Day Five – Islands of Adventure
At the start of the day we found an all you can eat breakfast near the hotel and from there made our way back to Universal after eating our first bit of fuel for the day.
As we entered Universals Islands of Adventure we soon made our way round to Marvel Superhero Island to start. While there we went into a comic bookshop and got our pictures taken with the Green Goblin and Doctor Doom.
Soon after this we went to the Jurrassic park section of the park. There was only one ride there for adults which was the River Adventure. Shortly after this we got lunch in the discovery center made to look like the main building from the Jurrassic Park movies. We even hatched a dinosaur egg.
This lunch stop was much to dad’s dismay as we soon found a kebab place in another area of the park!
From here we headed over to Hogsmead, where we explored all of our favourite sites from the books and movies.
In the same area we could see Hogwarts castle and went on the ride just below it, which was one of the best rides in the entire park.
Afterwards we went through the lost continent section of the park where we stopped and went into a special effects presentation called “Posideons Fury”. We passed through the Doctor Seuss area of the park which we did not stay in very long as we were making our way over to the Hulk Rollercoaster (only Dad and Sophie went on) and for some pretzels.
Finally we went back to Hogmead and admired the Hogwarts Christmas lightshow and onto the last ride of the day – the flight of the hippogriff.
Finally we topped of the night with some Butterbeer for me, Sophie and Mum, and Dad with Dragonscale beer in the Hogshead.
Back to the hotel after that with 25k steps for the day and some very sore legs.
