Universal Studios

Los Angeles, United States


We spent a full day at Universal Studios. We had paid a little extra to get Front of Line passes which were very useful!

Nothing particularly funny to talk about - although whenever there was an opportunity to get wet ... Dad did in spectacular fashion.

I was under the impression that there were lots of rollercoaster-type rides but instead there were many 3/4D experiences - which were just as fun.

A quick round-up of the attractions that we went on:
Studio Tour: Very interesting although a VERY over-the-top tour guide!
Mummy Returns: Back and Forward Rollercoaster - In the dark - Good but it says something when the bloke who jumps out dressed up in a mummy outfit when you walk out at the end is the scariest part!
Shrek 4D - Brilliant
Terminator 2 3D - Good with actors playing Arnie
Back To The Future - Another "experience" ride, but worth a go as they are getting rid of it in September.
Animal Show - I swear I saw Dad's long lost brother in this one ...
Waterworld - Full blown live action show ... with water!!
Fear Factor Live - Dad wanted to audition for this but unfortunately the lycra wouldn't stretch that far!
Special Effects Stages - A good insight into the numerous effects that make a film.
Back Draft - Come on ... who doesn't like a good fire?

We didn't leave the park until 9pm and then went into the Universal City Walk where we had dinner at The Hard Rock Cafe whilst listening to the worst band ever - although I'm sure Amy would love them!
