Universal Studios

          Today was another day of a lot of fun. When I woke up the sky was gray and it looked like it was going to rain. We arrived at the gates of Universal Studios and went in. Universal Studios has a lot of movement of ideas because the movies on T.V. are turned into rides. Universal Studios' relative location is near Islands of Adventure and across the bridge from City Walk As we went in I needed to go to the bathroom so we found the nearest bathroom and went in. When I came out it was pouring outside. We were lucky because we had just bought ponchos from the stand. We used our ponchos to get to an indoor movie. We watched Shrek in 4-D. It was very fun to watch because things popped out at you and it felt real. After the movie the rain had died down to a small drizzle. We went to Twister which was a special effects show.It was what would happen if a tornado went through a small town. It was very funny when I saw a cow flying in the tornado. There were many explosions and a lot of wind and then the show ended with a big bang.

          The weather outside was now very cold and we moved on to our next ride. Our next ride was Revenge of the Mummy which was an indoor roller-coaster. For some odd reason there was almost no line. When we entered the ride it was completely dark the whole ride so you didn't know where there was a drop. About halfway through the ride we started falling backwards but it only fell back a little bit. In the end the ride was very enjoyable and we got to see our faces in the picture. As we left we passed Rip Ride Rocket which we were saving for last. By now it was around lunch time and we were looking around for a place to eat lunch. Our next ride was Disaster and we had to wait a long time in line. We were supposedly making a movie. We got into a subway and then they let out water and fire. It made it look like a real disaster.

          We came out and our next ride was Jaws. We got into a boat and we were touring around the bay when another boat was sinking as we listened on the radio. We went looking for the sunken ship and found Jaws. The shark looked pretty realistic and it was gargantuan. On the ride Jaws tips the boat back and forth. He also lights a gas station and there is a huge explosion. At the end our guide shoots Jaws with a shotgun and we kill the shark. We arrive back at the port and we are all survivors. The ride was really fun because everything that happened was a surprise. After we got off we went to Men in Black. Men in Black was not a typical ride. It was a ride where you had to shoot things on the ride. At the end you get points which depends on how many aliens you shot. You had to aim at the alien's eyes to get points. We were playing against another team and my family got more points. I really liked this ride because it was interactive among the riders.
