The themepark at Universal Studios in Hollywood were smaller than expected, but the rides and shows were fantastic. MUST try/see rides/shows: - Waterworld - The Simpson ride - The Mummy - Shrek 4D Also tried Jurrassic Park, Animal show, Terminator, Ghost House and they were all pretty good attractions. We were dissappointed about the studio tour. If you're planning a... more

I agree with the reviewer that stated it isn't an amusement park and going into this park with that expectation makes a difference on your enjoyment. There are a couple of "rides", but if you are comparing it to Disneyland, you will be disappointed. My husband and I went last weekend. We only had about a half day to spend... more

ignore every review you hear that says this is a waste of time. this is a great place to come for anyone. the best things i think are as follows: Thrills: Jurassic Park River Adventure. This is a peaceful river ride in a boat until the dinosaurs take over and destroy the lab, your only escape...is an 84ft. vertical drop... more

The Orlando Universal studios is better in my opinion with more rides and better rides. The main reason to visit this place is to check out how movies are made...not the rides. I'll sum up some of the attractions: Universal studio Tour: get a tour behind the stage of some of the biggest movies. Interesting but very long 6/10 Special... more

We decided to visit USH despite our disregard for the Florida site as we've heard many nice things about it. We bought our tickets as part of a package and opted for the Front of Line passes. While the park wasn't too crowded on a Thursday, it was a definitely plus to skip ahead of almost everyone and get right... more

I was visiting family in LA and my cousin and I decided to go to Universal for the day. We were planning on purchasing just an ordinary one day pass, but after standing in the ticket line for amost an hour, we dicided to buy "front of line passes". If it wasnt for those passes, the day wouldnt have been... more

We went on almost all of the rides, and even though I walk with a cane, I found them easy to get on & off. The attendants were VERY helpful. I am a "senior" but I still had a great time and so did my wife (who is a lot younger than me). We liked the Jurrastic park ride best.... more

The VIP tour of universal studios was very dissapointing. It costs alot more than the normal tour and to be honest doesnt show much more than the normal studio tour. We did everything the normal tour did and the only extra things we did were go into the prop warehouse (not overly exciting) and to a foley stage, and extra... more

I last went here in 1991 and 1998 - i went again this april. The park just doesn't seem to have the same vibe about it like it did when i went in the previous years. the buzz is gone. the studio lot tour is still enjoyable and the mummy ride and jurasstic park river ride are both much better... more

I travelled to Universal on my own from Santa Monica via the bus and metro system. Which was easy enough, and not a bad way to see how the city works. Made it to universal and from memory thought it was a bit expensive at the time. Once inside though, i did have an enjoyable time, the studio tour was... more
