No, I don't believe I did. I guess it was one of the astronaut ones? Our tour guide told us about the corvette dealership which loaned them out for $1 to the astronauts of the 60s/70s or something like that.

Cool, I've been lucky enough to see the Shuttle take off a couple of times and last time I was at Kennedy space centre a shuttle was landing from its recent mission, that was back in 1993 though so quite a while

Did SeaWorld and Busch Gardens themeparks, it was my first time to Busch Gardens as it's quite a trek outside of Orlando but it's an awesome day for rollercoaster lovers - I think we did 6 or 7 and three water ride log flume thingies. Sea World was interesting as we did (another) behind the scenes type tour and got to stroke a penguin (  ) and some other stuff.
Went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, good as ever - missus loved the new Harry Potter area of IoA, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't find it a little bit cool 
Really good holiday, never sat still and come home more knackered than when I left but it's all part of the fun!
I must admit I'm no fan of Harry Potter but when we went to IoA the Harry Potter bit was very cool, the actual area is massive and so realistic. The Hulk ride is amazing too, it's like Rita at Alton Towers but after the initial boost, it isn't shit lol.

I found this with quite a few rides tbh!
Sheikrah at Busch Gardens is like Oblivion but it actually has a decent rollercoaster attached to the "gimmick" part, Manta at Seaworld is like Air... but bigger/better/faster etc.
Alton Towers have got some good rides, but most of them rely on a gimmick and don't really put much effort into the rest of the ride.
Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens is similar to the Hulk (powered by gas rather than chains and gravity) but you get a couple of "topup" boosts on the way around, it's proper fast - really good ride.

Of all the rides I went on in Florida, which was the majority of them, the best was Manta at SeaWorld by a distance.

Aye Manta is a top tier one IMO. The loop you do whilst laid on your back is crazy, normally rollercoaster g-forces are down the length of your spine or side to side, this loop feels like you’ve got three grown men sat on your chest 
It's hard to identify a favourite though, Sheikrah is also very good.

English theme parks get a bad rap when compared to Yank parks, but then it's not even on the same scale. AT always try to innovate rather than immitate.

I can only assume they took it out to refurb or something, unless I was still dribbling over the shuttle at that point

Yeah that was exactly where the bus was parked when we went, so must have moved it elsewhere or taken it off display.

Alright mate, calm down. America have better rollercoasters than England, you don't have to go mental and forget to use upper-case letters.
