Last June 15, 2012, We decided to have a family vacation for a great tour in universal studios hollywood theme park in los angeles califonia. Getting in the park was so easy and properly signed posted. Getting the ticket is so easy and quick. $159 each for one day only so you need to stand for hours in queues. This is the highlight of our trip. We arrived to early to enjoy theme park and it was so empty that time. No long lines. We tried the simpsons ride and it was great. We went on the tour and the tour was awesome. It was really fun and exciting. We also tried the Terminator, the effects were perfect.
Transformers was the best ride in the park, had almost 60 minutes wait time and the passes allowed us to walk past everybody. The kids loved transformers and jurrasic park but less impressed with the mummy.
Things we really enojoyed are the jurassic park water ride, water world show, kingkong battle on the studio, the shrek and terminator 3D.
It had a lot of 3D shows. long wait for some rides so I suggest to come early to maximized the day. The bus tour was also great and a lot more functional that Disneyland.
The kids liked the Simpsons ride which I have to say left me cold. This was disorganised and wait times, even with the passes were around twice the advertised.
The Shrek 4D was a great laugh and probably about one of best show.
Make sure you purchase the fast pass options- not cheap but better than spending 90 minutes queuing.
