That's right- I was quite disappointed about Universal Studios. I was really expecting better than it was. There really isn't that much there to do. I mean okay some things were great-
1) there were 0 lines. I am talking we walked into every ride with less than a 5 minute wait on about everything. The longest we waited was 25 minutes and that was on ET and it was ONLY becasue they were having "technical difficulties beyond their control" so the line stopped for a few minutes. Disney just beats this place. Yes, I know- i should like different parks for different reasons, but I just can't think of a few reasons to go back here. I was disappointed about both parks in the aspect of every ride you went on you were lead to the "place you weren't supposed to go" meaning every ride or show it SEEMED like anyway that oopps we let you in where we weren't supposed to. It got old.
It was neat at Universal that Creed was there filming their next music video coming out in November. Mtv was there filming a "behind the scenes" so it was neat standing there watching big wigs walking around there around the "hot set" as they called it. We seen the lead singer for Creed, that was neat. The set they were working in was cool. Looked like the streets there in that "town looking place" was flooded. I don't know what to call this area, becasue we weren't allowed in it, as I said- it was blocked off for the video.
Anyway, we all liked IOA. I think this park was great. I really debated on taking my twin girls- 9 yo there becasue someone had posted that 10 and under may not have a great time, but my twins really enjoyed it. I think they too liked it better than USF. They went on a lot more than I thought they would. They don't like roller coasters, but they went on that Flying Unicorn, and that is all they have talked about since we've been home is how cool that ride was. The different themed places were neat- kinda like Disney World is- I mean MK- where you have different themed areas. The Suess land was neat. What is nice about thei park is the way it is set up - you have kinda a more adult area, then kid area, then adult area, and so on. Oh man, Spider man ride-- wow!! Was I impressed !!! Man that is neat. Again, at this park-- 0 waits!!!! Okay - I lied - we got to the Dueling Dragons and it said on the sign 10 minutes.....well, I don't know who had the watch on (haha), but boy was someone screwed up when they were telling time here folks!! We waited for nearly 1 hour while my twins sat in the hot sun waiting for us to get off this ride!! Poor kids.
The ride was neat, but worth an hour--- probably not - maybe it is just becasue all the other rides we basically could walk right on- with very minimal wait. We walked right on the Hulk. Neat ride!! The beginning of it was cool. I won't ruin it for those who haven't went on it yet.
Anyway, we may go back to IOA, but not USF- we will spend our money at Disney next time.
Thanks for letting me unload.
