Universal

Last week I finally had the chance to hit Universal Studios Hollywood for a full day of rides and attractions. It's been a while since I've been to a theme park, the last time being in '99 in Orlando, when we went to Universal Studios Orlando and Disney World. This time around was pretty cool, and it was surprisingly empty. Of course, we went during the week, in the middle of October. The weather was still kind of warm, and the lines were non-existent. We did all the attractions in the span of about eight hours! The couple new ones which we went on were The Mummy, Jurassic Park, Shrek 4D, Van Helsing, and the Waterworld stunt attraction. The staples are still there, Back to the Future, T2:3D, Backdraft. I didn't see the Twister one, but that might have been only for the Orlando location. We also went on the studio tour, which was impressive near the end of it. They had the regulars, Jaws, King Kong, and some new ones, The Mummy, War of the Worlds. They had the full set from the airplane crash sequence there, and it was awesome.
