strapping in! This high-tech ride is customized just for you and, it’s all on

Swooping across SeaWorld is Manta a fabulous new ‘ray’ inspired coaster. After getting securely strapped into place your legs are raised gently up behind you, so you are actually suspended beneath the ‘wings’ of the car! The sensation is quite different from most coasters and the view to say the least is quite unique! The ground rushes up at you as you dive and twist your way around and at one point you are on your back looking up at the sky!
D'oh! The Simpsons are now officially in residence at Universal Studios. The whole family can ride along with Springfield’s freaky fivesome on this hysterical and somewhat ‘Krusty’ adventure. Simpson’s creator Matt Groening says “The ride is designed to duplicate the Simpsons home-viewing experience, only at high speed and with lots of screaming.” Sounds like a great time to us!
A must-see at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is Jungala. This is one of the best thought out animal encounters we’ve ever experienced. Play tug of war with a big cat, get face to face with a white tiger and watch out for the Orangutans with the squirt guns! Set in the area, the 4-acre attraction invites guests to explore a village hidden deep in the jungle including multi-story family play areas, rides and live entertainment.

The Kennedy Space Center has what is arguably the most impressive new major attraction in Florida with their new Shuttle Launch Experience. Effects include multiple video screens to show different views of the mission, advanced audio effects, and special effects seats - with rumblers and a ‘kicker’ that gives riders a jolt at just the right moments. The best part, your ‘shuttle’ gets tipped vertical, just like the real thing.
