Universal's Islands of Adventure® PAGE 1 1-DAY P ARK PLAN Universal’s Islands of Adventure® Harry Potter™ fans and families with teenagers will love Universal’s Islands of Adventure®. There are an abundance of thrill rides, including serious coasters in Incredible Hulk Coaster® and Dragon Challenge™, and the incredibly well- done The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man®. For families with younger children, there is still plenty to see and experience within the park, especially the water rides Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls® and Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge Rat Barges®. For toddlers, Seuss Landing™ is a Dr. Seuss book come to life in color and landscape, with the very best play area of any theme park we’ve encountered in If I Ran the Zoo™, and a number of tot-friendly attractions. Universal’s Islands of Adventure typically opens about half an hour ahead of the official opening, and we recommend you take advantage of this by arriving at least 45 minutes ahead of time. You’ll begin your journey inside the Port of Entry® and then hop around the various “islands” scattered about the lagoon. We recommend staying on-site at one of the Universal Orlando® Resort hotels and begin your journey in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade™, since it’s easily the most crowded area of Universal’s Islands of Adventure®. Potter fans will want to spend time soaking up the magic, having the perfect wand claim them at Ollivanders™, sampling a cauldron cake at Honeydukes™ or enjoying a pint of Butterbeer™ at Three Broomsticks™. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™ is the park’s headliner, a spectacular journey in which guests board an “enchanted bench” that takes them on a flight through Hogwarts™ castle and beyond. The area’s other three attractions, Flight of the Hippogriff™, Dragon Challenge™ and the newly opened Hogwarts Express - Hogsmeade™, don’t see nearly as high of waits. A word about Universal Express℠: Most of Universal’s Islands of Adventure’s attractions offer Universal Express℠, or skip the lines access. The exceptions are Pteranodon Flyers®, Skull Island: Reign of Kong™, and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. The latter two have single rider lines, which are typically faster than even Universal Express, so consider splitting up when wait times are at their highest. Universal’s Islands of Adventure Attractions with a Single Rider’s Line • The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man • Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey • Incredible Hulk Coaster • Jurassic Park River Adventure® • Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls • Skull Island: Reign of Kong™ • Doctor Doom’s Fearfall® WWW.UNDERCOVERTOURIST.COM 1.800.846.1302 PAGE 2 Universal’s Islands of Adventure 1-Day Park Plan We’ve created this one-day park plan for Universal’s Islands of Adventure so you can experience the most popular attractions with the lowest waits. This plan assumes you are not staying on-site at a Universal Orlando® Resort hotel*, and you are entering the park ahead of officiaopening and finishingin the evening. Normally we would recommend riding a ride as popular as Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey at park opening, but if you are not staying on-site and therefore do not have one-hour Early Park Admission to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you will findlower waits in the evening. Because the Hogwarts Express requires a Park-to-Park ticket, we have not included it in this one-day plan. *If you are staying at a Universal Orlando® Resort hotel, we recommend taking advantage of Early Park Admission to experience The Wizarding World of Harry Potter when crowds are at their absolute lowest, with the option to revisit it in the evening. 1 Ride Skull Island: Reign of Kong™ 10 Watch Poseidon’s Fury® 2 Ride The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man® 11 Ride Caro-Seuss-el™ 3 Ride Incredible Hulk Coaster® 12 Ride One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish™ 4 Ride Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls® (Wear a poncho or 13 Ride The Cat in the Hat™ spend a few minutes in one of the nearby dryers.) 14 Ride The High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride!™ 5 Ride Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge Rat Barges® (Wear a poncho or spend a few minutes in one of the nearby dryers.) 