Universal Studios (16 Jul 07)

Universal Studios, one of the MUST-GO themeparks in LA with worldclass rides & entertainment.

I rate the Indiana Jones ride in Disneyland 10/10, and some suckier attractions 3/10. So how does Universal Studios fare? I give it a consistent 9/10 for all the rides, and a full marks for the Studio Tour.

The Studio Tour gets us seated on a tram, touring through the movie sets and letting u realise how those awesome movie scenes were done. Most sets are fake, like the huge ship we saw in King Kong, it's actually just a miniature. But some sets are for real! Do you remember watching "War of the World" where theres a crashed Boeing 747? The director really smashed up a Boeing 747 just for the scene! But since we have been faked time & again by Hollywood movies, we really ought to take the tourguide's words with a pinch of salt - that plane might be some old plane that is gonna be scraped soon rite?

Looking at the pictures below, do you see some familar movie scenes? I dun wana use my lousy engrish to describe this awesome tour anymore... it will just make you feel "U call this good?" Just look at the pictures and witness it yourself! On top of the tour, there's still lotsa other rides & live shows that kept me hyped up for the ENTIRE day (Disneyland got me excited for like... 3hrs).

Ms Mimi Tan Siling aka Char Ling aka The Little Tyrant came to a decision of not joining us at the Universal Studios. At least there's this superb attraction for you to visit the next time u come to LA, that's all i can say! =p
