Great bar staff, great underwater music, and great water slide - what a trifecta!
For the best experience, stay at one of this theme parks' on-site hotels - currently, there are 3, but a 4th resort is scheduled to open in 2014 Read more.
Maybe this place is not as big as World of Disney, but it certainly packs just about everything you can think of from Universal Studios!
Pretty cool merchandise store; this place screams Margaritaville... be sure to check out their blenders on sale!
Seems like you can't go anywhere without running into a Starbucks. Well, this one is owned by Universal, so expect the customer experience to be slightly different than what you enjoy in your hometown
as the midnight oil burns, this place is quite the hotspot! Lots of adult entertainment, so keep the young ones with the babysitter!
Great breakfast buffet for the family; if you are staying at the Hard Rock, be sure to enjoy this restaurant at least once during your stay!
If you want to stay dry, stick to the ball room! But, kids like to get wet during the warmer weather, so bring appropriate attire for them to enjoy this kid spot!
Going with family and/or friends? Savor the memory by taking/purchasing the group photo! You'll thank me later! P.S. I recommend just getting the digital copy on USB drive! Better value!
Suspenseful ride... building up anticipation for the final plunge; just be sure to smile for the camera!
Let's just say that you need to either ride this on a hot sunny day or in your swim attire. Oh, and protect your electronics by leaving them in the lockers!
No need to make an educated guess as to which seat will keep you dry; the answer should be VERY obvious... NONE!
quite a fun area of the Islands of Adventure park... children love the water rides and more water rides! Be prepared!
Worth the wait, especially after the recent upgrades in the video quality. You feel like you are even more integrated into the storyline and the ride itself! Be sure to get here early and enjoy!
Have children and do not mind riding alone, use the child swap option to skip the line!!
maybe not the tallest tower out there, but this ride is a goodie! I'd just be sure not to wait forever in line!
highly recommended if you have young children; your rental is good for the entire day and at both parks!
Great spot to catch some character parades. Come here early, use your meal plan package, and then go outside to meet the characters!
Got hungry in the morning before some character parades, so it was nice this place was open, but the seating inside is limited, so be flexible!
Even the people who are not big Harry Potter fans need to check out the castle and ride!
A true classic of a ride! This ride is very family-friendly and a must for children of all ages!
Be sure to buckle up... this ride is a screamer - only for the true thrill-seekers; you've been warned!
For the most part, the employees working here are helpful, but the lines can be long much of the time!
A must for all Seuss fans, young and old... visit this place, for you've been told!
Not quite the ride that it once was... I prefer its previous setup, but a coaster is still a coaster!
very nice ride for the younger crowd; a nice, interactive coaster of sorts! Two thumbs up for the under 10 crowd and their parents!
Expect long lines... so, either race to the back of the park to get this experience done first thing or ride everything else before heading here!
This is a Harry Potter fan's dream world... and still pretty cool for those (like me) who are not the biggest HP fans!
I found this spot of the park to have a lot of cool photo opportunity locations, especially near the statues!
Very relaxing ride to and from the on-site hotels... sit down, take a load off, and snap a few pictures

Go with the campfire mocha... you won't be disappointed! I take mine without espresso!
If you like hot chocolate, order the campfire mocha (minus espresso) and ask them to use all 3 chocolates!!
Friendly staff is always anxious to assist you! This isn't your old school RadioShack from back in the Tandy days...
If you don't want a big wait time for equipment, do a leg workout; most people stay away from that equipment!!!
Always recommend filling up early in the morning; be sure to use that Kroger card for added savings!
Don't leave your vehicle unattended curbside! Highly NOT recommended!
Be sure to put up your weights when you get done! Leaving them all around for others to pick up simply isn't cool!
Don't avoid the squat rack... and, when you use the squat rack, lower the weight and go all the way down to parallel! Otherwise, you are wasting your time (and mine)!
New ownership, great energy, and even some live music from time to time! Give this place a try or two!
Great community; a lot of nice houses, and the homes seem to maintain their value over time!
Home of the second best baseball team in all of the NL - right behind my Atlanta Braves!
It's always an enjoyable place to walk - just be sure to have some friends with you just in case!

Quite the tribute to those who served during WWII - you'd be remiss if you skipped this memorial!

