Well,
A company that is trying to sell us something flew a group us down to Orlando. Last night they rented out Islands of Adventures for 4 hours. We had the whole park to ourselves including all the restaurants. I wish this happened more often.

The Hulk is pretty cool, and so is double Dragon, but I think Bush Gardens has better coasters. The T-rex in Jurassic Park is just cool, and the whole ride seems better at night.

I still need to make it to Cedar point sometime, but that will have to be on my dime.

I went down to a vendor conference Sunday and just got back last night. Had I stayed the extra night they rented Universal for the evening. The conference center in Orlando is massive. Requires tons of walking to get from one side to the other. I got all my exercise in just going between sessions. I shudder to think of the tab for renting that center for the week plus all the extra activities.

That's where I am at.

The place is huge. They have 10 Tour Buses inside for VIP functions, and they look tiny in the main hall. It makes COBO center look like a school Gym.

Yeah I was there for EMC World. They had the black coaches all parked in the back corner near registration. You're right. They looked tiny sitting on that big floor. The open area with the big screens is just crazy. The dining area was big enough where we could have setup a nice indoor AX :wink:

My schedule for sessions made me walk from the North side to the South side just about every other one. One of the vendors had pedometers so I clipped that on. After the longest day I had over 12K steps. Very nice facility and well run.

The dinning was run like clockwork. and the food was surprisingly good.
