Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios Hollywood is iconic. I haven’t been there since I was a kid, so it was great to recently visit the theme park. Here are some of the highlights from my time there:

WaterWorld

I really enjoyed this show, loaded with stunts and explosions. Since I also sat in the “Soak Zone,” I got sprayed a lot. (Tip: The extra refreshing even starts pre-show.)

Tram Tour

Of course, I saw the back lot. Beyond the thrilling tram troubles, I liked seeing the various props used in famous films.

From “War of the Worlds”

Harry Potter

I wondered how the Hogwarts world would feel like. It was fun to relive the magic by walking the grounds, checking out the Butterbeer stalls, and listening to the frog choir.

Rides

I really liked the Despicable Me ride because it has both humor and heart. You shrink down to Minion-size and get to explore Gru’s wacky dominion. Despite an hour-long wait, I also liked the Jurassic World ride. It was exciting to see the different dinosaurs and plummet down a waterfall.

Fun fact: Universal Studios’ claim to early fame came from its horror flicks.
