When you see the famous icon of the earth with Universal Studios, you know you arrive one of the most famous theme park in LA. So everyone must take a photo in front of it to show that you are here.
We just arrived here around 9 o'clock. You may need to wait for couple minutes to buy a ticket, not too long. The interesting thing of Universal Studios is that the difference between 1-Day pass and Season pass may be less than 10 dollars. Which I believe everyone will buy Season pass.
I'm lucky that I got the Minions for my ticket.
Go through the gate and then start today's tour. The first sign is a statue show how to make a movie. People may wait here to discuss how to play all the attractions. For me, it's not a problem. I did some homework on Internet before came here. Go to the Lower Lot first. The most interesting / newest attractions are there.
Since we go to the lower lot first, the first scene we found is Apollo 13.
And if you come here at the right time, you can also take photos for Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Megatron.
The attraction next to the Transformers is the Mummy which is also very good.
Next is Jurassic Park.
這三個遊樂設施都還算熱門，建議一入園就全部玩完再去玩其他。
Some one may say these three attractions are the most excited one in the Universal Studios. They are the must-dos in Universal Studios. I'll say play them first, because there are not so many people here while the park just opened.
Next to the elevator to the lower lot, there is a board shows how long you may need to wait for every attractions. The time I took the photo is 10:40 and most of them only need to wait for less than 20 minutes.
The church in the movie "Back to the Future". The tour guide said because it's too famous. It's so easy to be recognized if they use this scene in other movies. So they remove the clock and plant some new trees in front of it to make it not so familiar when an audience saw the scene in movies. That's really pity.

離開下園區後，建議直接到電梯口附近的遊園車入口排隊，環球影城的遊園車算是來此必不可錯過的，如果熟悉美劇，好萊塢電影，應該會有許多場景都很熟悉，即使不熟，也有很多有趣的，例如經典的大白鯊，最近才加入的金剛則是我最喜歡的部分。
When we leave the lower lot, the next attraction is Studio Tour. Everyone recommend this tour includes me. This is really the must-do in Universal Studios. My favorite part is King Kong, which is a very good 3D movie, and this is new for me. Last time I came here is about 25 years ago. Ha~
Next is going to watch the show "Water World." It's a really excited show and it can make some balance when you just have so many attractions.
The Harry Potter world which is still under construction. One interesting thing for me is that, even in Germany, there is still group tourists. You can meet backpackers from German all over the world. Even though, some Germans still join the group tour which is a little funny and such a new thing for me.
Another board in the park which I took the photo at 13:20 and every attractions need to wait for more than 35 minutes, but the Transformers need to wait 60 minutes.
This is why people come to Universal Studios, you may easily to take photos with the movie stars.
The last show we watched, and the animals are well trained. It's a good show.
總的來說，我覺得環球影城內有太多的2D/3D雲霄飛車了，幾乎都是一樣的公式，導致我玩了三四個之後，對後面幾個的興趣就沒有那麼高了，也許這是為什麼還另外規劃了水世界與動物秀的原因，稍微平衡一下，比較能夠把遊客留得久一點；只是我今天還是在下午四五點左右就覺得累，而打道回府了。
Generally speaking, there are too many roller coaster with 2D/3D movies. Easily to make people feel a little bit bored, just repeat again and again. Maybe that's why they have the animal show and Water World to get some balance although we still feel tired and think it's time to go home around 4 or 5 o'clock which is still early.
