Universal California

[ChisJo]

Does anybody know a good site to find information on Universal California? And, if someone has been there, what is it like in comparison to USF and IOA?

Thanks, Jo

We were there last summer. The biggest difference is the back-lot tram ride that takes you through the studios. Do not miss this. Their Mummy ride is different, as is the Jurassis Park ride. The is also a Back-Draft attraction that is similar to Earthquake in its setup. They have everything crammed into one park, on two levels. You go down three or four big escalators to the bottom part of the park where you will find JPRA, Mummy, Backdraft and some show. Citywalk is very neat.

I'm out here right now, typing this from Los Angeles. I fly back tonight.
USH is smaller than USF, but has its own charm. For example, on the backlot tour, they put 3 rides in one, those being King Kong, Earth Quake, and Jaws. The tram rolls into each scene, you watch it, then move on.

The Mummy is different, you start with the coaster, then the beatles, go backwards, then spin 180 degrees to end the ride. I shot a POV and I'll have it for everyone to view when I get back.

Also shot a POV of DCAs Tower of Terror.

A trip out here is definately worth it.
