Hollywood here we come.......

We bought Universal Studio tickets with a free shuttle ride to the studio unfortunately we didn't reserve our ride in time to be on the 8 bus we had to be on the 11. Well the pick up bus was a 1/2 an hour late and then we had to go on two more hotel pickups and then we had to go to the bus depot to give them the tickets we printed off the Internet to prove I guess we bought Universal tickets with a free shuttle. What a pain in the ass! Then we get back on the bus and it was a 45 to 1 hour 1/2 to Universal depending on the traffic. Oh the joy of being in a big City!!!!! But as we are driving we are told we have no choice of when we will be taken back to our hotel the only choice is 9:30 pm so we all figure 8 hours in the park will be way enough!!!! We get to the park fairly fast the traffic was good and we did get to see the all famous Hollywood sign. When we step of the bus however we know the park won't be much fun, the wind is blowing and it is fricken cold! It might be 54 degrees but add the moisture in the air and it was plain miserable. Tim had to go buy a thick hoodie and Laurie and I bought gloves! The first thing we do is decide we need to go on this new Mummy ride that they are bragging about. After and hour and 1/2 of waiting in line (no Asians at least) we get on this ride. It is suppose to be a fast indoor roller coaster. Fast is right!!!! Not in speed but in duration, we were on that ride for 30 seconds no joke! I was pissed that sucked!!!!!! And I waited over a fucking hour!!!! Oh well off to the next attraction. Jim Bob told me I had to go on the Jurassic Park ride and dammit I was going to no matter if I got wet and froze to death. On the way to the line someone was selling rain slickers and that was the best $3.00 I spent that day! Now in Disneyland before you get on any ride they have a sign that tells you the approximate waiting time which is usually right on the money. Universal Studios has the same thing but add and hour to anything they post as a waiting time because they LIE! We waited over an hour to get on Jurassic Park and it was worth the wait. That ride was great! You get on these boats and go around the park where you see all these dinosaurs and then you climb this huge climb where you see a water fall and you think shit I am going to get extremely wet but then it stops as you get to it and a HUGE T-Rex comes out of the ceiling and scares the shit out of you. Right after that excitement you descend down a 84 foot drop!!!! That was a hell of a ride! It was freezing and the waiting lines were incredible so we didn't enjoy Universal Studios that much I don't think I will do it again that is for sure. We did however go and see Shreck 4-D and House of Horrors and The Terminator before we left and those shows were pretty awesome. I was glad to walk out the park about 9 and see our bus was waiting because we were all beat and cold. I am excited at this point that tomorrow I get to come home......