15 Have dinner at Three Broomsticks™ 6 Have lunch Thunder Falls Terrace at 11:45 a.m. 16 Ride Dragon Challenge™ 7 Ride Jurassic Park River Adventure® 17 Ride Flight of the Hippogriff™ 8 Visit Camp Jurassic® 18 Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™ 9 Visit The Mystic Fountain VISIT ANYTIME VISIT WITHIN FIRST HR VISIT IN FIRST OR LAST 2 HRS QUICK RESTAURANT VISIT AFTER NOON WWW.UNDERCOVERTOURIST.COM 1.800.846.1302 PAGE 3 Universal’s Islands of Adventure® 1-DAY PARK PLAN MAP THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER - HOGSMEADE™ 17 6 7 18 1 8 15 16 4 JURASSIC PARK® 9 5 10 LOST CONTINENT® TOON LAGOON® 2 14 MARVEL SUPER HERO ISLAND® SEUSS ISLAND™ 11 3 13 12 VISIT ANYTIME TABLE SERVICE RESTAURANT VISIT WITHIN FIRST HR OR QUICK RESTAURANT VISIT IN FIRST OR LAST 2 HRS ENTRANCE RESTROOMS VISIT AFTER NOON FIRST AID SMOKING AREA WWW.UNDERCOVERTOURIST.COM 1.800.846.1302 Universal’s Islands of Adventure® GENERAL MAP THE WIZARDING WORLD Jurassic Park River Adventure® OF HARRY POTTER - Flight of HOGSMEADE™ the Hippogri™ Thunder Harry Potter Falls and the Terrace Forbidden Journey™ Skull Island: Camp Reign of Jurassic® Pizza Kong™ Predatoria Live Jurassic Park Performances Pteranodon Discovery Center® Flyers® Hog’s Head™ pub Ollivanders™ Burger wand shop Digs Three Dragon Hogwarts™ Challenge™ Dudley Do-right’s Broomsticks™ Express - Ripsaw Falls® Hogsmeade™ JURASSIC PARK® Mystic Popeye & Fountain Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges® Fire Comic Strip Mythos Eater’s Cafe Me Ship, Rest.

  • The Contradictory Communities of Wizard Rock
    Identity, Rhetoric and Behavior: The Contradictory Communities of Wizard Rock by Kelli Rohlman, B.M. A Thesis In MUSICOLOGY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC Approved Dr. Christopher J. Smith Chair Professor Angela Mariani Dr. Thomas Cimarusti Ralph Ferguson Dean of the Graduate School December, 2010 Copyright 2010, Kelli Rohlman Texas Tech University, Kelli Rohlman, December 2010 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the December 2003 issue of O Magazine, American critic and writer Bell Hooks said “Life-transforming ideas have always come to me through books.” The Harry Potter book series is one that many would claim has changed their lives in one way or another, and I am no exception. I would first like to thank, with the utmost respect and admiration, author J.K. Rowling for her literature that has inspired such a flourishing, creative, and beautiful community of fans. I would then like to register my complete gratitude to each of my informants; without their cooperation, generosity, and eagerness to share their incredible talents and expertise, this thesis would not have been possible. I would like to thank the hundreds of “wizards” that I have met or communicated with along my journey for their undying enthusiasm. I would also like to thank, specifically, Dinah Russell of the Wizrocklopedia.com for her assistance in general community support for my research. Thank you to Melissa Anelli of The Leaky Cauldron website and Pottercast for her accessibility and for answering all of my questions about Harry, A History on multiple occasions.

  • Universal Orlando Resort™
    PAGE 1 Universal Orlando Resort™ A QUICK-START PLANNING GUIDE Thanks to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™—now two of them!— and more first-rate attractions, Universal Orlando has upped its game when it comes to the theme park experience. But with so many muggles, a visit to Universal Studios Florida™ and Universal’s Islands of Adventure™ isn’t toadally carefree. Even during slower times, there can be waits for the parks’ headlining attractions and dining. With more thrill rides than the Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal is more popular with older children, although there are attractions geared to the tadpoles. We’ve included them in this guide along with must-visit attractions, top restaurants and more planning tips so that you and your family have a great trip! You’ll find more printable guides and in-depth planning information at: undercovertourist.com/planning/ SUGGESTED UNIVERSAL ORLANDO TICKETS With Universal’s parks—plus its brand-new water theme park Volcano Bay and its entertainment area Universal Orlando CityWalk™—all an easy hop away from each other, there is no reason not to go for the Park-to-Park tickets. They allow you to hop back and forth between the parks and ride the Hogwarts Express™ between the Hogsmeade™ and King’s Cross Stations. You have the option to add on Volcano Bay. The base tickets are the most economical option, but they don’t give you as much flexibility and don’t allow you to ride the Hogwarts Express™. We highly recommend you stay on site at an official Universal Orlando hotel.
