Marvel Comics Featured - Universal Islands of Adventure!
By Delio Jimenez

Marvel Comics featured in Orlando's Universal Islands of Adventures. Here is my review of the rides located in the Orlando based theme park, Universal Studios Islands of Adventures. If roller coasters are your thrill and you are craving for near death defying stunts and loops, look no further than "the Hulk".

This action packed ride, is non-stop heart stopping action, loops and upside down turns at incredible g-forces. I ended up watching this ride take off for many turns before I took the plunge reluctantly. The ride features Marvel Comics "the Hulk", and it is as fierce as the superhero it is named after, the last movie made after this superhero, "the Hulk" had that ride effect when shot but this ride takes the cake.

After you have ridden this if you follow the succession of the rides, comes the ride known as the tea cup in other amusement parks, only this is the home of "Storm" the storm yielding superhero in the X-men. If thrills is what you want, you can afford to pass on this one, although after "the hulk" to some of the weak of heart and stomach this might be enough for the TKO (sissy). An old lead belly like me, no dice.

Next up is "Dr. Doom" the plunge of death, very high in the sky and drops like you have a pair of cement boots times 10. Pretty exciting stuff, not much story, all in all a nice compliment to once again "the hulk".

After Dr. Doom, comes my all in all favorite ride, perhaps because I have seen the ride many, many, times through the eyes of both of my sons, and I can tell you clearly it is my favorite hands down. The amazing "Spider-Man" this ride tells the story of Spider-man superhero against what I would like to call the sinister 5 - Dr. Octopus, Electro, Hydro-man, Green Goblin, and Scream. In this ride, Spider-man fights them all individually except Scream, I guess there was not much time in the ride. The ride takes a nice stroll through NY City, as the Villains in this ride attempt to disassemble piece by piece the Statute of Liberty.

In the end, Spider-man has enough to get the job done, and snap a few photos for James Jonah Jameson, the pesky editor of the Bugle in the Marvel Universe. This ride packs thrills and many of them, the superheroes make themselves available in many appearances in Islands of Adventures and set up photo ops galore. Islands of Adventures also feature Dr. Seuss and his complete world with many rides for children that cannot handle the action packed rides, adults will find these enjoyable also.

If comic books and Marvel statues are your collectible, there are a few stores in Islands of Adventures that will be right up your alley, comics are the one item I noticed that the prices were the same as your local news stand. They have a large variety of comics too, nice display. Limited series and all, they also have some of the neatest toys that Marvel has produced as well as the limited ones too.

Nuff said.

Wait! Before you throw those comic books away, keep reading Spider-Man or any your favorite Superheroes. You can even earn the profit you deserve. Find out how to profit from your great collection...click here
