I pull the gun out of its holder at MIB.



Anyone else feel the excitement??? Please add your moments!!!
 
When I cross over the bridge into Jurassic Park and hear the JP music.

Great idea for a thread, BTW.
 
I feel the excitement when I enter IOA, listen to the magical (oops illegal word around this board) music, and walk through the POE to then see the Hulk in all of it glory.
 
............ I throw foam balls at little kids who then proceed to throw foam balls back at me faster and harder than I threw them to begin with inside of Curious George.

I'm smiling just reading this response. It's so true; adults have a GREAT time in the Ball Factory too!
 
Me and Mike get in our Sunday-best gangsta gear, leave our manners at the door, and only talk in 4-letter cuss words. ;)

Seriously, my favorite must be checking in to the RPR and taking that awesome walk from the RPR to the parks, and having the employees working the gates great us by name since we are AP holders, smiling and telling us to have a great day! :)
 
Where do I start?

When I stand along the lake at look across at mythos on other side. I swear my mom thought I was crazy when I drug her over saying you have to see this view.

When I walk from one Island to another and get enveloped by the theming.

When I walk though the ET que.
 
I feel the excitement when I'm sitting in a reclining chair outside of Margaritaville, sipping on a margarita. It's a good spot to people watch while listening to music floating over from IOA. It's the perfect start to an exciting vacation for us.
 
I get a shiver down my back when we arrive at Universal Studios and I hear the music playing.
Sometimes it's Back To The Future (even though I don't go on the ride anymore) or many of the other peices of music that are played, some of them I am unfamiliar with.
There is one in particular which I think is from Apollo 13? Orchestral it is, and I get goose bumps when it plays, does anyone know which one I mean?
 
Oh man, definitely the E.T. queue. That thing is a walk-through attraction in itself..

There's so many for me... the movie music at Universal, the really enchanting music at the entrance to Islands..

I know this is a strange one but you know those big lights in the sky from the Universal globe? There's a name for those kind of lights but I have no idea what they are.. Followspot lights? I don't know... but at night, that's it for me. And I love seeing them from my hotel room.

When I was little and I'd see those lights, I'd ask my mom if that meant we were close to Universal. But.. it'd actually be like.. a car dealership. lol
 
My gosh, people! What takes you so long? I start to tingle when I see the clever UO billboards as we approach Universal from the airport!
 
The early morning walk from the hotel, thru city walk to a place where
the sun keeps shining thru the pouring rain.....going where the weather suits my clothes...... dont know why but that song always pops in my head when I think of Universal, Its my happy place :)
 
I get excited when we walk from the RPR through Citywalk to US and listening to the music as we walk through. :banana:
 
For both of my trips to US/ IOA, each and every time, I have gotten the warm fuzzies as soon as I got through the entrance turnstyles into the parks. :thumbsup2

Also, crossing the state line from Georgia into Florida starts to get me excited. :goodvibes

Oh gosh last summer was our first visit and I have to say when we hit City Walk it was just sooo cool.
 
when you're driving into the city and you first get a glimpse of the tall rides- dr. doom and hulk. that really gets me. and then checking in at the RPR and going up to your room and looking out the window at what you're about to encounter.
 
When I hand the person at the parking booth my PAP it starts, then it really kicks in when I hear The Hulk!
 
I feel the excitement when we are entering the line to get through the turnstile hand over my AP and hear the music. At IOA I LOVE the music thats played at POE it really gets me excited to get into the park. Also reading for the first time that trip....Let The Adventure Begin!!!!

Great thread! :teeth:
 
got another one...
Waking up to the sounds of the Hulks test run before the park opens. Gosh, got to love a park view room at the RPR
