SeaWorld Orlando's Manta roller coaster is at 140-feet high and displays 300 manta rays while you wait in line.

Going to Orlando? Don't Miss Out On Universal Studios

9 October, 2009

Florida is just full of different wonderful attractions for every age. But you can't say you've been to Florida and not to Universal Studios Florida. That would just be the ultimate tragedy if you didn't include that in your places to see in Orlando. Come adults, you know it's not just exciting for the kids. You love the place too.

There are many rides to experience from the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man to Revenge of the Mummy. The shows are not to be missed as well. If you haven't seen the "Blue Man Group", make that a "must-see". They are so full of vitality, funny and very talented. And during the Halloween season, don't miss the Halloween Horror Nights. Much fun is to be had by everyone!
