Living in Central Florida has it's advantages; like amusement parks! So in honor of the good weather, spring (and soon summer) breaks, and high priced theme parks here is Revo's Top 5 Amusement Park Rides! When your done checking out the list leave us a comment and let us know what your favorites are!
5. Dueling Dragons – Islands of Adventure – Any ride that does flips and loops, goes 55 mph, with no floor or anything beneath you, while you are literally 5 feet away from another roller coaster doing the exact same thing will make my list.
4. Tower of Terror – MGM Studios – I’ll admit, this ride gave me nightmares when I was a kid, but now the thrill of dropping several stories through the pitch black while traveling through the “Twilight Zone” is a must do whenever I visit MGM studios. My tip: take a penny with you and when you are falling let the penny go about 6 inches away from your face, since the ride gives you about 2-3 seconds of zero gravity the penny will just float there in front of you.
3. Splash Mountain – Magic Kingdom – Pure, classic, gold. This ride is a 10 minute jerky-robot old-timey-music filled adventure of a rabbit that gets in trouble with a bear and fox, then you climb and climb up a steep hill…more jerky-robot storytelling…another small climb…then you look over the whole park and fall straight down into a pool of water that is going to absolutely soak you. All the while people are on a bridge laughing at you as you pass underneath. Doesn’t get any better than that!
2. The Incredible Hulk – Islands of Adventure – Ok, no tricks, no story telling, no robots or corny music, just an incredibly fast, blood rushing, diving, looping, twisting, g-forcing, vomit inducing, roller coaster that will leave you dizzy. Perfect.
1. Haunted Mansion – Magic Kingdom – This is my ultimate favorite amusement park ride I’ve ever been on. There are no flips, dives, or spins; heck…the car thing barely moves at all but the fun happens as soon as you get in line (which turns out to be a pun-filled cemetery) and lasts until when the creepy person on the treadmill thing tells you the ride is over. Just to try and sum up how awesome this ride is here are just a few of the things you experience; a room that stretches (with a surprise ending), a ball room full of dancing ghosts, a graveyard where zombies are having a party, a ladies head in a crystal ball, and the icing on the cake…a ghost actually sits next to you on the ride! And don’t be fooled by the zombies and ghosts, this ride is as harmless as…well…a ghost.

Doctor Doom's Fearfall is pretty sick!
Shiekra and king da ka should be up there too.
Cool post you got here. I'd like to read more about this matter.
By the way look at the design I've made myself A level escorts
