Mon, 23 Mar 2009 19:46:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ferres - OVERVIEW:I can't believe that I almost didn't go to this great park after reading an earlier negative review (one not from epinions). Sure, this park seems old-fashioned (wooden signs, old paint), but that doesn't automatically make it a...

Florida's Nature Park

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 19:38:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ferres - Silver Springs is extremely well-known. And I have to say, it does live up to its hype pretty well. From my recent experience there, the fish and other wild animals are everywhere, readily seen from the glass bottom boats. The spring water is...

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 19:30:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ferres - Laughter in my veins, butterflies in my chest, fear of falling, fear of frying, intense fascination. Not so unusual to experience these things at Islands of Adventure, but what did surprise me is how something can still do that to me. I have adapted to...

Mon, 28 Jun 2004 22:00:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ferres - What on earth is Jeepers doing under the restaurant categories? Well, I guess it IS supposed to be more of a pizza place than an indoor kids' amusement park, but it really looks like the latter if you ask me. Hence why this park-starved college student...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ferres - I think of Slake's Limbo as the sibling of Hatchet-- instead of portraying the realism of a stranded human interacting with a wilderness, Slake's Limbo portrays a runaway human surviving in an urban environment, living from scratch. Slake is a young...
