Orlando Spring Break

After the Shrek 4-D show, we had now covered the whole park with some time to spare. We now had the chance to go back and ride several rides for the second time. We chose to ride the Return of the Mummy ride again because it was sweet, then went back to Amity to encounter Jaws for the second time. This time around, I was prepared with my camera to get a picture of Jaws when he pops out of the water. I sat closest to the edge so that I would have the best angle, and I ended up getting this sweet picture.

We then moved on to the Hollywood portion of the park. There was this trick photography thing set up to show you how they add a background on to actual buildings. As you can see, this hill with the Hollywood sign is just a painting, the buildings behind it are real. Movies and effects sure do go all out to trick us. After witnessing Hollywood trickery, we moved on to the Terminator 3-D show. The next show wasn't for awhile, so we decided to come back later. We found ourselves back at the entrance so we saw the Shrek 4-D show. 4-D is basically a 3-D show with added physically effects such as wind when the carriage is riding through the fields, a splash of water in the face when their is mist, and other things like that. It was rather hilarious, as it takes place between the two good movies of the Shrek franchise - Shrek 1 and Shrek 2. The most upsetting part about this ride is that it made me want to see Shrek 3, and once I did, I immediately regretted my decision. Shrek 3 was what I like to call a franchise killer. You could rename it a WMD and drop it upon the Middle East and end the war in Iraq. It's actually a bit inhumane to subject people to that type of cruelty, so I don't think the United States would ever stoop that low and give the world that bomb. Oh wait, in May of 2007 they already did. Good Lord, this world is screwed because Hollywood keeps releasing junk like Shrek 3.
