Just 2 weeks ago, boy and I took leaves to visit the Universal Studios. I have not been there before (except peeping through from the entrance lol) so I am really excited about it. We went there on a Saturday and the crowd was crazy, so many people! But I am really grateful that we got the express passes, courtesy of boy's friend! :) That leaves us going to express lanes for rides, unlimited times. Awesome right! Express lanes are always empty so it can be shiok to walk through it with loads of people queuing in the non-express lanes.
Popcorn place at the entrance!
We headed straight to the Transformer ride where there was a real long queue. Luckily for us we did not need to queue so it was pretty fast for us. It was only a 5 minutes ride but nothing fantastic. In my opinion it is worth to try it out but not worth it to queue 2 hours for it.
Right after we came out from the Transformer ride.
We went to the highlight of the day - Roller Coaster! I cannot remember what was the exact name of this ride but all I remember there was 2 types of rides for this - The Human and the Cylone. Boy was telling me how exciting this ride was and that the Human ride was actually quite scary. We took the Cylone first and verdict was - Scary for the first time try only, but very giddy after the ride.If you are able to conquer the first time for this, then it should not be a problem to take repeated rides for this.
After the Cylone, we took the Human ride - which boy screamed like mad and was holding on very tightly to the bare railing that secured our legs. I pull his hands up but he immediatedly pushed my hand off to hold on to the railing. Lol! In my opinion it is not as scary, but is fun.
I think we took like 10 rides for this!
The Revenge of the Mummy ride. Quite mild though.
Look at how crazy the crowd was!
Then we headed over to Far Far Away for the Shrek ride. I love the castles and I bet most girls will like the structures here, just like those you read/saw in storybooks! Pretty! :)
Waterworld was next. This is not a ride, but an action show. You can really hear gun shots, see fire etc.
We got too tired so we had lunch at Mel's Drive in. Quite an old school fast food restaurant and the food was not bad too, just a tad too expensive.
Our meals that boy ordered!
I had fish burger set!
Boy's beef burger!
Headed over to have some mild ride after our full lunch - Madagascar ride!
Came out to Hollywood area for some photo-taking. I love how pretty the structures there are!
Lights, Camera, Action next! Where they show you how films are made.
Finding a place for some rest because the weather was so hot!
Even in the evening, the crowd still has not subsided.
Christmas performance going on!
Boy wanted to stay till 9pm to catch the fireworks so we found a good spot just in front of Mel's Drive in!
How pretty! :)
That marks the end of our day so it's back to Home Sweet Home! :)
