I wanted very much to like it, and parts of it are indeed awesome. It suffers so badly from split personality disorder that it's hard to figure out if it's a two or three star review, but ultimately I'd say the bad parts sour it down to a two. The coaster itself looks pretty sweet. The fronts of the trains are cartoonishly over the top what with the over-sized dynamite sticks but as somebody who grew up on Tex Avery and Chuck Jones cartoons I can dig it. The first drop is nice and the barrel roll is a blast. (See what I did there?) There's some satisfying pops of airtime on most every drop after that, too. So what's the problem here? The freakin turns. In mine opinion they blow. Most every turn on this bad boy is very sharp and overbanked and trains get insanely rough every time you pass through one. It's like sitting on top of a paint mixer. There's a bunch of em, too. So, yeah, pretty big bummer there. This coaster is still very young and I don't know how it rode originally but I cringed and braced for every turn here. If only it had less sharp turns and more airtime hills. On my visit I bought a daily all-you-can-ride pass that was good for both the Kissimmee spot and it's sister park in Orlando, expecting to marathon both Mine Blower and White Lightning in Orlando. As it turned out I was very much over Mine Blower after just two rides. Nobody else was riding it either. Only an occasional, mostly empty train went out while the sparse crowd rode go karts instead. It's too bad. This could be an awesome roller coaster. I wonder if there's anyway to retrack the turns to make it more bearable.

FAMILY GO-KART ADVENTURE!!!…read more For a quick and fun Go Kart outing this place has it!!! Our whole Family LOVES Go Karting!!! Here are the highs and lows of Kissimmee Go Karts!!! If your going here just to ride some go karts for 11 laps then this place will fill that want!!! The Arcade is oldish and expensive. Not really worth it unless you get a free game card. The way to get a free game card is to join their coupon club. You get 2ct. 11 lap bracelets and 2ct 5$ game cards for 45$ so joining is worth it if you're a resident or visit the area frequently. This place is really just to go and ride and leave. They do have gators which are cool to look at or feed, but that only fills a small amount of time. The staff is always friendly. You do have to stop every lap to turn in a tab from your bracelet. It is how they count your laps around. It does slow you down, but I have found it also lets you catch up to your peeps at times. We have never had any challenges here and we have been here over 20 times since our kids were small to now adults. This is just my honest review of Kissimmee Go-Karts AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

The small gators was also fed, and the staff was very friendly and nice. The kids loved the small gators. That made our break from the theme parks great. Loved the track and the flexibility so the whole family could attend! Recommend this business!

I recently went to Discovery Cove to attend Paradise Nights and had an awesome time!…read more Paradise Nights is a one of a kind dinner show at Discovery Cove. Discovery Cove is such a beautiful venue. I literally could have stayed there all day. It's so scenic with the rivers, waterfalls, beach, winding pathways and the serene sounds of wildlife! I absolutely loved it. Upon entry we were greeted by staff members and checked in and given a badge to indicate to staff within the park that we were attending Paradise Nights. Once check in was complete, our first op was awaiting us in the lobby accompanied by a self serve wall of rum punch. Dinner was a staff served all you can eat buffet. The food was surprisingly tasty. There was shrimp and grits, seafood paella Chicken paella, chicken asada, grilled churrasco steak with chimichurri, maduros, yucca fries. There was a prepared salad and water already placed at your assigned table. I did not eat the salad and as surprised that salad was even being served with the current health issue related to various fresh produce. I saw a lot of people not even touching their salads. Beverages were included like soft drinks, tea, lemonade, etc. Dessert included 3 options pineapple upside down cake, tres leche, and jumbo chocolate cupcake. I had the chocolate cupcakes it wasn't that sweet and was just ok. I really enjoyed my meal it was warm and tasty. All parties were sat with their perspective guests so it was nice to have your own table for just you and whoever you came with. Each table had a waiter/waitress that refilled our beverages, brought napkins and straws, cleared our plates, and cleaned our table. The show was nice and took place at sunset. The finale was the best part! The show was broken up into 3 segments kind of like beginning, middle, and end. It was an open and semi covered pavilion with 3 stages. The performances rotated among the 3 stages but were predominantly performing around the center stage. The show was based on the principles of earth, air, water, & fire. There was a drummer, dancers, and aerial performers. The finale was awesome there was an actual fire dancer. He juggled, twirled, tossed rolled over and jumped over fire sticks it was great! I really enjoyed my time and would definitely like to return to Discovery Cove to enjoy the park during the day.

