Hey all
Spent today at Universal Studios - drove thier in early LA freeway traffic and after 3000kms on the wrong side of the road I copped my first horn BLASTING as I cut someone off - they dont just beep beep they f*ckin BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP for about 20 seconds !
Anyway - we got there...
Once again it looked like the crowds were well and truly back.....but after 15 minutes everyone had spread throughout the park.
We decided to skip the early rush for the 'tram tour' and ride the rides here - it turned out a great move as the rides were empty first thing in the morning.
Kids obviously wanted to do this ride ( a rollercoaster simulator ) straight away.
We then went on The Mummy - which is a rollercoaster in the dark - it has a fast launch and some decent special effects - it is a short ride but pretty good overall
Next up was Jurassic Park - a boat ride with a decent drop at the end of it and some decent 'wetting' throughout the ride as well - pretty entertaining.
You would never believe who we bumped into at the park - incredible huh
Then.....out of absolutely nowhere, the bloody mother in law pops up !
I couldnt believe it.
They have this attraction called House of Horrors which is a walk-through ghost house where real actors dressed up as freaks pop out of nowhere and try to scare the sh*t out of you....Kayla did NOT want to go in there , she is a CHICKEN - a MASSIVE chicken and had the sh*ts that I made her go in - she ended up in tears
Just when we thought we were having a good time , the airline company rang to say they had a problem with our plane for this Friday's flight.....
This is actually the set from the plane crash in War of The Worlds and was on the tram tour of the backlots.
The backlot tour was cool - I was having a good time and then for some reason a flood of hatred came over me......and I wanted to kick sh*t out of somebody :rolleyes
I found some great stuff in the shops today too -
But seriosuly - I so wanted to buy this BIG Alien head - the detail was OUTSTANDING - trouble is that was $1250.00 plus shipping- they had a full size Iron Man which looked unreal - it was $7000.00
They also do a show called Watrworld - I wont give anything away other than this one photo - but it is WELL worth watching - it is excellent actually and the actors in it are some of the people from shows like CSI, House, Law & Order and they allow pics with them afterwards as well.
After the Studios we went out into Citywalk area which is chocka's full of restraunts, shops and bars etc - look what I found in some shops - I didnt know these existed
And what better way to end a day than watching The Chin himself live.
Yet ANOTHER bloody good day here in the USA.
Only a couple left and one of them will be spent shoe shopping ( no I am not joking )
Wotto
