Coaster Review- Hydra

After visiting Dorney Park in Pennsylvania, you cannot forget the ride of your life on Hydra: The Revenge, a floorless style coaster that brings riders through six spine tingling inversions. What makes this coaster so unique you ask? Hydra is well know for having an inversion (heartline roll) while coming straight out of the station. The ride takes guests up a lift chain and sends them through the ride of their life filled with extreme air time, all while their feet dangle above the track. You will experience corkscrews, zero-g rolls, a cobra roll and more as your   heart continues to pound with nonstop excitement. The first inversion, the heartline roll, causes riders to slowly suspend upside down, having nothing but the restraints holding them into their seats, as they hang for a split second. The rest of the ride quickly brings guests through several more gravity defying elements that will make you beg for more. Hydra takes two pictures for guests to purchase; one upside down during the hearline roll, and the next after the corkscrew before the cobra roll. Once purchased, both pictures will appear on the photo card. Hydra is a great ride for those thrill seekers who want something new. The ride has nonstop excitement and will have you jumping back on line just to get the full rush all over again. After experiencing Hydra, you will realize that there's nothing else like it out there. An interesting thing to know about Hydra is that there have been many disputes to whether or not the ride has seven inversions since it hasn't been professionally proven just yet. The "dive loop" after the first drop may seem to bring riders completely upside down; some agree to this while others feel they are close to it but not nearly there. Why don't you ride it and decide for yourself?

Coaster Review - The Incredible Hulk

For those of you who leave in Florida or visit Florida frequently may have heard about the exciting Universal Studios theme park located in Orlando. Universal is known as the one theme park built in Orlando that suits everyone whether they are riding the Dr.Seuss carousel or the Dragon Challenge dueling coasters.
Universal has a variety of attractions for all ages however it is the Incredible Hulk coaster that differentiates the thrill seekers from the gentile riders. After waiting on the queue where guests see the lab of Bruce Banner.  They reach the loading station where they await their fate. Riders are strapped in sitting down in rows of four and exit the station into a green tunnel that is filled with lights and sound. The train slowly lifts up the tunnel while hearing Bruce Banner explain that this time 'Everything seems fine ' but his plan of stabilizing as a human seems to fail once the warning sounds and flashing red lights appear, launching riders up the top of the hill at 40mph in two seconds into an inversion and reaching speeds up to 67mph.
Riders are put upside down at the top of the hill and plummet down toward the pond that centers the park. The coaster goes into a huge cobra roll following a vertical loop that gives riders a tingly feeling and sends them into another misty tunnel that cools riders down for a split second.
The ride continues at fast speeds into 6 inversions including another vertical loop and two corkscrews finally finishing at a break and making riders want to jump back into line again just to get another amazing rush.

This ride is great for those who love speed,  nonstop excitement, and a launching rush through their body. Not bad for a junior rider or a first timer but the pregnant and faint hearted should probably pass on this one. FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT WWW.UNIVERSALORLANDO.COM

Thrill Seeker Since Birth

As a kid I never thought I would be so obsessed with finding new ways to get that adrenaline rush. I used to be crazy afraid of riding the smallest of roller coasters because I never knew what to expect. I would always be caught with my heart pounding out of its chest to the point that I would make myself sick.

Years later I am now 18, an adult, well at least legally but now I can never get enough of getting that tingly feeling in my stomach. You can think of it as an obsession but hey, being addicted to adrenaline rushes beats being addicted to alcohol or drugs any day.

The adrenaline I seem to enjoy most seems to come from roller coasters. I grew a large fascination over them throughout the years to a point where I even started simulation projects in order to create them, all unique. It was a form of expression through a creative matter. I cant help but visit Six Flags what feels like hundreds of times throughout the year ( yes I am a proud season pass holder) and never seem to get tired of it. I get excited visiting new theme parks, getting those rushes, and experiencing new adventures.

I give a lot of credit to my grandfather for being by my side through all of this because even till this day at seventy something years old he is still the number one person I can count on to be the one to experience all these roller coasters with. No roller coaster is too tall, too fast, or too crazy for either of us and I admire him greatly for his strength and drive.

Call me a loser but many times people are asked what their dream job would be, and they would say a doctor, a journalist, a fashion designer, but I always had a different response than the others. My dream job would be to work for Disney as an Imagineer; being able to design and create cruise ships, hotels, theme parks, and rides all through Disney. Disney is known as the happiest place on earth, and having a job with them would make me expect nothing less than the happiest job on earth making others happy.
