Universal Studios is one of the best theme parks in the world. Nothing beats the interesting, and exciting, Studio Tour. The Studio Tour takes place on a tram and escorts you through the actual Universal Studios lot. You get to see the set of sitcoms (like Desperate Housewives)and many of the Universal block-buster films.
The Studio Tour is pleasant and effortless. You sit and listen as you watch film and video segments and play while seeing the real deal. The prompts are cool to see, too. They display an extensive collection of film cars and then a show a demonstration of how the studio can get the stunt cars to turn, crash and burn. The tour is well over an hour so grab some frozen lemonade before you board (sold at the entrance to the ride).
The rides at Universal are good, but not plentiful. To save time consider spending more money as getting the express pass (Head of the line) to cut down on wait time. You'll still have to wait - however, not so long. Minutes versus hours.
The Simpson Ride is a must. It's loads of fun and just an amazing combination of thrill ride and technology. The same goes for the Revenge of the Mummy Ride but, visitors complained that the ride was too short.
The Jurassic Park water ride is worth a whirl and doesn't get you too wet if you don't sit on the sides or in the front (an 84 foot plunge is at the end). Also, don't leave without taking in the Shrek Attraction. It is in 4-D and extremely entertaining.
Adventure Woman recommends Universal as a great way to entertain the kids and learn about the film industry. Try the Banana Split Dipp'n Dots. A real treat.
