Orlando, you’ve outdone yourself! 🎉
Squeezed in a 5-day Disney + Universal trip right after midterms — and I mustered up the courage to ride EVERY roller coaster, trembling the whole time…. First up was Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios 🎸. It’s been years since I rode a coaster, so that sudden initial acceleration scared me silly! I was too terrified to ride Tron Lightcycle Power Run afterward — even scrolled other people’s reviews while waiting to hype myself up 😱. But turns out, it wasn’t that bad once I got on! Overall, my favorite was Guardians of the Galaxy — I’m still obsessed with it weeks later ✨. Second place goes to Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure! The crowds were super light the day we went to Universal, and with Express Pass, we waited only 10-15 minutes per ride — ended up riding it 3 times in a row 🐉. VelociCoaster looks way scarier than it is — zero weightlessness at all! I actually found The Incredible Hulk Coaster more intense 😂. The biggest surprise was Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom — after riding it, my friend joked that “old rides still hit different” 🚀. It’s like a rough-around-the-edges version of Guardians, with chaotic spins in total darkness. Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom: The backward drop isn’t as fast as I feared, but it’s super fun! The queue is beautifully designed — you’d swear you’re in Western Sichuan if you didn’t know better 🏔️. I can’t remember the rest — they’re mostly kid-friendly coasters, but all totally rideable (no fears needed)! #OrlandoDisney #UniversalStudios #OrlandoUniversal #DisneyRollerCoaster #ThemeParkAdventures #PostMidtermTrip #USATravel #ThrillSeeker
