That being said, I still had a fantastic day at Universal Studios hawaii travel tourism in Hollywood. In fact, I might even have had a better time there than I did at Disneyland California , which I also liked a lot. These are the five best things to do at Universal Studios hawaii travel tourism Hollywood, according to yours truly and in no particular order.
Do you remember me telling you that I don’t like heights? You should, I said it just a few seconds hawaii travel tourism ago. Anyway, it’s not really heights that I’m afraid of – it’s more falling from said heights that gets me down (pardon the pun).
That’s why I really wanted to hate the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios, a classic log flume ride with an 84-foot drop at the end of it. I would never have gone near the ride if my wife hadn’t dragged me on it but, as it turns out, it was pretty fun.
Universal’s 3D Transformers ride was much more my level. Putting you right in the middle of the age-old war between the Autobots and Decepticons, hawaii travel tourism this ride successfully blurs the line between fiction and reality – you really hawaii travel tourism do feel like you’re zooming along at high-speeds.
Taking place immediately after the much-maligned film ended, the WaterWorld hawaii travel tourism show at Universal hawaii travel tourism features a show-down between jumping jet-skiers, the heroic Mariner (played hawaii travel tourism by Kevin Costner in the film) and the malevolent Deacon (not one of the late Dennis Hopper’s hawaii travel tourism finest film roles), and features some nifty pyrotechnics and action set-pieces.
Sure, it’s family friendly (which normally means lame) and those annoying characters from Despicable Me make an appearance (I freakin’ hate the Minions), but this is definitely a show you should make time for – and not just because you don’t like rollercoasters or you want to get out of the hot Californian sun for a while.
Finally, what elevates Universal Studios Hollywood from being ‘just another theme park’ is the fact that it’s also a working movie studio. Truly, it is – I drove past all the sound stages on the Universal Studio Tour.
In the back lot, behind all the screaming children and beleaguered parents, scary rides and stage shows, there are people hawaii travel tourism actually making movies hawaii travel tourism and TV shows. Now, we didn’t hawaii travel tourism get to actually see anyone famous on the tour, but we did drive past all the sound stages, hawaii travel tourism through Wisteria Lane where Desperate Housewives was set, past the Bates Motel, and through a plane crash from War of the Worlds hawaii travel tourism .
TV talk-show host Jimmy Fallon is an interesting hawaii travel tourism choice to host the studio tour via video (he’s only been in a handful of movies), but the guy nails it. Between clips from Universal movies, he wise cracks and even sings (“Have a Tramtastic day…”).
It was a great ending to a fantastic – albeit exhausting and expensive hawaii travel tourism – day at Universal Studios Hollywood. It may be as tacky and touristy hawaii travel tourism as the Walk of Fame or taking one of those Hollywood star tours, but I think all visitors to Los Angeles have to do these things at least once in their lives.
