Fellow mortals. If you are reading this, it means I have literally just returned from a preposterous trek within the vicinity of the most dangerous place on Earth...Skull Island.

 

...but of course for the most technically-minded (and gullible) of readers, this is only my report from my recent trip to Orlando. ;)

No sooner than I arrived had I had an unexpected encounter with a mysterious creature. One of Skull Island's deadly inhabitants?

Anyway, the call to adventure was nigh. But in order to get to Skull Island I had other adventures to attend to...

...such as requesting some backup at Skull Island from a childhood superhero (but in all seriousness, The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman is quite spectacular).

...until finally...I FOUND IT! I knew I had struck gold and now it BECKONED me!

...Kong himself in particular

No other soul had DARED venture into this unforgiving realm...hence this very conveniently placed sign.

In case you haven't already guessed, Skull Island is HUGE!

Almost as huge as this rather innocent looking castle next door. ;)

I heard Kong can fight a pack of dinosaurs. Does this include dragons???

Anyway, to cap this all off, here's my review on Skull Island: Reign of Kong

13612337_1598525353779626_51575588175456

 

...This gets a 9/10 from me. Spectacular ride experience, incredible amounts of detail along with a pretty decent queueing experience. Definitely worth the queue time. :)

 

But that's not all! I leave you with my total ride count. ;)
