What's New to Do: Complete Itinerary

By: Andrew Bermudez

     Just as Sarah Thunder mentioned in her entry, I won't be writing in here for a little while, since I'm currently in summer school. However, while you wait for my next entry, I just wanted to hear from you!

     If you look at the title of this entry, you'll see that this is a What's New to Do article. No, this isn't my review for Transformers: The Ride - 3-D (that will come next month or the month after). Instead, I've compiled a list of everything new this year! After you're done reading through, give us your thoughts on any of the experiences below. If you've checked out any of these experiences or if I forgot any, please let me know in the comments.
July 10th Update: This list has been updated to reflect attractions that are now open. Also, to start a discussion, each new experience name will become a link to a relevant video by the end of the month. Note: all videos are the property of their owners, whom do not authorize, endorse, or sponsor this list.
