UNIVERSAL PARK!

  • Location: Orlando, USA
  • The reason: Who hasn’t dreamed of being in the middle of your favorite motion pictures? The Universal Orlando Resort was choose because can do your visitors feel inside the movies while walk through the attractions in the Marvel’s Island, for example or while watch the shows around the park. There are two parks, The Universal Studios where is a real movie and TV Show sets like Wood Woodpecker, The Simpsons; and The Universal’s Island of Adventure where the world’s most cutting edge rides, shows and interactive attractions divided into six Islands :Marvel’s Island, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, The Lost Continent, Seuss Landing and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Some attractions of Universal Park

  • Route: This park will be the second one of our trip. We will take a bus from Disney and go to our hotel that is inside the park.
  • Hotel: We’ll stay at The Hard Rock Hotel inside the park. There you can relax in a sand beach pool that immerses you in sound and feel like a rock star with the authentic rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia and eat in The Legendary Palm Restaurant.

  • Permanence: We’ll stay in this park for 14 days. This time will be enough to see, photograph and write up our top notch about all attractions in the park.

PORTAVENTURA!

  • Location: Salou, Spain
  • The reason: PortAventura has a world inside it! The park is divided in five areas (Mediterranean, Polynesia, Far West, Mexico and China), so you can know a lot of places in this park. It’s a nice place to go with family, to learn about other culture and have fun with that. Some attractions call the attention, as the Hurakan Condor: the tallest tower of free fall in the world, with 100 meters and the Dragon Khan, a roller coaster with eight inversions that reaches the velocity of 105 km/h. Besides the roller coasters, there are a lot of attractions about different cultures, as shows and restaurant)
PortAventura Park

  • Route: We were in Thorpe Park, from there we’ll take the train to France (Channel Tunnel). In Paris, we’ll take a bus to Salou, the city where the park is placed.
  • Hotel: We will stay at Hotel Caribe's that is inside the park. The white sand pool and gardens full of palm trees which transport you to the heart of the Caribbean.

  • Permanence: We’ll stay 15 days at PortAventura, this time will be enough to see, photograph and write up our top notch about all attractions in the park. Three days for each area will be enough.



  • Location: Nikko, Japão
  • Reason: At Tobu Park you could see a lot of high quality miniatures of great monuments and buildings of the world. So, you can travel abroad the world in the same place, at the park! There, you can go from Whitehouse to Vatican in some minutes! Between the miniatures, there are forty-five World Cultural and Heritage monuments, by UNESCO. There, you will enjoy looking at the cultural heritages in the world while developing a consciousness for the need to preserve and protect such historic structures. Finally, the high quality that makes the miniatures looking real is the main reason for our choice.

  • Vatican, Vatican in size comparison, The Big Ben and Taj Mahal

  • Route: We already are in Japan, because the last park that we’ve seen was Space World. So, we going to take a bus to arrive at the city of Nikko, and there take other bus in Kinugawa Onsen Station that will take three minutes to arrive at the Tobu Park. To take back to our hotel, we will take a bus back to Kinugawa Onsen Station and a bus directly for our hotel.
  • Hotel: We’ll stay at Nikko Park Lodge Hotel. It’s a simple hotel, but is really near from our park (20 minutes to arrive at Kinugawa Onsen Station and more three to arrive at the park). It’s simple, but there is what we need: wireless connection, restaurant, nice price and it’s comfortable.
Our hotel

· Permanence: We’ll stay 13 days at our hotel. In those days we’ll explore the four areas of the park: America, Egypt, Europe and Asia. Three days to photograph and write up the top notch report for each area will be the necessary. The last day we’ll rest for our last trip: Australia, The DreamWorld Park!

DREAMWORLD!

  • Location: Gold Coast, Australia
  • The reason: We have chosen the seven wonder by continents (unfortunately, we can’t find one interesting theme park in Africa). So, we have chosen Dreamworld because it’s the most famous thematic park in Oceania. But that isn’t the only reason for our choice, really! There is an awesome attraction: “The Big 7 Thrill Rides”. This attraction has seven of the tallest and fastest thrill rides in the world that makes this park so wonderful. One of those seven rides is “Tower of Terror II”, this machine blasts passengers 115 meters skyward at speeds of up to 160 km per hour in just seven seconds in reverse, absolutely, my favorite and the main reason of the choice. However, if you don’t like adventure, there are calm things to do, as see DreamWorks part, with a lot of Madagascar’s characters and Shrek.

King Julian, from Madagascar

Route: The last park of our trip. We are coming from Asia, Japan to be more specific. So, we going from the Nikko International Airport to the Brisbane International Airport. There, we’ll take a bus to Gold Coast, the city where the park is placed and our hotel. Arriving there, we will rent a car to move from hotel to Dreamworld, this away will take 18 minutes by car.

Hotel: Our hotel is simple, it’s named Arrival Accommodation. It’s situated near the sea; this hotel is close to Marina Mirage Gold Coast, Sea World Resort, Surfers Paradise Beach and, of course, Dreamworld Park. By car, we spend 18 minutes to arrive at our goal and enjoy the Big 7 Thrill Rides.
Our Hotel
  • Permanence: We’ll stay 15 days in Australia, but that time won’t be only to go to the park. As the last park, we have to get some days to organize our pictures and reports about each park that we’ve gone. Only 5 days will be spending at the park, indeed. In this period, we’ll take pictures and write up the last top notch report. The wonderful sightseeing of Australia will inspire us to organize our ideas and make the best top notch report that someone has already seen!

Disney!

  • Location: Orlando, Flórida, USA
  • The reason: I think the main question to do is “Why don’t choose Disney World?’” I mean, everyone in the world dream about that, not only children, even adults want to go there and meet Mickey, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto and all of Disney’s character. Besides that, there are more than only characters… There are four theme parks, two aquatic parks and other attractions to see. In conclusion, there you’ll find the kid inside you, make some of your dreams come true and realize how awesome Disney is.

  • Route: This Park will be the first one of our trip. We’ll go by airplane from Brazil to United States of America. Here, in Brazil, we’ll take the airplane at Guarulhos’ International Airport and arrive at Orlando International Airport. Arriving there, we will take Disney′s Magical Express and arrive at our hotel.
