Universal Studios

Wow, what a two days!

We wanted to do one of California’s big theme parks, Disneyland and Universal Studios Theme Park were two we had in mind, both were expensive but a “two days for the price of one” deal at Universal Studio’s Hollywood made our decision for us. For those who are unsure Universal Studios Theme Park is a theme park owned by Universal Studios, who make attractions which have themes from their movies.

The great thing about Universal Studios is that it literally has something for everyone. There are interactive shows on the production of Universal films including shows on ‘special effects’ and the ‘animal actors’ used in their films, while there are also more lavish productions with ‘real’ actors. There are also a few conventional rollercoaster’s for the greater thrill-seekers.

We ended up doing everything and some things more than once. Andrea surprised herself by even doing the rollercoaster rides. She has a bit of fear for this stuff, but in the end did actually really enjoy some of the scarier rides.

Out of the dozen or so attractions that we went to there was not a single one that we didn’t enjoy. In fact we enjoyed all of them. Our particular favourites were the Shrek 4D ride, Jurassic Park (Andrea’s favourite) and the Simpsons ride (my favourite).

We definitely have a bit more of a taste for theme parks. Andrea even says that she has lost a bit of her fear!! Our aim now is to get a Universal Studios franchise to open in the UK, care to sign our petition below??

Proof that we really are in Hollywood
