Of all the exciting things to do at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios  in Orlando, I wasn’t expecting the buzz to be all about the butterbeer. But there has been butterbeer mania sweeping the land and the internet.  People are wondering what the recipe is and who gets the best mustache after taking a sip? 

Butterbeer Recipe

It is reported that butterbeer is the most popular food item at Wizarding World.  But the recipe for the butterbeer served at the theme park is actually a secret and non-alcoholic.  You can find many recipes on the Internet, but the basis for most of them is cream soda.  This gives the drink its frothiness and hence, the mustache on your upper lip upon taking a sip. 

Mugglenet.com is a popular web site for all things Harry Potter.  They have listed a recipe  for butterbeer that is just delicious.  And let me add, there is nothing low-fat about it!  You have two choices for butterbeer, draft and frozen.  I’ve only tried the draft but it is just yummy.

If you are one of those people who loves roller coasters, don’t pass up the chance to ride the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Orlando.  Rockit opened late last year and has received rave reviews from roller coaster enthusiasts.

Rockit Uses Ground-Breaking Roller Coaster Technology

A friend of mine and her son road it last week and said it was one of the best and certainly, most unique, roller coasters they have ever ridden.  It has the world’s largest non-inverted loop and spiraling, negative-gravity move. Reaching 65 mph and stretching over 17 stories tall in spots, you will have the ride of a lifetime. 

You can even pick out the music of your choice from your very own touchpad at your seat.  Your ride is videotaped so you will have a truly visual memory of your experience.  Get the thrill of some “first-ever” roller coaster technology on the wild and crazy Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Orlando. Check out all the fun at the Orlando theme parks  at Walt Disney World.
