CycloneMan Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 We arrived at Universal Orlando at around 6:30. We were there to see the Cydni Lauper concert and the Mardis Gras parade, but we got there early to take a stroll around the park and get dinner. Hollywood Drive is opened and popular. I seriously need to make time to do this. We only did Universal Studios Florida today. There's only one more week left of Mardis Gras Despicable Me is coming along and is set to open on time. Hey there Mardis Gras stilt walkers! They're costumes were fantastic. The others I was with got better pictures than I did. But here you go. Yup....pretty fantastic. Cyndi, it's not your time yet! We will see you later tonight. The park area had some little food vendors set up and gypsy tents. Universal's Cinematic Spectacular is almost ready for it's opening night. Note to self, don't stand here. Looking down the street of San Francisco you can see the emptiness that was once Amity Island at the end. Bruce finally got a new home next to Richter's As much as it saddens me to see the final bit of the Jaws Ride gone, it is nice to see Bruce in his new location. That as you can tell by this photo, fits well. This used to be Amity Island. When walking into the site formerly known as Amity, this is all you see. I wonder how long this sign will still be here. A couple of thematic elements are still left in Amity on the other side of the wall. The restroom building is the only building left from Amity Island. This used to be... ...this. Alright, enough of the depressing stuff. Let's move on shall we? After dinner, I decided to take a ride on Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. It was running really smooth tonight. Fun ride, but still not the best. We got our spot for the concert first, so we watched the Mardis Gras parade from a far tonight. I don't have that many photos because, as you see, people were throwing their hands in the air trying to catch beads and I was too busy trying to dodge them... However, I did end up catching 12 bead necklaces The air boat float from a far. The Bourbon Street float. After this photo, I gave up trying to get photos of the parade. This was our spot for the concert. It may be a little far back, but I was content with it. I also really like how Rockit is right behind the stage. Shhhh, Cyndi Lauper's on. Okay kids, that's all for now. See you next time. -Dainan "Cyndi put on an excellent concert btw" Rafferty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up_Up_and_Away Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Notice how the Amity restrooms has black banners hanging on the windows. They're red & navy blue to fit the area's bicentennial theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
