We decided to see the show Poseidon's Fury next located in the Lost Continent. The entrance to the building is really stunning. It is made to look like the ruins of an old temple. We decided to see Posiedon's Fury. The wait line is made to look like the spooky corridors of the temple and it feels like you are walking into an Indiana Jones scene in the Temple of Doom. The show is very interactive as the audience is moved from one room to another. It experience is a little scary for young kids because you are often in the dark with a scary voice threatening your to end life but it was highly entertaining for us adults. The end show has special effects and explosions/fire tricks in the water. We both really liked it!
So after the show it was getting pretty hot outside so John convinced me to go on the Jurassic Park River Adventure. I was going to wear a poncho incase I got wet but my husband kept laughing at the idea and no one else was wearing one so I thought how wet could I really get...Oh was I wrong! I got soaked. As the boat dropped a big wave splashed up and landed just on me. I was the only one in the boat who got soaked. Figures!
This is me in the Jurassic Park store after the Ride. I was soaked and freezing.
We were about to step out when all of a sudden, the sky broke open and it started pouring rain. It look like we were in a tropical storm of some kind cause the winds picked up and I froze even more.
After waiting for 20 min under the cover of a fast food overhang, we decided to walk to through the rain to get to our hotel. I could not take being that cold anymore.
When we got to the resort, we were soaked all the way down to our underwear. And of course, as soon as we got to our room, the rain stopped!
We decided to take a hot shower and a little nap instead of going back to the park. We were pretty fed up anyway. That evening we got dressed up and took the boat to Universal's City Walk which is filled with restaurants and nightly entertainment. We decided to go casual and ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp.
John took a Coronarita which is basically a margarita with a bottle of Corona mixed in. We both laughed at the presentation.
John and I ordered the Shrimper's Heaven that comes with coconut shrimp, shrimp with fries, tempura shrimp and chilled cocktail shrimp . It was really good! then for dessert we shared a key lime pie, also delicious.
I cheated and took two lactaid pills to eat this but it was worth it!
Universal City Walk is really fun at night and I found it much more entertaining than Downtown Disney since it is more geared towards an adult clientele.
