hi ppl
today we went to universal studio.
woke up kinda early..
so we went there..
it was a very funny ride there..cos we cld nt find it..haas..was like in circles..
we finally gt there..
and we bought the tickets..
and our universal studios adventure was just about to begin...
it was like a real hollywood scene..(well actually it is..they do live filming there..)
we first went to Jurassic Park attraction..
It claimed to have a 85 foot vertical plunge..sudden drops and acceleration..and all sorts of words to petrify u.
but when we took the ride..it was like..nt vertical..nt sharp turn..and none of the words claimed by them..
it was like..so nt exciting..except for those loud roars from the dinosaurs..
we then went onto the next ride..the REVENGE OF THE MUMMY..
it claims to be the world's only rollercoaster that goes forwards, and backwards, at accelerating speeds,sudden drops..dropping props..and screams of the mummy..the picture itself were enough to scare us.
but we just went on it..
and it was indeed fast..indeed turning..and indeed back and forth..but it ended quite early..
it was nt as bad..except m specs gt a little bent cos i put it in my jacket..and when i when forward..i probably squashed it..
We then went to the show backdraft..
for those who know..backdraft is a show based on the heroism of the firefighters who battle away in a blazing furnace everyday..
so..they made this attraction..to let u experience it..
so we went in..and they had real fires..had the standing platform where we were at falling down a few metres..had pipes above us falling on us..mini explosions..etc..and it was so COOL!
I took a video of it..and will upload it too..haas..
We then went to watch the 3D show Terminator 2 3D and it was not nice at all..
it was probably the world's most advanced technology..as claimed that it was by skynet..
its introduction was about a peek at the future..which seem like crazy things to me..
they had things like using bionic eyes to play basketball..where every shot goes in..din it occur to them that if they invented them..no one need to play basketball anymore cos u jus keep scoring from practically anywhere!!
the show soon started..and they had 4 big gigantic machines shooting lazers at us and each other and some boards above us..
it then showed the terminator coming out on this motorcycle..from the screen itself..started shooting blanks around the auditorium..then a few more people came out of the screen to shoot more blanks..covering the whole place with a smoky smell..then suddenly the terminator drove into the screen with another guy..and poof.they were in the screen..in the show itself..of cos that could be an illusion..u noe..special effects..
buts thats nt all..
they could stand out of the screen and shoot at the screen, causing the monsters of the screen to get shot at..and supposedly get injured..
We then went to watch the show animal stars which showed the cast of EVAN ALMIGHTY. it showed how they trained the birds to carry the tools to build the ark..showed how clever the dogs were..showed how smart they were..and it was awesome..the dog behaved as if he knew what the guy was saying..the guy would say..stand up..sit down..stand up..sit down..move back..back..back..forward..forward..back..sit down..stand up..roll on your sides..stand up..ready..set..dun move..jump..and a whole lot of instructions which the dog did spontaneously..
it was incredible..
We then went to watch the Water World..
it was a water stunt show..and involved fire..
nt very interesting though..though the effects were awesome..
We then had lunch..
which was pizza and chicken tenders.
We then went to....
House of HORROR..
it was a walk through experience..
and it started out quite ok..
then something came out of the darkness to scare us..
and my sister was getting scared..
then another scared us..
and at the exit..a horrible looking person came out and chased my sister still she cried..
LOL..
and when she finally saw light and i mean real sunlight..
the security personnal at the exit placed his hand infront of my sis and she yelled and cried!!
LOLS
it was scary..but i din think she would cry..
but she did..
lols
We then put that aside..and went to watch Shrek 4D
it was a very very nice show..
i loved it!
it was based on Shrek 3..
and it involved ups and downs..water effects..and even tinkerbell shooting out of the screen!
hahas
We then went for our last ride..
the EXCLUSIVE BEHIND THE SCENE UNIVERSAL STUDIO TOUR..
we saw the following..
-An actual on site filming for the next upcoming film Arnold..
-The tank where advertisements underwater are made
-The town for Desperate Housewives
-The scene for Evan Almighty where the ark was made and released..(it was actually a small lake..they just replaced the background in the show..i think the ark was stationary all the while..haas..)
-The scene for War of the Worlds
-The scene where they film any shows as long as they need a town..(ever wondered how they filmed at places u nvr find..such as certain towns calimed to be shot in paris or spain? well..they do it all at a town in universal studios..and just change the signs to a certain language..paint the buildings to mimick a certain location..and viola..u get paris at universal studios!)
-The scene for the return of the mummy..
-The scene of Jaws
-The stage of CSI
-The chalets for Directors
-The stage for a show which had trains falling all over and ground shaking..
-The live models of The fast and the furious Tokyo
-and many more stages that u nvr dream of!
it was the coolest thing i ever saw!
