Lets see.
I went to US/IOA for the first time over the summer.
The last time I went to Universal was 1985 in Hollywood.
I loved it.. from the moving sidewalk in the parking garage (your feet appreciate that on the way home), to the piped in music, to the fabulous restaurants in City walk (we haven't even gotten to the parks yet!)
Universal, fun, fun, fun. MIB (men in black) so much fun, and it didn't feel kiddy at all.. very adult oriented, Back to the Future, one of the best simulators I have ever been on!, even the ET ride was fun (a little cheesy, but cute!). The Hanna Barbera ride was a TRIP! (took my DH back to the day when the Flintstones were on PRIME TIME!) Jaws was fun, and we giggled ourselves silly about King Kong (and what peoples perception of NYC was/is)
The Hitchcock show was very informative and we laughed so hard during the Horror Makeup show.
T23D was very very ingenious.
Now on to IOA...
Spiderman, great mix of 3D, effects, and visuals.
Dueling Dragons. the themeing, and the excitement factor
Hulk.. what can I say? No wonder this coaster got #1 for Top Ten coasters.. ( they were filming that Travel Channel special when I was there!)
Mythos fabulous restaurant.
Jurassic Park, very fun ride..
Popeye/Dudley Do Right, you will get wet, but it is a lot better than say flume rides in Six Flags.
Down to the music, staging, everything was great there.
In fact we are going back with our kids in August.
