Day dawned and the epic trip has just finished day 1 and day 2 has just started. After being enthralled by the Hollywood studios, our expectations had sky rocketed. We didnt know at that time that not only our expectations but we all would be sky rocketed on day 2 :-)...
We entered the Island of adventures and the first thing that caught our eyes were the huge giant rides.. 6 souls were jumping in joy to experience the excitement. two souls were trying to find a hiding place. they were too afraid to just see the rides.. ok.. meanwhile mr.dakalti goes missing for a while. all the nest souls knew where he had gone :-)
Ok... The first ride was called "Incredible Hulk Coaster". This ride sends you on a high-speed roller coaster rampage, blasting off with the force of an F-14 fighter jet launching from an aircraft carrier.. well well well.. we never even in our dreams have seen such a roller coaster. it swung in all direction/all axis and came to a screeching halt..
After the rollicking experience, it was time for the "Doctor Doom’s Fearfall".. This ride defies gravity. it sky rockets you to some 200 feet and drops you.. aaah.. while going up we didnt experience the feel. why dropping down, we felt as if our body parts were detached from the body.
Then came the mega one that everyone was keenly waiting for. The "Spiderman".. we were really swinging thro the new york sky scrappers with the help of the all time hero Spider man.
After a quick break, it was the turn of Jurassic Park River adventure. We were taken thro a great ride and the setup was an exact replica of the real Jurassic park with Dinos standing here and there.. the last moment was unforgettable when we our ride took a sudden splash into the waters.. that splash not only excited mr. dakalti and mr. logic. it excited everyone out there.
Lastly it was the turn of the king of all rides. It was called Dueling dragons. They were high speed twin roller coasters. It was like the coaster that comes in Final destination part 3 :-)).. unforgettable, breath taking experience..
After all fun, we now had to leave for our hotels so that we could pack our bags to the place where the world's most beautiful beach lies.. none other than Miami...

Miami maamas. part 1..
It was the biggest trip for the nest.. Everyone in the nest had got two days of leave after lots of fight with thier supervisors... Apart from these two days, we had a long weekend.. so were going to have 5 days of non stop majaa... it was a mega plan... we cudnt wait for the things to unfold... the trip was to cover The land of adventure Orlando, the southernmost tip of USA Keywest and see the World's beautiful beach City Miami.. huff..doesnt it sound exciting..
After a pretty long flight, we landed in Orlando. The start wasnt great. We had to wait in a big queue to get our reserved rentals cars.. two cars as usual.. one was a Camry and another Pacifica.. Our journey had begun......It took 1 hr to reach our hotel in Orlando. By the time we reached the hotel, it was around 2 AM in the morning and the reception was exclusively open only for us... got the rooms.. we barely slept before the sun rose..
Morning we got ready and set out for the adventure island Orlando.. we had plans to visit Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.... First day it was the turn of Universal studios. This adventure island was sure full of adventure. we got the first taste of it when mr. dakalti hit a pillar and made a huge dent in the new shining Pacifica car while parking.. damn. what was he doing... only he knows. it took some time for settling down.. got the tickets and we were walking into the Universal Studios. we were all in Jeans and T-shirt and we were amazed to see that no one else in the entire theme park had come in jeans. everyone was either wearing a shorts or something which was shorter than a shorts. :-) Yes, we came to know
the reason within minutes. it was hot out there and we started feeling the pinch... after some "sight" seeing :-), we got to the first show Shrek 4D. After a long one hour wait, (not so long bcos of the colorful crowd, and a nallavan Theo to otify), we got into the show. We were simply enthralled.. The show was so amazing. we had some animals hovering above our head.. some rain inside the theatre . some fire.. wow.. no words to explain the 4D experience. now we got a feel of the Universal studios.. Our next destination was Twister..
Here we were shaken, terrified. We realized how a real tornado will look like.. amazing man... then came the turn of Revenge of the mummies.. We were expecting jus mummies here. but we were wrong. we were taken in for a surprise ride and guys, it was a hell of a ride.. we were jumping up n down.. heart was beating 2x faster.. uff.. we came out and to see the faces of mr. dakalti and mr. logic, we knew how a terrified person looks like.. By this time, we had taken 5 litres of water, 6 litres of coke+sprint+lemonades.. man, we were worning out faster.. we went for a lunch before we decided to move on...
after lunch it was again the turn of Men in Black and Teminator ... by the time Terminator came we were sleeping... We took the long drive back to hotel. after some rest we drenched in the cold swimming pool in that hotel.. we were in there for 2 hrs before a guest arrived to join us. it was bhai's college frnd. we had nice dinner outside together.. We had a Indian restaurant jus outside our hotel and the biryani was too goood. (do not ask what was the bill.. :-) we could have a bought a mini biriyani shop here in India with that money).. we went back to our rooms and slept dreaming about the Island of Adventure...
