Disney is great, how about Universal?

Well, i have to admit, we went to Universal Studios too! Ok, it wasn't as good as Disney world, but there again, it did have quite a lot of new rides and what looked like new Harry Potter rides too. So i guess Disney has a bit of work to do in terms of upgrading or building new rides? Apparently the Universal Harry Potter ride opens the same day that Disney launches Toy Story 3. So fan's of both are going to have an action packed week!

Anyway, i really enjoyed Revenge of the Mummy ride, it was scary yet, entertaining. I found the whole experience good fun. In that particular park, some of the other rides like Twister or even the Simpson's were good, but to be honest relied quite heavily on the virtual reality side of things which was a little boring after a while and felt kind of cheap.

I know not everyone likes a whirly ride, twisting and turning, but i guess for those of us who love a good stomach churning sitting and watching tv is a tad boring.

Jaws was good, although a bit predictable - (i hope i don't side like a killjoy) ok the model shark was huge.

Universal was relatively easy to find off Interstate 4 (I4) i think it was Junction 75? Make sure you don't take a wrong turn when you leave though (like we did) otherwise you may end up driving up and down the Interstate. Best to make sure you plan your journey if going by car.
