Day 12 10th of November Universal be warned!!!
Today after waking up late we decided we were going to go redo our favourites at universal.
We took a taxi up and were relieved to see the park was fairly quiet. So naturally we made a beeline for the mummy. So so quiet. 10 minute line. Then as we came out 5 minute line. We rode it about 3 or 4 times in a row. And loved every one. Such a great coaster.
we then found ourselves very hungry so we stopped in finnegans for some food. we shared their potato and onion web and some buffalo wings. mmmmm so good the portions were HUGE and so yummy. very much recommended.
From there we got a fast pass for men in black and re rode BTTF. Then we headed into MIB. As always I love this ride. I know its very kid orientated but it makes you really competitive, trying to beat the other carts scores and trying to spin the other cart.
As we came out the line was only 10 mins so we elected to ride again. I hate queuing up for that pre show bit though. Takes forever. After the second ride though our scores had got better and we were having a blast so we elected to try the single riders line. BEST decision we made ALL holiday. Not only did we skip the pre show but we were on the ride within 30 seconds. Yes 30!!!! Seconds. That was it then we just rode the single rider line of MIB about 10 times in a row. Managed to achieve a top score of 697,330. pretty proud of that lol and got the rank of galaxy defender pretty much every time. Had a blast re riding it and so did Jessica. After that we headed out of the park and back to the hotel to rest before dinner.
At this point I was craving a big steak so we decided to cross I-drive to the aussie steak house there however as I began walking I started to feel ill. I got very woozy and tired and lost my appetite. But we kept going anyway as I figured it was just a tiredness thing. After looking at the prices for the aussie steak house I nearly died and we elected to try the tgis sports bar next door. It was a lil noisy but the service was great. After I sat down I started to feel better and enquired about the cost of their beers. A big schooner glass(pint and ½?) was only $3.75. I had him go double check because the tgis up the road wanted 6 bucks for the same size drink. Yep its 3.75 he assures me to which we think FINALLY a place thats reasonably priced.
I had the small 6oz flat iron steak as my appetite was shaky still. Jessica was so hungry she ordered mozzarella sticks as a starter and jack Daniels steak and shrimp as a main course swearing blind she would eat it all.
And she did!!! She kept saying this is my Everest. Must finish it all. In fact she was that hungry and had no problem devouring it hehe.
After that we got a early night as I still wasnt feeling great.
