Floridian Adventure!

Postby Martyn on Fri Apr 17, 2009 4:38 pm

Yes in September I'm off to the Orange County for 10 days! Cant bloody wait I tell ya!

We're not going there for the theme parks etc, its just a holiday, thuogh we are going to a few parks ;)

Parks we're visiting:

Knotts Berry Farm

Universal Studio's Hollywood

Sea World San Diego

Six Flags Magic Mountain

Disneyland Resort

Other hotspots we'll be 'chilling' at:

Santa Monica Bay

Venice Beach

Beverly Hills

Hollywood

Down Town LA.

Prepare for like the biggest photo trip report the internet has ever seen :lol:. We were going to be doing Florida, but everyone does that, so we thought we'd go somewhere a bit different from the norm.

Just a few parks... :D haha.

This trip sounds amazing! I hope X is open for you at Magic Mountain... I used to obsess about that coaster when I was like 7, lol.

You must have been saving for a while and it definately sounds worth it :D

^ No? Just put a deposit down and pay the balance nearer the time?

I'm looking forward to riding X2 and Deja Vu but thats about it really.

Well I've been on a flying coaster already. I cant see it being that much different from Air, if a little faster.

Suppose I'm also looking forward to Scream, that'll be my first Floorless coaster.

Unfortunetly, this trip maybe cancelled, for this year at least. We're currently in the middle of deciding wether to go on this holiday, or buy this:

Which would mean we have a home in Skeggy! :D

Well we bought the caravan!

But we're not cancelling the holiday, we're just going to move it to Spring next year. Everything is staying the same, we're still going to visit the same parks I mentioned above.

:D

Well we did change the holiday to September2010, everything was fine, then Virgin decided to bump up the price by £400, which I wasn't too pleased about, so to save loosing our deposit, we changed the destintion and we're now going to Florida instead.

Which weirdly I'm not looking forward too as much. Yeah I'll get more credits, but its Florida, everyone's been there. I was looking forward to going somewhere different.

And at Florida you dont get to experience 'real' America, like you would in California.
