Today was all about Universal Studios! We left our camp at 7am for the 2 hour drive to Hollywood and arrived just in time for the opening of Universal Studios. We started out at the lower lot doing all of the "rides". We started with the Jurassic Park ride which was a lot of fun but got us really wet! Then we went on our favorite ride which was Transformers 3D. It was so much fun and the graphics were amazing! You felt like you were right in the middle of the movie! Really, it was the funnest ride we have ever been on. Next was the scariest. It was the Mummy Returns ride. None of us knew what we were getting into on this ride but had a good indication when we saw a preteen girl crying in the line. I took pause for a moment but Tim pressed us on. Then Leah started crying and I thought about how stupid I was to know nothing about what I was about to do but probably would not have done it if I knew. This ride is a dark ride with a roller coaster that goes 45mph...first forward, then backwards with scary, mummy images throughout the ride. I'm telling you, it was so scary, I started crying and hyperventilating. Thankfully it was quick and ended quick before I totally lost my mind! I broke my glasses on the ride and then was so disoriented after I walked around with only 1 lens in my glasses, not even realizing it! Tim had a huge laugh on that one. After that it was to the upper loft for a couple of shows including Water World, Special Effects show and the Back lot Studio tour. Noah, my movie lover, really enjoyed the behind the scenes look at the movie sets. Universal does everything excellent and this park was really a blast, probably the best theme park experience we have had! We spent the whole day there and didn't get back to camp until 9pm...a long, fun day!
