As if it wasn’t clear yet by my bevy of posts – we had an amazing time at Disney and Universal in Florida. I have only scratched the surface of the stories to tell, and best we’re going back in a couple of months to make some new stories.

However, for all the wonder and fun we had, there were a few hiccups in the road.

Our first few days, the three final days of October, were gorgeous. Beautiful weather. Low 70’s, sunny, low humidity. Just flat out amazing.

Then November 1st dawned.

A high of 47 degrees and strong winds. I mean, strong.

So we put on our jeans and returned to Universal for our last day with one thing in mind…well, for Erik and I.

The one ride we’d missed on our first day. The Rip Ride Rockit Roller Coaster. Erik had been intimidated by it, but after a few days of roller coasters, he was ready to try the intimidating coaster.

Yeah.

Remember that detail about the weather?

Strong winds?

The ride was closed. Because of the high winds, and the intense height of the coaster, it wasn’t safe to run that day.

Of course we still had plenty of fun that day, but we were sorely disappointed that we’d missed this ride.

And yes, we’ve already said that the first ride we go on this year is the Rip Ride Rockit. We aren’t chancing another turn in the weather.
