Quite a day
Got caught in torture chamber and was sneezed on by a donkey. Was attacked by and shot up some space aliens. Was locked in hell by some nefarious dead Egyptian megalomaniac but we somehow we escaped through some dark mist. Attacked by a shark immediately after the shark devoured the previous tour boat, and only our tour guide's facility with a grenade launcher saved us from certain doom.
After that, we saw a band starting up a show, so we stopped in, but they turned out to be monsters playing 80s music accompanied by pyrotechnics. People kept stepping over the benches in contravention of the stated rules, which upset me a little bit.
We had lunch in a restaurant while Jimmy Buffet played on the big screens, but get this, a volcano exploded in the bar and spewed margarita-colored lava that poured into a giant margarita glass.
What do you after a big lunch? Right, a rollercoaster. We were shot out of a giant green cannon, did a whole bunch of flips and turns, and came into port a few minutes later with our lunch well-mixed.
We continued our day with what we thought was a quiet little river tour of a dinosaur park, but that went awry, too — we ended up in the raptor containment unit by mistake, and just narrowly escaped those vicious predators only to be attacked by a giant T-Rex. We sidestepped him by heading down a giant waterfall.
Now what do once you've nearly been eaten by a ferocious lizard? Right, you try to forget by going on another rollercoaster. This one was a hanging rollercoaster, a type I've never been on. You feel like you're hanging in space, you know, except for the flips and turns and giant falls and since your legs are dangling, you think they're gonna crack on everything. Quite fun. Great for my back, too.
Feeling a bit more adventurous, we then went to the ruins of an ancient temple. As with everything else, that went wrong and the tour guide got trapped and his assistant took us on the tour, and we got trapped in the temple, ended up having to go further and further in and got held hostage by this evil obsessive god-stalker and were only saved by Poseidon after he attacked his nemesis. Whew!
Slowing things down, we stopped by what we thought was a safe little house, but it turned out this rhyming cat and his two friends invaded the house and made a big mess and ignoring rather sensible warnings of a goldfish. Fortunately, the cat had this incredible device that cleaned up the mess.
Tired, we went home. Great fun. Who knew so many crazy things can happen to you just walking around Orlando?
