Typhoon Lagoon - Surfs Up!!!

Advantages: Loads to do in a day
Disadvantages: Wow thats alot of sun

...Introduction ************ Disney?s Typhoon Lagoon has been open since 1988. It has been regarded as the number 1 theme parks for the last few years running and has continued to do so. Playing the Part ****************** All of Disney?s theme parks always have a theme which is a story to how the park came to be or something to bring children?s imaginations to life. Typhoon Lagoon follows the story that there is a massive storm that takes place and various objects, buildings and boats such as Miss Tilly get blown to a new location where it creates Typhoon Lagoon. Attractions ************* Castaway Creek ? The Castaway Creek covers the entire park making a very large circle that takes 20 minutes for a person to get around under the speed of the current. The circuit consists of five different landing that people can get...

Review of Typhoon Lagoon

Marooned in Typhoon Lagoon

Advantages: Fun, lots to do
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...The first theme park on my trip to Orlando was Typhoon Lagoon. I had last been there in about 1992 so was interested to see it again. Typhoon Lagoon is part of the Disney family and was opened in 1989. The idea behind the park is that it was created as the result of a huge storm which caused the rapids to form and the boats to be blown there from a nearby fishing village. As with everything Disney, this is another land of make believe! LOCATION: Typhoon Lagoon is part of the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. You can reach Disney World many ways, although we used hire car. Driving there is very simple and Walt Disney World is signposted straight off the I4 (the main road passing through Orlando). The nearest airport is Orlando International, to which many airlines fly direct from the UK. You can get shuttles from...

Blue Lagoon Iceland

Advantages: Relaxing and breath taking
Disadvantages: Expensive

...The Blue Lagoon in Iceland is an experience that cannot really be described without being there first hand, but I will try no less to tell you about this lovely place. Location / Getting There ------------------------------ The Lagoon is based in the middle of nowhere in Iceland; it is about a 35-40 minute drive from Reykjavik via road, and is a short detour past Keflavik airport. The only way to the Lagoon is via road as I stated, there are regular departures from Reykjavik Excursions BSI bus terminal daily or there are other excursions from different tour operators. The actual Lagoon is literally in the middle of nowhere in the depths of the beautiful Icelandic landscape. The surrounding area is barren and reminded me of what I would expect the moon to look like. There are a few mountain ranges within view and besides...

Must It Be So Blu?

Advantages: Highly varied
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

...The Rhode Island-raised R&B singer Blu Cantrell released ?So Blu? as her debut album back in 2001. It saw her break through in a way which would allow her to really blow up in popularity for her second album when her most well-known song ?Breathe? in collaboration with Sean Paul came out in 2003. 1. ?Waste My Time? Getting the album underway, this song has her breaking into some fly material which sees her working on beats form Tricky Stewart. The way in which it is composed is very representative of the sound of the time (and what had come through from 1998 up to this year) and so it showed that although she wasn?t doing anything new, she was prepared t do what the R&B fans wanted to hear at that particular time. **Four Stars** 2. ?Hit ?em Up Style? This was really the song which launched her into fame and it really deserved...

Review of So Blu - Blu Cantrell

Make a splash at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon

Advantages: Great fun and gret rides
Disadvantages: Long queues and lack of dining facilities

...What is Typhoon lagoon? It's one of Disney's three water parks at Walt Disney World (WDW) and in my opinion definitely the best with the best rides and the most fun theme! Legend has it that Typhoon Lagoon was formed when a typhoon hit Florida and left the water behind and has left a ship struck on top of a hill (watch it when the ship blows!!) Getting into the park is great fun as you walk through a rain forest before you arrive in a magical tropical town (if you squint you could almost be in the Bahamas!!) What is there to do? There is a really good mix of activities here for all ages. If you are feeling very brave then ride the water slides. The Humunga Kowabunga speed slides really do test the bravest adults and children and are absolutely awesome. Tip: Don't ride this straight after lunch and make sure your swim...

Review of Typhoon Lagoon

Will Smith in the Blu.

Advantages: Stunning film
Disadvantages: Nothing

...becoming a monster and instead turns his keen mind to finding a cure. He discovers there are 2 distinct stages to the virus or vampirism, The infected and the un-dead. His struggles are as much in the mind as physically against the creatures of the night. The ending of the movie was explosive and had a good twist. ~The Acting~ The acting is superb and Will Smith is at his best. The sense of loneliness for a good 3rd of the film is eerie and the amosphere is superbly done. The flash backs to his family are at times disjointed but are clearly a requirement to the plot. ~The Blu Ray~ ~Video Blu Ray~ The Blu Ray Edition is simply stunning to see. The start of the movie where he is around the city in and amongst the wild life is amazing. The contrasts are clear and Blacks are deep across the entire scale...

The blue lagoon

Advantages: very relaxing, could spend all day in it
Disadvantages: in the middle of nowhere

...I love Iceland and what better a way to start a trip the land of fire ice than a trip to the blue lagoon. Its beautiful warm blue waters in the open air of Iceland, theres nothing quite so refreshing. Last September we arrived in Iceland in the snow and then got told that our first trip would be to an outside swimming pool, doesn't sound so great so far but believe me it is fantastic. The blue lagoon is a lake created by the waste water from a geothermal power plant, doesn't sound very clean, but its actually a perfectly renewable and clean form of energy. The blue colour is perfectly natural, i believe it is something to do with algae which changes the colour of the water but not entirely sure. seeing as the water has been deep down in the ground for thousands of years being heated by magma, as a result it is very warm...

Transformers tranform on to blu - ray

Advantages: Good film with excellent special effects
Disadvantages: none

...good and evil, but with cutting edge special effects and action scenes galore this is a great film to watch. The blu-ray version i watched was a 2 disc set with the second disc full of extras. There was a section on the history of transformers, and interviews with executive producers Steven Spielberg and Brian Goldner, writers Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, and director Michael Bay. There were also features on the animation used and the way they worked out where to do scenes. You also get a look at the military equipment seen and used in the film. This additional information is something you do not want to skip over, because it gives you a much deeper understanding of how much planning and work went into the final production. If you are into cutting edge special effects and head banging action then beg, borrow, rent, or if that fails buy...
