions at the Magic Kingdom.

Number 9:

Dumbo the Flying Elephant

When I was little, about maybe 7, after going through Cinderella’s Castle I see the flying elephants and I nearly lost it. It is a clear classic for anyone no matter what age. The reason it is so low is because there are so many other rides that topple Dumbo the Flying Elephant. Other than that, flying through the skies in a elephant is always a must for me and anyone else whose inner child comes at the sight of this ride.

Number 8:

Tomorrowland (Indy) Speedway

Ironically, today I’m not that good of a driver, but way back then at Tomorrowland Speedway I was actually pretty good over the years. Anyway, the ride is yet another classic where you can fulfill a childhood dream of actually driving an actually vehicle with the feel of an actual car. A must ride for anyone that are heading to the theme park at Disney World.

Number 7:

it’s a small world

What is not to enjoy the ride it’s a small world and the fact that it is such a great ride to go on. The song is both catchy and you will be humming it through the whole ride. The ride also give the riders a unique experience through all kinds of different cultures and how we are all the same and no one is considered different no matter where you are so it is actually a small world. In other words, a great ride with a perfect message towards every person that steps into the boat.

Number 6:

Haunted Mansion

I will admit when I was little the ride startled me especially with the popping heads and the very thought of death, but nowadays I’ve grown to enjoy the ride. While it is scary to this day, the special effects are amazing to this day and it has its own brand of comedy with your ghost host pulling your mind with humor even at some of the most terrifying moments. So whether you are scared out of your mind or love to good spook then head to the Haunted Mansion for a thrill and a hitchhiking ghost so you can bring back home. In fact, my family brought home so many ghost we had to sent some of them back to Florida.

Number 5:

Peter Pan’s Flight

The ride Peter Pan’s Flight is another classic in my eyes. You go on a magical adventure with just a little bit of pixie dust and possibly the best vehicle I have ever gone on. On the ride you go through the whole story of Peter Pan with Wendy, John and Michael as they face the dreaded, scurvy,  and dastardly pirate  Captain Hook and his right hand mate Smee. So be sure to not pass up the opportunity to fly in the skies of England and ride the Flight towards adventure.

Number 4:

Pirates of the Caribbean

Prepare to set sail for another adventure with Pirates again only this time they are from the Caribbean. On this flume ride, you go through the setting of the Caribbean as you encounter pirates both thieving and singing types as well. You might even meet up with Captain Jack and Barbossa. The ride also has its spooky appeal in the beginning and a swashbuckling humor in the rest of the ride and it makes it more enjoyable.

Number 3:

Big Thunder Mountain

If you want a rip roaring adventure then look no further than Big Thunder Mountain. You go through the mountains on a crazy train going who knows where which is pretty much an exciting excursion. The rest is a real surprise and a definite ride for anyone whether they are die hard rider to the fair weather rider.

Number 2:

Splash Mountain

This is not only a great ride, but also a wonderful show as well. All of the drops are amazing and the story on the ride is very engaging for any fan of Songs of the South or just the magic of Disney. Also, it says you may get wet, but what they actually mean is you will get either drenched or your head will get wet. That was just a benefit to all, but nonetheless, it is an awesome water ride.

and the Number 1 Attraction at the Magic Kingdom is:

Space Mountain

In spite of Splash being a awesome ride, Space Mountain is an all around classic in my life. You see before I was a Roller Coaster Junkie, I was a soft rider whom never rode any ride that was scary and/or bigger than me. Until one day I found a spark within me and decided to finally ride Space Mountain and the rest is history. Now the ride is a dark coaster with all kinds of surprises that will make the adrenaline rise up and make you love and cherish the fact that Roller Coasters are made.

Well this is my list and remember my favorites are a lot different than yours.

In the first new episode of Family Guy, both Stewie and Brian travel through multiple universes using a device in order to get there. I enjoyed it very much I decided to make a list of my top 5 favorite universes. I will warn you there are spoilers so you are warned.

Number 5:

The Blocky Animation Universe

The reason is that it reminds me of Adobe flash animation and that is a very underused medium and Family Guy used it very well. Not only that, the “nyeh” from all the characters were very hilarious too. The reason for the number 5 is that the rest are just a bit or a lot better than this one and the universe is also very short.

Number 4:

Flintstone Universe

I felt this was a great use of the fact that Fred and Wilma look a lot like Peter and Lois. They also used the rock’s jokes a whole lot which made the point that the jokes were consistently all about rocks. Also, I am a fan of the Flintstones which made this one a whole lot better. Lastly, the joke with Stewie and Brian saying “let’s get the Rock out of here” was genius.

Number 3:

Japanese invaded the US Universe

I really enjoyed this one because I’m a fan of the Japanese animes and manga. The voice actors of the universe were hilarious, especially Quagmire because that is what he’d be in if he was Japanese. I only wish they extended on this universe, but for me it was just fine.

Number 2:

Robot Chicken Universe

When I saw this first I was very excited because I’m a huge fan of the series and I never miss an episode ever. It was the perfect use just like the Flintstones universe, but this one went a whole lot further. The reason is that Stewie made fun of Chris for not being on a major network until then. If it wasn’t for my number 1 this would be my it.

And my number 1 universe is:

Disney Universe

This is no surprise at all I mean this one is just perfect and that is the bottom line. The moment I saw it I was so surprised with the animation and I wondered how they did this and who did this. The song was very funny and all the characters  into a Disney character were all top-notch and the ending was possibly the best from all the universes combined. In the end, this is my favorite universe out of all of them.

Here is my list and remember my favorite universes may be a lot different than yours.

Welcome to a new section called Top Lists where I rank my top 5, 10, or even 15 things and I will start with the Top 5 burgers at Universal Studios Orlando. Why you may ask why?… well during the Summer me and my family and a close friend went to the theme park for six days and at all the restaurants I got a cheeseburger and I decided to rate my favorites while I was there. So lets begin the countdown with number 5:

Number 5:

The Kitchen at the Orlando Hard Rock Hotel

I did enjoy the burger, but it had a kind of fast food kind of taste and the burger was not that juicy at all. Besides that, it was a noteworthy meal and perfect for anyone who wants a quick bite or can’t go anywhere because of inclement weather.

Number 4:

Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville

While it is a classic and one of my favorite places of all time, my last trip brought the burger down to the number 4 spot for some odd reason. The burger was good, but not as good the last few years. Like I said before it is a classic and worth your money to get your own cheese burger in paradise. It will rise up again to 2 or even 1 only time will tell. Also, “I like mine with American cheese and bacon and a cold Coke” not as catchy as the song though.

Number 3:

Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando

I was very surprised with this burger because my last time there it was not that great, but the burger was much better this time around. The burger was juicy, the bacon was cooked to perfection and the bun was toasted which is always a plus with me. The only downfall is that it was not as filling as the burgers before it and it made the experience a less enjoyable one. In the end, it deserves this spot on my list.

Number 2:

Nascar Sports Grille

Me and my family always went here last, but this year we decided to eat here first and it was a wise decision. The burger I had there was a great burger in both taste and size. For some reason the cheese there was the best I had while I was on vacation. This really made my eating experience while I was on vacation and prompted the creation of this list in the first place.

And the number 1 burger at Universal Studios Florida is:

NBA City

I enjoy this burger so much and, surprisingly, this was my first time I had a burger there. I usually have the Pizza, but that day I got the burger and it was just well awesome. The burger and bacon were all cook to perfection and taste perfect too. All I can say is that this was a great surprise that this was my favorite and I don’t mind this burger was great and worth it for any burger lovers out there.

Here is my list and remember this is my opinion and my taste buds are a lot different than yours.
