Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios

The new Despicable Me attraction opened today at Universal just in time for the busy summer season. For a few weeks now the ride has been open for technical rehearsals and today it officially opened. The wait time for the ride hovered around 80 mins throughout the day. Most of the other rides in Universal weren't all that bad.

 Minion's have taken over Universal.

Turtle Trek at SeaWorld Orlando Now Open!

Turtle Trek at SeaWorld is officially open. At 9am today guest were able to experience the all new 3D 360 degree journey for the first time. The old Manatee rescue area has been transformed into the new Turtle Trek attraction. 

 If you remember the old Mantatee rescue area... the exit is now the entrance to the new attraction just behind the gift shop.

They have separated the two underwater viewing area so we see the manatees( first room ) then the turtles (second room). You will spend around 8 mins in each room and move to the next as a group. Once everyone enters the turtle room an educator talks about the journey of a turtle and answers any questions... all while you enjoy viewing the turtles swim around with various colorful fish.