I literally moved from North Carolina to Orlando Florida just to be closer. Now fast forward about 12 years later and after taking 37 cruises, visiting 40 countries, seeing all 50 states, this is still my favorite place to vacation!!!! The food, the drinks, the atmosphere (ive been here when its pouring, cold, and still enjoyed it) the music the animals, everything is great. You really feel like you are transported to world that isn't in busy Orlando Florida. I really hope Discovery Cove Management see's this review and understands how much I love this place. It started my content creation career as a teen as I wanted my NC friends to know exactly what I experience. I have recently made a complete guide of this park on youtube, just search MrBucketlist Discovery Cove Guide. I can't recommend this enough!!

It might be that I'm lame af, too, since I rode it solo but my car barely spun at all during the whole first series of turns. No decent drops at all here. Even for a family coaster this thing is very much lacking in excitement. What a waste of sponsorship money for Rockstar energy drink. Hopefully the insipidly named Mine Blower coaster that will rise at this park will be a hell of lot better than Rockstar. This thing is definitely not worth the trip to Kissimmee for a coaster fan. Stick to the Orlando Fun Spot, home of the wild White Lightning.

We had a great time at SeaWorld Orlando overall, and it was a fun day for our whole family. Our…read morefavorite areas were definitely the penguin habitat and the dolphin exhibits. Seeing the animals up close was the highlight of our visit. A little tip if you're planning to visit the penguins: bring a light jacket or hoodie! It feels like winter inside, and after spending time in the Florida heat, the temperature difference is a real surprise. A few things to keep in mind before you go. Parking is $35, and getting into the parking lot can take a while. When we arrived, there was a long line of cars because only three attendants were working while five entry lanes were open. For such a large park, it would be nice to have more booths staffed during busy times. I also highly recommend buying your tickets online. The ticket purchase lines at the entrance were very long, and buying in advance can save you a lot of time. Personally, I think the best time to visit SeaWorld Orlando is during the winter months. The cooler weather makes walking around the park much more enjoyable, and visiting the penguin habitat feels even better. Summer can be challenging because of the frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Unfortunately, it started raining with thunder during our visit, and all of the rides and roller coasters were temporarily closed until the weather improved. Despite those inconveniences, we still had a wonderful time and created some great family memories. If you love marine animals, SeaWorld Orlando is definitely worth visiting.

The roller coasters were down due to lightning . Girls enjoyed themselves on that day. After informing them we would get up early 2 days later and return they were excited! They do not take cash but they do have a cash to card machine that will load your cash onto a card from the machine. Very helpful. We enjoyed a water ride. Only blemishes on trip. Fire & Ice waited 30+ minutes only to be told it was closed down so we left the line. Then we are told it reopened.. so we are in front of line and they said it had another mishap... Unfortunate. But a 10 minute delay later and we were able to ride it. The lockers situation was rather sad. Just a month ago I was at six flags St Louis and they also had lockers. A bit bigger. most rides they had a storage cubby area for riders to store backpacks... SeaWorld Orlando not so much. Because of the delays. I got the opportunity to pay the expired locker fee. Brutal in my perspective. I think it's different if it was my fault... But learning lesson for me. Dolphin show rocked. Orca show was cool. Sea lion show was fantastic! Girls loved petting the stingray. Cool park. I wasted my money on all day dining on day one. Not something you get a raincheck on. Unfortunately.

EPCOT Is the Perfect Blend of Disney Magic, Food, Culture, and Adventure…read more Our recent visit to EPCOT was one of the highlights of our Disney vacation! We spent days exploring the different pavilions, enjoying incredible food and drinks, shopping, and experiencing the attractions. EPCOT truly offers something for everyone, and we loved how every part of the park felt like a different experience. We enjoyed visiting the World Showcase, sampling foods and beverages from around the world, and taking time to explore the unique details in each pavilion. From Germany and Japan to France, Canada, Mexico, and beyond, there was always something new to see, taste, or experience. We also enjoyed some amazing meals and snacks throughout the day, including Le Cellier, Le Chefs de France, Biergarten, Kringla Bakeri, La Cava de Tequila, San Angel Inn, and several other stops along the way. One of the best things about EPCOT is that you can create your own experience. You can focus on the attractions, spend the day enjoying the food and drinks, explore the cultural details, shop, or simply take your time walking around and soaking in the atmosphere. We did a little bit of everything, which made for a perfect Disney day. As two adults, we especially appreciated the food, beverages, cultural experiences, and relaxed pace that EPCOT offers. Every visit gives us something new to discover, and this trip was no exception. EPCOT remains one of our favorite Disney parks, and after our recent visit, we are already looking forward to returning!

Knocking off one star because the park is massive and the walking is absolutely brutal, especially in the Orlando heat. Lines for the popular rides and food booths get pretty crazy, but it's a must-visit and a totally different vibe from the other parks. We ended finishing the night with an AYCE buffet (Germany) and a firework show at the end.
