UNIVERSAL STUDIOS in Hollywood, California USA
At start, you would pass the "CityWalk" ( got nice all sort of shops ..and fine restaurants or fastfood..) leading to the entrance of the themepark. Inside the themepark, you would see a lot of well known costumed characters associated with films produced by Universal Studios.
The best ride I like here is the "Terminator 3D", a dramatization happens before you are leaded to the main cinema..a 3D movie..It shocked me when the crystalized villain pop in front of me. Its so real.. and when he bursted into liquid cold crystals effect.
Secondly, I liked the "Back to the future", riding on a flying car..with 3D cinema surrounds you.. Its sad to hear that this ride was been replaced last 2008.
Next great sight here is the "Backlot Tour", you would ride in a tram passing all the film locations and studios.. You would feel the effects of parting of red sea as seen in the 10 Commandments, chase by a shark.., the flood, earthquake effect in the
subway, roaring Kingkong encounter(you would smell the banana scent) and the newly
Mummy film effects and War of the World wreckage .. I've seen a news that some of the part of this site had a fire
(year 2008)..and was closed to the public.. Hopefully it was been restored.
Next nice ride here is the "Jurassic Park Ride".. you would travel in water seeing the moving dinosaurs.. getting into a height of 84 feet and splunging down.. There's no way you wont get wet. Be sure to wear plastic coat before entering this ride.
After this ride, we went to watch the "The BackDraft", a fire effect studio, as well as to dry ourselves..
Another nice spot here is the "WaterWorld", cool actor speed motor stunts,airplane crash and blasts in water..

SEAWORLD in San Diego, California USA
The home of dolphins, whales, sharks, wild arctic polar bears, penguins and other marine life.
During the time I went here, there are various shows like "SHAMU" (killer whale) Show, dolphin show and Sea lion show..There are separate exhibits for sharks ,polar bear and arctic penguins.
There are some few rides here which I enjoyed such as :
Bayside Sky Ride - hanging cable carts traveling on both ends showing the sea below,
Shipwrech Rapids - a swirling circular raft where every passengers would surely get wet.
Pirates4D - a 3D theatre show interactive where I experienced seems true buzing bees under my seat.
At present, when I checked SeaWorld website, theres a new Atlantis Ride. Anyone tried
this ride who wants to share?

DISNEYLAND in Anaheim, California USA
This is the first theme park I visited. My first visit is with my co-workers then the
second one is with my highschool friends..
This park is so wide, your one day tour may not be enough..
It was subdivided into different themes. The best rides
I like here were the Indiana Jones(you could really feel the action), Splash Mountain (get wet),
and the Hunted Mansion (where you could see a lot of hollogram ghosts).
Disney characters are all over the place.
What I missed to see here is the parade and Fantasmic Show during the night..
I wish I was a kid when I first came here, I would truly enjoy the most of it and a dream come true fantasy. ;-)
