 MAP OF THE PARK
 
    
 
 
Blues Brothers is one of my favourite acts in Orlando.

The Blues Brothers are an American blues and soul revivalist band founded in 1978 by comedians Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as part of a musical sketch on Saturday Night Live.   Belushi and Aykroyd, respectively in character as lead vocalist "Joliet" Jake Blues and harmonica player/vocalist Elwood Blues, fronted the band, which was composed of well-known and respected musicians. The band made its debut as the musical guest on the April 22, 1978, episode of Saturday Night Live.

 
 
                                               
 
The Blues Brothers Show is a live show attraction located at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood (where it is known as The Blues Brothers R&B Revue). The show first debuted at the Florida park in March 1991 in the New York area, and later at the Hollywood park in the Upper Lot area. The show is based on the 1980 film The Blues Brothers, and features the titular characters of Jake and Elwood performing classic Rock & Soul songs from the past.

Incredible Sulk Coaster

 

Andy shouts hurry up dad hurry we can get on the Hulk. Little did I know 

we were in the front row of the first car.  AW NAW I scream as I am rocketed out from the darkness. ZERO TO 40 MPH IN TWO SECONDS FLAT.    I totally crap myself a I am twisted in all directions. 

All I can do is hold on as an angry Hulk roar fills your ears and you smash through the sky on a high-speed roller coaster rampage.

 KING KONG                  

Universal Studios had two popular King Kong rides at their theme parks in Hollywood and Orlando.

The first King Kong ride was called King Kong Encounter and was a part of the Universal Studios Studio Tour (Hollywood) in Hollywood. The ride opened in 1986 and was destroyed in 2008 in a major fire. Universal opened a replacement 3D King Kong ride called King Kong: 360 3-D that opened July 1, 2010.A second more elaborate ride was constructed at the Orlando park in 1990.

 

 

It was called Kongfrontation. The ride was closed down in 2002, and was replaced with Revenge of the Mummy in 2004.

A Kong-themed dueling roller coaster will open with Universal Studios Dubailand in 2012.                     

 
KING KONG RIDE
 
 
Jaws
 

Jaws is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Peter Benchley's novel of the same name. The police chief of Amity Island, a fictional summer resort town, tries to protect beachgoers from a giant man-eating great white shark by closing the beach, only to be overruled by the town council, which wants the beach to remain open to draw a profit from tourists during the summer season.

 

 

 

After several attacks, the police chief enlists the help of a marine biologist and a professional shark hunter. Roy Scheider stars as police chief Martin Brody, Richard Dreyfuss as marine biologist Matt Hooper, Robert Shaw as shark hunter Quint, Murray Hamilton as the Mayor of Amity Island, and Lorraine Gary as Brody's wife, Ellen.
