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..

Come and join me in exploring the world...
