    I stayed at the Hilton at Bonnett Creek for work earlier this spring. I'm thinking I may go to the attached Waldorf Astoria and play its course. It looked pretty sweet and is pretty reasonable.

    I would stay downtown and enjoy the weekend but if you want to golf do one of the resorts far out there.

    Yeah stay at the Grand Bo, Aloft, or Embassy Suites. You can go out to golf for a day but being downtown and walking to everything is so much better.

    Days before Universal Orlando unveils its latest attraction, Skull Island: Reign of Kong, the theme park giant offered a sneak peek into its latest project, the water theme park Volcano Bay.

    It's set to open in 2017.

    Volcano Bay takes over Wet 'n' Wild, which is owned by Universal Orlando Resort, and will feature:

    • Krakatau, the centerpiece of Volcano Bay, a 200-foot-tall fire and water volcano with waterfalls during the day and special lava effects at night. Krakatau will have waterslides inside the volcano, a news release states.

    • Ko'okiri Body Plunge, a 125-foot-long waterslide ride that starts with a 70-degree fall through a drop door

    • Kala and Ta Nui Serpentine Body Slides

    [​IMG]
    FLORIDA TODAY

    Wet 'n Wild Orlando will close Dec. 2016


    • Wave Village and Waturi Beach, where guests can lounge

    • Kopiko Wai Winding River

    • Rainforest Village with drop slides, raft rides and more waterslides

    Skull Island, located off of Jurassic Park at Universal Studios, features a three-story temple, 40-foot-long ride vehicle and King Kong sculptures. Some of the sculptures and rock formation take after Peter Jackson's film, but the story is its own, Mike West, executive producer at Universal Creative, told FLORIDA TODAY earlier this year. Universal's previous King Kong attraction, Kongfrontation, was set in a New York subway station. That opened in 1990 and closed in 2002, later replaced by the Revenge of the Mummy ride.

    Founded in 1977, Wet 'n' Wild is considered to be one of America's first major water parks. The Central Florida theme park first announced it would close in June 2015. It will permanently close Dec. 31, 2016.


    Volcano Bay currently is being constructed on 53 acres near the theme park's Cabana Bay Beach Resort.

    Universal Orlando Resort also is home to Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.

    hey fellas, headed your way in a few weeks staying in Orlando for 5 days. What is the best beach to take my family to if we take a day trip that is reasonably close?

    I live in viera (just south of cocoa). There are several spots along a1a by Patrick Air Force base that you can go to that don't get to crowded. Cocoa beach is too crowded for me. If you want the beach town feel then New Smyrna is great spot. If you want to enjoy the beach with not a lot of people then go to where I said.

    glad you were able to get back home before it hit man.
    We are getting our first severe feeder band now, higher winds and more lightning than we have seen yet.
    I've got the pool draining, but I don't think its going to be able to keep up.

    it's coming. I forget exactly where you are, but none of us are going to escape it. I'm fully anticipating a wobble that puts us in the hurricane force wind circle.

    yeah almost no lightning in Lake Mary, lots of wind but it never got to hurricane force. Not as much tree debris as I expected. Very lucky, this one scared me but it staying
    farther east was the game changer.

    for those going to the Theme park area and need a cheap but nice hotel, have found that the Melia is very nice and a short drive from both Disney and Universal
