Universal Studios
Jun 30
With just a couple of to spare before dinner, a quick dash was made to the nearby Universal Studios. I’d already visited the Universal Studios in Los Angeles and in many ways both parks were similar. I am sure that since this was newer theme park, many things would be probably been built on a bigger and on a grander scale. But after Islands of Adventure, this was rather tame.
The best ride and show – the Terminator show and the Simpson’s Ride.
The disappointment – the 3D Men in Black Ride.
Shop till you drop…. Universal CityWalk and Downtown Disney
The Universal Citywalk is prominently positioned at the entrance to both their theme parks, so its hard not to miss it. You pretty much have to walk through it to get to the theme parks.
When families and tourists are on a spending spree at theme parks, why not provide them with more opportunities to spend by keeping them there all day. Why not provide them total entertainment, shopping and dining packages all in one place. Universal Citywalk and Downtown Disney in Orlando, both serve this purpose. Evening concerts, movie theatres and of course restaurant after restaurant fill the place. No doubt there is stuff to see and do in these two places but cursory visits were all that the tired mater and pater could muster.
Ok, so I include moi in the "tired by end of day" as well!, especially as I had been walking all day.
After walking all day, standing in lines at rides at the theme parks, one (or rather most people) are rather fatigued, so its amazing to see so many people going strong at these places at all hours.
