Lucky for us our hotel was close enough to the park grounds that they had a free shuttle to and from the park, but only one time there and two times back, but both of these were after the park closed. When we got there the park was nice and cool and breezy (almost a weather theme for this trip it seems so far), pretty nice weather for us! I thought for sure the Harry Potter rides would have the longest lines so we started at the front and worked our way back to that one. The Hulk and Dr. Dooms Freefall were way fun, but Harry Potter "land" was done up so amazingly! It was extremely detailed. Only two rides were ones we were interested in, so we did those and they were so fun we decided to do one twice (the only reason we didn't do the other ones twice was because it was a kind of indoor ride and the other one was two rides on two tracks riding simultaneously so we wanted to ride both tracks and the indoor one was pretty memorable enough). The lines were so short and the day was so dead that I think we ended up riding all the "high-thrill" fun ones twice and still got done around noon. Instead of waiting 7 hours for the shuttle to come get us we ended up walking (yes, more walking) back to the hotel, only took us about 45 minutes. I joked with Larry if I'd have known how much walking we'd end up doing I wouldn't have volunteered to do that big one on the first day.
Even though it was short, we got in a nap and had a lot of fun still and I know, at least, I didn't miss a thing at the park!
I took more video than pictures, but here's what we got from this day:
