There are vids of, Seaworld (made by Tracy) and then 3 I've done, Busch, Universal and IOA.

Here are the links.

We went on 25th November and we were there obviously into early December, all the rides were pretty much walk on and many were empty early on, on Kraken we got the front row with no que and there were no more than half a dozen people on the ride. This was pretty much the same in all the parks and the longest que we had was probably, Rhino Rally, where we waited maybe 15 mins or so.

We also went the same time of year in 2005 (late November/early December) and it was pretty much the same again. We were also there for the Thanksgiving weeked and expected big crowds and ques, but even that first weekend wasnt that bad (nothing like July/August)

The water area in Universal is in the Kidzone section of the park, that section with the water is called "Curious George" and its situated between, ET Adventure and Woody Woodpeckers Nuthouse Coaster. Not sure when it opened but I dont think it was there in 2002 when we went, but it was there in 2004 when we next visited.

I made the vids a few months ago but just never got round to uploading them for some reason, I have made a few now and I previously posted some from our 2005 trip. I also just remembered I also have a, Blackpool, vid on the webspace from last summer which has a good few coasters and such on for those into the rides, thats at, http://www.hotfloridasun.co.uk/blackpool.wmv

Also the, not so camera shy youngster in the vids is our Nephew, we took him last year for his first holiday abroad as it was his 9th birthday and because earlier in the summer we took him to Southport and he became obsessed with Roller Coasters, so he loved Florida.

[ElaineD]

Fantastic videos I thoroughly enjoyed watching them. You all looked liked you had a great time especially your Nephew, it was good seeing him having so much fun.

I'm not long back and it's bringing back some lovely memories from my holiday, thanks for posting these.

[carpe diem]

Just tried to watch them, looks like the Dibb has blown your bandwidth!

Will try later, they sound fab!

[Nikki_1]

Fab videos

After watching all of them my son (7) is most looking forward to going to Universal ad running over the water fountains on the Ground :)

I told him I could have done this for free with the hose in the garden and saved £££££

Kids eh??????

I pretty much expected that the vids would exceed my badwidth allocation eventually as I dont have that much bandwidth on the site, but the site is only really used for storage and such and so its no big deal.

I will also upload the vids onto YouTube incase the bandwidth issue takes a while to reset itself, and allthough the quality obviously wont be as good on YouTube, at least it means they are still watchable if anyone wishes to see them.

It will still take me a while to get them uploaded as YouTube seems very slow for this and they are BIG files and so as soon as I start to get them up on there I will post the alternate links on here.

[essexmick]

i cant watch any as i get this message

Fantastic videos thanks for posting them. Parks looked wonderful. I`m getting soooooo excited after watching them. I hope i`ve got the courage to go on the big ones when we get there, i`m normally a bit chicken with heights but i`m determined to go on everything.
