There is a burning question on every visitor's mind when they come to Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida. Is the Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts ride worth the 3-5 hour wait. The answer is ABSOLUTELY! Especially for the uber Harry Potter fans.
On site hotel guests get early admittance into the park, 7 am. Regular park guests at 8 am. My friend and I live in Leesburg and Lady Lake, respectively. We left Leesburg at 5:15 am as to ensure good parking because I have disabled parking. We arrived at around 6:15 am and were the first ones in the section of the parking garage. They let us into the park right away but we were cued from getting to anything other than the Universal Studios Store and the bakery in the front of the park, which was perfectly fine. Hotel guests were getting through the check point inside the gate at 6:30 we noticed. We walked around to the right, where the Terminator show is located, where we were hemmed up into a wait line. They let us into the park for Diagon Alley at 7:45 am. We got in line for Gringott's by 8 am and the line was 210 minutes long, 3 1/2 hours.
While waiting in line there is a goblin train car on display that is pretty cool. When you walk into the bank you will be enthralled with the large chandeliers in the room. There are goblins to the left and the right of the room. They are doing what they do best, crunching numbers. You are then greeted by Bogrod. You then proceed to the ride. There are a fair number of stairs to get up to the ride. If you are disabled make sure to ask for an elevator when you get in line and they will let you know where it is.
The ride cars seat 24 people at a time. On the ride you will see Bellatrix, Voldemort, Bill, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Its quite intense for young riders. This ride is one of a kind in the world, no other ride like it exists. Its a combination roller coaster and 3D movie. Its extremely realistic and breath taking. I cannot say much more without giving away the ride! Experience it for yourself.
Here is some information on the ride:
It is 3D
Guests must be 42 inches to ride
Family friendly

Paul Walker- A Star Taken Too Soon
I have been contemplating what to write for a few days now to get it right. Paul Walker was a star that shined brightly on earth. He had a spirit like no other. He did great and wonderous charity work around the world. He did wonders through his acting. Most people do not know that Paul Walker starred in over 30 movies including Into the Blue, Varsity Blues, Takers, Skulls, Hours, The Lazerous Project, and 7 out of 8 Fast and Furious movies. He was currently filming Fast & Furious 7. No one knows where that project is going to go but I am sure it is going to be a tribute to Paul.
Several people have made the statement that they will not go to see Fast & Furious 7. I say why not? It is Paul's last film and street racing was dear to his heart. I plan on seeing the movie, I want to remember Paul doing what he loved the most- acting and street racing.
Paul was a star taken from us on earth and now he is a star placed in the heavens. Let us take a moment to remember Paul and the good things he brought into this world. Donate to his charity ROWW if you have time. It was his charity and whenever there was a world disaster he was there donating not just money but his time. He was there hands on helping to rebuild and help victims of natural disasters. Paul was truly a gifted and talented man.
Rest in peace, buster. We love and miss you buddy.

Daily Kos: Sexist Rush Limbaugh Refers to Single Mothers as "Semen Receptacles"
This man has the audacity to call us single moms sperm receptacles! It is not the fault of the moms if the dads refuse to step up and act like men. Don't have a baby with a woman and then leave her because shit got real. You think its the moms that are getting hurt? Guess again! It is the children that get hurt. Limbaugh needs to put his mouth in check! He is a sexist bitch. I am disgusted and appalled that he would say something like this. What about the single moms out there that are single moms because their husbands or boyfriends were killed at war, or died from car accidents, diseases, or even suicide because they were mentally ill. Someone needs to shut his fat fucking pie hole for him. There is no call for him to say something like this.

Daylight Savings Time
I really hate it!! Every 6 months my body's clock gets screwed up. I've been up since 7:45 am! I'm never up this early unless I gotta be somewhere like the doctor's or Universal Studios!