Take a few minutes and visit the blacksmith shop - great way to teach your children about how things were done decades and centuries ago!
Home of our 1st President, this place showcases how Washington lived. Be sure to take it all in, especially with this place a bit off the beaten path and away from the heart of DC!

On April 15, 2013, Mayor Mathews re-proclaim April 16 as 4sqDay in Kennesaw, and I passed out 29 foursquare swag water bottles!
go with the grilled chicken... sure, fried is tasty, but it is not as healthy!
Highly recommend you either go immediately to Superman or to Batman when you arrive; those two coasters take forever to load (hence LONG lines)!
You may want to stick your hands out like Superman on the first hill, but wait until after the camera takes the picture - it's no fun to wait in line for 1+ hrs only to block others' faces!
Feels much faster in the back, but the view in the front rocks; I saw ride it at least once in each spot!
highly recommend that you lock in tight and be prepared for the train to stop when the ride is over! Trust me on this one!
Very short (and slightly overrated) ride, so, if the wait time estimator is over 45 minutes, I'd come back later | hit Goliath!
Once the tallest coaster in the world, this wooden creature still punches some good power with some solid airtime... refrain from wearing hats and sunglasses!
I actually like the sit up front, but... beware, those with back problems might want to avoid this ride altogether!
Actually, this coaster is a really good way to introduce first time coaster riders to the art of thrill rides! Up front or in the back, there's rarely a bad seat!
Starting in 2013, Six Flags is offering its Season Ticket Holders [unlimited] dining plays... With the new Season Dining Pass, Season Pass Holders can enjoy lunch and dinner every time they visit. Read more.
Solid place to eat when taking a break from the rides, and it really is not too crowded like it is closer to the front!
This is a very kid-friendly ride! I highly recommend riding this one as Halloween nears each fall!
a prerequisite for every cool theme park... but, I must say that these are not located in the best of areas; still, this is a good way to get off your feet while keeping moving!
typically the best gas prices near Six Flags (although, this location is a bit down the road)
put more attention on your form and less attention on how much weight you are slinging around!
One of the very best fitness facilities in the area! Be sure to check out group classes as well!
Solid gym, but don't have high expectations; you're paying very little each month, so cut this place some slack.
Don't throw the dumbbells down when done; if you lifted them nicely to use, you can return them in the same manner!
be kind to others in the gym; keep your conversations to a minimum or at least do not hold up others' workouts!
Switch up your routine by attending one of their many group fitness classes
When in doubt, definitely give the spin classes a try! You'll burn a bunch of calories!

If you change your mind while on a different aisle, please take your item(s) back to where you found it - let's not be lazy folks!
Don't forget to check out their organic produce! Those items are well worth the investment!
control each and every rep! Pick a weight that fits your current levels and challenge yourself!
Remember your gym etiquette when you workout here; we're all here to reach our fitness goals, but that should not be accomplished at the expense of others!
1. Don't be afraid to do some damn squats. 2. Do those damn squat correctly (not 1/4 or 1/2 way)!
You can't count on LA Fitness radio to have the best selection of music right when you are working out; hence, I highly recommend that you bring an iPod or some other mp3 player!
Fill up your water bottles between exercises, not between sets. Others would like to use the equipment too!
working out is only half of the battle; looking and feeling good starts in the kitchen!
if you are not going to use good form while deadlifting or squatting, you are just wasting your time!
Please turn your smartphones on silent while working out. Others do not want to be bothered during their workouts!
the employees go out of their way to help customers find what they are looking for, so do not be afraid to stop one of them and ask for assistance!

ladies: want a tight back side? Be sure not to overlook the lunges, step-ups, and squats!
coffee and hot dogs are not that great; I recommend going down one light to Shell; they have higher quality options! Then again, I am biased!
One of the only shopping options off base; although, coming here gets pretty old very quickly!
This place has sooooo many options for Marines and his/her family members! Plus, there's nothing like not paying sales tax!
Friendly, helpful employees! Definitely offers a slightly better experience than at the adjacent RaceTrac - even if the price of gas is always one cent higher.

While I have not been to all of the USMC bases in NC, this one certainly has a very nice workout facility! I loved using it while training at Personnel Administration School!

drink lots of water; the last thing you will want is to get dehydrated mid-workout!
