Visiting Woody Woodpecker’s Kidzone & World Expo at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando, USA
Filed Under (Florida, Orlando, Travelling, USA) by Janet on 14-02-2009
The time now is about 4.30pm on Valentine’s Day 2009 when Dear & I arrive back in Universal Studios Florida in Orlando, USA - here visiting Woody Woodpecker’s Kidzone designed specially for younger children :
We stop to watch a LIVE stage performance hosted by Woody Woodpecker which is the Mascot of Universal Studios Florida………..
Hey look at this most interesting Stroller Parking Sign - which is made up of a large authentic United States of America One Cent Coin stamped with the Head of Woody Woodpecker - how lovely!!
Dear & I now approach ET Adventure here in Woody Woodpecker’s Kidzone at Universal Studios Florida :
Based on the 1982 Hit Film ET The Extra-Terrestrial - ET Adventure attraction Ride allows guests to board ET’s starbound Bicycle to help ET save his dying Planet……….
Haha cutie cutie ET - that’s Dear’s & my favourite Alien Movie during our younger days……..& I’ve really been looking forward to this Attraction Ride - but to our utmost disappointments, ET Adventure is closed today!!
How very strange is that huh considering it’s Saturday today & supposedly a Peak period day - don tell me ET’s gone dating with his girlfriend cos it’s Valentine’s Day today!?!? But hey I don remember ET having a girlfriend……….may be he’s just being mischievous & has gone out playing - thus missing from here for us……….
Guess Dear & I can only try finding ET somewhere else - at this following ET Toy Closet next to ET Adventure :
Hey Dear I’m right ET’s really here!!! Come look at how cute he is - Oh I miss you so much ET!!!!
Saying goodbye to ET soon afterwards, Dear & I move on towards World Expo at Universal Studios Florida here in Orlando, USA - walking past Animal Actors on Location! featuring Live stage show with Trained animals - unfortunately we’ve just missed its last 4.45pm show :((
Inspired by the international expositions of the 20th Century, World Expo combines the ultra-modern architecture of the 1960s & today’s world - now we’re looking at International Food & Film Festival :
Haha Dear & I are very thirsty again here under today’s hot weather as Dear queues for yet another Drink for us - this time at this following Squishee Cart for freezing Wild Cherry Explosion :
Well, I’d actually wanted the Blue Raspberry Confusion but too bad we soon find out there’s only Wild Cherry Explosion served today!! Good too since I love redy redy Cherries - remembering the American Cherry Chocolates I bought at The Florida Mall recently heheh!!
Snapping pics of World Expo while waiting for Dear to buy the Wild Cherry Explosion - here’s Krustyland (see its near-by beautiful Palm Trees!!) where the new Simpsons Ride is located :
Created in animation by American Cartoonist, Screenwriter & Producer Matt Groening - The Simpsons is an American Animated Television Sitcom featuring middle-class American lifestyle set in the fictional city of Springfield.
Here’re The Simpsons Ride Visitor Guides :
There’re Flags here outside Krustyland (by the Lagoon) featuring the World’s Favourite Animated Family - The Simpsons Family members such as Lisa Simpson, Homer Simpson & Maggie Simpson :
Still remember Me watching The Simpsons Cartoon on TV at home was my favourite passtime back during my uni days in Geelong, Australia - it was so funny funny I simple adore it hahah!!!
And now I’ve wanted so much to take The Simpsons Ride - located right inside Krustyland entering through the huge MOUTH of comical Simpson Hormer!!!
But as expected, there’re long queues to it that Dear & I have to give it a miss - so sad so sad……….
See my Squishee Wild Cherry Explosion with The Simpsons Ride advertisement :
Mmm……mm……..the Ice-blended Wide Cherry Explosion is a true thirst-quencher frozing BRAIN-freezer jazzing up Dear’s & my energy in this so hot sunny weather!! SUPERB!!
