Orlando is america’s gold coast complete with amusement parks.Hanging out at downtown Disneyland with my man, micky. I just went to the Disney quest park and as it turns out I suck at computer games – There were heaps of retro games and some newish ones like guitar hero, lots of fly and drive and shoot things... all of which i got whooped at by 9 year olds.. and sometimes by 30 something year olds too. More practice may be required i seem to be getting rusty. Except the Pirate challenge, a 3d thing with mock cannons. You pull on your gun repeatedly in a jerking motion to shoot your balls, turns out i’m a pro at this :)
Then there was Aqualand a possibly New Zeeland themed (though it includes at least one "Tassie twister” ride) It has a few things named after a kiwi and what i assume is supposed to look mauri carvings but end up looking like a naruto set. Plus there are annoying announcements saying "g'day mate" and "a corker of a ride" in an American accent... all very strange let me assure you...
Then I went to a magic comedy show and got my car impounded. The show was good and thank god that there was a really lovely couple that offered to drop me off at the towing place which had my car. This turned out to be 8 miles away (however far that is) in a shady looking part of town. I got my car and got back out to my place.
Meanwhile the shuttle has one excuse after another, first electrical problems, then rain, then hydrogen leaks and then issues with foam. End result the shuttle is delayed another month. But at least i got to see it and the Kennedy space centre tour is really good. There is a launch simulator where you strapped in and experience the closest thing to launch conditions without actually being an astronaut.
