Meh.

The Jurassic Park cars were cool though.

Chopped up ML? Yes please

Explorer. I do think the fog lights on the front bar are in the wrong place.

This one was missing the logos on the sides and there was no way to get a clear picture.

Anyway, it was pretty fun to just walk around, if a bit crowded.

Also, there was a dragon.

There was fire involved.

I like the mercedes better than the jeep or explorer. I remember when the movie came out reading like a little nerd about the many advancements in technology mercedes made and was convinced they would be sweet off road machines.

Star for the dragon.

I haven’t been since they turned The Lost Continent into Harry Potter land or whatever. That was my favorite part of the park, too :(

I did some of the engineering for dueling dragons and poseidons fury. I was sorry to hear the lost continent was sacrificed. Ah, progress. When they were opening Islands of Adventure, I rode several rides in the test phase, including the Hulk coaster. They also had a soft opening day a few days before the park opened and I came with a bunch of coworkers. We rode the rides, then watched a Jimmy Buffet concert at Margaritaville, which was also soft opening.

Yeah. And the Harry Potter part was completely packed. Lines were crazy.

Dueling dragons was really fun though. One of the best coasters I’ve ridden in a while

Oh, man, The Hulk is my all time favorite coaster. That uphill speed boost at the beginning gets me every time. I went on a rainy wednesday during the off season once and the guy running the Hulk let us stay on the coaster as long as we wanted since there was no one in line. I must have sat through 30 laps without taking the harness off.

Cool. I was actually there two years ago, on this day exactly. :) they’ve moved the ML it seems. From what I recall, it looked like a replica to me. It was missing some parts and looked a bit... off.

me too. I always wanted to build one since like 1996 also i didn’t realize they are made in USA.

I need to research how much jumps they can take and how many lockers i can install.

Still, the ML, if it is a replica, is still pretty well done. And...and... Are those cloth seats?!