We’re now walking past Roboasis - a Coca-Cola themed drink Stall past Krustyland in World Expo here at Universal Studios Florida :
Let’s see a very cool Coca-Cola Personal Refreshment Dispenser at Roboasis :
Hahah Dear & I have actually been looking out for a nice Collectible Souvenir Cup of drinks (to be purchased in Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios Florida!) that allows later refilling of drinks (by a small top-up amount!), but so far we’ve seen none that I like……….
Anyway, Dear & I have now arrived at a Men in Black - MIB Gear Shop - located next to Men in Black Alien Attack attraction here in World Expo at Universal Studios Florida :
Here it is - the Men in Black Alien Attack attraction………
Haha I’ve actually been telling Dear about this Attraction Ride before coming to Orlando, & Dear’s extremely excited now that he’s finally here!!
This Men in Black Alien Attack building resembles a Pavilion at the 1964 New York World Fair (depicting a fictional World’s Fair), & its 2 Towers resembling their real life Counterparts :
Here’s an Universal Studios Florida - Men in Black Alien Attack Visitor Guide - WHOA it sure looks very EXCITING!!!
Well, based on the Men in Black (MIB) Film, MIB is a Top-Secret Agency that polices, monitors & directs Alien activity on Earth, establishing Earth as an apolitical “Neutral Zone” for Alien Refugees.
And Men in Black Alien Attack attraction allows Guests to be “recruited” as MIB Agent Trainees at MIB Headquarters - upon which an Alien Prison Ship has crushed landed in New York City causing these MIB Agent Trainees to board Training Vehicles with Laser Guns on hands, & then launched into an Action-packed Ride, shooting at the Aliens & attempting to save New York City!!
And again, I am the Bags-holder (taking care of Dear’s large backpack instead of using the Lockers!) so that Dear can have his chance of becoming a MIB Agent & enjoy his Men in Black Alien Attack!!
But it’s alright cos I enjoy sitting outside the Attraction enjoying watching the late afternoon go by………And people-watching many visiting Americans sitting down & mostly even lying down on the grass grounds under the HOT sun outside Men in Black Alien Attack - cosily & most warmly & so happily, chatting & playing with their familes or kids!!
Heheh the Americans simply LOVE the Hot HOT sun & they thoroughly enjoys it!!
The stated Queuing time placed outside Men in Black Alien Attack attraction is about 20 mins - however about 35mins later………..
I receive Dear’s text message - “Should not have taken the queue is so long inside - you have to wait so long think will be out in 15mins time la - you rest we have good dinner tonight la last day!!”
Well, let me now show you pics taken by Dear inside Men in Black Alien Attack attraction here in World Expo at Universal Studios Florida USA :
Below’s the pretty cool Queuing area of Men in Black Alien Attack inside MIB Headquarters :
Notice anything creepy down below in the Universe & You! Exhibition inside Men in Black Alien Attack Headquarters?!?!
YEA YEA sure these are ALIENS of course working on the Labs - eer!!! looking at them actually gives Me goose pimples all over my body……….
And here’s Rip Torn as Chief Zed who’s the Head of MIB narrating in the Pre-show of Men in Black Alien Attack attraction ride - before Dear & the rest of the “newly recruited MIB Agent Trainees“ begin engaging in a battlefield shooting Alien monsters to save New York City!!
After close to an hour later, Dear appears out of Men in Black Alien Attack looking pretty satisfied & happy & telling me :
“More for kids hahah, but quite fun & exciting shooting the Monsters cos the Seats can rotate……….overall it’s pretty interesting!!”
Here’s a snapshot of Krustyland (where The Simpson Ride is!) across the Lagoon from where Dear & I are here outside Men in Black Alien Attack :
Dear & I are now walking towards the other themed areas of Universal Studios Florida after Dear poses infront of Fear Factor Live (an American Stunt/Dare Reality Game Show!) here in Orlando, Florida USA……….
See you in a while!!
