Vekoma Quest...

One mans mission to ride every Vekoma coaster in the state of Florida.... in the same day TwitPicing along the way.
My lovely pointless day started with a quick bike ride over to Universal Studios Islands of Adventure and  Flight of the Hippogriff (Flying Unicorn). Meh, one train op meant the line took forever... And for a family coaster? Not worth it...but I was on a quest. After waiting far too long for that crap.. I walked on over to Universal Studios Florida to find out it would be over an hour until Woody opened... So I jumped on the Simpsons ride... Ouch, my neck. Anyways.. Once I got off Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster had opened for the day, yay... Time to bike back home and head over to Disney. First up was Hollywood Studios where I walked in to find Rock'n'Roller Coaster to be down, great. Amazingly it reopened right as I sat down and I ended up being the first person in line. It must have been down a while as I walked all the way to the load area and got in row 1 without ever seeing another guest. I was tempted to jump on Tower real quick.. But instead I headed off to the Magic Kingdom where I was quickly able to get on Goofy's Barnstomer, Move it Shake it, Celebrate it was going on and I guess had most peoples attention at the moment.  Four down, one to go.. And possibly the only one worth riding too.. After a lovely lunch it was off to Animal Kingdom for some Expedition Everest... Yay Vekoma Quest was a success... 5 different coasters in 5 different parks (Every Vekoma in the state of Florida) for no real reason other than... Just because I CAN.
